Per the British Medical Journal, we're playing with fire, folks: http://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7274

Sounds like another reason to have safe words. Asthma attacks aren't fun and hurt like hell.

Yeah well apparently you can get emphysema from taking a shit, based on that article too.

I have asthma and it's not a big deal. Just gotta be smart about how you play.

That made me laugh out loud, Annie. That's hilarious.

oh for fuck's sake... typical medical community 'research' shit... if it happened once, ever, in recorded history,within 20 yards of a person laughing, put it on the list. How fucking absurd.

I'm sure somebody laughed once and accidentally kicked somebody in the balls, so they need to add testicular rupture to the list.

Yep, I have asthma, too. And acid reflux. Never had an issue during tickling sessions or other play sessions. But it never hurts to forewarn your partner of any medical conditions in advance.

Some of these things can be solved by listening to your body, staying hydrated, having things you might need at hand (like an inhaler for asthmatics)and also communicating some issues you might have and let the tickler know. Just communicate and be safe.

Plus one.

And LOL at testicular rupture caused by laughter.
