[Boys as young as 14 have been asking their
teachers how to choke girls during sex,
a teacher has told the BBC.

Dr Tamasine Preece, who teaches
at Bryntirion Comprehensive in Bridgend,
said some children now felt it was a
normal part of sex and asked if
"a soft squeeze on the neck is OK".

Health experts said pornography was
a key contributor and that there was
no safe way to strangle someone.

One woman, Sophie Henson,
who was strangled until she passed out,
said choking should not be
normalised as part of sex.

It comes after warnings following the
death of 26-year-old dancer Georgia Brooke,
who was choked to death during sex
with her boyfriend.]



[Dr Kate Howells says aggressive porn
gives an unrealistic message to young people

She believes instant access to porn
for anyone with a phone is a key factor for it.

"People are watching it from a very
young age and, for a lot of young people,
it is their first sexual experience and therefore
they’re almost looking to porn to learn
about sex and what to do to be good at sex.

"If young people are seeing that kind of
messaging from pornography rather than
loving or caring, respectful messages
then they'll think that's what they
need to do - whether they feel comfortable
with it or not."]
