Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.

Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.

    Pilots train for hypoxia in hyperbaric chambers, repeatedly losing consciousness to train.

    I question the claim that the brain needs to rewire itself because of massive cell death.

      Football players take regular hits to the head repeatedly as well.

      This isn’t really a claim in the way you are stating it.

      Are you surprised the brain is so good at rewiring itself due to cell death? Perhaps it is so good it that it doesn’t really matter?

      Unfortunately we have a lot of TBI people that seem to suggest otherwise.

        You know that’s an entirely different physical process, right? CTE happens because the brain is being smashed into the inside of the brain case.

          Uh yeah, but brain cell death is brain cell death whether it is caused by a concussion or lack of oxygen.
