A highly successful advertising executive died a bizarre and painful death in a dank underground water tank when his elaborate bondage act went wrong, an inquest was told yesterday.
Christopher Martin, 48, who resurrected the Ovalteenies in the 1970s and helped found the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency, was a very highly respected copywriter. Mr Martin also created a series of adverts for Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons in which celebrities including Felicity Kendall read children's stories. He lived with his wife, Janet, and their three children in a converted barn in the village of Steep, Hampshire.
"But," said the county coroner James Kenroy, "it transpires that this apparently normal and successful family man had his own Achilles' heel."
This "vulnerability", as Mr Kenroy put it, was his lust for high-risk erotic adventure. On the evening of 26 July, Mr Martin returned home early from work. Colleagues on his train that evening said he was in good spirits.
After a telephone conversation with his wife, who was away on holiday with the children, Mr Martin stripped down to his boxer shorts and began constructing his intricate bondage rigging.
Detective Superintendent Andrew Longman, who led the investigation into his death, told the inquest that Mr Martin first attached a rope to his garden roller near the back wall of his house. He placed a stick in front of it as a prop to stop it moving forward and then fed the rope 9ft across the lawn to the entrance of the underground tank.
He then tied his ankles together and descended the ladder into the gloom of the 10ft deep tank. The final stage of this bizarre incident was to tie - behind his back - the long rope from the roller to the one binding his ankles, and fashion a noose through which he slipped his wrists. Michael Lucas, a knot expert,told the inquest that it would have been possible for Mr Martin, an expert sailor, to have tied all the knots himself.
In this position, said Mr Lucas, with his hands and ankles tied behind his back and joined by the main rope leading out of the hole, Mr Martin would have been able to launch himself from the ladder, suspending himself face down in mid-air, 5ft above the water.
It was Mr Martin's plan for the roller to hold his weight but that is when tragedy struck, the inquest heard.
The stick propping up the roller was dislodged, the roller moved across the lawn towards the entrance to the tank, lowering Mr Martin's body to the bottom of the chamber and plunging his face under the water.
Mr Kenroy said despite the water being only 6 inches deep, Mr Martin could have splashed and struggled for up to 16 and a half hours, trying to free himself and unable to reach the ladder.His cries for help, distorted by the acoustics of the tank, were interpreted by neighbours as the lowing of cows. As his strength waned and he found it increasingly difficult to keep his head above water, he slowly drowned.
The inquest also heard this was not the first time Mr Martin had tried bondage. Frank Harris, a neighbour of his 20 years ago, when he lived in Petersfield, Hampshire, heard him crying for help one night. Breaking into his cottage, he found Mr Martin dangling from the beams of his attic, his wrists and ankles tied.
Det Supt Longman added that when Mr Martin's body was found by his brother, Colin, on the evening of 27 July, there were two other ropes slung over beams in the house, one tied in a noose, suggesting he could have tried the bondage act there first. Recording a verdict of death by misadventure, ruling out suicide, Mr Kenroy said: "It is a tragedy that the deceased got himself into."

There are many temptations to organize our life around the experience of earlier trauma. But that may short-change the future—which starts by our envisioning something better.

Following a previous post I wrote on psychrocism and sexual arousal from ice, it got me wondering what other sexual behaviors might involve water. In a comprehensive list of paraphilias in the books Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices (by Anil Aggrawal) and the Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices (by Brenda Love), a number of water-related paraphilias and sexual behaviors were listed. The list included:
In her sex encyclopedia, Brenda Love has a section devoted to having sex in and/or under water (i.e., coitus à unda) and can include masturbation , oral sex, and/or penetrative sex in any number of water-based situations (e.g., bath, shower, swimming pool, lake, ocean, etc.). She also says that such activities can include fellatio where the partner holds hot water in his or her mouth. She also highlights a number of other activities that come under the generic banner of "water sex." These include:
She also claims that Tiberius Caesar had a passion for aquatic sex. She claims Caesar trained young boys (that he called "minnows") to swim after him and come up from below to nibble and suck on his genitals. Other cultures aren’t so liberal. For instance, Aggrawal notes that in Hinduism—and according to the ‘Laws of Manu’ (i.e., the words of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation—" A man who has committed a bestial crime , or an unnatural crime with a female, or has had intercourse in water, or with a menstruating woman shall perform a Samtapana Krikkhra” (i.e., a 24-hour fast where no food can be consumed whatsoever).
