There’s a lot to unpack with sexual choking. Here’s some science, including some real dangers, and some guidance, to help anyone make informed decisions to ensure safer, healthy, consensual and mutually-enjoyable experiences.

It’s remarkably easy to hurt ourselves in the pursuit of feeling good. This guide covers sexual injuries, what to do when and after they happen, and how to prevent them.
