Well if you get panic attacks from it, it's a good thing that you don't. I mean it's not for everyone. If it's going to cause you any discomfort, you should never do it![]()
About the panic attacks - yep, screw with my breathing and I get hostile and reactionary. Not good for sex at all.
About my dominant tendencies - mostly they involve telling the guy what to do, I've never physically overpowered anyone, but I know how to put extreme and prolonged psychological pressure on. The experience with the topic of this thread I had was really limited, neither of us knew what we were doing except that if we started choking to let up, as I recall we were kissing really hard and he guided my hand to his collarbone area. It gravitated to his neck. I applied pressure, not a lot, just to see what he would do. He enjoyed it... but it wasn't a major part of the night's play.

exarkann - I'll try to find you some links on safe(r) asphyxiation play. Not quite sure where to look, but my friend who is into it who I had the nonsexual experience with could probably point me into a direction. I do know that it is covered in most basic BDSM texts, at least to a degree... yet I cannot find a text that is primarily about harm reduction, and I hesitate to recommend them on that ground. These texts are available over discriminating Google and Amazon searches.
However, without reservation - I will recommend Exit to Eden by Anne Rice, may be indexed under her pseudonym Anne Rampling. It is fiction, but no vampires as is characteristic of the author, very well done and sensual fiction, a BDSM novel beautifully told and a love story.
Be safe, everyone - NO ORGASM, no amount of getting off, is worth dying over. Asphyxiation is a risky activity that should be entered into only in trusting relationships with set boundaries, between individuals with responsibility and accountability toward one another.
