New Breathplay Hold Ideas

More instructions on how to breath like via an inflating and shrinking green balloon to guide a viewer how fast or slow to breath. That way its easy to create recovery phases with a limited/timed/calculated number of breaths.

Keeping the heart ballon, add a pulse to it that follows the beat. Optionally have it slide atop a bar at the bottom point of the heart to show duration but only a small one so its movement is minor.

if you're looking for minimal changes, i would suggest something simple, like only breathing through your nose, iirc you did this a long time ago in a joi and while i cant speak for others, it was def my favorite for a while

induckhunt

only breathing through a straw or something similar

Edging while holding breath is fun! Even further, you could try instructing us to hold near the edge for some time, without breathing that is quite an ordeal. Also multiple stages of despa~ I mean exhaling like suggested above. Even simplest physical activity like standing can make a short 2 minute hold seem like insurmountable challenge, but it can be dangerous because blacking out while sitting/lying is pretty safe, not so much while standing or doing something. I guess the same can be said about dildos, if one blocks breathing with it and then blacks out — now that's a bad ending.

Like a half filled balloon for filling them halfway, &/or changing how filled it is for whatever is needed for that hold 🤔

Maybe this can be accomplished with a smaller balloon beside or below it? To indicated if this is an optional breath? though maybe that would be too convoluted for people. A different color balloon with "optional" below it might work best especially if it is indicative of what ending you get. Or I can make some sort of life/heart system, like you only get 3 amount of cheat breaths that you can use whenever, and if you use more than 3 you get a bad ending.

Yeah I think that can be accomplished with a sequence of blue > pink >yellow> yellow > pink and swap the yellow with blue for empty

Soxxie Joy

maybe something like a partly exhale/inhale

Long empty holds with breaths in the middle (fill your lungs, empty your lungs, continue hold) though I'm not sure that warrants a new balloon. Like someone else said, maybe more specific instructions via text would be a good addition to the balloons when it makes sense

I think "optional breaths" could be fun. They would function a bit like the zebra balloons where you get to take one breath, except you can choose not to take it. At the beginning of the JOI you could stipulate some punishment we have to perform every time we take an optional breath, or there can be different endings depending on how many optional breaths we ended up taking during the JOI. What the consequences for taking an optional breath is can change depending on the JOI, but there should be some incentive to try and take as few of them as possible.

Honestly, i kinda feel like the balloon system itself is kinda limiting what you can do. Maybe you could try to do some text based instructions for breathplay, either by itself or as a supplement to the balloons. That way you wouldn't have to worry about a new balloon being too niche. But if you wanna stick to only balloons, i think adding a timer into some of them could be fun. Not knowing when you can breathe again is excitig of course, but knowing you have to endure x more seconds is too in my opinion. (Also this would allow you to mess with the timer by adding or subtracting, which is something i personally like that is rarely done in breathplay jois)

The facefuck idea sounds like a lot of fun! <3 Maybe there could be more to do during holds. For really long holds just trying to make it is distracting enough, but during shorter ones maybe worshiping a dildo or a fleshlight, or doing exercise like XA suggested, or self-spanking or slapping... Another possible addition would be the use of more objects, like a tight collar that makes breathing a little more intense, or tape or clothespins for the nose or mouth to simulate having them obstructed (by a hand, an ass, breasts...) As for the balloons, maybe there could be one that indicates that you must only take a little air when breathing in, instead of filling your lungs.

Pekomon

Yeah sounds logical to put it as an extra symbol, than you can combine it with empty holds and hyperventilation as well.

XA

A workout JOI session, pump those gains and your cock! But that sounds interesting in concept, might work better as a different symbol to go with a balloon rather than a balloon of it's own though.

Soxxie Joy

Maybe a Ballon where you have to do some exercises like sit-ups so it's harder to hold your breath, because when moving around you need air much faster?

XA

The depth thing sounds cool
