Experts are sounding the alarm: there is no safe way to strangle someone, but Porn has made this practice "the norm." Currently, choking during sex is considered the second most common cause of stroke among people under 40 in Britain. According to this writes The Guardian. No matter how much we might want to sugarcoat this with a “kink-friendly” label, the facts are still as stiff as a neck after a botched BDSM session.
We’re talking about that very “choking” phenomenon. Doctors remind us that the neck is fragile—the jugular vein can be compressed more easily than a can of soda can be opened. Hypoxia can cause seizures, stroke, depression, and even death. Tutorials are making the rounds on social media "How to stay safe," but that's fake news.
Scientists proved, that strangulation in time sex harms brain. No, this isn't a joke—they specifically studied people who engage in asphyxiation for pleasure. Even if your partner “knows the right way” (spoiler: no, they don’t), the risks remain:
- Hypoxia
- Seizures
- Memory Problems
- Depression and Anxiety
- And sometimes, literally, death
In short, the study showed that partners who are choked during sex have elevated levels of a certain protein in their blood S100B. This is a protein that normally resides inside brain cells, but begins to leak into the bloodstream when astrocytes or is disrupted blood-brain barrier. This effect can occur as a result of traumatic brain injury, strokes, stress, hypoxia, etc.
We are not moralists. Do you like it? Here you go. Just be aware of what you're really risking. No TikTok guru will tell you that after being constantly overwhelmed, your brain might end up functioning like an iron on vacation.
And if you really can't resist—at least no more than once a month. Yeah, it sounds like a weird schedule for a fetish, but you only have one brain. Porn, on the other hand—there are millions of it.
Want a thrill? Go skydiving. Have sex like it's the end of the world—but without the chokeholds from *Mortal Kombat*. Because the phrase "was overwhelmed with delight" After all, it shouldn't be a diagnosis.
The Doberman warns: Kink isn't a crime, but it's no reason to turn on "UFC mode" in the bedroom. You're real people, not actors. And even actors go to the doctor afterward.
