Call me old fashioned…

(sorry I couldn’t resist).

I’m going to have to say that I agree, it’s not likely a suicide thing – way to much effort. As humorous as the Secret ninja martial arts cult execution may be, I’m going to say this isn’t the case either.

Maybe he had a heart attack while trying to get his rocks off, maybe it got out of control (he thought he had the situation under control) or maybe someone else was in the room and any combo happened.

I just have a hard time thinking he was alone.

Not that I’m advocating AEA but I wouldn’t expect a female to understand it, male and female masturbation is vastly different.

I can’t imagine it’d be fun standing around with a rope around your neck waiting four hours for an orgasm to appear .

“autoerotic asphyxiation (AEA)- strangling or suffocating themselves to heighten sexual arousal and orgasm. When the brain is lack of oxygen (asphyxia), one would experience a high – euphoria, dizziness, and lowered inhibition – before lose of consciousness. To make the sexual experience more thrilling, autoerotic asphyxiators masturbate while strangling themselves with cords, ropes, scarves, and ties, or they suffocate by sealing their heads in plastic bags. The vast majority don’t mean to kill themselves. They usually devise some kind of rescue mechanism to stop the asphyxiation once they’ve climaxed. But the fail-safe often fails. For example, they may tie a slip-knot or hang themselves from something that’s shorter than they are, so they can simply stand up to stop the strangulation. But they may get so weak and disoriented from lack of oxygen that they can’t pull out the knot or stand up, and they pass out and die.”

The whole practice sounds fairly horrific… I don’t know how people can go through all those pain and risk being dead just to have an extreme sexual experience or orgasm. Apparently the practice was “inspired by the Alfred Hitchcock movie Frenzy, which has scenes of women being strangled, and Westerns on TV in which outlaws are hanged.”

It was also reported that “autoerotic asphyxiation is one of the few sexual practices that remain hush-hush, mainly because forensic scientists and psychologists won’t talk about it outside their professional circles. They’re afraid of giving kids ideas.” As a matter of fact, as a mental health profession, I do think it’s about time to educate children, adolescents, even adults the correct mindset toward sex. Sex should be enjoyable, not painful or even death.

Surely there are as many sexual turn-ons as there are things in the world, and no one can keep you from feeling the way you do. If asphyxiation is your thing, however, it’s best left to fantasy. Because AEA is a high price to pay for pleasure and you might not be able to afford it at the end of the day.
