PETA is watching, Cobalt.
And God is watching.
Oh, wait, Brandon IS God.

Brandon, would it bother you if maybe some young naive kid out there tried to re-enact one of your choking scenes and harmed his girlfriend or loved one by accident? Re-enactments of things people see on tv have been known to happen in the past... for example, the mtv show 'jackass' led to people re-enacting their stunts with ill consequences. Also, I wanted to know if you think that if you had some kind of disclaimer, that people wouldn't still try to re-enact the choking anyway?.. and if so, would it possibly bother you then if someone were to get hurt?

And you still haven't refuted the earlier suggestion. The defense offered for this strangling stuff is worthless precisely because it can be used to justify anything. That means it really justifies nothing .

Incidentally it is illegal to sell footage of these strangulation games in my country, so far from being "insecure with legal sex acts" I'm looking at your money spinner from a totally different vantage point. Your "I don't have to justify my movies" comment is very revealing.

Back to the smoothing over from adult's favourite set visitor...

I love it when people get emotional and bat the little "anger ball" back and forth. It's cute.

Are there some specific scenes or titles directed by Brandon that feature choking? And by that I mean actual choking?

Or is this a rhetorical discussion?

I'm looking, but... nope, can't see this anger ball anywhere. Brandon must be bouncing it off the heads of his "talent". Me? I'm playing with the amusement ball.

Specifics are a pointless game, since ideas are the only thing really worth discussion. Please don't fall into the trap of playing with anecdotes. The strangling defense that "the market demands it" has been refuted, but no subsequent argument has been offered. Maybe there isn't one...

Specifics are EVERYTHING, especially with these kinds of accusatory/inflammatory topics.

Facts support opinions. Otherwise, you're just popping your jawbone.

I'm just saying, where are these strangling videos?

Some people misguidedly try to use random "facts" to support their opinions. Statistics are the only useful tool in that game, not pointless anecdotes.

You're doing more than just yapping on here?! Congrats to you.

I'm not sure if you're referring at all to what I wrote, but here's a reply nonetheless.

I think it's fucked up (a personal taste) and extremely dangerous (in a broader sense).

What this means is that since I don't like it, I don't buy it. If you want to do this, as long as it's clearly marked on the boxcover so I don't have to see it, go for it . There are worse things happening in the world today for me to get upset over.

However, I am also a social Darwinist at heart, so if someone is stupid enough (sorry, claiming naievette is no defence) to agree to get choked, and dies or gets brain damage, then it's no skin off my nose. They took the risk and get to live (or not) with the consequences. The same applies to the choker, whether it's you or anyone else.

Turn up the INXS cd next time you do a scene, and give old Michael an on-screen salute for me, Brandon

HOW far can the really rough, nasty stuff go before the state or feds get involved?
Why can't the girls retaliate, (slap back, choke the male)?
It would make for a great scene. Women are not the passive, submissive pieces of meat that porn makes them out to be. Daisy in Internally Yours 3 proves that resistance ups the excitement bar.

In fact, I am ... thanks!

What I'm trying to do, since it's a thread about choking scenes, is to have anyone provide a shortlist of these scenes from any recent porn films as an example of the trend.

I don't know what is anecdotal about that, in fact it is statistical.

When posters go on campaigns against this or that, but offer scarces examples, it doesn't do much for their argument. If you want to argue about cream pies, that makes a lot more sense because it's easy to list titles and performers involved. The choking issue seems like a non-issue to me because I really don't know of many examples of it -- if anything you WON'T see much of it because it's the sort of thing distributors don't like. And if it does happens, produces tend to edit the stuff out. That's all I'm saying. If you want to debate its merits as a sex practice, fine. But as no one seems to have any clue of which titles contain this act (other than Lazenby's one citation), I'll just presume this is a "sex talk" topic that's been misplaced.

I'm surprised Luke and AC Cream haven't jumped in. This is right up their alley

You seem to have not quite grasped what constitutes anecdotal evidence. It would be possible to list a few scenes which contain what looks to my eyes like unsafe hand squeezing of a performer's neck, but so what. I haven't watched anywhere near a decent sized percentage of the total of American gonzo to make that list worthwhile, and neither in all likelihood has anyone else in this thread. So it would be meaningless data. Pointless anecdotal evidence. This is not what is meant by statistics. If that's all you're after take a look at the BBFC website where they list imagery removed from titles due to it contravening our laws (assuming the producer didn't already remove it prior to submission).

Again, I have to ask, is "the market demands it" really the only play your boy's gonna pull? That one's already been dismissed. Lets have something better. The follow up of "I don't have a problem with it so neither should anyone else" was just laughable.

Where's Meinhagen or <shameless> or even Druber when you need them, with their inner beauty radiating for all to see. They could come and take over from you...

Go to the left navigation bar. Click "Browse Reviews." Search for "choke" in "Review text." Results returned: 854. Not all "choke" references are for asphyxiation-type activities, but some sure sound like they are. Have fun sorting through. Here were two from the first half-dozen listings; I don't have the time or stomach to read through 848 more.

