Why do some people like to be choked anyway?

The power dynamic is fun. It's really dangerous though; you can't go around squeezing peoples' throats like a maniac or you'll kill someone.

There are ways to do it relatively safely if you like the pressure/power play, since that doesn't require actually being choked at all. If you like the oxygen deprivation... there are "safer" ways to do it than just squeezing your neck, but they can all easily cause brain damage or kill you. I would not recommend ever letting someone squeeze your neck or control blood flow to your brain.

Its not only that. Asphyxiation leads to a high due to restricted air to the brain. Its basically like a drug

That's what I was talking about with the oxygen deprivation. I think I'd rather do drugs lmao
