“…Sexual choking is now prevalent among adolescents and young adults in the USA, UK, and New Zealand, disproportionately affects women and sexual minoritized individuals, and is consequential to health (Beres et al, 2020 ; Coker & Domett, 2022 ; Herbenick et al, 2020 , 2021a , 2021c , 2022a , 2022b ; Savanta Com Res, 2019 ). Although commonly called “choking” (Beres et al, 2020 ; Cruz, 2022 ; Herbenick et al, 2022d , 2022e ), using one’s hands, limb, or a ligature to squeeze or press against the neck to occlude blood flow and/or airways is a form of strangulation (Sauvageau & Boghossian, 2010 ). Consequently, what people tend to refer to as sexual choking may share at least some health risks as those arising from strangulation occurring in other contexts, such as the so-called “choking game,” sexual assault, or intimate partner violence (IPV) (Bichard et al, 2022 ; Busse et al, 2015 ).…”
