    Liking it doesn’t take away the risk. There’s a lot of things we do in life that have risk, but we still do them for various reasons.

    By all means, enjoy the thrill! But educate yourself and be aware that there is no completely safe way to choke or be choked. And of course always get consent.

      From what I’m reading there’s no “risk” involved: it’s just harmful. Risk implies it can be done without any harm, but harm is more likely than not. Smoking cigarettes isn’t risky behaviour it’s harmful behaviour.

      I believe their question was WHY do people enjoy it. Which I’m also curious about.

        My comment still stands. Some people like it, whether it’s because of porn or not, but it’s really important to know that it is never safe to do.

        I don’t think people do. The behaviour probably stems from a desire/need to satisfy their partner. Pavlovian conditioning probably plays a role too.
