Did I miss an update where OP and her DH agreed no more choking? I only saw that he apologized and didn’t hear her say no. |
Ok, call it consensual strangling. |
Except it stopped being consensual when she said stop, and you are missing the point anytime a man puts his hands around your throat (strangling) it’s a huge red flag, it’s the number one prediction that abuse will eventually escalate to murder. As in the man with his hands around your throat is going to kill you one day, because he lacks brakes. And when I say that I mean there are men who abuse who know when to stop. They aren’t great guys, and should be in jail, but more than likely they won’t kill you, because they have brakes. Then there are the ones who will shoot you, and your kids, while sparing the dog and they are the ones who like to strangle. When she said no he didn’t stop, she has a man with bad brakes who wants to choke her for fun… yeah no thanks. No woman should ever put herself in that situation willingly, because it’s not that hard for a man to kill a woman with his bare hands. It frighteningly easy actually. Despite what your jujitsu instructor or the latest action movie with a female lead tells you. There are other ways to seek pleasure in life. Be wary of the man whose idea of fun involves fantasizing about killing you |
How long has been addicted to porn? |
Stop blaming porn because people enjoy things you don’t. |
Do you have children? if so borrow money from your parents and see a solid lawyer to file for divorce.
You have a brief window to file a domestic violence case against him now and they will give him a restraining order to stay away and in the meantime, make arrangements to pack up and locate elsewhere with guidance from your lawyer. Leverage the domestics violence report to keep him away from you and kids. Once things settle down, the courts will allow him access to kids and you all can finalize divorce. If you do NOT have kids, you are very lucky to be able to leave him asap. Do not stay one night in the house with him after dropping the bomb that you are leaving him. Prepare in advance. I’m sorry you are in this situation but you are alive and need to keep yourself alive. |
Page 3 “OP here. Thanks everyone. We spoke again this morning and I said there will be no more choking again period in any context. He was apologetic and said he has no problem with no longer doing it. I’m taking some time to myself to think all of this over.” |
This type of asphyxiation is supposed to heighten the pleasure of the person being strangled due to slight oxygen deprivation. OP never wanted it, wasn’t turned on by it, only agreed to it for her dh’s pleasure, and then became terrified and asked him to stop, but he was strangling her hard enough he couldn’t tell that she said stop. OP got no pleasure from it at all. When the only person who is turned on is the strangler, it’s not about enhancing sexual pleasure. It’s about the strangler acting out a violent fantasy. |
I started out thinking this could have been some sex play gone wrong but you have convinced me that OP needs to take a really close look at the entirety of her DH’s behavior. |
But your safe word is no good if you are oxygen deprived which happens very suddenly. It is irresponsible to promote choking as a sexual practice which is why, no, the BDSM “community” is no kind of good source for advice. at least you seem to authentically enjoy it but many women just go along to be “sex positive” or whatever. |
Please seek therapy. No one should "love" being choked. That is truly sick. People who want to choke = psychos. People who enjoy being choked = damaged. There is no rationalizing this disturbing behavior. FFS your post is so disturbing. |

You don't get to dictate what other people find enjoyable. And FYI calling someone damaged (which you don't if PP is) is victim blaming. |
Agree. I didn't know that it was even a thing. |
That's pretty judgement of you. Do you also hate all LGBT and other cultural norms? Think about that some. |
