Method I can't pass out from partial hanging

[landslide12]

Every time I try to partial hang myself, I feel like my head is about to explode. How did you guys find the "sweet spot"?

It does seem that the sense of your head filling up is because you have only blocked your jugular veins, which should drain the head, and not the carotid arteries. I have done that during my practises. My face also goes dark red.
I think that I can now locate my carotids. Apparently they require more pressure to block. Although it is not painful to squeeze them I find it uncomfortable and unpleasant.
I have not yet blacked out, but I find my sense of hearing alters, surrounding noise gets quieter, then comes back as I release the squeeze.
I am really not looking forward to what I know I must do.

So are you saying I should put more pressure in my neck?
