A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry described autoerotic asphyxia as “development of a paraphilia” and found histories of choking, abuse, or trauma in several subjects

Is This Part of Rough Sex or Monstrosity?
If we are to be honest, rough sex that involves spanking, whipping, cuffs, tying, beating, choking with fingers or penis, inserting a fist and arm in a vagina, blood-letting with needles and blades, putting someone in a dog collar, and choking them is not an African sex culture but a White American gore-humiliating sex culture.
