Holy fuck. I used to be heavily into kink and into some kinda extremely play, but like what happened to RACK? You can straight up die when breathplay is involved.
The risk is small, but you need clear consent and a plan for what if heart attack etc. Holy shit we used to be dorks swapping lists of what we were into or willing to consider before ever doing a scene. Has the culture gotten that fucked?
One time someone slapped me without discussing it prior and I had to give that mfer a lecture about cranial and spinal anatomy, consent, and the importance of bracing the skull. I thought that was an extreme mistake.
RACK = Risk-aware consensual kink, for my fellow squares
Ah yes sorry, I hate it when people include weird acroynms without defining them. I cannot live up to mine own ideals.
To explain to the peanut gallery, a movement in kink culture that views kink not as an activity which has to, or can be, 100% safe. Instead it focuses on clear scoping out of risks, strategies for mitigation and clear consent by parties aware of them.
In my experience, at least in my local area, the actual kinksters shy away from choking quite a bit, it's the more vanilla-leaning people who choke a lot.
Casuals ruining shit for everyone smh my head.
Medical people are the best play partners. All the anatomical knowledge to be safeish and insane with the unphased affect of someone who has rearranged some organs.
