Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Then don't look it up. My partner likes to be seriously choked during sex...what you gonna arrest me for making my partner cum?
I've NEVER "looked it up," but it seems to be an almost mandatory part of most videos produced anymore - along with the usual several positions that must be assumed, and ending virtually every video in a facial. They all look the same.
Well okay, did the last time I bothered looking for porn videos regularly. It's been quite a while since I just couldn't seem to avoid shit like that. Text stories are my porn anymore.
I don't GAF what you & your partner prefer to do in your private time. Conflating that with porn is both disingenuous, and possibly telling of how highly you think of yourself.
I mentioned what my partner and I do because at what point do these ridiculous laws stop? Right now, it's just porn, but then it's what you do in the privacy of your bedroom.
Choking has not been a big thing in porn. There's a shit ton of porn so of course there's a lot of choking porn, doesn't mean it's the main thing.
And positions now? What are you a nun? Does doggy bother you? Does Cowgirl? And highly of myself? Nah, I've been having a healthy sex life for 15 yrs...I'm just confident in my abilities.
You're the one coming off highly of themselves. Like we should care that you get bothered by sex between 2 or more consenting adults.
Like, where do folks like you get this entitlement? That you can tell the rest of us what to do? Leave us alone. Leave others alone. Maybe worry about the pastors and government officials raping kids?
High horse riding.
Whatever you say. I'm done with this childishness. There are valid concerns on all sides, but the attitudes since my initial rather fair comment have been utter shit, and so I'm done here.
I've always wondered about people who use the word "anymore" like you do. Can I ask where you're from?
Yeah I've noticed that too. I'd never seen someone use "anymore" for something they do currently until the last year or so.
I found this, which you might also find interesting!

I hate it tbh
You're right, I hate it, but I am indeed from New England so that makes sense. I also hate the "it needs fixed" construction, it should be "it needs to be fixed".
No, sorry. I already reveal more about myself than I should through my various comments.
It might be the endgame at this point, who knows. We're currently at "actors doing plays and people watching plays might become illegal".
One of the parasite class' main objectives has always been to make female orgasm illegal (and male orgasm, for anyone in the wrong social class).
You would seriously give your partner permanent brain damage?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9201570/
That is a seriously problematic study with few controls and a small sample size.
Pilots regularly train in for hypoxia in hyperbaric chambers, losing consciousness repeatedly to train.
Consent and education are important, but safely engaging in breath play is very unlikely to give your partner brain damage.
Yes but no. You're not supposed to lose consciousness during those trainings. Generally if you do, it's a failure and you have to do it again. The point is to be able to recognize hypoxia and respond before you lose consciousness.
This is patently false. It cause brain death period. Perhaps you can argue it is not that big of a deal because of the brains ability to rewire itself once you have destroyed a portion of it
People do all kinds a bad activities for the brain so this is really nothing new.
One person's breath play (so gross to minimize it this way) is another person's sexual violence.
Edit: I would also like to point out frequency. The frequency of preferred sexual activity dwarfs the training you are talking about. Seems like a convenient and not thought out excuse.
Well, yeah, all forms of sex without consent are rape. This isn't really saying anything.
I think you don't get that the majority of women getting choked never gave consent. The extreme minority of people who do this consensually are just that.
What is happening is a lot of men choking women because they can and women putting up with it.
This is also similar to everyone knows a women who has been raped but no one knows a rapist.
You're replying to a thread that explicitly says it's being done consentually. This is a non-sequiter.
You don't solve non-consentual actions by complaining about two people doing the same thing consentually.
Go read the thread from the beginning. Sorry if I got off topic and triggered your misogyny.
Glad you can recognize you changed the topic.
Discussing issues of consent is valuable and important. Doing so because two adult's consentual acts make you uncomfortable is unhelpful and actively harmful because you're conflating consentual and non-consentual actions.
Trivializing this as making me uncomfortable is disingenuous. You should be ashamed of this gross and incorrect simplification.
