Sexual strangulation – often referred to as ‘choking’ – has gone from being a marginal practice to something that over half of young people have done. So, how has it become so mainstream?
This post is the second in a series where we share the content from information sheets for young people developed by the Breathless campaign team. The information sheets are designed to support young people on the issue of sexual strangulation.
This second sheet focuses on why sexual strangulation has become so common, delving into how our sexual preferences and expectations are shaped by cultural influences including pornography, social media and our peers. You can view all our information sheets here.
