When I was in the kink community breath control was a big no-no. There’s a significant enough risk of putting your partner in shock, and in the 1990s police were not very understanding of death by heavy erotic play.
Of course the US may currently be in the stage Russia was in 2011 (and still is) of YOLO high-risk selfies.
Most people that I’ve met as well as myself and my partners don’t actually do breath play of any variety. Just firm pressure applied to the sides of the neck, to reduce risk slightly. I understand it’s still not a completely safe activity, but we’re all consenting adults.
