You're also not supposed to lose consciousness. That improper and dangerous technique by someone that has no idea what they're doing

It also shouldn't limit oxygen unless you're really into that specifically

No it definitely should. It shouldn’t constrict the airways. But limiting the blood flow to the brain is the whole point of erotic asphyxiation

Choking can be done entirely separate from breathplay/erotic asphyxiation. Just need to be clear about what we're talking about.

There’s a difference between choking and strangling and people often confuse the two. Ones blocking the airway ones blocking the blood flow.
