A professional escort has sparked a major conversation after revealing the dangers behind a growing “choking” trend in bedrooms, warning couples that what may seem adventurous could end in tragedy. In a candid interview with The Daily Star, she described the practice as “incredibly risky,” even among willing partners, and emphasized that too many underestimate how quickly things can spiral out of control.
The woman, known publicly only as Olivia, explained that rough intimacy involving breath restriction is being glamorized on social media and adult sites, making it seem “normal” without properly highlighting the life-threatening risks. Olivia said she has seen firsthand the aftermath of people taking things too far — including unconsciousness, fractured tracheas, and psychological trauma. The New York Post reports more chilling details.

Medical experts are echoing Olivia’s concerns. Dr. Ashley Winter, a leading urologist and sexual health expert, explained that restricting airflow, even momentarily, can cause serious oxygen deprivation. This, she said, can result in irreversible brain damage or even sudden death — outcomes most people never anticipate when seeking excitement.

Olivia added that many people attempting this trend have no formal training or safety knowledge, relying only on what they’ve seen in videos. Worse yet, in the heat of the moment, even established signals like tapping out can fail — especially if a partner misses the sign or misjudges the seriousness of the situation.
Statistics from the UK Office of National Statistics show that deaths linked to “consensual” choking incidents have risen sharply over the past five years, sparking calls for more awareness and better education on safer practices. The BBC dives deeper into the alarming trend.

Advocacy groups are urging couples interested in kink practices to seek out workshops led by qualified instructors, where techniques are taught responsibly and safety is emphasized. Experts stress that full consent, constant communication, and emergency protocols must be standard, not afterthoughts.
For Olivia, speaking out is about preventing tragedy before it strikes. “It’s not about being boring,” she said. “It’s about keeping the people you care about alive and healthy. There are so many ways to be adventurous without risking someone’s life.”
