Namechanger here. Don't really want to broach this one with RL friends yet...
I've been seeing a guy for a few weeks now that I met online. It all seems quite promising - he is funny, thoughtful, attractive, smart, etc etc etc. A few years younger than me, no kids. Last week, we slept together for the first time. All at my instigation - invited him back to mine, no pressure from him.
Anyway, all was going fine, until about halfway through the third shag he put his hand around my throat. It took me a few seconds to realise that this was an intentional 'move' and that I didn't like it. I couldn't breathe. I didn't say anything but took his hand away, quite firmly. He gave a sort of embarrassed laugh and we carried on, no other weirdness from him but no apology either.
Am I overreacting to be a leetle bit concerned about that? Don't get me wrong - I am no prude, I consider myself to be pretty sexually adventurous in fact, I have no issue with anything really (children and animals excepted, of course) but I do think that it should all be consenting - and that first night together it's probably best to keep it fairly vanilla unless otherwise clearly indicated!
Or did he just get a bit carried away, do you think? I mean, he did stop as soon as I made it clear I didn't like it, he didn't try again, etc. There's nothing else in his behaviour so far that gives cause for concern, although of course I've not known him for long. Maybe he had an ex that liked it and he just forgot himself in the heat of the moment, as it were?
We're due to spend this weekend together, at his. Do you think I should say something before we get down to it (ahem) or should I just see what happens and then deal with it?

Is this a red flag or am I overreacting?
