Clinical characteristics of acute sexual strangulation/choking: a randomized cross-over study
Sexual strangulation/choking may acutely impair NPC more than non-choking sex, attenuate the typical mood-enhancing effects of sexual activity (depression), and produce unique affective outcomes (anxiety reduction). As this practice becomes increasingly mainstream, further research is urgently needed to inform health education, clinical screening, and public health responses.
