I love Russia's rage about this so much.

(I don't mean to be a downer, but could you make some type of warning that choking as a sex aid in real life is very dangerous? Obviously, you guys intend well-informed adults to be reading this, but you are posting it in a public community online so kids might read it. They might not know that this is not the kind of thing that's harmless.)

I think erotic asphyxiation counts as a Risk Aware Consensual Kink. It goes without saying that it carries a health risk, much like, I don't know, fucking/fellating a live pistol? ;)

I think the main difference between those is that fellating a live pistol is pretty obviously dangerous but lots of teenagers don't see the obvious dangers of depriving your brain of oxygen for a while. Plus, there were warnings in those chapters if I recall correctly.

I think I might be paranoid because I learned that middle class American kids have begun accidentally choking themselves because they don't see the difference between choking and holding your breath.

We warned on this chapter, too! Both headers on the comms were clearly marked. But the warnings for those chapters are always to alert the reader as to what is coming in the chapter, not to tell them not to try this at home. I understand your concern, but we don't think that it's our responsibility to add safety tags to our chapters, as though they're episodes of Mythbusters. We label because we don't want to offend, and that's it. It would be like asking a filmmaker to add a "this is inadvisable in real life" message to the end of a superhero movie. It's not his job to make sure that people don't go running around trying to be Batman.

(Also, I finished being a middle-class American teenager about a month ago, and while I can't speak for everyone, I'm pretty sure that the kids who can't tell the difference between choking and holding their breath weren't going to make it long anyway.)

-melts into goo-

I think that was the best description of breath play... ever... Then again, I havent read all too much. But I certainly will starting now. XD

And oh Russia, dear. I find it so funny when he gets all hot and bothered about his favorite games/sports.

Breathplay has always been one of our biggest R/A kinks. We're glad we could spread the love. *grin*

Russia getting worked up about figure skating is probably my favorite.

Mmmmmmmm~

no communist propaganda in the bedroom rule

Repeating everyone's sentiments about that: Hee. ♥ And I'm curious, if this is how Russia reacts to losing at chess, how you two think it's gonna go down after the 1980 Winter Olympics and a certain hockey game. If you're not planning anything on it, anyway. It's like, my only piece of knowledge on Cold War-era sports ._.

Chess was a way bigger deal in the Soviet Union than hockey! It's no joke to say that it was seen as an embodiment of Marxist-Leninist ideology. Where the US just saw the 1972 World Championship an opportunity to beat the Soviets at a traditionally Soviet-dominated sport, in the USSR it was portrayed as a battle between capitalist ideology and communism. The way a lot of people figure it, that actually gave Fischer an advantage in the tournament. Spassky had to deal with the pressure of representing his country's entire system, and if he failed, Lenin failed. Fischer could just play chess.

Edit: Also it bears mentioning that Fischer was completely fucking crazy and probably wouldn't have noticed the pressure of representing capitalism even if he had.

Hahaha, I think I learned more about chess in writing this than I have in my whole life! And just like America, I've already forgotten most of it. XD

Oh geez god goodness gracious OH MAN. FUCK.

This is what you guys bring me to man, swearing on the internet. With your endless quotable lines that I can't actually quote irl because a) most of them wouldn't make much sense out of context and b) lines like this "--You are not gonna start in on that whole 'chess is the embodiment of the Marxist-Leninist system' with me, because, okay, there is a no communist propaganda in the bedroom rule, starting right now--" which are dirty no matter the context. xD

I really wanna see that Checkers rematch. And also, I somehow I get the feeling America is gonna be learning more about chess in the near future (for them anyways). ;)

I like how this sort of escalated.

Oh God, wouldn't that be fabulous? Any time Russia is angry at America now, he teaches him chess. America might even be downright mediocre at it, by the present day! XD

Hehehe I swear (pun intended :D) you guys just get to me. I rarely swear irl OR on the internet. You guys are like a disease. A sexy, sexy disease that causes people to spazz and get weird looks from their friends/family/roommates xD
