もぐら・ねぐれくてっど

Sexual choking is often portrayed as men imposing something on unwilling women after seeing it in porn. The assumptions about women’s desire and initiative are empirically testable. What do women themselves report? ENJOYMENT • 85.3% of women and 73.3% of men who had been choked reported ever experiencing pleasurable sensations/euphoria during it • Among undergraduate women with choking experience, 50% enjoyed it “very much” and 33.4% “somewhat.” Among undergraduate men, 26.8% reported “very much.” • Among women choked at their most recent sexual encounter, 86.3% reported pleasurable sensations/euphoria DESIRE AND INITIATION • Among women choked at that recent encounter, 72% wanted it “very much” and 20.5% “somewhat.” • Among women reporting consensual choking at that encounter, 44.5% asked/told their partner to choke them, 39.6% had previously said they liked it, and 23.7% placed their partner’s hand on their neck. These categories overlap. • In a separate Australian survey of adults aged 18–35, 27.4% of women with choking experience reported requesting it at their last choking episode. PARTNER PLEASING • 4.1% of undergraduate women and 5.5% of graduate women reported no enjoyment but allowing it because their partner liked it. SOURCES Herbenick et al.
