I enjoy sinking, and the deeper it is, the better!

I love struggling, and imagining that I am going to be sucked down to my doom, a most stimulating experience!

The thicker the mire is, the better, since it warms up to me more nicely, increases the "stuck" feeling, and puts more pressure where it counts!

If the mud is deep enough and conditions are right, both temperature-wise and cleanup area availability-wise, then I love to go completely under, preferably vertically. If the mud is loose enough, then I can pull myself under deeper, and if it is
REALLY loose, I may even be able to pull myself down deep enough for me to reach straight up, and not feel the surface, before climbing back up to the surface, before I run out of my lungful of air (don't want my body to force inhalation while still submerged

). But, I rarely get that particular opportunity. Mostly, I enjoy going several inches under the surface, and breathe through a breathing tube. I use swim goggles to protect my eyes (except for melodramatic on-camera sinks), since mud always seems to get inside, no matter how tight I keep them closed.
For underbog sinks
without a breathing tube, since it takes longer to move through mud when it is thick than when it is loose, I can't go under as deep on a lungful of air (needed for a round trip) in thicker stuff as I do in thinner stuff. But, if the mud is thick enough, I sometimes can go a bit deeper due to a gap in the mud staying open over my head, which after it closes, reopens when I begin to work myself back up just part ways. But, when the air passage is deeper, I find myself a bit more out of breath, likely due to me breathing in more of my exhaled carbon dioxide, and not getting quite as much oxygen as I do when I am closer to the surface, or above the surface. When the gap narrows enough, then I can get more oxygen, since there isn't as much of a pocket for my CO
2 to collect in.
Good thick mud, where I am breathing through a breathing tube or even just a tiny gap in the mire over my head, is something that I love to stay under in for as long as I can, losing track of time, perhaps even half an hour, 45 minutes, or more! When the mud is very thick, and I exhale underneath it into the mud, I love the way it briefly separates from my face before sucking back against it again, with my exhaled air, that is rising to the surface, making a sound similar to when you blow air into balloons or anything that is inflatable.
If I start to feel a bit chilled, I struggle a bit, which helps me to warm up a little. I do eventually feel a bit on the chilled side, but mire's wonderful feel is stronger than any slight discomfort from being a little cool. The main thing that eventually gets me out is a full bladder, which I have to empty in the grass/bushes away from my sinking spots.
Resurfacing and escaping is rather easy. For loose mud, I just make climbing motions, stepping up with my feet and pushing down with my hands. When the mud is thick, I work one foot up, the other foot up, and then straighten out, forcing my upper body higher, work one foot up, the other foot up, straighten out again, which forces my upper body higher, etc. Thin mud is easy to move through to get to solid ground. As for thick mud, I just work myself up as high as I can, usually around waist deep, sit back, work my legs out, and then crawl to solid ground.
I also enjoy watching others sink. I love to put myself in their place and imagine what they are experiencing, or go a bit further in my fantasies, where anything can happen!
