Method Does partial hanging always work?

[Thisiscertainlyause]

I have never considered myself to have a particularly thick neck until practicing this method . I've tried every position and angle on my neck, nothing, I get the swelling feeling, but no fainting or even feeling faint. From what I've read here the swelling feeling only occurs when you are closing one bit off(i forget the names) and not the other, while I'm okay with pain, I'm guessing that's not all I'm getting if blood flow isn't completely blocked? Basically, 1. Does partial hanging just straight up not work on some neck anatomies 2. If I do this wrong and only block some blood flow, am I either going to survive with serious complications or die very very slowly, or something different? I should note that I can't pull the rope any tighter or squeeze with my hand any tighter, I am not overly strong but I should be able to exert enough force if the megathread is right about 3kg..

1. Well it works for most anatomies. It could get especially tricky in cases of thick necks, scarring, short neck, etc
2. Most of the time we only partially block the carotids since they're very high pressure, its the jugulars that are easy to fully compress. In the case that you still don't lose consciousness, it could cause damages (stroke, cognitive injury, cerebral venous something, etc). Also if the ligature loosens even slightly after prolonged unconsciousness, ending up a veggie is likely


You're getting that swelling feeling cuz you're blocking just the jugulars, the carotids still pump blood to the brain but can't drain out so it pools in the head instead.

So in your opinion, those with a thin neck are favored?

ahh, that makes things more difficult . I don't really have a plan B. Thank you for the info!!

I believe so. There's less soft tissue and muscle between the skin and the carotids so external pressure from the ligature recahes them more directly, unlike on a neck with more muscle, fat or just a larger diameter, the external force will be mostly spread out and absorbed so reaching the carotids will be harder, not impossible.


There still isn't a guarantee for thinner necks though, anatomy still varies(carotid depth, branching patterns, etc)

This is really sad, thank you for your reply. But perhaps fat isn't as protective of the carotid arteries as muscle is. What do you think?
