The line I tend to draw is that I allow, but do not particularly appreciate, the provision of safety information in comments, if the info strikes me as accurate and non-judgmental. Under this standard, Pat, your first comment was fine. Les crossed the line by providing wrong info in a way that struck me as both judgmental and condescending. A couple of subsequent commenters (both first-timers) didn’t make the cut, with explicitly judgmental comments asserting that this sort of play was too dangerous for anybody — essentially, attempting to impose their safety opinions on the rest of us.

Les, you’re wrong. A noose can be simply “a loop in the end of a rope or cord” — look it up.

It would be correct to say this is not a hangman’s noose — which has the characteristic you describe. But, of course, nobody said different.

Once a noose is put under tension, it snugs up and almost becomes a 1 way knot. Play around with one some time. Nooses REALLY don’t want to let go.

I don’t like the neck thing to begin with, but that would take it way too far. After all, a suffocating submissive likely won’t be able to safeword. That trembling and kicking WON’T be an orgasm.
