Choking

In the context of BDSM, choking is a component of the breath control exercise. By exerting pressure on the blood-rich carotid arteries, the procedure restricts breathing and the brain's blood flow. Choking is most frequently performed using bare hands, a choke hold, which involves bringing the forearm to the throat, or a prop like a scarf or piece of rope.

More About Choking

Since choking restricts or completely stops a person's air supply, it is regarded as edge play. It could seriously and irreversibly harm the larynx and carotid arteries. In extreme circumstances, it may potentially result in death, either directly or through the induction of a heart attack. While there are safer ways to choke someone, there isn't a totally secure method. Some people still choke in order to get a sexual high in spite of this.

Since it serves to establish their partner's authority over them further, many submissive people take pleasure in being strangled. They also take pleasure in the dizziness that results from choking.

According to experts, the best technique to choke someone is to put pressure on the carotid arteries on either side of the neck instead of the windpipe. From the heart, these arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain. When these arteries are compressed, the brain produces a dizzy, euphoric sensation that heightens all sensations because it loses oxygen and builds up carbon dioxide. After experiencing these sensations for three to five seconds, the individual who is being choked will faint.

Choking is never to be done alone because of the extremely high hazards. Even if they choke their partner, they should know how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Never attempt to choke a partner until they faint if you are not already highly skilled at the technique. Prior to, during, and following choking, communication is essential. It's a good idea to have a safe action to use if the person being choked feels uncomfortable because they won't be able to speak through their mouth.
