    I want to get better at holding my breath. But I gotta be honest, it's because I want my partner to do ungodly things to my mouth for extended periods of time, any tips?

      I find actively trying to hold my breath just makes me think about needing to breathe more. I get the best mileage out of just relaxing all my muscles and clearing my mind. I doubt anyone can hold their breath long enough to get anything fun done under water though. Maybe see if they make snorkels for your nose?

      Swim lots of underwater laps, apply progressive overload. So more distance covered underwater with longer laps, more sets of laps, more laps itself. And never do it alone, don't want to drown.

      If that's an option where you live and have access to a pool and can swim

      Though you won't hit numbers like holding your breath for multiple minutes without years of training or pure oxygen beforehand.
