Breathplay, in the context of sexual activity, refers to practices that involve restricting or controlling breathing to enhance sexual pleasure. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as applying pressure to the throat, using an object to cover the nose or mouth, or holding one’s breath.
It is important to note that breathplay carries significant risks, including loss of consciousness, brain damage, or even death if not performed carefully and attentively. Because of these risks, communication, consent, and the use of safe techniques are essential for those engaging in this practice. It is always advisable to have safety measures in place such as a code word or non-verbal cue that can be used if someone feels uncomfortable or in danger.
