Help Does anyone feel like they’re suffocating when doing partial?

[theguineapigking]

Hi. I'm curious if anyone else feels like they are suffocating when practicing partial,even with barely any pressure whatsoever on the windpipe? I even tried using my fingers on my carotid arteries without compressing the windpipe. My vision fades fast but I feel like I'm holding my breath even though I'm breathing perfectly fine. It seems as if my brain tells my body it's being deprived of oxygen so my body feels like it's not breathing in any oxygen. I know logically it makes sense. But...

I've never heard of anyone complaining about this when not pressing on the windpipe. I've read most peoples' comments just saying you don't really suffocate unless you block the windpipe. Don't get me wrong,I'll still do partial suspension. But I'm just curious if it's just a "me" issue or not?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Best of luck to you all.

Yes I have the same problem.
I also can't make myself pass out

tried with a shoelace lol and it was choking the hell out of me. tried with a scarf and it wasn't choking me but i was so conscious about my neck that it felt like it was

I think you need to have the ligature up as high as possible, the noose at the back of your neck and lift your chin up and let the weight do it's job. This will allow a greater amount of pressure to actually work on your arteries and not your voice box/trachea.

I just tried to choke myself (not hang) with a silken long scarf and I had no idea what I was doing, beyond that there was sufficient pressure on my windpipe to make me feel uncomfortable but not enough for choking me completely, I could still breathe.

I don't feel like I'm choking at all, with a decent slipknot & soft material (blanket/scarf/etc), it doesn't even feel very uncomfortable. A few seconds and I feel it's pretty easy to ctb with no pain.
