Heavy rubber and rebreather bags

Rebreather bags: Rebreathing or suffocation involves breathing into an airtight reservoir so that the amount of oxygen in the air gradually decreases. Purpose made fetish devices include breathing tubes linked to valved rebreather bladders as used in anesthesia. As far as I know rebreather bags have been until recently an almost exclusively male thing. In the image above the harness is to catch the fetishist if he collapses from lack of oxygen. Shelly’s husband can get off through partial suffocation and takes his heavy rubber enclosure suit and rebreather bag with him on business trips. Here in Vegas rebreather bags used with gasmasks have recently caught on with untrained teen girls with the sad but expected attendant spike in fatalities and brain dead girls. It’s gotten so bad that I was asked to teach (and recently added) rebreather bag safety to my Contemporary Sexual Health class at St Lucy’s because they are so easy to obtain and have become so popular to use.

A dangerous application: One really scary application of latex rebreather bags is their use attached to properly fitted and sealed gasmasks worn underwater. Latex bags bought in secondhand stores may not be up to the pressure stress on old age-hardened latex and the latex will tear flooding the bag and mask which when the wearer is semiconscious from lack of oxygen, can cause them to drown. Or the bag will hold and the girl will pass out from breathing her own carbon dioxide and suffocate during sex.

Rebreather bag safety: St Lucy’s needed to answer the question of whether it was best to ignore the increasing interest of young women in using rebreather bags because their use can be dangerous, or to teach them how to use a fetish rebreather safely. I am proud that St Lucy’s administration came down on the side of educating the students to know the dangers if they do decide to use rebreather bags in sex-play. I teach my St Lucy’s students to use only new anesthesia rebreather bags purchased from reputable merchants and use gasmasks with new stretchy latex or silicone seals. I teach how to use the valve end to allow air into the bag before the wearer passes out and I strongly caution against using a gasmask under water because it isn’t designed to protect the wearer from drowning. The pressure can distort the mask which will break the seal allowing the mask to flood. At best it is a very unsafe arrangement even for shallow depth submerged sex-play. If a rebreather is used underwater a bag harness should be used – a snug strap worn just under the ribs and fastened to the control valve end - to keep the bag from acting like a flotation bladder and pulling the mask off the divers face. That way the wearer can use both hands to engage her partner. My casino’s bondage boutique, Fasteners, sells anesthesia rebreather bags with open/closed tail cocks that come with the hard to find 40mm NATO gasmask adaptor as a set.

Black latex cervical barriers: For rubber-chicks our clinic’s ‘Domme’ line of shiny black latex cervical barriers (made by Gepetto’s custom latex shop) to complement a girls rubber fetishwear, has been hugely popular since its introduction three weeks ago. Latex it is not as long lasting as silicone but for a rubber-chick that is not a problem because when her rubberstud finds he will be thrusting into the shiny black latex membrane protecting her cervix it’s as though he took double Viagra. A lot of serious rubber-chicks are buying several diaphragms so they can give their boyfriends one to play with when they are out of town. Another nice thing about black latex is that it hides the discoloration that normally occurs after several months use from latex barriers being immersed in a woman’s reproductive tract fluids.

  1. I have a question about the "rebreathers" you talk about in this article. When I think of "rebreather," I think of these little mouthpiece-style devices with two bulbs at each end, which allows someone to breathe underwater or in gas for a short period. Is that similar to what you all use out there in the Vegas fetish commmunity, or is it something of spy movies and sci-fi?

    The short answer is yes… Anything can be used as a rebreather bag, the simplest being a plastic laundry bag over the head, but that lacks ‘style’ for rubber fetishes. A longer lasting and much higher quality device is a rubber anesthesia rebreather bag that can be connected to a gasmask so there is rubber encasement as the fetishist consumes the oxygen in the bag. You can see a bag of this type connected through the red fitting to the mask in the image accompanying this entry. Rebreathers in the fetish community here are not (usually) the SCUBA ones that contain their own oxygen supply and are used for military stealth missions.

    I was wondering if those were one in the same. Thanks for clearing all that up.

  4. Thank you very much for all the information in this article. I have often wondered what rebreathing was about
    and am grateful to have found this source of information.
