Sick of the Lakers crap. If I have to hear how great Kobe Bryant is one more time, I may have to quit stifling the urge to say, "Yeah except for the part about cheating on his wife, possibly (probably) raping a woman, and that liking to choke women during sex stuff, he's a swell guy!" Grrrrrr.

Australian Gladiators sound scary!

Are they poisonous like everything else in Australia?

DH is watching Swingtown. Ack! Jack Davenport in 70s hair and suits and with a bland, Midwestern accent.

I saw a promo photo from that the other day and the last remnant of the crush I had on Grant Show in the 90s died screaming.

Today there must have been a couscous vibe in the air. I just fixed some (parmesan flavored) with leftover steak and peppers for dinner.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"You'll know you've been marked when you've been marked by Kouta."

I can't be the onluy person who immediately thought of 'dogs marking territory,' an I?

Kouta sounds like a sled dog. Or a dog in some Jack London story....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

liking to choke women during sex stuff

Hey, if the women like to be choked, he's doing them a favour.

Does "choking" always imply "restricting breath"? 'Cuz that's always bad (or so I hear).

Erotic asphyxiation isn't my bag of tea, but it's not an unknown way to get off. Having someone else do it to you makes it less likely you go out like Michael Hutchence.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think you can incorporate the fantasy of choking into your sex play without danger but for some folks it's the "seeing stars" they actually get off on and that is potentially deadly.

I read a post in a BDSM discussion by a Dr. who was also into BDSM - he said that there's absolutely no way to practice "breath control" on another person without a risk of death. He said that even a short period of restricting someone's breath would cause a risk of heart-attack or... something else bad.

His argument sounded reasonable to me, but I haven't read any more on the subject. I was under the impression that people into "breath control" are (eta: in recent years) less popular in the BDSM community because of this issue.

But I wanna be corrected if I'm wrong, 'kay?

eta: x-posty with Laga. Did it really take me five minutes to post the above?

Um, I dunno the technical medical stuff, but I do know a lot of people like holding their breath, or having their breath held for them, during sex..."breath play"...I've seen it done not during sex, just during BDSM play. But while the play I saw was done in a way that did allow the person whose breath was cut off to "tap out", I can't comment on how safe it was in a medical sense. Dunno. I wouldn't do it.
