}}'''Breath | }}'''Breath play''' (also called '''breath control''') is the intentional interference with the natural oxygen-based gas exchange of the human body for the purposes of sexual gratification. When performed specifically to restrict oxygen to the brain, this is called '''erotic asphyxiation''' (or when performed alone, '''autoerotic asphyxiation)'''. Breath control is a high-risk [[kink]] and a common cause of fatalities in kink-related incidents. | ||

=== Mouth and/or nose occlusion === | === Mouth and/or nose occlusion === | ||
The blocking of air from reaching the mouth and nose. | |||
=== Choking | For example: | ||
* Hand/Glove over mouth (HOM/GOM) | |||
* Gas masks (Hand over intake, valves, restrictors) | |||
* Swimcap over face/head | |||
* Dedicated breath control hoods | |||
=== Rebreathing === | |||
Rebreathing is the act of breathing in air that has already been exhaled. This is mostly done by means of an air bladder connected to a gas mask or a dedicated breath control mask/hood. | |||
=== Neck compression === | |||
Where pressure is added to the neck to halt breathing or restrict bloodflow to the brain. | |||
For example: | |||
* Choking | |||
* Ligature strangulation | |||
* Hanging | |||

There have been many cases within the kink community of accidental deaths related to breath control, primarily solo breath control. In the Western countries, the incidence of these deaths is of approximately 0.5 deaths per million inhabitants per year. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sauvageau |first=Anny |date=2013-12-01 |title=Current Reports on Autoerotic Deaths—Five Persistent Myths |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s11920-013-0430-z |journal=Current Psychiatry Reports |language=en |volume=16 |issue=1 |pages=430 |doi=10.1007/s11920-013-0430-z |issn=1535-1645}}</ref> | |||
