    The study didn’t test that men did it more or not. They just asserted it without data to back it up

      I’m not sure which study you’re talking about but I guess the article states it as a fact because it’s a well known… fact. What I found in 5 minutes:

      Study from Australia: less 10% of autoerotic neck compression deaths were women.

      Study from Italy: 10% of deaths were women

      Study from US: men consistently exhibited higher mortality rates than women

        That only proves that men are more likely to die that way. Which does infer that men are more likely to do it, but it certainly isn’t definitive.

        It’s not even a hard thing to demonstrate. Just needs a statistically significant sample size and a questionnaire. It would be pretty wild if it correlated to where women were just better at not accidentally killing themselves.

        Also the study did not do a good job at demonstrating that auto-erotic affixiation and affixiation on a partner correlated. That was another assumption made. I’m talking about the study you’ve been talking about in this thread
