TIL: When people refer to choking during sex, it’s actually choking.
I thought it was just called that way, in a similar way to “choker” being a close-fitting necklace, just lightly pinning down someone by their neck. Not strangulation.
Yeah, I’m somewhat experienced in kink irl (been pretty involved in scenes for most of my adult life and have been an edge player in some form for a lot of it) and choking is way more dangerous than people think. People will point to blood choking (squeezing the arteries at the side of the neck) or air deprivation as the “safe” way to do it, and yes, they’re safer than windpipe choking, but any time you are depriving a brain of fresh oxygen to the point it’s noticeable there is a chance it will cause permanent damage. For anyone who’s interested in learning more Jay Wiseman is the traditional go to on this specific topic.
Your body, your life, your decision what risks you take, but personally it’s the only kink that the more I’ve learned about safety regarding it the less willing to take part in it I’ve been.

Some people definitely want just like a hand necklace, gentle, no pressure. A LOT of people want to actually asphyxiate. My wife, for example.
This distinction has caused much confusion. Safer to assume the first option.
Btw you should tipi your hand a bit so they dont like, actually die. Were here to have fun and all.
Don’t assume anything and just ask. It’s very sexy to ask.
That can also cause damage, just FYI. There’s a lot of invisible damage that can happen to the delicate tissues of the neck and throat.
