The article discusses the alarming trend of sexual strangulation, often referred to as 'breath play,' becoming normalized among young people. Joy’s remark at a workshop underscores this disturbing shift, where the perception of violence in intimacy is increasingly trivialized. It emphasizes the confusion between choking and strangulation, with the latter posing severe health risks. The influence of pornography and media plays a significant role in shaping young people's views towards these practices, leading to a concerning increase in incidents where consent is absent. Many are unaware or dismissive of the risks involved, which is reinforced by toxic male dominance exemplified in popular culture.
The term 'breath play' misleadingly suggests a benign activity, far from the dangerous reality of strangulation... glamorized through pornography and popular media, making it appear desirable.
Approximately 58 percent of female college students have been choked during sex... often without conversation or consent.
Young people today are either unaware of the risks or dismiss them entirely, highlighting the grim normalization of violence in intimate encounters.
High-profile influencers like Andrew Tate amplify this trend toward violence against women, glorifying male dominance and control in sexual relationships.
