Here’s Why Couples Are Risking Lives By Getting Vacuumed Together

Quite literally suffocated with love.

Well, this is the weirdest fucking thing you are going to read today!

A Japanese photographer has found a creative way to capture couples' love, despite the deadly risk put upon his clients.

Hal Kawaguchi covers his victims clients in lube before putting them into a vacuum pack, sucking out all the oxygen and taking a picture.

Just like something out of a horror movie, the concept requires total trust - (let's hope that he Kawaguchi isn't bitter about love).

In case of the inevitable unlikely event of suffocation, the photographer ensures that a paramedic is on site at all times. Their assistance shouldn't be needed if all goes to plan as the photographer says that his clients need to hold their breath for all of about 10 seconds for him to get the shot.

Remarkably, Kawaguchi has received a flood of requests from couples all wanting a portrait of their shrunken bodies, reports the Sun.

"At first I chat with the couples and tell them what will happen," he explains. "A rehearsal is carried out without going into a bag at first. Then they climb into the bag. It's like assembling a puzzle."

Before placing his subjects into position, he covers them in lube - not just for pleasure, but also to provide a coolant gel to slide the couples inside the bags and to avoid any friction with the plastic against their skin.

Then, using a household vacuum cleaner, the air is sucked out and the subjects are squished together and the money shot is taken.

Surely it's only a matter of time before something goes horrifically wrong.

I'd rather be single.
