Okay so this is a bit of a rant but CHOKING and BREATH PLAY are two different things. Breath play is the restriction of air to the brain which CAN be done via choking but that can be dangerous and seriously hurt your partner so its NOT recommended, there are other, more safe ways to do that. Choking is generally the restriction of blood flow which can be done by LIGHTLY applying pressure to, not by squeezing, the common carotid artery, which is located to the sides and above the Adam's apple (there is natural divot in the neck that you'll feel if you apply pressure). And when grabbing someone by the neck, even if you're not squeezing (which you should be careful of, you should never ever squeeze hard because it's a delicate area and can be easily permanently damaged) avoid the Adam's apple!

PLEASE STAY SAFE
