“First off, some warnings. Never ever use something around the neck like a plastic bag, belt, or rope, and never do it alone. There’s too much risk that something can go wrong, and it can prevent the exhaling of carbon dioxide. That’s the real killer if you block the airway. As a future doctor, I would also warn that anytime you deprive the brain of oxygen, you could cause brain damage. That said, the way you do it is to press down on the carotid arteries on either side of the neck,” Tami explained.
“I’ve been holding my breath while masturbating. Is that okay to do alone, or do I need David to help me with that?” Cassidy asked.
“Is that Cassidy?” Tami asked.
“No, it was me, acting,” I said in a girl’s voice to try to throw her off.
I gave Cassidy a look, but she didn’t seem to care.
“You should be fine. Your body will automatically begin to breathe if you pass out. I would never try to push it that far because, in a small percentage of cases, you might not.
“What happens is the lack of oxygen can give you an increased amount of pleasure when you orgasm. They call the person being choked ‘a gasper.’ If you’re into it, I would suggest you use David as a spotter, someone to watch over you while you do it,” Tami suggested.
“So, what exactly do I do?” I asked.
“While you’re having sex, grasp her neck. You should be able to feel her heartbeat with your fingers. During the act, you can toy around with pressing and releasing. When she gets close, hold her neck tight right over the arteries on either side where you’ve felt her pulse, and watch for any signs of distress. If she looks like she’s in trouble, let go. And don’t choke her around the voice box. You can cause some real damage.
“Personally, I’ve never had a problem with David giving me a fantastic orgasm. I might pass,” Tami said.
“What about with Tim?” I asked to tease her.
“None of your business.”
I got a big smile on my face. Tami hung up on me. Well, that was rude. I was just about to have even more fun—Cassidy lured me back to bed.
The whole choking bit brought out the Alpha Male in me. I loved the dominance I had over my lover. When she got close, I put her calves on my shoulders and bent her in half. At the same time, I used my hand to hold her down, pressing my fingers against her neck under the back of the jaw on both sides. Cassidy’s face turned beet red, and her mouth and eyes opened wide. Then she exploded. I let her neck go and she instantly took in a huge breath. It looked like her eyes rolled up into her head.
If she hadn’t taken that huge gasp, I might have thought she had died, because she was utterly still, all except for her deep breaths. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled.
“We’re doing that again. That was the best orgasm I’ve ever had,” Cassidy declared.
I helped her orgasm again and then another time, and I got close myself.
“Do me,” I said.
At first, I was okay, and then it was like my eyesight started to tunnel, and I saw stars. Then I came. It was even better than I remembered, and that scared me. I could see this becoming addictive. No good could come from this.
◊◊◊ Saturday July 30
The past week had been the best I’d had all summer. Camp David was a success. I really enjoyed the lineman day. The coaches helped me prepare for it because I rarely blocked. I understood how to shed a block and make a tackle. I also knew the basic concepts that you kept your hands inside, stayed low for leverage, and pushing the defender to where you wanted them to go. It was easier to redirect them than it was to use brute force. Someone would always be stronger than you were at some point, so you had to learn finesse.
For one of the drills, I had the offensive linemen compete with their defensive counterparts going one-on-one with a tackling dummy set up seven yards deep. The offensive player had seven seconds to hold the defense. We kept score of winners and losers.
Two new kids who were brothers, Howard and Carl Lewis, showed some talent. The Callahan twins also stood out on defense. They had a combination of strength and quickness that made them ideal defensive ends. The surprise was Dan Ball, Jim’s cousin. He was going out as a nose tackle. His job was to occupy the center of the line and force the offense to double-team him. He went up against Johan Bauer and beat him consistently. That was a huge deal because Johan was probably our best offensive lineman.
I got into the act and tried my hand at defensive end. Alan had called me ‘The Hulk’ on more than one occasion. I was both strong and much faster than any of the linemen. Combined with my knowledge of martial arts, no one could block me. If this quarterback gig didn’t work out, I might make a decent collegiate defensive end.
