I have never tried this exactly, but I've heard of it. Inadvertently, once it kind of happened by accident. I didn't like it because for a moment there I thought I might run out of air and actually die. I had a little panic moment when that happened. Basically the guy I was having sex with covered my mouth because we needed to be quiet and since he wasn't facing me, he didn't realize he was cutting off my air entirely...I had to hit my arms on the bed for him to get it. I was pretty pissed off about it because it was a scary feeling. What if he hadn't realized? What if he hadn't stopped? Not fun.
I guess if you trust the person and it's not done too heavily it may be good, but that little taste of lack of air supply I got that one time made me scared of putting myself in that situation because, even unwittingly, it's very easy and fast to go too far.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
