@Kurou It's not the "cutting off your air" part of choking that those into BDSM are into. It's more the "cutting off the blood supply to your brain, so you get that euphoric rush" part of choking that's so appealing. Frequently done through simple thumbs against your carotid arteries. Should NEVER be done by somebody who doesn't know damned well what they're doing, and just how long you can hold your thumbs for. That's where most of the problems come from--people holding on too long, or pinching the wrong spot.
