Every breath you take
Every breath you take – The Police
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
I had originally considered Berlin’s take my breath away but I’ll explain why I decided on The Police’s slightly creepy lyrics a bit later.
Breathplay is something that absolutely terrifies me. To the point I find myself freaking out when I see clips of it, that doesn’t stop me trying to watch them though, I clearly don’t have that kind of restraint needed to stop myself.
I don’t want to feel the sheer panic as I try to gasp for breath. I don’t want to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen, I’ve experienced how that feels and it’s not something I want to repeat.
Obviously breathplay comes in degrees and what I’ve spoken about is the upper limit. It can be as innocuous as a hand over your mouth or having to hold your breath. That I can do.
I have always been intrigued by gas masks though, I’ve never really understood them so wanted to give one a go just to see if it’s something that could work for me. And was it? In a word, no. Maybe I chose the wrong one, if I’d chosen one I could see out of would that have been better? Who knows. All I know is I felt a bit nauseous so coupling one with a rebreather bag is a definite no.
I’ve always had a fantasy of being pinned down with a hand over my throat whilst I’m fingered to orgasm. I’m not sure if it’ll ever be a reality though.
Breathplay is remarkably dangerous. Whilst I’m not against a certain amount of risk putting myself in a dangerous situation just doesn’t appeal to me. All it takes is to be distracted for a split second and the results could be dire.
That brings me back around to my choice of lyrics. Putting them in the context of breathplay they stop being creepy, I want someone to watch me every step of the way and keep me safe.

Never tried a mask but I do enjoy breath play… I think the masks look fun and I always feel excited when I see them 🙂

Looks I’m the odd one out. I didn’t think I would like gas masks (not that the topic is all about gas masks), but in the right setting, I got hooked. It’s actually less about breathplay and more about hiding from the world, seeing a different perspective, experiencing different sensations. Yes, breathing does get harder. I can see how it’s not everyone’s kink, it wouldn’t be one if it were.
Thanks for making creepy lyrics less so!

I enjoy breathplay quite a lot but only with someone’s hands around my throat or on my face. I dom’t like wearing masks and someone else wearing one freaks me out a little. Nevertheless, this is a really great picture!

The gas mask thing is creepy. It is so not me. I am not into being dehumanized at all. However this picture gives me the shivers and I love it for that reason.
And the twist on the lyrics, you are so right.

Breath play is on my list of “don’t do’s” whenever I am asked . . . however, I always find the hoods and masks quite intriguing whenever I come across them from time-to-time. (Though I always put them straight back onto their hooks or shelves).
But I keep scrolling back to your eyes which is what makes this such a fabulously striking image!

That terrifies me…anything over my face freaks me out…but breathplay at a trusted someones hands? Hell yeah!

Wow. That’s a fantastic image. I’m not into breathplay either. I don’t mind if my partner puts a hand on my throat lightly, like an “ownership” gesture during sex, but squeezing is a no no for us. I can see why it appeals to people, but it just feels too dangerous to me.
Really enjoyed your post.

I like your explanatory twist on the lyrics at the end; it makes so much sense!
Breath play is not for me. I’m claustrophobic and prone to panic attacks when I feel my breathing is being inhibited. I nearly drown once as a child, so whenever I feel I can’t breathe it triggers traumatic memories for me. The idea of having anything covering my face… Just, NO.
(I sort of forgot about these issues once and – otherwise loving water and being quite athletic – decided to try learning to scuba dive. Let’s just say it did NOT go well…)

This is such an intriguing image and I keep coming back to it. I think it would make an amazing story prompt. I think how you’ve tied the image in with your words is really effective and totally relate to being watched very closely for safety reasons.