Actually, I don't know that the market demands it at all. I have yet to see a thread demanding "More choking of girls." It seems like a performer-driven phenomenon to me. In my rather anecdotal experiences as a viewer. As for Brandon, you'd have to ask him.
Wow -- thanks for the love, Lee!
Since YogaDame thoughtfully replied with what I had requested, I am done. See, I'm trying to help you, Lee, so you can muster a stronger argument with statistics , even! <shameless> would never do that. I just weary of the barrage of invective that would never pass muster in a high school debate class. Facts, facts, facts. That's my thing. I guess I'm passe. Oh well. Have fun sparring with Brandon. You guys are perfect for each other.

You're welcome for the love, and indeed right back at ya. My post mirrored your own pretty well I thought, sorry if you can't see that for yourself. Your help looked too much like yet another "why are you watching it if you don't like it" or maybe "don't watch it if you don't like it" attempt. Never seen one of those laid down before. Have you ?

Once more incase you didn't see it in the previous posts - no anecdotal evidence please. It shows nothing except that chocking exists, which we already knew. Thank you.

Why Choke and strangle a Whore when you can sit on there
faces.This is the New Wave thing for me!It goes from a BJ,
to rimming;and then I squat my Cruddy Ass on there pretty
faces.This new technique of fun is a more enjoyable form
of Degradation without the violent conotation of strangling
a Girl for sexual exhileration.These Girls are letting me
do it;so there is no guilt factor to be addressed.Thats
until someone says..."Stop squatting on my daughters face"!

I can think of two examples of what I would considered 'scary" choking scenes: one with Belladonna and one with Boo. They were both made to pass out several times, with seemingly resultant orgasms and expressions of intense pleasure. Both these scenes involved Mark Davis, who was the main performer people pointed to when they decried choking scenes. Dumb Blonde especially made a point of this, and in fact I think that one of the scenes was reedited for furture releases of the movie to remove the choking. There was a huge thread about this 2 years ago (or so).

Really, truly, since that time I can't think if any scenes that involve real choking. A lot of what there is looks to be more for "show." Perhaps that is anecdotal. I would hope someone might enlighten us with a first-hand commentary on their experiences in such scenes. Then we might actually get somewhere.

I don't watch nearly the porn that RLD Fiend does.

I just think there are far worse things to argue about in regard to performer safety (cream pies, etc.). And that's why I think it's more of a sex talk topic: YogaDame does a much better job of convincing me it's a dangerous practice, Lee, because she cites scientific/medical data that is FACTUAL. I'm not gonna listen to rhetoric. Sorry.

If you were to read my older posts Brandon, I'm sure you would see the irony in my original questions. Your in the same position as Max Hardcore and Mason in that your in a difficult postition to defend.. I expected a good arguement from your part on this issue but since you are not up to the task, I will make it for you. It's free choice people, these girls aren't harmed and many enjoy the rough treatment or don't mind it. When did I realize that I was so different in thinking from others in the world? I once witnessed a pimp threatening to slice up his whore and thought to myself.. "oh my god!.. I have to do something about this, that woman is in dire need of help" turns out that I was nieve, after talking to many people who grew up in "the Hood", I discovered that if I had come between the pimp and his whore that the whore would likely take sides with the pimp against me and that I was the one who would be most likely to get sliced up. What's the point of this story?... porn stars are not so helpless as you might think based on what your senses are telling you. They in fact have more control then the pimp/whore scenario and they can walk away at any time... those who say they are bullied or they don't know what they are getting into when they signed up for a rough scene are full of shit. How many rough scenes has Jenna Jamison done?.. none because she wouldn't do them. Is she smarter then other porn stars or does she have different sexual interests and/or limitations then others. The answer is the latter.. she is not smarter nor is she even better looking then many of the women who do this stuff and Melissa Lauren is a prime example since she is much better looking then Jenna and has demanded rough sex from the actors in many of her films. I also think that Melissa is at least on the same intelligence level as Jenna, she speaks at least 3 different languages in fact... that's not easy to do folks, it requires some intellect.

This topic will always re-surface but it only requires people to step outside themselves and imagine that there are people in the world with different sexual fetishes. For example, I will never understand the appeal of gay sex anymore then most of you will understand the appeal of choking in porn. The people who practice this stuff on film or at home are adults who know that they will go to prison and get raped in the ass if they accidentally go to far and harm or kill someone. The person on the receiving end knows that it could mean their life if it gets out of control. It will not stop no matter how much bitching anyone does since it is a real fetish that both men and women enjoy exploring... so stop wasting your time. Your welcome Brandon for my help in defending what you do for a living... I personally have no problem with it as long as no one actually gets hurt.

Yikes.....I hate choking in porn, but I don't trust anyone to "ban" anything like this from porn. What consenting adults do on camera is not for the Gov (No matter which "side" is in charge) to decide.

I think this is best left to the film makers themselves. When I see a movie that keeps this sort of stuff out of the mix then I'm going to let everyone know it. People who hate it can support that project and let the market drive the content.

