+ Apply steady pressure with your entire hand. + Don’t cut off all the air. + Fucking pay attention. Air chokes are very dangerous but blood chokes are s instructions to perform properly. ightly safer and also require some safety Just like asphyxiation causes light-headedness and some lovely relaxed feelings, blood chokes do the same by a different method. Asphyxiation stops oxygen from reaching the lungs and thus prevents blood from being oxygenated and reaching the brain. Blood chokes allow oxygen to reach the lungs but prevent oxygenated blood from reaching the brain. It’s done by compressing the arteries in the throat. Of course this is still dangerous. Any activity that prevents oxygen flow to the brain is extremel dangerous and you should use the utmost caution in your play. However, when a blood choke is released, oxygenated blood rushes to the brain much faster than when an air choke is released. Blood chokes can be done semi-safely by the same general method as asphyxiation: * Don't cut off the airflow. + Don't squeeze too hard. * Fucking pay attention. Passing out from a blood choke is still possible but it's not as dangerous as passing out from asphyxiation. If your partner passes out (ie. faints), simply release the hold and they should come to almost immediately.
