Choking

[human_wreckage]

My girlfriend really loves to be choked. It is near top of the list in terms of what gets her off. Is there anything unhealthy about it or any reason I shouldn't indulge her in that? Thanks in advance.

Whatever cranks her tractor!

Just be careful, don't go overboard with the choking.

When you cut down the flow of air to the brain it releases endorphins and that's what gets your girlfriend off. It's called erotic asphyxiation and while not rare, I don't think it's that common.

 

You have to be really careful as many people do die accidentally from it as they push the edge to get a bigger buzz.

 

I'm not going to tell you to do it or not to do it, but if you do then be incredibly careful, too strong a hold can damage the voice box or cause death.

Not a healthy practice. I had a friend of mine do 15 years of college.. JAIL TIME... becase he and is GF were high and he choked her. Didn't know his own strength. What made it worse was he "freaked" and dumped the body.

 

I wouldn't say this was a worth-while practice to get into ... no.

Eeep, this is actually VERY dangerous. You could crush her trachea, do major damage to her throat and vocal cords. You're also cutting off oxygen to the brain, which can cause gradual brain damage if you're doing this alot. It's very very very dangerous to cut off someone else's breathing, particularly if you're doing it during sex, when you're distracted and might not notice if she passes out, or shows other signs of distress. At the very least, if you're going to do this, make sure it's in a well lit area and you keep a phone near by to call for help if something happens.

 

Also, legally, this is tricky. It'd be a good idea to make sure that you get written, signed, and notarized (sp?) consent to this activity, just in case your grrrlfriend gets seriously injured/dies and you end up in court.

In my opinion I do not think it would be a good practice to indulge in the choking/asphyxia during sex. There are just too many risky possibilities of things that could happen.

 

I am sure you would never intentionally take it too far, but accidents and unintentional things sometimes happen no matter how careful we feel we are being. Use much caution if you proceed with this activity.

Learn how to do a blood choke, instead of air chokes. Blood chokes restrict blood to the brain, which does the same thing.

 

There is less chance of damaging the throat.

 

Even though it's embarrassing, I'd have your gf talk to a doctor and ask.

"Blood chokes" are just as dangerous as "air chokes".

 

Lack of blood to the brain=lack of oxygen to the brain, since blood carries oxygen=BAD.

Wow and I thought my foot fetish was kinky.

 

Why don't you make her eat some hot peppers. That releases endorphins and is much safer than choking.

Actually they are less dangerous because there is far less risk to the trachea and throat.

 

It's true, lack of oxygen to the brain is bad, but a blood choke is less dangerous.

Wait, we're kind of assuming she means choked as in completely cut off from air or blood.

 

Maybe she just likes being held by the neck / likes it rough?

 

My girlfriend likes to have her neck bitten/nibbled on but that doesnt mean she wants me to rip her jugular out with my canines o_O
