Sexual choking has become increasingly normalized among young people, largely driven by media, pornography, and peer norms. Although often framed as consensual, breath‐control practices are physiologically unpredictable and can cause rapid loss of ...
“Once consciousness is lost, consent cannot be given or verified.”
Well, yeah no shit. Consent before engagement is consent understanding the potential consequences. Not giving consent prior to losing consciousness is typically called rape. It’s late and I’m tired so correct me if I’m wrong.
Normally, sure. But these days, legalese can turn it into implied consent depending on court, judge, jury, accused and accuser.
It’s circumstantial and there will be arguers for both cases. So it won’t be a clear win in every case.
(just in case, I didn’t read much past the statement in my first comment) I interpreted that sentence as an in-the-moment situation, leaving judgement and biases out. If someone dies from breath play with unwritten/unrecorded consent there’s (typically) one other person present and no recordings, so it’s their word against the defense.
There’s plenty of times where someone has been choked during sexual interaction, didn’t give consent, and never speaks of it again. Some cases (unfortunately) don’t stop there.
If you want to be a pedant about it, that’s typically considered “assisted suicide” or “do not resuscitate”, rather than “killing” which is a bit different.

Any sort of breathplay to the point of unconsciousness is incredibly dangerous and unsafe.
If it can kill you, it ain’t play.

You can’t consent to being killed, of course
Wait, you can’t?
I mean you would need it in writing I guess.
Not in common law countries at least (except for where they have medical suicide exceptions)
That would include all forms of medical euthenasia
