I’ve been gooning for decades, but I’ve never seen this much choking in porn. It seems like most of the m/w videos eventually have the man’s hand on the woman’s neck. Usually it’s light, like he’s just checking a box.
When did choking become so popular?
Not even close to true.
Hypoxia is hypoxia. There is no way to redefine the concept of starving the central nervous system of oxygen.
How you achieve such state is open to imagination and that is a wide field of debate.
Returning to my previous point on holding your breath: it is possible. The amount of oxygen you can hold in the lungs is limited and the amount of time you can survive on it is also limited.
If the aim is to induce the rush coming from the oxygen starvation, one only needs to hold their breath while phisically exerting themselves, like tensioning the entire body.
There are reports on athletes reaching sensations close to sexual pleasure from this, like weight lifters, swimmers and runners. The body chemistry is complex but a probable cause may be the body mistaking the lack of oxygen with an imminent danger and triggering the release of a cocktail of endorphines to ease pain and ready the body for fight or flight, which is known and documented to elevate perception.
Tying this with hypoxia for sexual pleasure is not hard but I’m not about to share anecdotes or ideas on it and risk being accused of sharing harmful ideas.
I didn’t even oxygen starve myself, just the illusion that I’m helpless made me pretty aroused.
Just saying it is a thing.
