I want to know what to expect, if there's pain I want to be prepared for it.

3-4 minutes of painful choking or 45 seconds of pain then unconsciousness?

 

[Lady black]

For me it was only a few seconds, nearly no pain. But I was saved after passing out

 

[Done182]

How would you rate the pain out of ten?

 

[Lady black]

If 10 is maximum I would say 0,5-1

 

[Done182]

Wow, was it uncomfortable at all? Did you feel pressure in your head?

 

[Lady black]

it was uncomfortable, cause the whole weight oy my body was pulling on my neck and my head was pushed a bit forward. But Neatly no pain. There was only pressure in my arteries at the neck I felt my heartbeat there. Everything get blurred quick and then it got dark. I felt really dizzy

 

[Done182]

• Thank you for answering all my questions X.

 

[Lady black]

You know it can be a slow and agonizing death, but if you do it right it won´t be

 

[Done182]

How do I do it right? Arghhh

 

[Done182]

Please help.

Use a knot that tightens easy, I used a hangmans knot, that works if you don´t make it to tight. Place the knot at the back of your neck and tighten it good before you hng yourself. Try to fall not to deep, that the sudden stop of your drop won´t hurt your neck. Try to use a not stretchy not too thick and not too thin rope (it depends on your weight/height) how thick it sould be. For a typical woman a 10mm nylon rope is good

 

[Done182]

Would a slip knot do? Would a dressing gown belt be good?

 

[Lady black]

I´d use rope. A slip knot is also good, I used a hangmans knot and it worked asI described

 

[Done182]

Why is rope better? I thought of a dressing gown belt as it would dig into my neck less, Which knot is better?

 

[Lady black]

I haven´t tried the slip knot, I think with your belt the slip knot is better. I think the belt could be little bit stretchy and will maybe tighten harder

 

[Done182]

Will the belt cause more pain?

 

[Lady black]

It´s hard to say it depends if tightens not good enough yes. If it´s stretchy yes. If it will be too thick yes

 

[Done182]

Sorry I don't understand.

 

[Lady black]

It will hurt if the belt-noose will not tighten easily. It will hurt if the belt is too stretchy. And it will hurt if it will not bring enough pressure to you neck, cause it´s too thick

Will a 1/2 in rope do?

 

[Lady black]

It depends on your weight/height

 

[felix]

It depends on your weight/height

I'm 6'0 ft 240

 

[Done182]

What does '1/2 in rope' mean?

 

[Lady black]

Yes this could work, but I woulse about 15mm thickness, cause you are heavy and tall

 

[Lady black]

1/2 rope must be 0,5" thick rope

 

[felix]

Yes this could work, but I woulse about 15mm thickness, cause you are heavy and tall

It'll hold me. I have it tied in a slipknot with padding. It's about 400 lb test

 

[Lady black]

Ok, but it will cut deeper into your neck than a 15mm one

 

[Done182]

What padding did you use?

 

[Lady black]

I used no padding, only a hood like a hanged person at an execution had to wear

 

[John Smith]

If 10 is maximum I would say 0,5-1

what does "0,5-1" mean?
