Actually, there may be another component to it. Some people get their sexual "kick" from self-asphyxiation during sexual activity or masturbation. That may be it too.

We did it in highschool... not sure if it's eactly the same way. Same concept of depriving your brain of oxygen.

How we did it was bending over at the knees taking fast, deep breaths, getting as much blood to the head as possible, then you stand up as quickly as possible against a wall, hold your breath and have a friend press on your chest as hard as they can with both hands.

You pass out for up to ten seconds. Very stupid.

THIS is why they should just go ahead and legalize drugs. No matter what, kids are going to find ways to get themselves ****ed up. Choking is the new huffing?

Bet choking yourself like that kills more brain cells than pot.

Considering pot doesn't kill brain cells, I'd say that's a good bet.

What make you guys think its any different now than it has ever been?

I always hear stories from my dad when he was growing up, and the **** they used to do was way more risky than anything I or my friends have done...
