A term coined recently by a comedian from C4's 8/10 Cats, generated randomly during their Countdown session. Hilarious. Research concludes that the term currently has no official definition, however the etymology of such associated practise refers to erotic asphyxiation or breath control play, which is the intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for the purposes of sexual arousal. This sexual practice is variously called asphyxiophilia, autoerotic asphyxia, hypoxyphilia. The term autoerotic asphyxiation is used when the act is done by a person to themselves. It has allegedly been around since the 17th century. Author George Shuman describes the effect as such, 'When the brain is deprived of oxygen, it induces a lucid, semi-hallucinogenic state called hypoxia. Combined with orgasm, the rush is said to be no less powerful than cocaine, and highly addictive.' Think David Carradine; Michael Hutchence (allegedly). My definition would therefore be something along akin to: 'The act of submerging another's head in a liquid in order to induce erotic asphyxiation for the sole purpose of sexual gratification by either/both consenting parties.' Discuss at your leisure!
