ORIGINAL: xoxi Oh my god that article is really scary. I seriously l ove breath play...but this just freaked me out: " There are many documented additional dangers. These include, but are _not_ limited to: rupture of the windpipe, fracture of the larynx, damage to the blood vessels in the neck, dislodging a fatty plaque in a neck artery which then travels to the brain and causes a stroke, damage to the cervical spine, seizures, airway obstruction by the tongue, and aspiration of vomitus. Additionally, there are documented cases in which the recipient appeared to fully recover but was found dead several hours later." " The primary danger of suffocation play is that it is not a condition that gets worse over time (regarding the heart, anyway, it does get worse over time regarding the brain). Rather, what happens is that the more the play is prolonged, the greater the odds that a cardiac arrest will occur. Sometimes even one minute of suffocation can cause this; sometimes even less. " in addition to the above, there's something else to add to the list, as pointed out to me by another CM member...after you have engaged in breath play, your larynx can swell, causing suffocation. (if I've got the wrong body part there, please feel free to correct me). personally, I never cared one way or another about it, but after finding that out, it's not something I'll engage in any more.
