A lot of the time they're not really 'partaking in strangulation for the kicks.' When I was a teenager a guy kissed me for a few minutes/seconds maybe and immediately choked me without warning after starting to kiss. I wasn't exactly able to say anything about it because I was shocked and also being choked, obviously. I didn't continue seeing that guy after that, but he did it so casually I thought I was the weird one for not feeling OK with it. I told a female friend afterwards and she laughed and acted like it was normal. It took a few months to admit to myself that it wasn't, and by that time I was no longer in contact with the man in question.

I don't think it makes sense to blame the teenage girls who are being made to believe this is as normal as hugging or kissing.

A guy once forced me onto the dance floor against my will, I detached one of his testicles - my friends still laugh about it. I’m glad you’re okay.

Not a funny joke.
