A term coined recently by a comedian from
C4's 8/10 Cats, generated randomly during their Countdown session. Hilarious.
Research concludes that the term currently has no official
definition, however the etymology of such associated practise refers to erotic asphyxiation or breath control play, which is the intentional restriction of oxygen to the
brain for the purposes of sexual arousal. This sexual practice is variously called asphyxiophilia, autoerotic asphyxia, hypoxyphilia. The term autoerotic asphyxiation is used when the act is
done by a person to themselves. It has allegedly been around since the 17th century.
Author George Shuman describes the effect as such, 'When the
brain is deprived of oxygen, it induces a lucid, semi-hallucinogenic state called hypoxia. Combined with
orgasm, the
rush is said to be no less powerful than
cocaine, and highly addictive.'
Think David Carradine; Michael Hutchence (allegedly).
My definition would therefore be something along akin to:
'The act of submerging another's head in a liquid in order to induce erotic asphyxiation for the sole purpose of sexual gratification by either/both consenting parties.'
Discuss at your leisure!
Bob was well into freaky shit so Brenda held his head in the fish tank whilst she ploughed him like a field. Thankfully,
Bob lived to tell the tale and has reportedly engaged in subsequent
sex-drowns.
