- "Intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal", to quote The Other Wiki. A general term for sex acts that involves either restricting one's own breathing for intensified sensations during masturbation or one party restraining the breathing of another. Needless to say, this particular paraphilia includes all the risks associated with asphyxiation, including fatalities. Thus it's generally considered to fail the "safe" part of Safe, Sane, and Consensual. Sometimes it will be a plot point that what at first appears to be a masturbation session gone wrong is actually a disguised murder.

Related to Out with a Bang, if you do it wrong. Possibly related to Too Dumb to Live, in any case. Sometimes used to promote the idea that Bondage Is Bad. Examples of Erotic Asphyxiation include:
