We Can't Consent to this - choking research

Hello you excellent lot.

Fiona from We Can't Consent To This here.

We're appalled by [[https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jul/25/fatal-hateful-rise-of-choking-during-sex
the rise of choking]] and other unbidden violence and abuse of women in sex. We're keen to hear women's stories so we can start to show the scale of the problem - if you'd be prepared to share your story in writing or recording, or know women who would, you can use our contact form at the bottom of wecantconsenttothis.uk/aboutus or on twitter DM twitter.com/Wecantconsentto?s=09

(Or on here)

We think this has become an appallingly common experience, particularly (but not only) for young women.

Thank you in advance Flowers

I'm an old gimmer so no longer sexually active, but by way of input in terms of a "control group" who were sexually active prior to the rise of internet porn, I can say that with sexual partners into the modest double digits, I have never had anyone try to choke me, and only once had a partner suggest anal (which was done politely and the rebuff was accepted without any quibbling whatsoever).

I had to stop reading that as I felt sick.
