how about Mr Kid Starver fund sex education (and education in general) instead of mandating an ever expanding police presence in citizens personal lives
There’s a better way to do this, which is mandating that platforms add detailed, informative warnings to content that includes choking, but that doesn’t advance the UK government’s censorship agenda so they won’t do it.
I’ve dated a few people into sexual choking and usually you’re not ACTUALLY choking them, just squeezing their neck a bit. ACTUAL choking is considered a more hardcore kink that requires a lot of safety precautions, but most people into it just think it’s sexy to get their neck squeezed a bit.
I would challenge you, and others in this chat on this. Choking has inherent risks which i obviously seek to mitigate in my own practice but I still enjoy getting choked. Is there any evidence choking is any more hazardous than, say, downhill skiing, tree climbing or drinking alcohol? Downhill skiing results in a significant number of maimings and severe injuries every year., as well as some deaths. Should we ban media promoting this objectively harmful activity? I guess I have two points.
Firstly, people engage in hazardous activities for fun. That’s ok actually, and banning media which encourages or promotes any hazardous activity is an absurd standard. Promoting safety and risk mitigation is cool ofc. You won’t catch me discouraging my kid from climbing trees despite them being at a significantly higher risk than me and my partners when we choke each other.
Secondly, I believe you are holding sex acts to a standard you wouldn’t hold other activities to in terms of what is harmful or acceptable. I would challenge you to consider where those views are coming from.
Probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but rare Keir Starmer W.

Same. There’s a small list of kinks that are harmful and shouldn’t be promoted, this is one.ehh nevermind this was a bad take

Fair point, I can’t honestly refute it. I was commenting “from the hip” without thinking through what I was saying.
