So uh… For future partners’ sake… What source do I redirect them to to make sure I don’t suffer more brain damage than I’m sure I already have from other things… 👀
I don’t have a source, but the idea is not interrupting airflow or blood flow to the brain.

When I was in the kink community breath control was a big no-no. There’s a significant enough risk of putting your partner in shock, amd in the 1990s police were not very understanding of death by heavy erotic play.
Of course the US may currently be in the stage Russia was in 2011 (and still is) of YOLO high-risk selfies.
Yeah just huff nitrous during sex instead. It gets you the same pleasurable feeling (better, actually), and you won’t fucking die from oxygen starvation.
Most people that I’ve met as well as myself and my partners don’t actually do breath play of any variety. Just firm pressure applied to the sides of the neck, to reduce risk slightly. I understand it’s still not a completely safe activity, but we’re all consenting adults.
If the British government browsed Lemmy, they’d be very upset right now.
They’d be upset anyways since there are trans people and people who understand that Israel is doing genocide in Gaza here

This highlights a big flaw in the golden rule: people want different things

There are a lot of commonalities regarding what humans generally want for the non-specific ethics of reciprocity to be useful.
Even more so, what humans don’t want.
Or, for that matter, what non-human entities want. Thanks to the collapse of the rule of law at the federal level, businesses who can’t afford access to Trump are abandoning the US if they can’t pay the expected tribute to Trump, or can’t get in his good graces on ideological grounds. It turns out companies like an economy in which the rules are consistent for everyone.

Perhaps unsurprisingly this has been a thing in philosophy of ethics for awhile now. Copper rule gang rise up!
Copper Rule:
Do (or don’t do) unto others as they would (or would not) have you do unto them
Basically treat people how they want to be treated.

TIL: When people refer to choking during sex, it’s actually choking.
I thought it was just called that way, in a similar way to “choker” being a close-fitting necklace, just lightly pinning down someone by their neck. Not strangulation.
Some people definitely want just like a hand necklace, gentle, no pressure. A LOT of people want to actually asphyxiate. My wife, for example.
This distinction has caused much confusion. Safer to assume the first option.
Btw you should tipi your hand a bit so they dont like, actually die. Were here to have fun and all.
This is exactly what happened to me. I had never been choked, nor had I ever choked someone. Was making out with girl, she was on top of me, and then started choking me. I was so confused and horny. Eventually asked her about it and yes, that is what she wanted done to her. Like Jesus, just say so.
