percent of American women view pornography online, with 61.3 percent of people admitting in another\u00a0survey\u00a0that they\u2019d seen the act of sexual choking being depicted in\u00a0adult videos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sexual asphyxiation, defined by Web MD\u00a0experts as \u2018the act of choking someone else or yourself for sexual pleasure\u2019, falls under the umbrella of breath play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">This\u00a0erotic act\u00a0is prevalent in pornography, and it\u2019s apparently spilling over into\u00a0real-life\u00a0sexual encounters, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Today (July 7), The Guardian published an\u00a0article\u00a0that stated strangulation during sex had become \u2018normalised\u2019 to the point among young people that it\u2019s no longer being viewed as \u2018problematic\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Speaking about the common sex trend that has the potential to cause brain damage and strokes, Jane Meyrick, a chartered\u00a0health\u00a0psychologist who leads work on sexual health at the University of the West of\u00a0England, told the publication: \u201cThere\u2019s no safe way to do it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

class=\"text_text__nEn66\">According to a survey conducted by the Institute for Addressing Strangulation, established with Home Office funding in 2022 after strangulation became a standalone offence, over one third of 16 to 34-year-olds have experienced sexual strangulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">This is compared to the 16 percent of 35 to 54-year-olds who have admitted to indulging in the practise, and the 3 of those 55 and above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cLarger academic studies of college students in the US and Australia put it at much higher,\u201d explained Meyrick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cIt has become normalised practice among younger people and not viewed as problematic and most older people have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sexual choking can have minor health risks such as broken blood vessels in your face, a hoarse voice, or trouble swallowing, according to Web MD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">However, other more serious health risks include\u00a0depression, PTSD and even memory problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Death can also occur when there is too much pressure on your carotid arteries &#8211; those are the two large blood vessels in your neck that supply blood to your brain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It\u2019s advised that you seek emergency help if someone partaking in sexual asphyxiation loses consciousness, can\u2019t breathe or can\u2019t speak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>61.3 percent of
