Warning

This is tie is advanced edge play since it breaks the often quoted caveat of not tying around the neck. Common sense needs to be applied:

• When experimenting and learning, always seek constant feedback. Listen and react promptly.
• Always ensure you have a safe means of cutting the rope, e.g. EMT shears, safety hook cutter. I emphasise 'safe' since you would likely to be cutting in the neck area if anything goes wrong.
• Ensure your partner is comfortable with this sort of play. Some people are triggered by anything around the neck.
• Never tie the rope off in a way that could cause strangulation in the event of a fall or fainting.
• Always carefully monitor breathing and reactions.
• Unless you are already very experienced in breath play, do not apply any additional techniques.
• Never leave anyone alone in bondage, especially ties like this which cause breathing difficulty.
• If you are in any doubt: DON'T DO IT!
