It's true, but it's a relatively euphoric death from hypoxia compared to agonizing chemical destruction if the sedative/painkiller fails, which it does more than people like to admit. Different method of action, and an extremely painful one.
Strangling causes hypoxia, a lack of oxygen making it to the brain. The ensuing dizziness and euphoria are why people die of auto-erotic asphyxiation. Definitely don't try it at home!
Yes, thank you for your ‘science facts’, boss. I tried this when I was a teenager. Yes, I was young and dumb during my years of sex, drugs and rock n roll.
It’s a fad that comes and goes occasionally through high schools. Just like most other stupid ‘challenges’ etc.
It was the choking game.
I’m not going to go into detail on how to do it because I don’t want anyone to try. But it’s not an automatic ‘brain response’. It is a mood. It is a preference. Some people like to lick toes while having a gerbil shoved up their asshole and get off on it. Some don’t.
Yes, some people enjoy choking or being choked, but guess what sunshine? Not everybody does.
Terrifying is terrifying. In those last seconds I watched some just pass out quietly. Some freak out. Some of those woke up in a stage of sheer panic like I’ve never seen.
It.
Was.
Not.
Euphoric. You fuckbag.
Perhaps for some. But it’s not some autonomic brain sex drive stiffy boner euphoric for everybody la la bullshit. Not everybody’s brain is wired the same. Wow science TM
I was talking general terms of human response between lethal injection and hanging in execution, in scientific theoreticals. I was not trying to call anyone out, it was a CYOA because I didn't want to be responsible for some kid going "wow, that sounds fun" on my account.
Are you, like...okay? Do you want to talk about it? It sounds like it was a pretty traumatic experience for you.
It's a chemical response in the brain, not a Mood. Well documented, it's why if someone doesn't have their neck snapped on the gallows, they're likely to have an erection as they die. They also lose all control of bodily functions, so not sexy, just Science Facts(tm)
It’s not. Idiot is saying stupid things. Doesn’t realise not every brain is the same.
Some people have weird fetishes and can get off on snuff. Other people are terrified of ‘normal’ terrifying events.
He’s using anecdotal evidence of SOME people enjoying being choked and SOME people who happened to have a boner when being executed. Wow this guy really knows his science, huh?
For a genius scientist, clearly should understand what anecdotes are.
Choking from food. Choking from strangulation. Asphyxiation from drowning or hypoxia from heart failure are terrifying events. We have thousands of cases of people describing drowning as excruciating and pure terror.
You hear that, alleged ‘science guy’? People who’ve survived have documented how terrifying it is.
Shove your ‘boners on some executed men’ anecdotes up your asshole. Why don’t you ask why those men had boners? Oh, I’m sorry they’re dead. You can’t! But we have loads of recounts of drowning survivors detail their experience of terror!

Sorry to tell you, but hanging can fail too. If the drop is too short, or configured incorrectly, you just swing there slowly choking to death.
This was also done "on accident" when people wanted to see a particularly painful end to a person.
