Erotic AsphyxiationErotic asphyxiation, asphyxiophilia, breath control play or scarfing is the sexual practice of partial asphyxiation by strangulation or suffocation of one person by another during sexual intercourse. The decrease of blood to the brain is said to heighten sexual pleasure. It can be dangerous and result in brain damage through loss of oxygenation to the brain, or in death through sudden cardiac arrest. It has also been speculated that in some cases erotic asphyxiation may have triggered the little-known phenomenon of carotid sinus reflex death. Most partners, however, have carried out this consensual practice with no problems. Because of the potential safety risks, those considering this sort of sexual activity are advised to be fully aware of the medical issues and risks involved before they choose to participate. Breath control play is often done in conjunction with other fetish activities such as rubber fetishism. This practice was depicted as leading to the death of a character in Rising Sun, a movie based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. It was also used in the less publicised 2003 movie Young and Seductive, starring Julian Wells, Alana Evans, and Robert Donovan. The practice was central to Nagisa Oshima's highly controversial 1976 movie In the Realm of the Senses. See also External links
