Strangulation during sex is not kinky - it's dangerous and misogynistic
For feminist campaigners against domestic and sexual violence, it is no surprise that a recent Government review has found that online pornography that features choking is affecting the sexual practices of young people. The report by Baroness Bertin, entitled 'Creating a Safer World – the Challenge of Regulating Online Pornography', states that: 'Non-fatal strangulation (NFS) or 'choking' sex is perhaps the starkest example of where online violent pornography has changed 'offline' behaviour.' When I first started looking at pornography, as a young feminist determined to understand what I was campaigning against, it ranged from 'soft' Page 3 images to the infamous cover image of Hustler Magazine where a woman is being put head first through a meat grinder. Those images seem quaint today. Gone are the days of the ripped plumber coming to fix the washing machine who is greeted by the housewife in a negligée. The world of contemporary online pornography is more violent and extreme. And it is not just passively consumed; it also drives sexual fantasies and practices. Its ready accessibility to young boys and girls, moreover, means that it also passes for sex education. This month the Institute for Addressing Strangulation (IFAS) received Home Office funding to conduct a survey of 2,344 UK-based adults. It found that half of those who had experienced strangulation said they had consented. 17 per cent said they had not. A whopping 38 per cent of the women respondents aged 18-39 had been choked during sex. Strangulation as a sex kink has even entered popular culture. Just look at the lyrics of Jack Harlow's 2023 number one hit 'Lovin On Me': 'I'm vanilla, baby/ I'll choke you, but I ain't no killa, baby'. Perpetrators who choke their partners are seven times more likely to kill them. Strangulation is more than a precursor to homicide – it is also a predictor. But whether he stops in time or not, permanent damage has often been done. Some women have died weeks later due to internal injuries. Others suffer from traumatic brain injury, significant memory loss, miscarriage, seizures and changes in mood or personality that lead to agitation and hypervigilance. There have long been calls to decriminalise serious acts of violence on the basis of 'consent'. In 1990, 16 gay men were convicted following the 'Operation Spanner' police investigation. Police uncovered a group of sado-masochistic gay men who were inflicting actual bodily harm on each other. These men (and their supporters) campaigned against this criminalisation on the grounds that it was all consensual. Feminists, including myself, had argued that this argument was very dangerous because one defence commonly used by domestic abusers is that their victims had consented to 'rough sex'. Feminist campaign group We Can't Consent To This found that between 1996 and 2016 there was a tenfold increase in 'rough sex' claims used by men to defend themselves after killing a female partner in bed. Between November 2019 and March 2020, UK courts heard of 15 female victims where 'rough sex' claims were made. The latest Femicide Census shows that 550 (27 per cent) of the 2,000 women killed in the UK since 2014 were victims of strangulation. The invocation of 'consent' is nonsense. Strangulation kills. The pornography that pedals the message that women enjoy being choked during sex is insidious. It is a dangerous and misogynistic practice. This issue is not about 'freedom' or 'choice'. It is about the safety of women.

A Photo Of Jack Harlow Alone On Valentine's Day Is Going Viral, And The Discourse Is Very Relatable
Jack Harlow's most recent dinner date has the internet talking. Jni / GC Images, Lexie Moreland / WWD via Getty Images On Feb. 14, aka Valentine's Day — the day when chocolate, candy, and flower sales skyrocket — Jack surprised everyone when he was spotted a very popular New York restaurant. In a photo shared by Pop Crave, the "Lovin' On Me" rapper was seen dining at the iconic French bistro in SoHo, Balthazar. If you remember, it's the same restaurant that James Corden was banned from for being what the owner described as the "most abusive customer" and "extremely nasty." Fortunately, the owner later claimed that James apologized and that everything had been forgiven. Celebrities hit up hot spots like Balthazar all the time, but this particular sighting went viral because Jack was riding solo... on Valentine's Day. (See the photo here.) Lexie Moreland / WWD via Getty Images Honestly, the "What's Poppin" rapper looked at peace sitting there solo, and I can't help but think he's a creative genius who's indirectly promoting his latest single (pun intended), "Set You Free," which just dropped on Feb. 12. In "Set You Free," he literally starts the verse off, "I want to be alone / more than ever / Less free time / more endeavors / Less romance, get more cheddar." On Jan. 8, Jack released "Tranquility," so it's fair to say that this new rollout has a theme. On Feb. 13, Jack also posted on his X account about a time he was majorly curbed by date and received "2 hugs" and no kiss — so the atmosphere for a solo date was set several days prior. Whatever the reason Jack was 🎶 all by myself 🎶 at Balthazar may be, the viral image generated interesting discourse online, with some people making obvious jokes and plenty of others supporting his choice and sharing their sentiments. Some people joked that he wasn't alone and was waiting for them to arrive from the bathroom or traffic. Disney / Twitter: @Will25800 And a lot of people supported Jack's "quality me time" and brought up great points about normalizing doing activities on your own: "Nothing wrong with enjoying your own company sometimes, it's the best choice," one person wrote. "Shoutout to Jack Harlow for not being afraid to have a meal by yourself. Especially on Valentine's Day. As someone who does stuff solo all of the time, it's pretty nice." — u/Chessh2036 Another person wrote, "This is a boss move. Shows how much he loves himself." "Going out to a restaurant by yourself is genuinely so good. People need to stop judging and go do it. Edit to add: if you haven't done it, go to a movie by yourself as well. It's ok to do things alone that people typically associate with groups." — u/WrongVisit3757 Redditor u/princedubacon perfectly summed up their support with an iconic Donna Meagle from Parks and Rec quote: — u/princedubacon "I used to feel really self conscious about it. Now my main joy in life is going to yum cha by myself and eating a whole lot of dumplings and drinking tea and reading a book." — u/azaerl "Looks like Jack Harlow is enjoying some quality 'me time' on Valentine's Day in NYC!" this person wrote. Another person suggested we "Leave bro alone 😭😭😭 he's just like us." And finally, this person wrote, "Normalize eating out alone. Cuz this shouldn't even be news or anything serious." Do you think there are benefits to "enjoying your own company" and doing activities alone? Let's talk about it in the comments. I'll go first: I went to a three-day music festival two years ago by myself, and I used to be a person who couldn't go grocery shopping at Trader Joe's alone. It was the most nerve-wracking and liberating experience, and it felt great that I was finally experiencing life based on my schedule and not others. It also led to a fun brief romance at a Kim Petras set.
