How harmful is self-suffocation as a long-term habbit? I started as a form of self-harm to try and measure how painful it would be to hang myself but now I actually find it quite relaxing.
I don't do it with a belt or anything though, just my hands (and stop before I'm unconscious), so there's no chance of any foreign object being tightened while I'm out and ending me, but that's not as big an issue as having painful damages dealt though.
I'd appreciate some guidance, I'm sure some of you do this while masturbating? (Btw I've never tried that because of all the risks involved, how good is it?)
Unless this is a Veeky Forumserary habit, in which case, Veeky Forumserary habbits thread.

Which board did you mean this for? Self suffocation seems pretty Veeky Forums to me.
Colton Edwards
this is pretty Veeky Forums I guess what board would this go on
Zachary Wright
The self-suffocation board, obviously.

by the way, the point of hanging is to break your neck, which is pretty much instantaneous death, so it shouldn't be painful
Matthew Perez
Bad for all the tubes and shit in your throat, also can cause brain damage if you overdo it
I say go for it

throughout most of history the "point of hanging" was strangulation it is only comparatively recently that anyone applied any "science" to hanging- weighing the victim beforehand to calculate the length of drop, etc.
see pic related (and the excellent film thereof)
Bentley Phillips
and incidentally there is a scene of autoerotic asphyxiation in justine, so it is Veeky Forums in a way
and if it was good enough for david carradine and michael hutchence, it's good enough for OP. so go ahead knock yourself out
Gavin Reed
we live in the modern age now so I think any hanging should be a break-neck hanging, but w/e

>How harmful is self-suffocation as a long-term habbit? Lack of oxygen can severely harm your brain. Your brain is very active and requires a lot of energy which it cannot produce without oxygen. Furthermore, lack of oxygen results in compounds that can further damage the brain... (Hypoxia)
The most vulnerable parts of the brain to lack of oxygen are >Hippocampus Involved in memory and spatial association >caudate nucleus Learning >thalamus Sleep alertness Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10635000
However this only describes the immediate effects of strangulation: UpToDate (It's targeted at medical professionals) have this to say PATHOPHYSIOLOGY — The pathophysiologic effects of strangulation activities have not been well studied. Several mechanisms, including cerebral hypoxia and hypoperfusion, cerebral vascular engorgement, decreased cardiac output (related to increased thoracic pressure), and hypercarbia have been postulated to play a role in loss of consciousness and other clinical manifestations [6,9,11,18,30]. After loss of consciousness, when the pressure is released, there may be a secondary "high" related to the rush of blood and oxygen to the brain [9].
You can also look up the latest research on pubmed ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed I really wouldn't try strangling myself if I were you though.

Very harmful. OP: decide now to never do it again. Not even once. This is the only way to save yourself.
Xavier Collins
That movie is dank as shit son. Savage fucking acting/
Owen Murphy
i really have no idea whether you are saying you liked it or not nuspeak eludes me
Matthew Baker
Probably /adv/.

Strangulation is the finest method of execution.
Benjamin Robinson
i did this once and got an epileptic seizure from it. shit was scary and i feel a little slower nowadays.
Dominic Brooks
someone l work with died doing this - I know, I know, I'm just some guy on the internet who happens to know someone it's happened to - just trying to put it in to some kind of statistical perspective
Mason Watson
This guy isn't actually getting strangled, you realise. He's hung by the ribs.
