  • I have actually in the past dated another eh... system within one body, 'she' had a primary identity/consciousness that was in command maybe 85% of the time, but a number of others would take over or emerge in various situations.

    I guess the... totality of myself and all of the 'alters' (this was the term 'she' used) within 'her' body (afab body, but the alters were of varying genders, and pronouns, grammar is hard) ... well we all did not end up working out as a 'couple' (... again, grammar) but I don't see that as any reason to take my one experience with such a system and use it to just immediately negatively paint every other similar system I encounter.

    I hope all ya'll are doing well!

    Ah, either way, yes, I also as a kid in school ... well I can't say I ever directly saw it, but I definitely heard about other kids asphyxiating themselves for... fun?

    Yeah, seemed like a bad idea to me as well.

    ... A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

  • 100% agree with all of that.

    The choking thing is....I've known a good number of people who just... dont understand that actually cutting off oxygen supply to someone's brain is fucking bad, and does not really work like it does in video games and movies.

    As you say, you... can grasp someone's neck in a way where they can still breathe... I've known too many idiots who do not know how to do this and also do not know that it is dangerous to have done to yourself.

  • Hence why my opinion of being told about that was 'that sounds completely fucking insane'.

    Like... fuck, man.

    Yeah, beyond the rather obvious 'never even consider this without enthusiastic consent'...

    You probably should just never do this.

    I know people can be and are into varying kinds and degrees of pain during the hanky panky... BUT...

    It would extremely easy for someone of... really just average strength for an average young male athlete... to punch someone, in the back of the head or upper neck... with enough force that you could cause serious brain damage, break their neck, fuck them up for life, potentially even kill them.

    Like if you can't tell, I'm more into the sensual stuff in the bedroom, maybe a bit of consented restraint...

    ... but I also have a black belt. Took over a decade to earn, been in a lot of kumite bouts, competed in several tournaments, watched a few more talented karetekas from my dojo go on to place in the top 3s of regional, national, international tournaments.

    And ... this idea terrifies me, any real martial arts competition I have ever even heard of would disqualify you from the match, and probably ban you for life for intentionally punching someone in the back of the head.

    Its way too fucking dangerous.

  • https://www.wboy.com/only-on-wboy-com/rednecks-and-their-ties-to-the-battle-of-blair-mountain/

    According to haenfler.sites.grinnell.edu, “the term redneck has strong agricultural ties. Originally used in the latter half of the 19th century, redneck was a slur used by upper class whites to describe lower class white farmers (Huber 1995). These lower class workers would often have sunburnt, red necks from tending their fields all day; hence the name.”

    However, the term would soon turn away from its prejudiced roots and instead come to represent unification. At first, the term was used on pro-union southern coal miners “due to their communist ties,” grinnell.edu said. However, the labor unions took the term and transformed it into a symbol of unity, donning red bandanas to identify themselves.

    In 1921, this “Red Neck Army,” a force 10,000 strong, marched from Charleston, W.Va. to Logan and Mingo counties, “the last two non-union counties in West Virginia,” according to appalachianhistory.net. The ultimate result of this march would be the Battle of Blair Mountain, where the striking miners would face off against state, company and federal forces.

    Now... beyond the wierdness of a local news outlet ... citing a website instead of a person as a source...

    Uh basically, yeah, the Battle of Blair Mountain is also very much associated with the term 'redneck', yeah, whole bunch of these guys wore red bandanas or kerchiefs around their necks.

    In the subsequent century, we've as a society mostly completely forgotten about this, redneck just means dumb bubba hick out in the boonies...

    ... not armed combatants literally shooting and fighting and dying for better working conditions and pay.

    Isn't the memory hole fun?

  • I... have known a single couple, both of whom told me, separately, that they enjoyed, and I should try... 'donkey punching' ... which is apparently smacking the uh, 'recipient', in the back of the head, right as climax is about to occur, because apparently this causes a more intense contraction/climax.

    Personally, that sounds completely fucking insane to me, but apparently, different strokes for different folks?

    In conclusion, the physical properties of penguins constitute a suboptimal replacement for graphite moderation of neutron propogation in a nuclear reactor.

    Further, tested penguins were largely non responsive to all different training approaches attempting to have them associate the verbal command "Scram!" with the desired behavior of promptly entering the reactor pool.

    Using your finger, gently trace lines around the neck, jawline, down to the collar bone, around the breast, along the sternum, follow the bottom of the ribcage, cross to the hip... you get the idea.

    Ideally, be somewhat unpredictable, teasing, double back a few times, mix things up ... labor or modulate the instensity of your own breath a bit.

    Pay attention to her own breath modulations, her twitches or squirms.

    Also obviously works better with lighter, or no clothing.

    Think of this as maybe drawing arcane runes, casting a spell... tell a slightly different story every time.
