Mental health risks of sexual choking. Being frequently choked by your sexual partner may cause mental health issues such as depression, mood disorders, and problems with mental skills, research shows. The highest risk was found in women choked more than five times in the past month. They were more likely to feel sad, lonely, anxious, and depressed, compared to women without a history of being choked as part of sex.

Complications of choking during sex. The act of sexual choking can cause physical and mental injuries, and even death. During and after sexual choking, you may have:

Trouble breathing
Pain or a hard time swallowing
Ringing in your ears
Dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Loss of bladder control
Memory problems
Depression
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Your voice may change as a result of choking and become huskier, or you may lose your voice. You may also have neck pain or tenderness after sexual choking.

Over time, you may notice you have memory loss, or gaps in your memory. You might develop PTSD or depression. 

The pressure on your neck during sexual choking can damage blood vessels, which can affect how much oxygen can get to your brain. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes brain damage or death. This damage can happen right away, or it may take weeks or months to appear. 

If sexual choking tears or causes a clot in the blood vessels in your neck, you can have a stroke, which could be fatal. Pressure on your neck can also damage your thyroid.

Choking is claimed to be incredibly deadly and risky. It’s also shown to be very common. We are constantly told that people don’t know how to choke safely and do it in unsafe ways constantly, and are told there are no safe ways to do it. Where are the bodies then? If is incredibly dangerous, incredibly common, and practiced in very unsafe ways, everyone in kink communities, and even outside of them would know people who had been hurt or killed…. I’ve never met anyone who has ever known someone personally who was killed or seriously injured by consensual partner choking. Autoerotic asphyxiation? Definitely incredibly high risk and dangerous, lots of people died from that. There are bodies.

Unraveling the Secrets: An Exciting Dive into Affairs with Married Men

The first time I set eyes on him, I knew it was going to be a wild ride. There he was, a dashing figure in a crisp white shirt and tailored suit, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He was married, of course, but that only added to the thrill. Little did I know that our affair would become a whirlwind of passion, betrayal, and secrets that would leave me breathless.

A Forbidden Love

Our first encounter was in the dimly lit corner of a trendy bar. He leaned in close, his voice a low whisper in my ear. "I can't believe we're doing this," he said, his breath hot against my skin. "But I can't resist you." And so began our clandestine affair, a forbidden love that we could never fully embrace.

The Highs and Lows

The thrill of our secret rendezvous was intoxicating. Every stolen kiss, every furtive touch, every stolen moment felt like a daring escape from the ordinary. But as the weeks turned into months, the highs began to fade, replaced by the lows of guilt and paranoia. The thought of being discovered sent shivers down my spine, but I couldn't resist the allure of our forbidden love.

A Web of Lies

To keep our affair hidden, we spun a web of lies. We concocted stories about late nights at the office, fake business trips, and even an imaginary girlfriend for him. But the lies began to pile up, and I could feel the weight of them crushing me. The more we tried to hide our affair, the more exposed we felt.

The Tipping Point

The tipping point came one fateful night when we were caught in a compromising position by his wife. Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief, while his face turned a crimson shade of red. It was in that moment that I realized the full extent of the consequences of our affair.

The Aftermath

The fallout from our affair was devastating. Our secret world came crashing down around us, leaving a trail of broken hearts and shattered dreams in its wake. He disappeared, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart. I vowed never to get involved in another affair with a married man, but the allure of forbidden love remained strong.

The Enduring Mystery

Years later, I still find myself pondering the mystery of our affair. Why did we risk everything for a love that could never be? What was it about the forbidden that made it so enticing? And most importantly, what did I learn from our dangerous liaison? The answer, I believe, lies in the intoxicating allure of the unknown, the thrill of living on the edge, and the unyielding power of love.
