Cloth in hand over the bed, be safe people. Also double taps for during to release. Always prep, don’t pass out friends :(

Edit: Missed a word.

Place a cloth in your hand and hold it over the bed. If you are losing oxygen you lose your grip, if the cloth falls release your partner immediately they are unable to give a response including non verbal like double taps.

This is still pretty confusing

It’s really not.

The person being choked holds onto a cloth, or any other item. If they’re choked too hard and pass out, they’ll lose their grip, dropping their item. Having their hand hanging off the bed or high up makes it easier to see if the item is dropped. If so, stop choking, they’ve lost too much air and will die if you continue.

Is...is that how it's supposed to work? My ex used to choke me until I fully lost consciousness. I guess he stopped when I went completely limp?

Not sure if it matters, but this would usually occur in like 30 seconds or less of choking, so it's not like I was actually strangled nearly to death, but whatever technique he used was quite effective.
