If you're method is any form of hanging, does it make a difference to you what type of position you will hang by your neck?

IMG 7312

Me personally the B choice (noose knot in the front of the neck near my Addams apple) was the most comfortable when I failed my attempt. It wasnt really that painful, but SI still kicked in and the noose came a loose lmao.

Which position would be more suitable for you?

Of course position A, it puts the higest pressure on both carotides, and this is the aim of the procedure. By the way, for me is position A not more painful than the other positiones. Position B and C bends the neck in an unnatural way.

I tried position A when I was practicing partial hanging and it hurt like shit. Exploding head pain and everything, I barely felt that when I tried position B. Maybe it differs on the person.

I've been trying hanging a lot and I had the same problem from trying position A. I never considered those other neck positions as being a possibility, but I'm worried that they wouldn't stop enough blood from reaching the brain.

Im sure it will. Definitely watched a few videos of folks hanging themselves neck up. I think it will work regardless, because your body weight will do most of the work (and if you're not interrupted).

A. B and C dont provide enough pressure on the arteries and will only prolong your suffering. I recommend checking out Evelyn Lane's posts about fsh. It's gonna be my method too, I found them helpful.

A, B und C üben nicht genügend Druck auf die Arterien aus und verlängern nur Ihre Beschwerden. Ich empfehle Ihnen, die Beiträge von Evelyn Lane zum Thema FSH zu lesen. Das werde ich auch so machen, ich fand sie hilfreich.

A, B and C are in priciple all possible positions, the positions inbetween make no fundamental difference. If they don't provide enough pressure on the carotides, death by full hanging would be impossible. By the way, how much pressure is enough pressure?

They are, yes, but A is the ideal case imo. From what I can make of it, in B and C the knot is positioned in such a way that it takes much more time to lose consciousness. They do kill you, its just that they're not as peaceful.

I don't think there's one universal "enough pressure". It'll vary depending on the person but going by centuries of evidence, gravity does its job quite well.

The correct position is A, you concentrate all the pressure on the front and both sides of the neck (using a self-tightening knot = Arbor Knot).

Position B makes no sense; besides being extremely uncomfortable, the pressure will be more concentrated on the back of your neck, and the front part where the knot is will be "less tight" (less compression and penetration of the rope).

Position C is also bad; you have two carotid arteries on both sides of your neck, both of must be blocked to stop oxygenated blood flow to the brain.

unrelated to fsh but does this applies to ligature strangulation too?
the op of the ls thread said the knot must land on the middle of your neck but i heard that's the worst spot to place the knot

i know ls isn't as reliable as psh/fsh but just for testing purposes do you know if the knot should be on the back too?

A was perfect for me. Bit of padding and I passed right out. No pain.

Regarding Ligature Strangulation, it has the same death mechanism as Hanging (blocking the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain).

In this method, gravity will not help you exert pressure (your body will not be suspended adding weight with the rope tied around your neck). It will depend on your own strength and how tightly you can tie the ligature around your neck (to properly compress the carotid arteries).

To access the carotid arteries, the easiest area to penetrate is more or less at the height of the Hyoid Bone, which is above of the Adam's apple (laryngeal prominence). It is a soft area that can be greatly compressed.

To practice Ligature Strangulation, never tie knots; if they get stuck (you are using your strength to the fullest), it will be difficult to untie them (due to friction), and you could lose consciousness very quickly and accidentally making a successful attempt.

Ligature Strangulation is considerably more difficult than Hanging as a suicide method. It is more common in homicide cases, and the victims are frequently found with several turns of the ligature tied around their neck (compressing it tightly).

I'm sorry I can't make any suggestions; it's not a method I've researched in depth.

Just curious. If you passed right out, how are you still here?
I did it by kneeling and leaning forward. My body straightened itself out once I was unconscious, so it took the pressure off my neck and I woke up.

idk how people claim to avoid exploding head pain and just peacefully blacking out? i've tried adjusting the rope so many different ways like atp im questioning if thats even possible

I've had trouble with it too.

There is this misconception that it only takes a light amount of pressure for this to work, 5kg is what's often repeated. Based off the amount of failures and inability to compress the carotids by many attempters the evidence shows it takes quite a bit more for many individuals. We can probably throw that 5kg out the window at this point. For partial you need to simulate dead weight and to do that you must overcome all SI. It's not easy, there's no practice attempt.

I also don't believe a ton of the successful "practice" attempts by users. They're illogical in many cases. A cry for help? An embellishment SASU clout? idk. The more I read the more it's obvious.

I've tried A the times I've attempted (and probably the next too). I think I'm just not giving it enough pressure and not fast enough. (I wish I had a trigger to pull… I could get that done, ya know?) the slip knot last time helped I think. Last time went black and then "gray static" for a split second. Surely that's getting close.

5 kg is a weight, but it's about pressure, i.e., force per unit area. This figure should therefore be treated with caution. The pressure on the neck is greater the thinner the rope and the smaller the neck circumference; these factors should at least have been specified. It can be concluded that the force with which the rope is pulled is too weak if you feel like your head is going to explode. In this case, only the jugular veins, and not the carotid arteries, are blocked. One of the disadvantages of incomplete hanging is that you determine the force with which you pull the rope, and this force is usually too weak because you instinctively want to avoid pain.

It is not a lie. I wrapped a rope around my neck and pulled it tight. After 3 seconds, my vision went black, and then my body started shaking involuntarily. I am certain I did not use full force, and I was able to breathe during the process.

You only tightened a rope around your neck without an anchor point? What knot did you use? 3 seconds is fast.

I heard conflicting opinions. Most people say that A is the best option. It's also definitely the most popular one but I also heard that C is the least painful because it puts the most pressure on your carotid and less on your trachea than in option A. Can somebody explain me who is right? Hanging seems like best option to me so I would like to know more

View attachment 202195That is all. The point where the rope crosses is at the back of the neck.

I see that you keep posting about this idea, but using a crossed rope like this for hanging is terrible advice. Whether it's your body or some other object, this method won't work. The object will just spin around and fall to the ground.

If you use this to hang yourself, you might have the impression that it works, because it kind of holds while you're consciously leaning into it. However, once you lose consciousness, there's a very good chance that your body will just rotate and fall out of the rope.

Try looping a rope around a water bottle or a towel the way you're suggesting, and try lifting it up from the ground – it doesn't work.
