Medical play can be a lot of fun but it’s important to never forget the ‘play’ part. Making it too realistic can have deadly consequences as this story from Munich highlights.
Two professional dominatrices are currently facing trial at the Berlin Regional Court after a client died during a session at a BDSM studio in Charlottenburg. The incident, which occurred in April 2024, involves allegations of administering a local anesthetic that ultimately resulted in the man’s death.
The drug in question was Novocain aka Procaine. That’s typically what the dentist will give you to numb a tooth. It’s unclear from the article what exactly happened but – according to Wikipedia – an overdose can result in respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. Quite the price to pay to satisfy a kink.
If you’re going to inject anything, stick to a medical saline solution. And ideally do it with a domme who has some medical training.
