I have been trying to locate my carotids using resources here and my own research and yet failing, i have attempted Ligature Strangulation in perfect conditions home alone more than once - thick shoe lace, proper padding,and proper knots and yet nothing but that exploding head feeling which apparently means im squeezing a different artery? I also saw under threads people say that their sweat spot was actually under their Adams apple, while others say it was way above / directly under their jaw, for me I feel a "pulsing blob" in both but i just cant get myself to even feel about to pass out from squeezing it or the shoe lace. The closest I have got to passing away was probably right above my adams apple (to the point where when I swallow the shoelace slides down then back up) and it took a minute after the exploding head feeling to just have muffled voice and hearing.
I have probably tried this 20 times so far and have only gotten the exploding head. Can anyone that had this and was able to overcome it tell me how? I have a pretty lean skinny neck but I am afraid maybe im not applying enough pressure even though i have tried my best and tightest. I am also worried if I got any damage from my attempts and reckless testings where I hope it just goes right this time.
Also I am thinking of getting an Ultrasound Scan or MRI or whatever would show my artery anatomy around my neck area to locate them exactly. And because I have READ under a thread that the poster of the ligature strangulation method called it BS and CTB using FSH i am also leaving that as a last resort.
