breath control

Singer's lung discipline

Breath control is the deliberate regulation of breathing, especially as a technique in singing, playing wind instruments, or meditation.

Proper breath control allows a singer to sustain long phrases without strain.

In sexual contexts, breath control refers to restricting breathing for erotic stimulation—a practice that carries serious risk of injury or death.
