If a woman offs her husband that way, they will just fall back on the old Carradine Defense. ---

The term autoerotic asphyxiation is used when the act is done by a person to themself. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper.

No matter how erotic something like asphyxiation could be, I think I’d choose “plain vanilla pleasures” over “high chance of death”. ---

The “trick”, from what I hear every time one of these cases comes up, is to set it up in such a way that, should you pass out, the cord/rope/belt will release. So, a cord wrapped around your neck that you have to actively be holding tension on, not a cord that’s anchored to something overhead that’ll cinch if you pass out. ---

Aside from the risk of death from autoerotic asphyxiation, there’s the risk of being found dead by a loved one in that position. So if you worry at all about postmortem embarrassment, you might want to avoid it. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > If a woman offs her husband that way, they will just fall back on the old Carradine Defense. It’s happened at least once, but I’m not aware of any cases where the femme fatale used the man’s proclivity to murder him. [Sada Abe](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sada_Abe), whose life was the subject of 70s artsy erotic movie _In the Realm of the Senses_, killed her partner while engaging in risky breath-play, and became something of a national heroine for the devotion she’d shown, both in catering to his kink, and her grief after the results. ---

> [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > killed her partner while engaging in risky breath-play, That seems misleading. According to the linked article, she killed him while he slept and then took his bits and bobs for a souvenir. ---

Regardless of the specifics of that person’s case, the idea of inadvertently killing your partner while you’re both indulging your kinks is pretty sucky. Talk about a real buzzkill. And then how do you later recruit their replacement and go on enjoying your kink, whatever it is? Kinks tend to be really hard-wired, so cultivating a new one with less … baggage … would be difficult. Bad deal all around. My advice: avoid accidentally killing your lover. ---