In the meantime boards like this one help producers gauge how many people love this stuff and how many people hate it.

Both sides need to speak up and let producers know what they are looking for and keep forced censorship out of it.

Just my 2 cents....

The musings of porn fans in their reviews would be admissible as evidence in a court of law?! Say what? Yoga posts some medical studies from time to time which decry the use of choking during sex, as has Lindi, and I believe Blondie too. Do you really need me to post another one for you to realise the prevailing view of the medical establishment on this issue? I don't get that.

TLTycoon, I'm sorry you have such a negative body image. Hopefully one of these girls will convince you there's nothing wrong with your ass - unless there really is something wrong of course!

Here is an interesting discussion by a forensic psychiatrist, including a case study of 15 living practitioners of hypoxyphilia (sexual arousal produced while reducing oxygen supply to the brain). In my opinion, this article is nonjudgmental, but realistic in its assessment of the risks. It also addresses certain lesser-known issues like the association between hypoxyphilia and mood/anxiety disorders.
"Hypoxyphilia/Auto-erotic Asphyxia"

For what it's worth, I actually agree with green-toke in the following sense. I think it'd be very difficult to ban this type of activity, and I'm not even advocating that it should be banned. As stated in the article, most people who practice paraphilias are very attached to their means of sexual gratification. Mostly, I'm just expressing frustration about repeatedly witnessing certain acts in porn and feeling mildly traumatized by them. It doesn't seem like I should have to shield myself by reading several reviews beforehand, just to prevent exposure to very unpleasant visuals by accident. But I do. Earlier this week, I was watching a movie from an unfamiliar studio. It initially gave no indication that it would move into something rough. But it did.

Violet Blue, the author of The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, wrote a recent commentary on the BDSM trend in porn over the last few years. She's been a professional porn reviewer for eight years, so I tend to trust her familiarity with the subject, and her perspective.

Sounds like a free trip. You confused me with your use of the word "degradation" to describe girl on TLTycoon-butt action. Wouldn't degradation normally describe getting someone to do something they didn't want to do?

The old adage of "don't watch it if you don't like it" has become increasingly difficult with avoiding choking if you intend watching any American gonzo at all. Shane's World were recommended to me by MLyons as a great studio with a healthy respect for their women. Guess I just picked out the one title which abandoned that philosophy... :(

Look up the word in a dictionary. It's not about the loss of free will.

This doesn't mean that some women have been forced/coerced/manipulated into doing degrading things. It certainly can happen. But, non-consent is not a prerequisite.

I enjoy a lot of degrading sex acts in my private life, but, none have ever been forced upon me. A lot of times, I have begged and pleaded for such acts to be done to me by men who just weren't down for the program. And that was cool, because I respected their boundaries.

Degrading a humiliating; lowering one's self-respect.

Do these acts you enjoy really lower your self respect? If not they probably aren't truly degrading. At least, not for you. Which was why I was amazed TLTycoon thought his ass would be degrading to a girl.

I somehow missed the flood of DVDs which are full of sensuality, competence and emotions.
Well if cold hate is also an emotion, then one criteria is fulfilled, but I think cold hate is compatible with BDSM.

I think the problem is that you feel sorry for the wrong people. I'm doing just fine, thank you very much.

However, I do admire your concern for the performers' health and agree with many of your points. I myself will no longer shoot cream pies, no matter if they're vaginal or anal, and I let everyone around me know my feelings about shooting such acts. I have spoken to other directors and studio heads, asking them to reconsider shooting cream pies. I have also stopped shooting people being choked out.

If your intent is to gain as much support as possible, maybe you should rethink your approach. You are pushing a lot of potential supporters aside with your attitude.

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, and again, admire your intentions.

If it the lowering is during the act/session this is O.K., if at the end of the day/session the self respect is "restored".

I agree. Frankly some of my latter posts in this thread were probably just arguing for it's own sake. Sorry 'bout that. Guess my Nan was right!

I'm glad you don't shoot anal (or vag) cream pies anymore, and that you've spoken to people about stopping what looks to be an unnecessarily dangerous practice. Please know however that I hold out no hope - none whatsoever - of convincing any of the long time supporters of this act to change their views. It's fun to argue with some of the more outlandish analogies, and that in turn helps to bump the thread and keep up the likelihood of other forum readers (lurkers I guess) seeing some information they may have not have previously been in possession of. Maybe they will take that information on board, and maybe they won't. That's the best I can hope for.

Unfortunately you have a habit of repeatedly editing your posts, but, yes, in essence you did.
As usual medical texts have elicited no response from the pro choking fellas. Why would I want to throw any more down that black hole? Incidentally, I agree that Yoga is the nicest individual to have posted in this thread. Guess I'll just have to play with my "anger ball" . At least it's cute. Snarkery and condescension indeed...

+1 for the stopping of choking/strangling.

don't care whether the girl is happy to do it not. can't remember the last time a saw a pretty girl and thought "I'd love to choke her".

ENOUGH!!!
