I saw this on CNN while I was at the gym today. I didn't even know what to say, as I can't imagine "talk to my 13 year old son about autoerotic asphyxiation" is in the typical parental chats handbook.

http://www.wpbf.com/news/south-florida/palm-beach-county-news/police-investigate-hanging-death-of-eddie-dejesus/-/8815578/22142986/-/da9hftz/-/index.html



PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. —Police are investigating the hanging of middle school student Eddie DeJesus, whose mother found the 13-year-old boy hanging unconscious in his closet last week.

Ed DeJesus Sr. said his son was rushed to St. Mary's Medical Center last Tuesday and was pronounced brain dead Saturday.

DeJesus said his son did not commit suicide but was practicing a secret, deadly game that kills hundreds each year.

"There's this thing called a 'thrill hanging' where kids get, I guess, a high off of not having enough oxygen," DeJesus said.

DeJesus said his son was practicing autoerotic-asphyxiation, a practice of cutting off the oxygen supply to heighten sexual arousal. DeJesus said he's angry he'd never heard about it, so he could have warned Eddie how dangerous it is and not to try it.

"This is something people don't want to talk about, and when it happens to you, you feel sad, you feel ashamed (and) you feel angry," DeJesus said. "But I'm not ashamed of my son. I love my son. My son was amazing."

The family is planning Eddie's funeral for Oct. 11, and DeJesus said he wants to prepare a talk to give students about the dangers of autoerotic-asphyxiation.

Police said they have ruled out bullying in the death, but they are questioning friends and classmates for more information.

Not to pick apart the dads words at a very bad time for him...but have we really gotten to the point were we need to tell our children that hanging themselves to get off is generally a bad idea?

It's the choking game... I honestly don't know if you guys know wtf that is, but basically you choke yourself out until you're about to pass out and then you get that whole euphoric feeling from the lack of oxygen. When I was 15 a few of my friends did it by putting people in a sleeper hold and then they'd describe what they saw. I did it once, and when the monkey in a suit on a cruise started to tell me about Jesus, I left the room we were hanging out in. Eventually some kid who had discovered masturbation would eventually try to combine the two and pull a David Carradine.

The best hallucinogenic trips I have ever had. You black out for, what, 10-15 seconds, but it feels like you've just taken a 2 hours trip to wonderland. Last time, I kayaked through an entire river of insane rapids.

Tho, don't do this, kids. You pretty much loses all motor functions, and if you don't have good friends, you'll end up banging your head on the floor real hard. I didn't have good friends .

This better not come back to have backlash on South Park. They did an episode years ago about doing this "making your orgasms super awesome". I believe that's a direct quote. It sucks, but...really? You strangle yourself and DON'T think it's gonna be a bad thing. There's a lot of tragedy in the world, but this is senseless stupidity. Feel very bad for the family suffering.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Damn. So what I'm wondering is, would you rather your kid be dropping drugs like psychedelic mushrooms or DMT some of which do not even have lasting side effects, or would you rather they were almost killing themselves/others to get that high feeling?

IMO, Mushrooms...
Drugs aren't horrible as long as you aren't a freaking idiot about them and don't do anything too hard.

Definitely the mushrooms. And if he could bring me some good ones, I'd appreciate it, everytime I've tried mushrooms I've failed to takeoff.

Although, when kids, we used to get our choking high not through actual choking, but from hyperventilating and then keeping our breaths. 1) Adopt the foetal position, with your back to a wall and a friend facing you, 2) breath quickly and shortly in and out for about thirty seconds, 3) Rise up while keeping your breath, once up, have your friend push both hands flat against the top of your ribcage, right under your pectorals, and keep pressure there for about ten seconds, 4) Fly, fly higher then you've ever flown before.

Also, if one of you geniuses decide to die this way tonight, know that I'll be using the Darwin Award defence in case of lawsuits.

See, this I don't get. I never got this choking thing. Sure, I've known people who were into it, but I could never understand why.
The world is full of sexual kinks - and some of them are not only stranger than you imagine, they are stranger than you CAN imagine.

I dropped acid, smoked some joints and narc'd in my younger years - those were enough for me. These days I don't even get drunk. Sure, I'll have a few drinks, but never enough to get drunk. I know my limits and I don't push them.
It's not something I enjoy - and given my background, something I'd probably not come back from (alcoholism runs in my family on both sides).
(Narc'd as in 'had nitrogen narcosis' - something that many scuba divers have had happen at least once. Its symptoms are a lot like being drunk - without the hangover. )
