Calling the emergency number

I was wondering if anybody has ever called the emergency number during some kind of play session that went wrong.

In one case, I was playing with my girlfriend and I had given her a few slaps on her ass and suddenly she stopped responding. I could not tell if she was breathing or not. My best guess was that she was faking trouble to test me.

I then said to her, "I think you are faking but I do not want to take any chances, I am calling 911."

I then picked up the phone and started calling 911. She quickly stopped me and she told me that she was faking it. She also said I did the right thing.

I do not think it would have been okay if she let me call 911. Any comments?

I've never called 911 during a play session, but I would say in that situation, "Make the call. Better safe than sorry."

I usually end up calling 911 about once a year because I see something out on the highway or freeway that looks a little dangerous like a pipe or mattress or some other big object. When it is too dangerous for me to go out in the traffic to move the object, I call 911. Usually, I apologize and I say that I don't want to misuse 911 by calling about something that's not a real emergency, but every time I have said that, the agent has said that it is always best to call. It is better to call about something that wasn't a big emergency than it is to NOT call 911 and find out too late that you should have made the call when you could have.

If you have something life threatening, even in a play session, just call 911. They will tell you it's best to call, and not because they want to hear about your kinks in a play session, although they probably don't mind that side benefit.

@Vasbyt I have seen dangerous objects on a motorway before, here in UK we have 999 for emergencies but also 101 for non emergencies police so I called 101.

@BobFromNJ you did do the right thing in saying you thought she was faking but you did not want to take risks.

She did the right thing in stopping you.

If this was early on in your play relationship than it might just have been her way to test if she would be safe with you during an emergency.

Keep in mind, if you do call 911 and explain it was a mistake, the protocol is to dispatch police anyway to check for sure. I butt dialed 911 one time , spoke to the dispatcher and thought it was over. Five minutes later a police car pulls in my driveway.

And don't just hang up after calling. Article from 2000 about a dirty cop and how a 911 hang up was handled. I guess she was thinking how am I going to convince them I was raped by a cop. Was probably a landline.

@Secret-sub That's a brilliant way to separate emergencies from non-emergencies. The 911 operator has never said there is another number to call for non-emergencies.

I asked Google and Google says to call 311 for municipal services and non-emergency police/fire issues, and 211 for community service referrals like food and housing assistance.

It would be nice to have a non-emergency number in between towns.

Anyone involved in BDSM play should be prepared for emergency, especially dominants.

You should always:

- know your partner's medical issues like allergies, breathing or circulation issues,

- be prepared and equipped to free your partner from bondage or restraints quickly and effectively, have EMT shears for rope and latex tape, etc

- have first aid kit that actually contain sufficient supplies for dressing wounds,

- know how to do CPR and provide first aid,

- have working phone easy to reach in case you need to call 911.

I've changed the title of this thread so that it is not USA-centric.

Just another reminder that Zity.biz is not specifically an American forum.

Shaking my head over the fact that needs to be pointed out.

I have very nearly had this happen to me. This wasn't during a play session, but when I was in my first "relationship". We were having fairly vigorous sex and I suddenly realised that my blood sugar was dropping rapidly - I had my classic bad hypo(glycaemia) signs, so told her to pass me my lucosade. It seems that she was worried I was not recovering quickly enough and was about to call the emergency number when I suddenly became responsive again & told her not to. A close call for me - didn't want to waste their time & have to go through all their test to avoid a trip to A&E - but also reassuring that she would act if anything untoward did happen.

It's quite a common misunderstanding, unfortunately.
