Breath Control is one of my only fetishes, and my new Master discovered this the very first day we were together! When the pressure of his hands around my throat grows, my thoughts slow down and my mind becomes clear. The submissive in me finds her quiet and peaceful happy place here and trusts her Master completely to know when the experience is at an apex. While I prefer carotid pressure breath control, he uses the more dangerous windpipe method because I suspect he likes the heightened control with one hand. As my thoughts are always jumbled and racing, I tend to schitz out often and this is an instant way for my Master to clear my head and get my complete attention.
I couldn't tell you when I first discovered that I liked breath control so much, but I have always liked the feeling of the building of pressure associated with carotid pressure that I can cause to myself. Bringing it into sexual activity was natural for me. I agree that the Wiseman article is worth a read, and there are other sites out there that a simple google search will bring you to for other methods of breath control play. The deviant's dictionary has a good entry, for instance. I would post the link but can't yet :-(
Anyway, thanks for posting this thread! I've been trying to find others for a few weeks now.
