In recent years, there has been an increase in conversation about choking during sex.

While it is not a practice that everyone finds enjoyable, others find it to be a very sensual and erotic experience. Choking should only be done with the full and informed consent of both partners, it is crucial to remember that safety and consent are key in any sexual experience.

One reason that some people find choking to be an enjoyable addition to their sexual activities is the sense of vulnerability and surrender that it can create. The physical sensation of restriction that choking can provide can increase blood flow to the brain, intensifying the sensations of pleasure during sex.

This can be especially enjoyable for those seeking a more powerful and intense sexual experience. Another reason that some people may enjoy choking is the power dynamic it can create between partners.

Choking can be a way for one partner to give up control and become submissive, or alternatively, it can be a way for one partner to exert dominance and control over the other.

The power dynamic created by choking can be an exciting and arousing experience for those who enjoy it. It is important to note that choking during sex can carry risks if not done properly.

These include the risk of choking, suffocation, or injury to the throat or neck. Therefore, it is crucial to educate oneself on proper techniques and safety measures, such as using safe words and establishing clear boundaries before engaging in any sexual activity involving choking.

It is also worth noting that choking during sex doesn’t necessarily involve cutting off the air supply completely. In fact, many people who enjoy choking prefer a gentler form of choking, such as applying pressure to the sides of the neck or chest.

How to choke safely during sex

1. Communicate with your partner before engaging in choking. Discuss boundaries and establish a safe word to indicate when it’s time to stop.

2. Use proper technique. Avoid putting pressure on the front of the neck and instead place pressure on the sides of the neck or chest.

3. Be mindful of your partner’s breathing. Check-in frequently during the experience and stop immediately if your partner is gasping or struggling to breathe.
