Frequent and Recent Non-fatal Strangulation/Choking During Sex and Its Association With fMRI Activation During Working Memory Tasks

Abstract: Being strangled, or “choked,” by a sexual partner has emerged as a prevalent, often wanted and consensual sexual behavior among adolescent and young adult women, yet the neurological consequences of repeated exposure to this behavior are unknown. The objective of the study was to examine the association between a history of repeated, recent choking/strangling episodes during sex and fMRI activation during working memory tasks in young adult women. This case-control study involved young adult women (18–30 years… Show more

“…Third, the choking group showed significantly reduced degrees of cortical folding (gyrification) in widespread regions compared to the choking-naïve group, whereas the depth of the cortical sulci appeared to be similar between the groups. In conjunction with our recently published work on patterns of functional MRI activation during working memory tasks in women with recent, frequent exposure to choking (Huibregtse et al, 2022), these data provide insight into the potential neurobiological consequences of frequent choking/strangulation during sex.…”
