Why do I Laugh Uncontrollably When My carotid Artery Is Compressed?

[Deadgirl]

Does it have to do with grasping for air or euphoria?

If you're compressing cartoids you are not gasping for air. I'd say it's a defence mechanism. You've done your research, you know what to expect, and when those first tingles wash over you, it could be too much to accept. Knowing you've found the 'sweet spot', knowing consciousness and ultimately death follow, but not following through with it.

When I'd correctly found my cartoids it was a mix of euphoria, knowing I could do it, holy f#ck what the hell am I doing etc. Just a thought.

That's exactly how I feel, i feel euphoric and my vision goes out. I've only done this with my hands. I understand why i shake and go blind but the laughter is a mystery.

@Deadgirl @Funkbunny How do you practice this? I mean it take like 10 pounds of pressure or something like that to compress the carotid artery so do you use your body weight to add enough pressure because just choking myself with my hand or tightening a slipknot around my neck while pulling isn´t doing the trick I suppose there isn´t enough pressure.

Are you putting pressure to the pusling thing in your neck? It should take little to moderate pressure to start blurring out.

Yeah on both arteries but how do I practice it should I be able to compress it just by using my hands?

i tried many times but i can never find the spot and i feel like i have put insane amounts of pressure on every part of my neck. i feel the strong heartbeat but no amount of pressing amounts to much other than a tingly sensation and feeling out of breath even though im breathing fine. i never get blurry vision or anything. clearly im an idiot.

For me it works if i do it between the neck muscles and trachea. A little more to the muscles. In the night night mega thread there is a perfect diagram.

Read the 'night night' megathread. Main info on the 1st page.

I have seen that picture in the night night megathread still didn´t work, maybe I should practice more.

Yeah I can´t either.
