Because we know you ’ve always been rummy , here ’s a brief guide to the science and forensics of hypoxyphilia , also known as autoerotic asphyxiation .
Using the death of role player David Carradine as a starting dot , The Neurocritic runs through some damn interesting data behind this potentially lethal intimate practice . For illustration , I had no idea that hypoxyphilia is officially recognized as a psychiatrical condition under the American Psychiatric Association ’s currentDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders . concord to psychiatrist Steph J. Hucker , one of the authors referenced by The Neurocritic :
The DSM - IV ( TR ) criterion for diagnose the stipulation in life practitioners are the same as those for sexual masochism : The behaviour that results from vivid and recurring fantasies or intimate urges over at least six months must be causing substantial clinical tension and/or impairment ( societal , occupational , other ) .
Hypoxyphilia has been known to medical science for virtually a hundred years , and to others perhaps since antiquity , but most of what we know about it has total from the study of cases in which a mishap has occurred and the individual has died as a result of , or during , the practice . Living practitioners run not to present clinically or to make their behaviours widely sleep together and hence elaborate brainstorm into the paraphilia is not wide available in the literature .
For those curious , I went in the lead and dig upthe DSM - IV criterion for intimate masochism . You’re welcome .
