INFORMATION ON GAGGING AND BREATH CONTROL

I never recommend playing alone, but if a person chooses to accept that risk I respect their choice.

Solo play is far more dangerous because if something goes wrong you have to be able to solve the situation yourself. This may be impossible if your problem is unconsciousness...a very natural part of our play. Most of the people who have died of breathplay were solo players. The upside to solo play is that if you do happen to die you will not leave behind a partner to possibly stand trial for assisting you in a consensual sexual act.

Here are some of the methods that people use in solo play...as with any form of asphyxiation play all the physiological dangers will be present as will the dangers of vomiting, fainting, and seizuring. The cardinal rule of solo play is to have a failsafe that automatically activates the instant you faint! Do not think that you will be able to operate the failsafe yourself when you are groggy or beginning to faint.

Holding your breath
This is simple enough. You can hold your breath and have both hands free for other things. The problem with this method is that unless you are really good at resisting your urge to breath you could let up before you really want to. Also, if you have a particular fetish for certain types of items (such as bags or nooses) I know this may not fulfill you. You might try holding, touching or wearing the item in question but I don't know if that would work for you. I have a latex fetish and just touching it is wonderful...your mileage might vary on that one. This style of play is going to be for people who are into the physiological feeling of asphyxiation and not so much into the objects that cause it. If that is you, then this is one of the best choices. Your body will naturally faint when you run dangerously low on oxygen and your main worry is making sure that when you faint you won't fall and injure yourself. The physiological dangers inherent in breath control will still be there and so will injuries related to fainting and vomiting but it is relatively safe. Many children hold their breath till they faint all the time and doctors don't seem to be too worried about it.

Nose Pinching
If you find that you have a hard time resisting the urge to breath one of your options might be to wear an easily removable gag or duct tape over your mouth while you pinch your nose shut with your hand. I don't recommend pinching your nose shut with anything like a clothespin because when you faint you will probably not have enough time to remove the clothespin. It would only take one mistake of leaving the clothespin on to end up dead. So, use your hand. If you faint it will fall away and you will be able to breathe through your nose. Don't play this way if you have a cold or other problem breathing through your nose. The advantage of this play is that it doesn't take as much will power. I hear that the name brand duct tape is easier to remove then the generic brand but be aware that it may irritate the skin or hurt when coming off. If you use a gag, use one that you can take off in a second. I wouldn't recommend the use of any gag with a buckle closure. In fact, it may be useful to just hold the gag in your mouth without closing it in the back. The reason for this precaution is that if you vomit from lack of oxygen you will need to get the gag off quick.

Suffocating yourself with objects
Pressing your face into something so you find it hard to breathe is another method. I think this can work out if you are standing or kneeling and pressing something into your face, such as a pillow or something. The main thing to be aware of is that you have to make sure that if you faint the thing will fall away from your face and give you air. It is also important that if you fall you won't harm yourself too badly.

Gasmasks or Hoods
I happen to have a major gasmask fetish. I love to wear them and hear my breathing. I love the feeling of all-inclusive bondage I get from them. If you decide to use a gasmask on your own and cover the opening so you don't get any fresh air please consider just using your hand rather than taping it shut. If you use your hand it will fall away when you faint. If you use tape or any other method that will not remove itself in case of fainting you could die after a miscalculation of how close you were to unconsciousness. I think this method of self-play is a bit more dangerous than the other's above because if you throw up you will have it trapped in the mask until you can manage to remove it and it will be easy to inhale it.

If you wear a hood, such as a discipline hood that encloses your face and has tubes for the mouth and/or nose areas I think you are taking a big risk doing solo play. If you are dead set on wearing one I would suggest one with a mouth opening that you cover with your hand or place a gag into while shutting off the tubes for the nose with your hands (not by using clips...but just by covering the openings with your hands). That way if you throw up you can spit out the gag. If you faint you will have a chance that your hands will fall away and you will land in a way that does not block the tubes. Many of the discipline hoods have tubes that actually are placed up into the nostrils and mouth....and are independent of the mask itself (so they can slide) this is important to remember because if you faint you could easily jam those tubes very far up your nose or into your throat. Many hoods are difficult to remove and the latex inflatable ones that I am fond of can be near impossible to put on or take off properly without a partner, so I don't recommend them for solo play.

