Is choking also becoming more of a thing in the gay community or is this just a straight thing?

I like being choked and often ask the top to do it. I don't feel assaulted by it.

I like choking the chicken does that count?

I've certainly choked on getting some really large cocks down, but I don't think that's what the article is about!

Horrible. I only love one man, and we're very gentle and playful with each other. I can't imagine this is a good thing. Men: be sweet. You'll have nothing to be ashamed of if you remain sweet.

Some guy messaged me on an app this morning and all he said was, "Will you choke me until I'm dead?" I opened his profile and there was no pic, just one line written under the interests category: "getting choked."

I blocked him.

Fabulous way to accidentally kill someone.

Has there actually been a case of someone being accidentally strangled during sex?

And the body being found and the choker prosecuted?

I don't get the appeal.

I’ve mesaages with a couple top guys on Grindr who are looking to choke a partner. Not my thing. Both came off as arrogant pricks doing the Alpha top pose.

Depriving the brain of oxygen supposedly heightens orgasm (hence, autoerotic asphyxiation), R8, but I don't think that's why straight people do it.

Control freaks are probably into doing this.

Breathing turns me on.

I have a female friend who (constantly over)shares and she's told me and, seemingly, everyone else she loves being degraded and choked during sex. Of course she's older and single because, even if she could find a decent straight man who is into her kink and otherwise not a drain on society, why would he (or anyone) want someone who has broadcast this kink to anyone who would listen (and many who would rather not have heard)?

If one wants beaten, called names and choked out for being 'naughty', wouldn't it be best to go through the specialized sites and apps?

R13, the retardization of the internet means that every mentally ill somebody like the woman you describe thinks it's okay to yammer on various newsgroups and forums demanding a partner for her kinks. And by extension, it's therefore okay to talk to everybody else about your most private moments aka oversharing.

I’m a straight woman and if someone were to choke me without permission or warning I would assume they were a serial killer and proceed accordingly. Meaning that if there was a knife handy, it would be in his back. There would be screams, there would be kicks to the groin, there would be thumbs in eye sockets, there would be biting, there would be police. That’s fucking terrifying and I’m saddened that any young woman would tolerate it. That said, I have no problem with rough sex with an established trusted partner.

My first college roommate and his friends used to get off on choking each other. I didn’t get it then and still don’t. And this was before Reagan was president.

Any bitch who randomly chokes me would leave my place minus a hand.

Poppers have a similar effect to choking and I suspect are far safer.

there have been multiple cases recently of men killing women and blaming it on 'play'

My straight female friend loves getting choked. Personally it freaks me out that she even told me she dose that. Apparently, she almost blacked out one time and felt totally fine about it since the guy doing it was a paramedic. She told me he was NOT OK with her passing out. In her mind all he had to do was resuscitate her if anything went wrong. He told her that just because he knows how does not mean he can bring her back. All this while her 5 year old daughter was in the other room.

I've seen this in a few gay porn videos where the top has a hand on the bottoms neck and chokes him but not to the point the bottom passes out.

I was just choked by a hookup yesterday. I didn’t ask for it.

I am the whore of babylon and have done everything, most of it didn't like, or found interesting once. It's all fetishism distracting from the communication between people. I will say ANY kind of choking involving rope, ties, hands, on the next - hate it. Really really hate it and I'm instantly turned off and usually the contact must stop instantly. Weirdly, I do love getting my throat stuffed with huge dick and even the guy holding me down on it. I've bog pretty good technique but I don't even mind a bit of choking in that act.

Miles knows what's required of him.
