	All about Sharon Lopatka, by Rachael Bell
		Sexual strangulation is referred to by the psychological community as a form of asphyxiophilia.
		Asphyxiophilia refers to the general practice of controlling or restricting oxygen to the brain by “interfering with the breath directly or through pressure on the carotid arteries” in order to achieve sexual gratification (The Deviants’ Dictionary, 1997).
		Often, the hands or a tourniquet of some sort is tied around the throat during sexual intercourse or masturbation to achieve a feeling of euphoria and elation, which accompanies a lack of oxygen to the brain.

	THE MERCK MANUAL--SECOND HOME EDITION, Paraphilias in Ch. 104, Sexuality
		In contrast, the disorder of sexual masochism or of sexual sadism takes these acts to an extreme and can result in severe bodily or psychologic harm and even death.
		For example, masochistic sexual activity may involve asphyxiophilia, whereby the person is partially choked or strangled (either by a partner or by the self-application of a noose around the neck).
		A temporary decrease in oxygen to the brain at the point of orgasm is sought as an enhancement to sexual release, but the practice may accidentally result in death.

	Equivocal Deaths and Psychological Autopsy
		An accidental hanging due to autoerotic (asphyxiophilia) practice will often include protective padding around the neck and some evidence of previous experience with this practice, such as related pornographic material in the home.
		A ligature used as a noose may not be typical of asphyxiophilia, with slip knots being the norm, and may thus suggest a homicide, as was true in one of my cases several years ago.
		A defendant ultimately pled guilty to the homicide of a transvestite he had met at a gay bar after initially claiming he and the victim had been engaged in asphyxiophilia during sexual relations.

	Prostitute's death tied to sexual preferences - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		When a man accused of strangling a Waikiki woman goes on trial next week, his lawyer will claim that the woman was a prostitute who died accidentally while engaged in "asphyxiophilia" — the deliberate restriction of oxygen to the brain to intensify the sexual experience.
		Breiner's trial memorandum said that according to research published in 1990, at least eight people died in Hawai'i during an 11-year period as the result of erotic and/or autoerotic asphyxiophilia.
		Breiner said he also plans to call Dr. Anthony Manoukian, who is expected to testify that he concluded there were multiple "ligature" or cord or rope restraint marks on Sanders' neck instead of a single ligature mark as listed in the autopsy report on Sanders' death.

		Freak accidents happen to people all the time and there's no shame in dying from falling off your bike, getting trampled at a Pearl Jam concert or engaging in asphyxiophilia.
		However, I still hope when my time is up, it won't happen while I'm wasting hours chatting about trivial things, eating a bag of Tostitos or procrastinating.

	Viewpoints on Asphyxiophilia
		For some time now, I have felt that the practices of suffocation and/or strangulation done in an erotic context (generically known as breath control play; more properly known as asphyxiophilia) were in fact far more dangerous than they are generally perceived to be.
		As a person with years of medical education and experience, I know of no way whatsoever that either suffocation or strangulation can be done in a way that does not intrinsically put the recipient at risk of cardiac arrest.
		I have instructed hundreds of people in the possible ramifications of this behavior, I am fully aware of all the risks direct and indirect, and support their right to decide what's appropriate for themselves.

		Unfortunately, given the realities of the physiology of asphyxiophilia, there really is no meaningful "precaution B" that one can take.
		cardiac arrest is imment by clinical assessment alone, even by someone highly trained and experienced) but nobody I know who really knows something about the physiology of asphyxiophilia believes that doing either of those things will _really_ do anything to significantly reduce the risk involved.
		Thus, we are left with the distinctly unusual (and unpopular) message that "practice A is very risky, and there is no significant precaution B, so lotsa luck if you try it" One can certainly understand how people could feel frustrated, and even cheated.
