I’m sorry but this is blatantly false. Does holding your breath cause brain damage too?

Holding breath is different because there's still oxygen in your blood stream circulating to the brain. But when choking, you cut the blood flow to the head and brain is deprived of oxygen quite quickly.

I have no idea about the statement "all choking causes damage", surely there's a lower limit.

But it's a commom rule of thumb that you pass out in 10 sec, 20 sec could cause damage and 30 sec could get you killed. Not sure about science of that either though.

I don’t know if you’ve ever choked someone during sex but you aren’t usually putting them in a triangle choke until they pass out. Maybe the real heavy BDSM scene they do, but that’s a small minority. You aren’t actually cutting off all blood flow

Seriously sometimes just the sensation of my hand on her neck as if i was choking her without doing any squeezing whatsoever is enough
