breath play

Consensual oxygen restriction

Breath play is sexual activity involving the restriction of breathing to heighten arousal or orgasm.

Methods include choking, strangling, smothering, or covering airways.

The practice carries serious risk of death or brain damage, even among experienced practitioners—what feels controlled can turn fatal in seconds.

Also called erotic asphyxiation.
