It may be consensual, but not safe or sane. Each has there own. There are safe measures in artery play but you best be ready for the worst and have 911 near by. Wow! I deal with "cutters", kids who cut themselves intentionally for attention or to remind themselves that they are alive and can still feel pain. They usually only cut capilaries. But every once in a while, someone convinces one of them to cut an artery, telling them it is no more dangerous than drawing blood. They DIE. There is a tremendous amount of ignorance about the way our bodies work as evidenced by the innocent post by "ragdoll", who thought this could be safe as well. Artery play is NEVER safe....even when you are playing with a physician who has a sterilization and suture kit readily available. Arteries, because of the pressure in them, connected directly to the heart "pump", cannot be closed without sutures or a tournequet (which then can cause the loss of the limb). To be safe, sane and consensual, the submissive persuaded into this kind of play needs to have all this information, as well as the statistics of those that don't make it, even with a physician in attendance. Is it possible to give one's consent to something so dangerous that the stats show more people with arterial injuries don't make it than do??? If I were the friend of a submissive considering something like this, I'd try to get her/him a psych eval for major depression. This is a death wish.
