"Auto-Erotic accidents" - could also happen some of us...

From a wonderfully tasteless book called "1001 Ridiculous Ways to Die."

"A church organist found dead in a huge plastic bag attached to a vacuum cleaner was killed when a bizarre sex act went wrong ... He was found naked ... in a foetal position, his legs bound at the shins with brown parcel tape, and his wrists tied together by a silver chain ... The vacuum had sucked all the air out of the bag. It was not known what his intentions were prior to his death, but the pathologist said it was unlikely that he'd been forced into this position. 'He was a self-taught amateur' said his minister, referring to [his] organ-playing, not his sexual deviancy."

Or...

"[X] made himself a special harness which he attached to the ceiling of his bedroom ... then stripped naked and climbed on board ... But his efforts to achieve auto-erotic asphyxiation went sadly wrong, as a problem with the ligature round his neck caused it to strangle him."

Or...

"[Y] was found dead in bed with a condom over his head, after experimenting with nitrous oxide ... It wasn't the gas that killed him [but] suffocation from wearing the condom."

Or...

"[Z] died after a kinky experiment involving a Russian biological warfare mask."

Or...

"Bondage-lover [A] put a noose round his neck whilst his lover ... pretended to be a neo-Nazi hangman. Unfortunately, he gave her a blunt knife [with which she] couldn't cut him down before he was strangled."

Or...

"Sado-masochist [B] accidentally caught his death on video whilst using a bizarre noose-and-pulley system for auto-erotic sex ... He was found in a specially-equipped dungeon, surrounded by whips, chains, rubber-wear and gas masks ... A video tape showed him putting a noose round his neck, with the cord suspended from pulleys, and a urine-filled sweet jar acting as a counter-weight."

Or...

"Stephen Milligan was a Conservative MP. On 7th February 1994, his cleaner entered the kitchen of his London home, and found Milligan tied to the table by electrical flex that was also wound round his neck. He was naked apart from a pair of black stockings, suspenders and lace panties. A police also investigation revealed he had a piece of satsuma orange in his mouth. His frankly ridiculous death was officially declared as resulting from auto-erotic asphyxiation."

I print the name of that last one because he was a politician, and thus deserves it.

But it does make the things that members of this site get up to seem rather tame and prudent.

^^Do you have more info on that book? Sounds like an entertaining read.
I don't remember the details but I believe a member here actually did die in a sinking related accident.

Um... It's called "1001 Ridiculous Ways to Die" by David Southwell and Matt Adams. Published by Carlton in 2008. I believe that an American version was published under the title "Death by Stupidity." Deaths include some guys who got drunk and decided to play football with a landmine; someone who was obsessed with body odour and used so much aerosol deodorant that they effectively asphyxiated themselves in their own bathroom; and an undertaker whose hearse was involved in a traffic accident. The coffin shot forward and hit him on the back of the head.

There is also a sequel, called (wait for it...) "1001 More Ridiculous Ways to Die." These include the WW2 submarine that torpedoed itself, a Cambodian man who was eaten by a five-legged pig - and the quicksand death of Rodolfo Fierro.

Yes, I have copies by me as a type. They're fun, and a macabre sort of way. To acquire copies, Amazon is your friend.

There is also a tv series called "1000 Ways To Die":

http://www.spike.com/shows/1000-ways-to-die

Stories include two stoners that start experimenting with smoking various things to see if they could get high, and wind up smoking what turns out to be poison sumac, which blisters the inside of their lungs, causing death. Or, a woman who ingests tapeworm eggs to lose weight, only to have them start to multiply, burrow through her intestinal walls into the rest of her body, attach themselves to her internal organs, and suck away all the nourishment, causing her to die of malnutrition. However, these stories, while based on real life incidents, are embellished a bit, with some details altered.

Another interesting show is "Sex Sent Me To The ER":

Like Bart1997 I do my best to get stuck in any mud available-clay gives the best "sink to stuck" ratio so I suppose I am a candidate for a sticky end!! Rather more seriously it does seem that breath control & erotic suffocation scenarios are the main risks & should only be attempted in company That said one of my mud buddies submerges completely for long periods ,breathing through a tube & float device. I do wonder about the safety of this aspect of sinking

Agreed. Read up on it sometime. It's like playing with fire.

I count myself as one highly lucky fetishist. I do not believe we choose our sexual interests since they tend to be so persistent and so hard to control.

And I don't even need real textbook quicksand -- any ol' mudpit deep enough to play the role of quicksand will do. It doesn't have to really be bottomless either. I just need to trick myself into thinking it is, but knowing where the bottom is not a problem for me.

Without the need for bondage, breathplay/asphyxiation, actual peril or even an adrenaline rush, all I ever do when I'm done is get out of the mudpit. And I usually hang my cell phone on a handy bent cattail.

It could be a lot worse.

I suppose bad things can always happen. I don't worry much, though.

There have been members of this board that I know have gotten themselves stuck in situations that required help or hours of effort to escape. I have personally witnessed or experienced "stuck" situations and had difficult times and close calls of other types. While not necessarily "auto-erotic" accidents they are reminders that we dabble in something where you need to be thoughtful, careful, and prepared about it or you may become an unintentional headline yourself.

Trouble is getting stuck & requiring hours of struggle to get free are highly auto-erotic for me Just wonder where I need to draw a line Probably not as far as I already go!!
