Breath reduction

This sex practice is one of the most dangerous in the BDSM field. The passive partner's breathing is made difficult or completely stopped for a short period of time. The bottom or sub, as the passive part is called, feels the oppression and the absolute exposure, as well as the dizziness and the increase in adrenaline levels as a turn-on. The brain is no longer supplied with sufficient oxygen, and panic rises. The suppression of panic gives him a kind of control, even though he is the slave/subordinate. The Dom or dominant partner feels pleasure by suppressing his partner and thus has, so to speak, power over the partner.

Breathing can be blocked or made more difficult by the bare hand, among other things by holding the mouth and nose shut or by squeezing the windpipe shut by choking the throat. Other aids to reduce breathing include plastic bags, damp cloth, latex masks, gags and more. Likewise, pushing underwater is a popular practice to prevent the partner from breathing. Breath reduction should always be practised with mutual consent and extreme caution. It is important to remember that breath reduction can seriously harm the partner, so a clear signal should be given to the Dom to stop immediately. Care should also be taken not to squeeze the trachea too tightly to prevent subsequent damage. Under no circumstances should the partner faint or turn blue during a breath reduction. Then this sex practice should be stopped immediately. If the relationship of trust and the health of the play partners is given, breath reduction can be an extremely tingling erotic experience.

In a BDSM studio or also in fetish offers on the internet, there are specially trained dominas who have learned the practice of breath reduction professionally and can offer this accordingly safely and highly erotic.
