In May 2025, News.com.au ran an article about risks associated with the rising interest in sexual choking. The article was syndicated in the New York Post.
This article will be useful to people engaging in, or considering engaging in sexual choking, as well as service providers and healthcare providers working with people engaging in, or considering engaging in sexual choking.
It includes commentary from Jackie McMillan, Senior Project Officer at Women’s Health NSW, who emphasised that when sexual choking is considered to be normal and routine, it can become decoupled from the health and safety risks associated with it.