Other psychologists and scientists (e.g., Viren Swami and Adrian Furnham in their book The Psychology of Physical Attraction ; Katherine Ramsland and Patrick McGrain in their book Inside the Minds of Sexual Predators ) define aquaphilia (like Dr. Aggrawal and Dr. Love) as a form of sexual fetishism that involves sex in (or under) water but extends the definition to include images of people swimming or posing underwater. According to Wikipedia , the term "aquaphile" was “first used by Phil Bolton, when he created the ‘Aquaphiles Journal’ — an online magazine for followers of the underwater erotica scene published in the 1990s”.
Another more unusual water-related paraphilia is hypoxia. Autoerotic asphyxiates use a variety of methods to restrict their oxygen supply including partial hanging, the use of plastic bags or masks over the face, chest compression, and submerging under water (known in the clinical and forensic literature as “aqua eroticum”). Reports of water-related hypoxyphilic deaths are exceedingly rare but have been documented.
The term "aqua-eroticism" was first used in a 1984 paper—in the journal Medicine, Science and the Law —by S. Sivaloganathan. However, the use of the term here solely related to hypoxyphilia (i.e.. autoerotic asphyxiation). While there have been hundreds of papers and articles about hypoxyphilia, to my knowledge only two papers have been published involving submersion under water. These very rare occurrences have come to light when things have gone drastically wrong (i.e., death for the person engaging in the activity). As with hypoxyphilic activity more generally, underwater submersion while holding one's breath produces the same effects of oxygen deprivation via other methods (e.g., hanging, self-strangulation).
In the case documented by Sivaloganathan, a man was found drowned with a stone tied to his ankle (to weigh him down in the water). He was also assumed to have transvestite tendencies as he found dressed in women’s clothes. It was assumed to be an example of autoerotic asphyxia given that it seemed to be a very peculiar way to be swimming or committing suicide . The act of swimming in the opposite sex’s clothes with a weight tied to the leg also had many key features of deliberately induced danger as a method of increasing the arousal level. There is always the possibility that other similar types of incidents may have occurred but have been labeled as suicide rather than death by misadventure.
The second case in the academic literature was reported by A. Sauvageau and S. Racette in the Journal of Forensic Sciences . Here, the evidence for autoerotic asphyxiation was more clear cut. During the summer, a man aged 25 years was found dead in a lake, submerged underneath his boat. Despite being the height of summer, he was wearing a hockey helmet, a snowmobile suit, and ski boots. However, underneath these clothes, he was found to be wearing a self-constructed plastic bodysuit over his naked body from head to toe with a separate plastic tube wrapped around his genitals. Furthermore, there were clear bondage elements. Around his wrists, ankles, knees, and waist he was tightly bound in a mixture of mesh and chains (all of which were padlocked to his groin). The only air supply was a black tube joined to his mouth and sealed to the suit by silicone. The man’s air supply system comprised an open plastic container floating on the lake to his mouth.
Although such elaborate bondage suggests a second party may have been involved, the crime scene investigators established that the man could have put on the harness. The victim’s clothing and water submersion appeared to facilitate a masochistic scenario. The investigation also established that the dead man had been an active member of an online hypoxyphiliac website. The authors noted:
“The victim was found completely submerged, with an air tube running from his mouth to a floating plastic container. However, he'd apparently miscalculated, using a tube too narrow for both the intake and expulsion of air. Rather than giving him the right degree of hypoxia for a heightened erotic experience, his air supply was significantly fouled with carbon dioxide, killing him”.
The coroner ruled the death as accidental (i.e., autoerotic asphyxia from re-breathing, caused by the faulty self-constructed air-supply device). Clearly this latter case has overlaps with sadomasochism and bondage. In fact, there are dedicated websites for "water bondage" (where women are gagged and bound and submerged into “helpless submission”).
The only other sexually related water fetish or paraphilia that I have come across is liquidophilia. Various online articles (such as the not-so-imaginatively-titled Dirty Mag website) mention this behavior and all define it as a paraphilia in which individuals derive sexual pleasure and arousal from immersing their genitals in some kind of liquid. Although most liquidophiles use water (e.g., taking a bath would be highly erotic for such people), any liquid can apparently be used. It has also been claimed that some liquidophiles have a preference for liquids that resemble bodily secretions (e.g., milk).
