[Sexual asphyxiophilia (Koczwarism)].
The author discusses the definition, history, anthropological data and sexual differences of a deviant sexual activity, asphyxiophilia (Kocwarism), the objective of which is stimulation or enhancement of sexual excitation or induction of orgasm by induced hypoxia. The author draws attention to the basic features which provide evidence of this life threatening and so far inadequately diagnosed sexual practice in both sexes, in particular in women. These features can be used in forensic psychiatry and sexuology and in forensic medicine.
