He wants me to try choking him?

Just kidding! Anyway, I don't really mind getting down and dirty. A little playful neck-grabbing... sounds good to me! But what's with the choking craze? Is it dangerous? What's so good about it?

I'm not sure what's so great about it because I'm not really into choking. I don't mind being grabbed or held down by the neck, but air cut off? No thank you. As far as I know, the choking can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

Cuts off bloodflow and if done right can intensify orgasm. Personally, I like it to an extent but too much of a good thing is a scary thing!!! I say this because I've had a partner not realize that there was a cut-off point and I passed out. It is only dangerous if the person squeezes too tightly, because "in the moment" sometimes you don't realize how much stronger you are than you think! Or, of course if you have a pre-existing health condition that this somehow triggers

There are some dangers in it.
If they press on the windpipe they cut of oxygen to the brain and body this can cause a person to pass out. There is also the chance that they could do damage from pressure if they are not careful.
There is a way to hold your hands in which the pressure on the windpipe is minimal, but it cuts off the blood supply. This can be dangerous as well but this is what I prefer as asphyxiation makes me spaz.

Some people do both.

Either way it can still be risky if you aren't careful.

I like "choking," which is probably more similar to what you refer to as "playful neck grabbing" except less playful? I like it to be *serious* but for the actual feel to be light. To feel restrained without feeling restricted, if that makes any sense. Being a little harder to breathe is totally fine, having to struggle for breath/actually choke is not my preference.

As far as popularity goes, I think it tends to just go along with other types of domination play. And because of the potential risk involved, even just touching that area or flirting with the idea of choking requires a good deal of trust and some degree of submission, which many people find sexy.

What I don't personally get are all the people who do this sort of thing with strangers and without thorough discussion. Like bloodplay, and perhaps even more so, choking and breath play can be EXTREMELY dangerous. Not doing everything you can to mitigate your risks just seems stupid... not to judge the people who do that or anything.

I'm not so sure. I love it, but I don't really know. I think that, for me, it has a lot to do with the control he has over me. I don't like long periods of it, and he's pretty careful about it, so I can still breathe and I always feel safe though.
