How do you control asphyxiation?

Asphyxiation or asphyxia means to not be able to breathe! In typical situations where asphyxia occurs (in example, drowning or choking), it's usually out of the individual's control. If you're doing it on purpose for any reason, like auto-erotic asphyxiation, it's important to understand the dangers of doing so. Breath-play, as it's also called, is safest when done with a partner who will be able to tell when it's no longer safe. Choking or suffocating yourself on your own is VERY dangerous and ill-advised.
