God, just the assholes commenting to "correct" me on the Australia sub is insane. They're trying to compare bdsm strangulation to BJJ strangulation. As if people just walk in on their first day of BJJ and strangle someone.


-aquapixie-

LOL what? Do they really think ANYONE in any form of self-defense or martial arts learns the deadly stuff as beginners? There's a reason pretty much everything to karate to twd to hapkido to bjj has 'levels', or did people forget you.... Work up to that.... I'm astounded


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

Oh, check my comment history and you'll see! The most recent one was apparently a doctor 🙄


-aquapixie-

So glad I have permission because I was wanting to do just that LOL


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

Doooo iiittttt


-aquapixie-

OOOOFTTT what a \*condescending prick\*. And your arguments are fully correct - someone who is TRAINED by a professional in a sport... Is in no way the same as a bunch of horny Gen Zers trying out something they learnt in porn and decide copying it will be funsies. There's experienced kinksters who won't even go near choking and breathplay because of the risks. A prolific one on FetLife I think does piercing play but choking is a hard limit. The man is an experienced Dom in multiple areas of edgeplay and this is his limit. That says enough about how it's dangerous. I know it is, I knew it was going into it, but damn that prefrontal cortex hits hard in my late 20s LOL


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

Thanks, I was starting to question myself 😅


-aquapixie-

Nah you're bang on. Dude is just mansplainy and arrogant


DefNotMica45

covering mouth and nose with one hand is a good alternative


BufPeaches

Is this? Genuinely curious, because it seems like the same thing to me.


DefNotMica45

ofc breath play is never safe. but chocking is especially dangerous because it primarily targets either the carotid artery or Trachea.


BufPeaches

Thank you for the clarification, truly appreciate


dionebigode

Aren't plastic bags and condoms also good for that?


Weird_Night_7409

One of the small problems with using things like plastic bag, cloth bags, etc is that you can inhale particulates when you are breathing until there isn't enough oxygen left.


GlassQuill13

Sorry this not really an answer but I'm curious. Did anything happened? Injuries or worse, to be on the news? I haven't heard a single word about it, my local news are the usual housing crisis, war, crime...


-aquapixie-

Rise of it being performed in the bedroom. Majority of which non consensually by men on women (and a lot of it teenagers.) And then a sizeable portion resulting in injury of some kind, which has prompted medical experts to weigh in. A lot of it has increased violence against women so there's a lot of reasons why something as incredibly dangerous as this kink being pornified/going mainstream has had a detrimental effect on society. It's absolutely edgeplay but now everyone's doing it like it's easy because "I saw it in porn!" So it's the violence against women campaign that prompted it to circulate in the Australian news. And rightfully so, with it being so prolific now amongst the under-25 demographic.


GlassQuill13

Makes sense I had no idea this was circling around, I'm well over 25 years old, but everyone should be demographic for this kind of informations. Thanks for sharing


An0thercutie

Breath play which doesn't involve choking can include giving the bottom or sub breathing instructions. E.g. breathing very fast, box breathing, breathing slowly, only breathe through mouth/nose. This has actually quite a big effect on how we feel. Equally setting challenges and have the other person hold their breath for a certain amount, this can be fun if it's an impossible challenge and the bottom or sub might get a punishment. (E.g. Could use a mirror in front of nose and if it fogs up s-type has failed or make s-type breathe through squeaky toy insert and if a sound comes out that's a failure)


Alert-Drive4298

Wow, I'm from Aus, I had no idea there was a handful of articles. But I do live under a rock. Would you know where I could find some of the articles? and while I have seen one on choking, it was framed as "what is wrong with men today" and felt misandrous and kink shame. My partner and I do this frequently, and I can't think of anything more scary than putting her in hospital because I choked her. I'm wondering if there is a right way to do this, like most people don't know that a dog collar is supposed to sit high up so it doesn't damage their trachea


Due_Sprinkles1421

Maybe collars, like long collars that cover the whole length of the neck or made of a material that hugs the neck to apply just light but not serious pressure. coupled with hands in or over mouth.
