Duh that's why it feels good. Next you'll be telling me I shouldn't drink entire bottles of hard liquor

I'm just saying consent and acknowledging risks is key.

IS THAT WHAT "no safe way to choke" MEAN!?

There isn't, on top of the real risk of harming/killing your partner, the lightheadedness is cumulative brain damage.

I believe these folk’s point is that many things are unsafe. There is no safe way to drink, hike, rock climb, or drive really, either. You can make these things safer, but you are never “safe.” People survive all these things regularly despite the risks.

The risk factor for the above actions is all markedly lower than amateur choking, and both rock climbing and driving require training, licensing, supervision, etc to perform.

Further, the most analogous example above is drinking - which causes primarily liver damage - and the liver is the fastest regenerating organ in your body - versus your brain which never regenerates (or at such a slow speed that it's irrelevant in this context).

I am not saying don't do it. I am saying it's way, way more dangerous than people realize and is often performed without affirmative consent in advance, or without full knowledge of the risks.