Bags
One of the ways that many people have died is by placing bags over their heads and fastening them there with rubber bands. They poke holes in the bag when they feel as if they are going to faint. This method allows for zero mistakes. More experienced and more knowledgeable people than you have died doing this. The bad news is that if you fainted in that situation described above you couldn't survive. The good news is there is a way to get the same type of high...and even carry it to fainting...while having an excellent chance of it not causing a life threatening situation. I'm sure that if you have ever hyperventilated you have held a paper bag over your nose and mouth and experienced "therapeutic rebreathing". Well, if you use a plastic bag instead you can do the same thing and even carry it to fainting while sitting up or in some other position that allows for the bag falling away automatically when you faint.

Rebreathing bladders
This is a tricky one to play with safely in a solo scene. I would say that if you could absolutely secure the air bladder and tube so that it could not move you could then put your mouth on the tube and pinch off your nose (with your hands preferably). It would have to be done so that if you fall you would fall away from the tube and onto something that would not harm you. My instinct would be to hook something to the ceiling that you would have to reach up to slightly to put your mouth on.

Pressure on the Trachea and/or Hanging
I think that most of us would find this method a tad tricky as a solo practice. It is natural for us to release ourselves and panic when something presses into our windpipe. I imagine that a person could do this sort of play by taking a curved finger and pressing it into the trachea (up and back) where the neck meets the chin or by pressing into the windpipe below the larynx. Either way, the major downside to playing like this alone is that if you injure your windpipe or larynx you are going to be in big trouble if you are all alone. As long as the pressure is applied with your own hands you do not have to worry about strangulation itself that much because your hands will fall away when you faint. If you use something like a ligature that tightens around the neck you are really taking a big risk though. In that case you could easily injure your cervical spine, trachea, or larynx and even more importantly...if you pass out the ligature may not ease up and could strangle you after you faint. This is one of those behaviors that has led to a lot of deaths when done solo. It is usually when someone opts for a ligature device that tightens and does not automatically release when they faint. Hanging is a practice I cannot ever recommend as a solo experience. It was designed to snap the spine and it is important to understand that if you are airwalking you must not drop into position. Even a drop of 1 inch could break your neck or cause serious injury. If you are doing a solo hanging you are taking a very very big risk of all kinds of injury and if you faint you are dead unless someone finds you in time. Some ways you can manage some of the injuries involved in hanging are by padding the noose, adding a dry lubricant to the skin of the neck, and always keeping your feet touching the floor. Once again this play and Bagging are the two forms of auto-erotic asphyxiation that lead to the most reported fatalities.

Compression of the chest
I cannot currently think of a way to induce asphyxia through crushing the chest of a person that would allow a failsafe feature that would automatically be in effect if the person faints. I can say that corseting is a form of specialized breath control and if you have an interest in that you can see websites specific to that. Otherwise, I just don't have a clue how to make this safer other than never have anything apply pressure to the chest suddenly and violently. It must be slow and avoid trauma to the ribs. It is important that when someone feels faint while wearing a corset they are slowly unlaced and have the corset slowly let out. If it is too rapid they will generally faint or go into a form of shock. An interesting aside...in early America if a lady died from her corset she was said to have be "screwed to death." What a thing to have printed in the newspaper.

Pressure on the carotid artery
This would be tricky to achieve while getting off. I suppose you could put pressure on your carotid arteries yourself with your hands because they would fall away when you fainted. If you have some form of device do it you are taking one heck of a deadly chance though. It takes about 15 seconds of proper pressure to the arteries of the neck to cause unconsciousness and if the blood flow isn't restored you are dead.

Drugs
This is so incredibly dangerous that it amazes me that anyone is trying it. There are drugs that can induce asphyxia. I don't recommend them and I won't list them. I will list the problems with them. First, no one knows the safe dosage for you. Second, if you over react or have an odd response to the drug and you are alone you are basically dead. Third, you can't reverse it quickly if things start to go wrong. I would advise against this even if you happened to be a trained anesthesiologist with the best equipment money could buy. It shouldn't be done alone, no matter what.

• Never combine breath control with self-bondage, and be especially careful with gags. Getting yourself out of self-imposed bondage will almost certainly take longer than getting into it. Safe use of gags, however, requires that someone — normally an unbound topman — be able to react instantly if the bottom has a breathing problem. The same goes for a minimal-risk breath-control scene (I don’t think any breath-control scene can be risk-free). When you’re flying solo, it’s important not to add any unnecessary risks to those already inherent in the situation. If you use a gag, stick with a kind you can still breathe around if your nose clogs up, such as a bit gag or a rope gag between the teeth, and be sure you can remove it quickly and easily if necessary. Gags that completely fill and seal the mouth, or lock on, or are applied underneath other restraints (like a head harness or hood) are far too risky for a solo bondage scene.

