Subject: Auto-erotic asphyxiation (new term?)

   Is "auto-erotic asphyxiation" a new term?
   INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence died. Today's NY Post (pg. 16, col.
1) has this:

   Cops initally called it a suicide, but now say the death might have been
caused when an act known as "auto-erotic asphyxiation" backfired.
   Auto-erotic asphyxiation is a dangerous way of enhancing sexual
gratification that involves masturbating while cutting off the air supply,
often by hanging. (Kids, don't try this at home--ed.)
   "Several friends of (Hutchence) have suggested that he has been involved
in kinky sex over the years, and so we are exploring the possibility it is an
auto-erotic death," a police source told The Post.

   What a concept. "Auto-erotic asphyxiation."
   Sounds like someone who is deathly in love with a car.
