In many books and films on the subject of BDSM, you can also find the breath reduction. Many people wish to experience this for themselves once. But this sexual practiceis definitely associated with dangers.
We will show you how breath play works, what dangers lurk and what you should pay attention to in this type of play.
Breathing and the breathing reflex
Although we can control our breathing voluntarily, our breathing is still controlled by reflexes. This is the only way we can survive periods of sleep or even unconsciousness without suffocating.
We humans can train and thus suppress our breathing reflex for a long period of time, asthis article among others impressively illustrates, but without our breathing survival is impossible.
The breath reduction - Breath Control have about life
The practice of breath reduction in BDSM is so particularly appealing to active and passive players alike for this reason. Because with the reduction of the ability to breathe, survival is controlled at the same time. For example, if the passive partner is tied up, the active partner literally has his life and survival in his hands during breath reduction.
Breath control
On theother hand, this means that breath reduction gives the active part, i.e. the top, the highest feeling of control possible in the context of BDSM. On the other hand, the Bottom feels completely dominated and controlled during breath reduction. Thus, it is not surprising that so many people appreciate and love breath reduction as a special type of play.
The dangers of Breathplay
The problem, however, is that few players are really familiar with the biological, as well as the psychological, components of breath and oxygenation. The pleasure often comes from the onset of an adrenaline rush and is thus enormously strong and powerful.
But the dangers are just as great. Not even the dangers to the body, as no responsible top would risk danger here. It is rather the psychological dangers that make breath reduction so dangerous.
Panic and panic reactions occur, which can no longer be controlled and can hardly be restricted. In the worst case, bottoms injure themselves during breath reduction or make it almost impossible for the active partner to reduce the reduction.
Here is what to watch out for
If you want to try Breathplay yourself, then always only with an experienced partner in this area. It is important that in the best case no aids are used. If a panic occurs, these aids often cannot be removed quickly and safely enough.
The hand over the mouth and nose of the bottom can be more than sufficient and accordingly removed quickly. It is always necessary to act cautiously, to always observe the partner completely and to react correctly. A thoroughly delightful, but also dangerous game for active and passive participants alike.
However, we strongly advise against this type of game!