• Don’t tie yourself up with rope. I know, I know — rope is cheap, it’s easy to use, it feels good, it has all kinds of sexy associations. Unfortunately, it’s just not safe enough for self-bondage. Rope ties can be slippery and unpredictable, and they make it much too easy to get yourself into a situation you can’t get out of. Locking steel cuffs, chains and padlocks, and leather straps or cuffs secured by buckles or padlocks are all much easier to control when you’re doing it yourself. If you earned a merit badge in knot-tying and feel you’re an expert rope wrangler, fine, but make sure you leave a good knife in reach!

• Cut yourself some slack. Despite the temptation to snug it all up just a little more, leave enough slack to insure you can escape when you’ve had enough. There won’t be anyone else to release you if you can’t (or at least not without a long wait, horrible anxiety, and a great deal of embarrassment at best). Self-bondage is risky enough without pushing your limits every time.

• Handcuffs are much easier to put on than to take off even when you have the key. Practice thoroughly with them alone before you combine handcuffs with any other restraint that may escalate the difficulty. If possible, practice getting into and out of handcuffs locked behind your back with a partner present until you’re sure you can do it easily on your own.

10,000 Combinations
I don’t believe there is any way to make what I’ve been calling “strict” self-bondage — the kind where you cannot escape until some release mechanism is triggered — absolutely safe. You can reduce the risks until you’re comfortable with them, but don’t fool yourself that you’ve eliminated risk entirely. As with solo mountain-climbing, skin-diving, or cave-crawling, even when you take every reasonable precaution, accidents can still happen, and you could die from one. On the other hand, you could be hit by a truck crossing the street with the light. I’m not suggesting that we can or should avoid all risks, only that we need to be realistic about them — and not let our itchy pricks lead us to take greater risks than we’d otherwise be comfortable with.

And there’s no reason to be stupid about the risks we accept, either. Peter Boots, who’s been happily getting himself into and out of severe bondage for more than two decades, advises that when it comes to release mechanisms, it’s best “to rely on very basic things: Ice melts, gravity makes things drop, the sun rises in the morning. Some people use timers, motors, electronics, but as soon as the power goes or something malfunctions they’re stuck. So far I have not come across a mechanical or electronic fail-safe mechanism I would trust.” (Issue #25 of Bound&Gagged includes a scary story about just such a situation, “The Day the Fail-Safe Failed.” Of course, the writer of the story managed to get out anyway, but it was a very near escape, and it cured him, at least, of reliance on such mechanisms.)

For overnight scenes without a hood or blindfold, Peter uses a four-digit combination lock to attach his cuffed hands and ankles to a chain stretched across his bed (he likes to sleep in fetal position with his hands and feet close together); you could use a similar setup to chain yourself to the wall, the floor, or a post. “It’s very tedious to try to get out while it’s dark,” he notes, “as there are 10,000 different combinations to try, but as soon as it gets light I can open the lock instantly.” Peter strongly advises against using a dial-type combination lock, as if you’re feeling rushed or panicky, it’s too easy to make a mistake in the series of back-and-forth twists and turns needed to unlock it even when you can see what you’re doing.

The Two-String Theory
A combination lock you know the code for is hardly inescapable during the day, however, or if you’re restrained loosely enough that you can move around and turn on a light. For nonbedtime scenes, or shorter scenes, which may involve a spreadeagle or other stretched-out position, Peter favors ice and gravity for time release, and he uses a setup that involves two separate strings or cords. At the end of one string is the critical key that will enable him to free himself; the other end is attached to a hook on the wall or ceiling in such a way that the key will hang straight down within easy reach once he’s in position on the bed.

Typically, the key unlocks either of the padlocks (they’re keyed identically) at the ends of a chain between one of his locking wrist cuffs and one of the screw eyes at the corners of his bed. In a spreadeagle position the key is handy to his right hand if he’s on his back, to the left hand if he’s on his stomach. (Other arrangements are possible, such as locking both wrist cuffs to the center of a chain stretched between the screw eyes at the top corners of the bed, and similarly for the ankles, with the cuffs attached to a chain at the foot of the bed.) If Peter weren’t interested in a delayed-release bondage scene, he could leave it at that — when he was ready to release himself, he’d just grasp the dangling key and use it. The trick of “strict” self-bondage, however, is to make the key unavailable until after a certain amount of time has passed.

