• This article presents two cases of autoerotic death involving asphyxiophilia in which the victims were from the lower levels of society. This is in apparent contradiction to the previously assumed theory that such sexual deviations were mostly practiced by people from the more affluent classes of society. An analysis of these two cases demonstrates that such practices are not only the domain of privileged members of society and that the previous assumption is probably now outdated.
