A Eurovision song repeatedly uses the phrase “choke me.”

We object to the normalisation of violence against women.

We’ve created a short video in rapid response:

1999: #MarilynManson says he enjoys strangling women during sex, for the thrill of potentially killing or causing them serious harm.

He also says that it was "a shame" the band did not get an opportunity to rape a 14 year old runaway girl on tour.

Thank you to Sima Kotecha/ BBC for this piece on strangulation during sex, and for highlighting our research on prevalence and prior consent.

At IFAS, our position is that there is #NoSafeWayToStrangle and that all risks, regardless of context, need to be understood.
'He strangled me without asking': The dangers of choking during sex
Experts say it is increasingly filtering into real life as a result of frequent depiction in porn.

‘Consent’ is a red herring, here. Ersatz ‘consent’ is easy enough to manufacture, coerce &/or extract through lack of risk awareness. One can’t consent to criminal harm

There’s #NoSafeWayToStrangle, no matter what one calls it ('choking')

The Institute for Addressing Strangulation (IFAS) (@InstituteFAS on Twitter / X) is doing some mythbusting for the #16DaysOfActivism.

On day 2 they bust the myth about how much pressure is required for strangulation to be harmful
