One less disk in the spine...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there, chief! Perhaps I'm analyzing this too much, but first off I think the gas mask is primarily for the image of asphixiation. It may not be the M40 I'm used to putting on, but it looks to me like there's no filter, which means the airway is clear as can be. Don't get me wrong, you can still get claustrophobic in one of those, but I cannot say that this is the worst example of an unsafe or dangerous fetish I've seen. I know of one particular fetish, although I don't know what it's called, where individuals will only climax while being on the brink of death. I know of a lieutenant who choked himself to death with a chain while masturbating. Not to sound judgmental about other people's deviancies/fetishes, but it's things like this that make me glad I like tickling. Sorry, I can't find this image overly offensive.
Now, in the other scenario that had been mentioned about a plastic bag over somebody's head, THAT disturbs me. But hey, to each his own as the saying goes. The backbone of this forum is only as strong as the open-mindedness of its members. If we wish to ever be accepted heavily into the mainstream, we must accept others, no matter how alien they may seem to us. I have a lot more I could say about the viewpoints expressed, but it'll just sound like me bitching and complaining about what I view as a narrow-minded opinion. It is not my position to say such things, for I am not a moderator. However, I will say this...
Toneus, if what you say is true, and you are leaving, know that you will be missed, and I wish you well.
