Choking During Sex Is Becoming Mainstream, But It’s Not Safe
Choking During Sex Is Never Safe
While we in no way want to shame anyone’s sexual proclivities, it is extremely important that people know: there is no risk-free way to engage in erotic asphyxiation. And risks include:
- Delayed stroke
- Memory loss
- Brain damage
- Death
Even though there are entire BDSM classes dedicated to teaching “safe” erotic choking, what they promise is a lie. One active member of the BDSM community explained in the Psychology Today piece that there are plenty of sex dungeons that prohibit choking in any way, because of the liability issues.
Even if there are people and organizations that promise they can teach you how to practice choking during sex safely, there is no way to eliminate the risks of this kink.
