The first case describes a 30 years-old female, who required all of her past sexual partners to choke her with hands in order to reach orgasm. The two of our clinical cases describe two victims of voluntary erotic asphyxiation, involving complex sexual environment in which a sexual partner accidentally strangulated the other one during sex. In total, we analyzed 15 cases of sexual asphyxiation - 2 of our own 5 reported in prosecutor's archives 8 control cases ruled as a non-sexual homicide.

Lastly, we provide the summary of interviews involving the country's only forensic unit, which investigates criminal cases involving voluntary and involuntary strangulation. Third, we examine the prevalence of death due to strangulation in erotic and non-erotic cases using central court database. Second, a meta-analysis of these materials in relationship to forensic reports obtained from prosecutor's office. First, a retrospective chart review of our clinics' two recent cases. The mode of analysis involves three sources of data. This study analyzes deaths caused by sexually-motivated strangulation to cases of homicidal choking - summarizing criminal penalties for defendants, depending on the presence of drugs, or alcohol intoxication. Erotic asphyxiation is a sexual phenomenon in which one partner reduces the other person's brain oxygen level through strangulation.
