My local library had a web site for "kids and teens" that pointed to an American Library Association web site that pointed to a web page designed for kids and teens to learn about things including autoerotic asphyxiation (cutting off air to get a better orgasm). I complained and they said they would take action but they never did. Ultimately the ALA stopped pushing the web site.
Our doctor's son died this way. Apparently he was doing this regularly. It was so awful that the parents divorced. The doctor was never the same. It was their only child. He said, "The worst thing is how the body is discovered."
Many magazines and other sources have promoted the eroticism of this practice.
Cheech Wizard rules.
"Euphoric sensation" This "high" can't be all that great if they pass out. A few seconds high ??? Didn't they use to inhale fumes from cans years ago is this a new fad/ How about just plain old sex for that euphoric sensation.
These young kids really do alot of self destructive acts and their so called friends just stand by and watch. It's really sad.
too sad to joke about the death of a teenager. You must not be a parent or have ever loved or love a kid and understand that teens show poor judgement and sometimes it costs them their lives.
This "choking game" craze is sweeping the nation and attracting kids as young as 10. I have communicated with devastated parents who will live with this loss forever.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I remember kids "huffing" gasoline fumes back around the late 1960s.
The can of dust remover that I have in reach is labeled "NOTE: CONTAINS BITTERGENT TECHNOLOGY...."
And people say that Darwin was wrong.
Of course, that's a possibility. Many of such solitary deaths are ascribed to "accidental" strangulation.
Think of it as evolution in action. Or maybe it's an act of God or Intelligent Design or whatever alias they're going by these days
natural selection.
"I wanna see you CHOKE!!!!"
It's called autoeroticism. Unfortunately, kids and adults have been doing it for years, sometimes, as in this case, to deadly effect.
