Method How long should it take till pass out?

[MeltingHeart]

Ive been practising (for hours!) manual strangulation using just a ligature (with padding aimed at caratoid zone) and my own strength or also with a tourniquet method- I want to do this before attempt partial again to see how long till I pass out & I can hold it for ages & ages and make it really really tight, and do not pass out, I felt the (very weak) pulse in my caratoids so the ligature should have been in the correct area of my neck. Just cant believe how long and how strongly I can hold it without passing out at all, just get the classic feeling of lots of uncomfortable pressure building in my head (guess this is the compression of the jugular)- but why why why cant I even pass out? Have you tested and how long till you can if so? I am just afraid of being left 'hanging' around...so to speak in the real thing (excuse the terrible pun-humour is my defence mechanism)

Possibly arm strength alone is mot enough. Another tactic might be needed.

Yeah but crazy I can't even make myself pass out at all! And that tourniquet way- which does work as I've seen in / read about these cases during research. Feel like my caratoids must be really hidden deep! Just so worried about just hanging - being conscious for ages- I read one case of a man that was hanging for two days ! Awake!! That's really scared me
