In the BDSM community, interactions of this nature may be referred to as breathplay or sometimes edgeplay, and generally include a partner. Because, like other forms of edgeplay, breathplay pushes the limits of "safe, sane and consensual" activity, situations involving breath control can be assessed using the acronym RACK or Risk Aware Consensual Kink. Partners are generally expected within this community to be cognizant of and responsible for the dangers that they may take part in. The great majority of known erotic asphyxial deaths are male; among all known cases in Ontario and Alberta from 1974 to 1987, only one out of 117 cases was female.[1] Some individual cases of women with erotic asphyxia have been reported.[9][10][11][12] The mean age of accidental death is mid-20s,[1][13], but deaths have been reported in adolescents[14][15][16] and in men in their 70s.[13][5] Lawyers and insurance companies have brought cases to the attention of clinicians because life insurance claims are payable in the event of an accidental death, but not of suicide.[17][18][19] [edit] History Historically, the practice of autoerotic asphyxiation has been documented since the early 1600s. It was first used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction and impotence.[20] The idea for this most likely came from subjects who were executed by hanging. Observers at public hangings noted male victims developed an erection, sometimes remaining after death (death erection), and occasionally ejaculated when being hanged. Note that, however, ejaculation occurs in hanging victims after death because of disseminated muscle relaxation; this is a different mechanism from that sought by AEA practitioners. [edit] Famous cases The composer Frantisek Kotzwara died from erotic asphyxiation in 1791, probably the first recorded case. Sada Abe killed her lover, Kichizo Ishida, through erotic asphyxiation in 1936, proceeding to cut off his testicles and carry them in her handbag for a number of days. The case caused a sensation in 1930s Japan and has remained one of the most famous Japanese murder cases of all time. Stage and screen actor Albert Dekker was found in 1968 with his body graffitized and a noose around his neck in his bathroom. The artist Vaughn Bodé died from this cause in 1975. The death in 1994 of Stephen Milligan, the British Conservative MP for Eastleigh, was a case of autoerotic asphyxiation combined with self-bondage.[21] Kevin Gilbert, a songwriter, musician, composer, producer and collaborator died of apparent autoerotic asphyxiation in 1996.[22] Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS is rumored to have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation in 1997, although suicide was the official cause of death.[23] A more recent case is the death in 2004 of the British National Front party member Kristian Etchells.[24] On March 28, 2007, the New York Times had a front-page story on a teenager who had suffered a heart attack and spent three days in a coma after hanging himself for a "rush".[25], in what appeared to be an instance of a choking game.
