I found out a very good friend of mine died after I took him home on Sunday night.

Damn, this practice is more wide spread than I first thought.

If you knew how dangerous it was, why would someone do it?

I suspect this is in many ways similar to dabbling with harder drugs.

You know the old lines like, 'It won't happen to me' and so on.

That said, It's still a tragedy.

Sorry to hear that.

 

[Raina]

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that. I'd never heard of that until a few months ago but more recently have heard of it happening more often.

I'm sorry for your loss though. How sad.

I may have to cut my business short and return depending on when the services are.

I saw it depicted in some movie years ago. I recall that sometimes it's a power fantasy situation. My condolences AAP.

He was actually found Monday morning by one of his clients. He did massage therapy out of his home and his regular client showed up and saw him on the couch through the glass in the front door.

Can you imagine going to your therapy and finding your therapist dead?

Some people like to be choked during orgasm too.

A lot of people really.

But being into getting choked is a really different thing from autoerotic. You're combining BDSM and the euphoria from lack of oxygen to the brain.

damn. aap im really sorry to hear. ZK is right, this kind of thing is VERY common

they make all sorts of special harness's or whatever out of anything they can find.

its a shame that these people end up dying, bc when they hang themselves they are usually only inches from safety (sitting up or kneeling up is all it would take) since they usually anchor it to the top of a bathroom/bedroom door

i've never seen using the bag, i thought they used the harness's so that they can control the intensity, the problem is they push the limit and black out due to lack of 02 and never have the chance to take the pressure off

this was part of the plot line for an espisode of "six feet under" last season.


check your PM's, AAP.

I'm really sorry to hear that AAP. I can't even imagine how horrible it must be for his parents to hear not only that their son is dead, but also how he died.

And what a horrible call for his roommate to make to his parents...
