hi all! i'm new to this website so i hope i'm not doing anything wrong on accident lol.

i'm writing this because i've recently been trying to experiment with partial hanging to find something that works for me without feeling like my head is going to explode. the problem is i've made no progress!!

i've read multiple threads on partial hanging. the main goal for now is to find a setup that feels comfortable, and that makes me pass out quickly. i see people say that they're able to pass out in just a few seconds, and i'm like, ''huh? how!!''

so far, i've experimented with a necktie, a scarf, a thick belt and a thin belt. the most comfortable so far was the necktie. the belts dug into my neck a lot which is definitely going to leave bruises (not very practical for summer lol. thank god the weather is getting cooler for a bit, so i can wear turtlenecks), they didn't feel good at all. i'll have to try the scarf some more, i don't know.

the way i would do this is by tying a slip knot, then looping whatever i was using as a rope around the doorhandle of my wardrobe (not the best set-up, i know. unfortunately i don't have anything better to use in my room), and holding the end of it. then i'd pull until i felt that the pressure was enough for something to start happening.

i know you're supposed to put a lot of pressure to compress the carotid arteries. i tried both pressing down hard and lightly against the tie but it didn't make much difference. less pressure felt slightly better surprisingly.

also, i tried putting the noose in as many different places as i could:
- right under my jaw was uncomfortable, made me want to cough
- a little under was better i think
- anywhere under the adam's apple (i'm a cis woman, do we even have those? i get so confused when i see people talking about them in hanging threads) was uncomfortable and just tickled my throat for some reason.

anyway, every single position just gave me the head exploding feeling. sometimes worse than others but it would always, always end like that.

so, i never got close to passing out. but the thing that happens every single time is my hearing getting quiet. like, every time without fail. i don't know why? my vision doesn't getting dark or anything, it's JUST my hearing. it'll get quiet and then nothing more. just thay and the uncomfortable heartbeat in my head.

i think the big issue is the fact that i'm holding the end of the tie, instead of tying it somewhere and just letting myself fall into it if that makes sense. like, i can't relax properly. but i don't really want to die just yet, i just want to practice, figure out what my ''sweet spot'' is. so that i'm ready when the time IS right. i don't know how i could possibly tie the noose in a way where it'll undo itself when i pass out.

anyway, i'm now stuck with a sore, red neck and no real progress lol.

i think that's all the info i've gathered so far. if anyone has advice, or has the same issues, please let me know!

Welcome to the forum. I have the same issue with the exploding head sensation and I put the rope in the place all the threads tell me to as well, so I am also struggling with that.

For what it's worth, women do have Adam's apples - they're just not normally visible. My Spanish teacher was a cisgender woman and hers was visible. And sometimes they don't protrude in men.

From what I've heard, right above the adams apple is the best spot, I'm still experimenting with it tho since I wanna do the same method

thank you!

i guess i'll have to look at some anatomy charts to figure out how to find mine... hopefully it'll help me out a little in finding the right spot.

i'll definitely try that out again next time i practice. i think it might be the most comfortable spot for me so far.

I have the same issue! I felt like I was going crazy since so many people post about being able to pass out easy. I ended up ordering sn(hopefully it's the right purity) if it doesn't work I'm back to hanging but I also only get my hearing going out and neck pain. I have tried every position on my neck and so many times and only get pain, hearing loss, a choking/gaging feeling or nothing but discomfort while I sit there feeling like an idiot with nothing happening. I even tried full and just felt the head rush pain and choking. I wish I could figure it out because being out in 2 seconds seems much more peaceful than sn, but now I'm just hoping it works for me since I don't have antiemetics and I won't have to throw up and then struggle with hanging after :/ it's not just you I've spent a few weeks trying now.

i get it, i feel jealous of them honestly. i've never considered SN tbh, because i have emetophobia so throwing up is just... no. it also just seems very complicated to me i guess. i definitely hope it'll bring peace to those who have chosen it as their method though.

and i hope we can figure out a set-up that works for us eventually :') i guess it depends on the anatomy but agh it's frustrating

I heard hanging is easier for men then women due to the anatomy, I've seen videos of women succeeding but I feel like it may be true which sucks for us :/ trust me I get how frustrating it is, watching people succeeding who just threw cloth in a bad knot and pass out quick is so upsetting because we're using the right rope and knots and struggling 😭I'm not a fan of throwing up either but I'm so fed up with waiting and these two seem to be the best methods so

wait really?? i had no idea, i guess we're just unlucky </3 definitely wouldn't be surprised if it were true. maybe i'll try some random knots and positions to see if i somehow figure something out 😭

If you get any luck I'd love to know what you did, I feel like I've tried every way that makes sense
