This was very insightful. I’ve gotten off the dating apps. And we might agree. I think it can be quite the roller coaster for your emotional mental health. The instant love bombing for them not having genuine care for you. As for the Dom world. I know all about it. I so agree with you. And you are right. The lifestyle is different and it’s easy to spot posers. Full disclosure. I do not get the choking thing. And I can’t get off choking someone. I’m a guy. And have had a woman leave the relationship because I don’t do this. . And it kind of creeps me out. That dynamic just doesn’t vibe with me. Any woman who I sub with or who Doms me we are very clear with what we’re doing. This from past experience. I always ask do you like this? Is this something you enjoy doing? I think that’s important. part of what I enjoy is giving a woman power and allowing her to be or play that role she enjoys doing. That is some of the appeal of sub dom to me at least. Thank you for this. It was refreshing to read. You are the best.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I agree on so many aspects of what you said. The dopamine hit is real and, in my opinion, can cloud judgement as well as behavior.

Non consensual choking is incredibly common and there are data driven studies to show that. There’s also data showing evidence of hypoxic brain damage after repeated choking. It’s a no-go for me as either a giver or receiver.

Thank you so much Dr. thank you it really means a lot. I’m glad we’re on the same page. Yeah for me. I think tying a sexual aspect to something like choking is just bizarre. And I can’t see how this could be something appealing. Especially with the history tied to that with Men who have terrorized and brutalized women. It’s a subject that I think people should stay clear of. That’s just my opinion. As you stated there are reasons that can make it leave harm. You have a brilliant take on this. Thank you for sharing that. I think people need to be educated on that.

Thank you for putting this up. Although I know myself as the most vanilla, romance-is-hot, flirting-is-half-the- excitement person, I am always open to learning about people and interests beyond my personal horizon.

My personal switch is a sense of humour. Someone else's may be the potential to safely submit. They're equal expressions of sexuality. And it's good to learn about those expressions outside my wheelhouse. So thank you for teaching me something today.

Another “Stand up on the chair and clap like mad” post. You promote honesty and kindness as being hot.
