Breath play

Control over a partner's breathing through techniques such as choking, face coverings or breath control hoods. 

Control over a partner's breathing is a form of dominance in the BDSM world where the dominant party has power over the submissive partner's ability to breathe. This can be achieved through various techniques such as choking, face covering or the use of breath control hoods.

Choking involves pressing on your partner's throat or blocking their airway to prevent them from breathing. This can provide an intense sense of control and submission for the submissive, but it is also an extremely dangerous practice that can lead to serious injury or even death. It is therefore important to practice this technique with great caution and care.

Face covering involves covering the partner's face with a mask, scarf or other object to restrict their ability to breathe through their nose and mouth. This can create a sense of isolation and powerlessness for the submissive, but it's also important to ensure that they can still breathe freely and are not exposed to danger.

Breath control hoods are special hoods or masks designed to control the partner's breathing by restricting airflow into the hood. These hoods can provide an intense feeling of confinement and submission for the submissive, but it is important to be aware of the risk of suffocation and make sure that the submissive can always breathe freely.

In the BDSM community, communication and trust are essential when it comes to exploring controlling breathing practices. It's important to have clear boundaries and a safe word to signal when a situation becomes too intense or uncomfortable. It's also important to be aware of safety precautions and to seek out knowledge on the proper execution of these techniques to avoid injury.
