The final programme in The Dark Side of Modern Love examines asphyxiophilia, or 'breath control play', a practice involving asphyxiation that can deliver heightened sexual sensations, but can also result in death. The film features contributions from psychologists, sexologists and devotees of the most dangerous s*x game of all and follows the tragic consequences that can occur when it all goes wrong.
Death by S*x looks at the risks involved and how far-reaching the consequences can be for those who begin as loving partners and end up criminals. Steven is currently serving seven years for the manslaughter of a gay lover who crossed America to experience breath-control; Robbie has recently been released after serving a nine-year sentence following the death of his long-term lover; and Joseph's third wedding anniversary night ended in the death of his soul mate.
