Have you ever purposely made yourself pass out?

No.

Other than going to sleep, no.

Yes, it is a very odd feeling.

When we were little, we would lean against our bedroom door (so my mom couldn't come in and catch us), lean forward, take 10 huge breaths, stand up quickly and have someone press against our heart... we'd just slide down the door and wake up seconds later feeling tingly. Probably killed many braincells. I would be scared to death if I caught my child doing something this stupid.

I have a guess of who's survey this is...

close enough.

Yes, when I was 11.

When I was little, that's how I would get my way. I wouldn't eat for days at a time, and since I was a sickly child anyway, I would usually pass out at the end of 3 days. My parents worried that I could do some long term damage, so they always gave in, and I always got what I wanted. I stopped when I hit my head and knocked myself unconscious at the age of seven!. I only had to do it once to learn my lesson.

yes, I've read some of the recent surveys in order to pass out.

I forgot Krishna.

Oh, yes. Mainly when I didn't want to wash dishes, but I think once or twice I got out of P.E. for it. I am a pretty good actress...I can also cry on cue. Now THAT has come in handy!

Yes....while masturbating

Yeah, back when I was about 13 or 14. We used to hyperventilate then give each other bear hugs. I used to be able to hold my breath in the pool for two minutes back then too. I wonder if that did anything to me?

What do you mean? How can you forget Krshna?

Yeah how could you forget Richard?

Just curious, how do you do that?

I tried to enjoy separately from Krishna, but due to Krishna's mercy I am remembering him!

Hare Krishna!

There is no such thing as being separate. I was glad you were helping people and being an example of compassion instead of advertising. It is Krshna you manifest by helping his reflection.

Wow! That's deep!

Hare Krishna!

I'm afraid I wouldn't feel right telling you...especially if you tried it and died...it is extremely dangerous and I do not recommend anyone try it. I'm sure if you do a search on the web you will find many many sources of information about techniques. I never told you to try it though, understand?

Don't worry, I am too chicken to try anything to make myself pass out. By the way, were you referring to autoerotic asphyxia? That is the only technique I have heard about but there might be others.

Hare Krishna!

What do you get out of that ? I pass out enough as is, I couldn't imagine wanting too, even during sex. And I actually do do so during masturbation lately, but I surely don't try.

yep

There are many people who do this because it's dangerous and adds an edge to the sexual experience. It is also extremely stupid to do if you are alone.

Ah, cheating death. I actually can relate to that one. I'm one of those persons who has been walking the edge of cliffs since I was born.

Hare Krishna!

I tried, but it didn't work.
My friend did, and I had to leave him alone on the grass so I could catch my train!

Tried and failed

If I'd been trying to do it on purpose, I'd have moved the coffee table out of the way so I wouldn't have cracked my head on it when I fell over.

Thankyou!

Hare Krishna!

I'm not much into church newsletters. It looked decent. Hare Krsha is one of my fonder flavors / sentiments / structures but I try not to discriminate any more than I would judge people for their architecture.

Like on 'Lost Highway'? No, you're still responding. I had a real sharp edged coffee table long ago at shin height and a cat named killer who would hook it's claws under my toe nails. Bad combo. Just as I say this one of my cat's destroyed a lotus bowl of mine.

Yes. With alcohol.

Ah, of course! Me too.
*changing votes*

Really, is there any other way?

OIC!

Hare Krishna!

Drugs

I couldn't sleep. It was the next best thing.

I've only passed out once in my life. It's not something I'd strive for the next time.

I've fainted twice before, but it is not something I would seek to repeat

What's it like?

tried/failed

Your eyes go all fuzzy, then black comes in from all sides. Then the next thing you know you're on the floor with a sore head. I've actually fainted three times now - its not fun.

oh

no necesarily but i have tried before..by trying to take 20 really deep breaths and by the time i got to the fiftheenth one i was almost about to pass out so i stopped.

Today just made myself faint before and its really weird because when u wake up its kinda back and fuzzy and everythings shaking.

I was at school in our tv room with some of my friends. 2 people told us about how this thing worked and I was the first to do it. So i pressed against the venders where i took twenty fast deep breaths and then jumped up and they pressed my chest very hard. For about twenty second i was thinking thins isnt working then finnally the strangest thing happend i woke up lying on the floor with all my mates grinning down at me. I did it again and in the corse of waking up i had terrible visions and nightmares and the said i was screaming saying dont kill me and according to them i was leaping up and dow and spazzing out. dont do it more then 1 time ever its not healthy !!!

I did about 3 hours ago, i was looking through how to and none worked, after all i didn't really want to i was just playing around.... until the 5th made me black out. I woke up strangely sitting on the floor cupping my bottom lip which (i think) i busted on my dresser, once was enough for me
