A member asked:

Anything wrong with holding my breath during masturbation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're fine: Different people enjoy different things. What you must not do is think that you have to punish yourself for being sexual, or start acting out scenarios with ropes around your neck or gags in your mouth. This can kill you. Enjoy yourself safely, whether you're alone or with others.
