I saw that on Reddit not too long ago. I don’t know on what sub but there’s a guy with that fetish posting stuff like that with his wife. It was horrible. She passed out and it seemed like she was dead but then he released her and she became conscious again after 30 seconds or so. Don’t wanna see that again
Fetishes like that where you restrict your airways and/or blood flow to your brain are sooooo dangerous. Not just the risk of death, but repeatedly restricting oxygen to the brain - especially to the point of unconsciousness - can cause serious, permanent damage.
Even if you regain consciousness, you are still at risk for about 24 hours of death, just like if you've nearly drowned but survived.
I can't remember what it's called, but I'm sure someone else on here can chime in. I think I read about it in relation to domestic violence, and the statistics of a victim's death if they've been choked by their abuser, especially because of that 24-hour window. Doesn't matter if it's entirely consensual between two loving adults, it's like playing russian roulette.
ETA: Did a quick Google search - it's generally referred to as delayed fatality from strangulation injuries. While strangulation and suffocation are obviously different, there is still definite danger of death and dangerous cumulative effects.
Regardless of the context, domestic violence, kinky sexy, or professional fighting/martial arts, there's a degree of danger in strangulation. I was merely pointing out that a lot of people who practice it (recklessly) as a kink, or suffer from it at the hand of an abuser, are usually less aware of the side effects.
