And it’s not a matter of being careful/aware, it can take literally a couple of seconds to cause a seizure, and a couple of seconds longer, if your partner doesn’t realise it’s not “happy convulsions” but “oh no he’s pissed himself and swallowed his tongue” convulsions, for you to have a bleed on the brain.

When I was a teenager there was a bloke who lived across the road to us found hanging off the bannisters with his cock in his hand. Seriously, you can have great sex without putting your life at risk. And if you can't... if it doesn't hurt when you pee, perhaps just use it for that.

I didn't want to generalise too much based on sex but I have heard cases similar to that and it's always men. You never hear of women choking themselves to death in a self sex game gone wrong. It's always a man saying oh she wanted me to do it after he's killed her. I don't think you can count women in porn because they're getting paid to act out what men want/like to think women enjoy.

No, you never hear of women choking themselves... that's true. I feel like this defence is going to be used and abused in the future and apart from filling the defendant with a truth drug or beating it out of them, there's going to be no proof either way.

When I was in Uni halls a guy in our block came into the kitchen a bit distressed, and relayed to us a tale of how he'd been trying it out using a belt attached to the back of his door, and that he'd suddenly realised he couldn't get down and panicked and almost passed out (at which point he'd probably have died) ... why he chose to tell us all that I'll never know, seems like a story you'd take to the grave .

He was full of fanastical sex stories though, in 3rd year him and his girlfriend got into chemsex (sex on various drugs, for the uninitiated), which they then abruptly stopped after having sex on a bad LSD trip. And I swear he's never been the same since... he was really anxious for the rest of our time at Uni, and I see him crop up occasionally when I log into Facebook. He still looks... haunted. That **** was something like 14 years ago .