Therefore, Peter prepares a second string whose sole function is to pull the first string (the key string) out of reach. The second string has one end frozen inside an ice cube (he always keeps several strings frozen into cubes in his freezer!). He puts the ice cube under several other cubes in a coffee mug, ties the free end of the frozen string to the first string somewhere above the key, and places the mug far enough from the bed that the tension on the frozen string pulls the key-holding string away from its previous straight line down to his hand, thus holding the key out of reach. Until the ice melts enough for the frozen string to pull free of the mug, the key to his freedom might as well be in the next county, and Peter can enjoy the feeling of being inescapably bound. How long that lasts is determined by the temperature of the room and the size of the ice cubes.

Peter has experimented so that he knows just how long the key will stay out of reach at his bedroom’s normal room temperature. Of course, if it’s wintertime and the heat in the apartment goes off without warning, he may have a longer wait, but with ordinary-size ice cubes it’s unlikely to be an intolerable one. Peter’s experiments also covered some obvious variations, such as freezing the second string in a whole cupful of water instead of in one ice cube — the trouble is, the larger block of ice takes much longer to melt, and the timing can vary over a much wider range, so he doesn’t recommend it. I also asked him about freezing the key itself in an ice cube or cup of water and leaving that within reach, dispensing with the strings entirely, but he pointed out that in that case there are a number of ways you could accelerate the melting process (warming the ice with your hand or another part of your body, blowing or pissing on it). Forcing the ice to melt faster would get you out of bondage sooner, but that contradicts the whole idea of a preset time during which you cannot escape.

Peter’s use of two strings is very important in making his arrangements “fail-safe.” I’ve read many single-string self-bondage scenarios in which a key is suspended from a string frozen in ice so that it will drop into your hand when the ice melts — but what if it misses your hand and falls to the floor? Or bounces underneath the bed or behind a cabinet? It’s far safer to begin, as Peter does, with a tethered key hanging within reach, and then use ice to keep it pulled out of the way for a preset time. Thus, instead of depending on a time-release mechanism to reach the key, you’re depending on such a mechanism to withhold it from you; if the mechanism fails, you can escape.

Peter stresses that in order to minimize the risks of delayed-release self-bondage, good planning and lots of practice are essential — but practice each step by itself, before you combine them into an arrangement that’s inescapable. “Test and check everything several times before you get going,” he says. “And the most dangerous thing you can do is to change your usual setup on the spur of the moment to make it more severe because you get turned on by the idea. Most of the self-bondage accidents I’ve heard about occurred for that reason.” If you possibly can, it’s a good idea to notify a friend before you embark on a delayed-release solo bondage scene, so that he can let you out if something goes wrong and you don’t call him back by a pre-arranged time.

Above all, if things go wrong, try not to panic. “Often there is an alternative way out, however difficult,” Peter notes. “But if the worst should happen, you just have to make noise until the neighbors call the police.” That’s another reason not to use a severe gag on yourself during any strict self-bondage session, and it also suggests that it’s safer not to practice self-restraint in isolated locations far from any possible aid. If that’s where you happen to live, of course, you have to make the best of it, but it’s not a good idea to place yourself beyond all possible rescue if you don’t have to.

D.I.Y. or Die
Some guys, like Peter, are aficionados of self-bondage because they really enjoy the challenges and the exotic psychological twist of playing both top and bottom at the same time. Others, like me, do it primarily out of frustration, when we really need to be bound up but can’t find or seduce a capable and trustworthy top into doing the honors. (For some reason, the supply of good tops is woefully short of the demand — maybe because bottoms really do have more fun?) Still others may explore self-bondage for a combination of reasons.

Whatever your motivation, don’t rush into a solo session! I’ve taken stupid risks myself when need drove me, but as I’ve gotten older, wiser, and more experienced, I find it easier to take a deep breath and think before snapping the cuffs closed on my wrists or the padlock shut on the zipper of my hood. I ask myself several questions, and unless I have a good answer to every one of them, I either abort the session or go back to square one and plan it all over again: Exactly how will I get out? Will I still be able to get out after a few hours of lying, sitting, or standing in these restraints? What will I do if my planned escape doesn’t work? What is the worst that can happen if I can’t release myself?

It’s said that a hard cock has no conscience — or common sense — but no one is forcing us to reduce ourselves to our hard cocks. If you want to enjoy self-bondage not only once but again and again, stay sober and alert, plan carefully, don’t push your limits too hard, and practice, practice, practice!
