This attachment is excellent, and dispels many of the myths associated with hanging. Good work!
I feel like a slimmer rope would be better, a thicker one wouldn't tighten as well, no?
The location of the loop depends on your individual anatomy. Only experiments will help. Someone more suited from above, someone from below.
A thin rope requires less weight, but there will be more pain.
I want to answer my own question. Blood pressure really matters when the carotid arteries overlap. For two days I took a drug to lower blood pressure - Amprilan. Today I conducted tests. Of the two attempts, the arteries both times blocked only from the weight of the head. The loop was about the middle of the neck. Before taking the drug, I managed to block the arteries only once in my life, all other attempts ended only with an exploding head. Only one barrier remains - the survival instinct. When I begin to lose consciousness, panic begins and fright, and the legs themselves stand up.
Very fast, within 10 seconds. And very unexpectedly. If you do not want to catch a bus here and now, do not experiment with fixed ligature. You seem to fall into sleepiness. When you lose consciousness, the whole body weakens very much and there is a very big chance not to be released from the loop if such a desire arises. After this, for quite a long time, you experience a feeling of euphoria as after sex or masturbation.
What size rope is ideal?I just thought this information is better off here now, because the original source has been taken down.

Guide to partially suspended hanging:
Warning: Don't try this method unless you're totally sure that:
a) you want to kill yourself
b) that you won't be found for at least 30 minutes after you attempt.
This method is very lethal and quick (quick from your perspective
anyway, as you black out within seconds), but if you're found in time
and 'saved' you can end up with serious brain damage and/or be left a
vegetable.
Why partial suspension?
Because full suspension seems to me to be unnecessary and creates
difficulties. First of all you need to find a place which would hold
your entire weight, which isn't easy, and also you need a stronger
ligature, which isn't always easy to find either. There's nothing
wrong with full suspension, but it may not be a viable method for
everyone, especially if you're looking to use everyday materials from
around the home.
By partial suspension I mean that you hang yourself around the neck
(specifically the carotid artery), and push downwards while kneeling.
This should create enough downward pressure on the ligature to tighten
it and close the carotid artery and stop the blood flow to your brain.
All you need is 3 kilograms of pressure to do this, which isn't much
at all.
Also, with full suspension your entire body weight is pressurizing
your neck, and this would probably be more than enough to not only cut
off the blood supply to your brain, but break your neck as well. I'm
not too sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I do know though, that
statistically people who've attempted via hanging have more often been
found kneeling and partially suspended than being fully suspended.
Where is the carotid artery?
Before you start you have to know this. If you place your hand around
the middle of your neck, around your Adam's apple, with one thumb on
one side and all fingers on the other, you should feel a strong pulse
and heartbeat. If you close your hand now fairly firmly, you'll
probably make yourself pass out. It might be a good idea to try this
to make sure you've got the right spot.
What type of ligature?
You need a ligature that's strong, but not too elastic. It doesn't
have to be very long, 1 meter or more would be plenty. I'd advise
against nylon rope, string, fishing wire, etc.
Neckties on the other hand, are perfect Smile .
It may also be a good idea to lubricate the ligature with soap. This
would help the noose tighten even quicker, especially if you're using
a rough ligature such as a rope. Lubricating it in this way will
increase the friction once you push your head down and tighten the
noose, and could make it a little more effective and faster.
What type of knot?
A slipknot. It's one of the most basic knots around, and you make it
with one end of your ligature. The other end should go around your
hanging place.
Many people have the misguided idea that a hangman's knot should be
used, but they're wrong. A hangman's knot is for a completely
different purpose, and won't work for this method.
Where should I hang?
You should hang from a support which will hold part of your weight.
You should test this by tying the loose end of your ligature around
the support several times, sticking your hand (NOT your head) in the
noose and pushing down with it. If the noose holds, you're fine. If
not, then you'll have to find another spot.
A great and easy place to hang is from the thick horizontal metal bar
which you find in wardrobes in most homes.
When should I do it?
When no one else will be in the same area, for at least 30 minutes.
You lose consciousness within seconds but your body doesn't completely
die for around 15-20 minutes. The extra 10-15 minutes is for
preparation time and just in case.
How?
When you're completely ready, kneel down, stick your head in the
noose, position it around the carotid artery and push downwards with
your head.
Good luck...
You just have to move about a bit, leaning in different directions until you feel it. When I first started practicing I ended up just compressing my airway and not being able to breathe or blocking my jugulars which just made it feel like my brain was swelling. The other day I experimented leaning into the rope different ways and moving the knot around and a few times I managed to get it right and nearly passed out. It was actually a really good feeling, I can understand why people get an erotic kick out of it, you'll know straight away when you've got it. Just fall/lean in a few different ways, letting the pressure of the rope hit a few different spots and you'll get it. Even after trying another couple of times it took me a while to find the right spot again.
Do you mean a knot to attach the rope to the support e.g. tree branch, door handle?
Glad you managed it, I completely gave up on the hanging method for a while because I thought it would be slow, painful choking to death. Now I've just got to build myself up to doing it again because every time I started to pass out I kind of backed out last second. I don't know if booze would help or hinder as in the past, it's just made me emotional or pass out. Plus, the last time I tried I used up the last of my money trying to get carbon monoxide poisoning from charcoal briquettes. I literally have 50p left to my name.
I know right, after being on this thread it's started to seem like a nice way to go, I'm almost excited about it. I've watched some videos of people doing it as well and it seems almost instantaneous, no signs of pain or a struggle at all. There are quite a few videos on TheYNC if anyone wanted to browse but just fair warning, there's some really bad shit on that site so maybe stay away if you're faint-hearted.
Do you use partial suspension and just lean forward into it? I am practicing and that's what I'm doing. I don't have any success getting any results yet. I would like to do position 3 but it's very uncomfortable. Leaning forward is ok comfort wise but ineffective.
I personally am doing full suspension from a tree branch with a slip knot. Basically, when it worked for me, I had the rope around my neck standing on my chair and then I tightened the rope (knot at the back/side, I moved it around a few times) and I kept my hands on the knot behind my head, tightening as I leaned forward. And I can't work out whether I started to pass out when I was leaning forward or from the downward pressure but after a few tries and a few repositionings of the rope, I started to go and you know straight away when it's happening. I did it another couple times but I'd say it only worked like 3/10 tries so just keep giving it a go and tightening as you go and I'm sure you'll get it. It was only a couple of days ago I actually found out what a carotid artery is, before I was constantly just choking myself out. Also, I should mention I had the rope positioned above my Adam's apple, though I know not everyone does it this way.
