So I had lunch with a good friend today and a really odd question came up that might be resolved by the forum. I personally am thrilled with my progress on the CPAP so I like to talk about the benefits. I had my eyes checked this morning and my vision actually improved a tiny bit! While these results might be because I have enough supplemental oxygen, I think it is a combination of rest and just better self-care. Anyway, by pure happenstance, my friend just had a sleep study, has OSA, ahi of 25 and was troubled by using a CPAP machine.

I tried to console him. I mentioned his wife will be totally supportive and that there is a ton of help available. And then I started breathing from my mouth because my jaw just dropped.

Oh, using the CPAP wasn’t the problem it was using the CPAP with a GIMP SUIT that was the problem. I don’t know if everyone understands what a gimp suit is, but is a modest, yet snug scuba suit that is used in sexual bondage play betwixt and between consenting adults. I think these contraptions are mostly rubberized or latex type material, but some can be quite fancy and patent pleather (still fake, but really shiny).

I promised I would post his problem, keeping his identity secret, and he’s going to watch for responses. Good Lord, don’t ask for a dang chart! He will not create an account for this question and he hasn’t even got the machine yet.

Does anyone have experience with this? Even if it is a "friend" that tried it?


This is what I think will happen.
And yes this is what I told him.

The head or mask portion of the gimp suit varies by user preferences and I think these are custom made? Like I said, I don’t know anything about this stuff and how it would work.

Does this mean I'm off the Pho list?

Any help is appreciated!
