Are you expecting some kind of rational answer? A fetish or kink is basically defined by the sexual desire for something irrational. You can ask how that desire feels to possess or how one goes about playing out that desire in a safe consentual way... but you can't really ask why, why doesn't really come into it. It is sex, all of it is weird.
I am, in fact. People can be extremely coherent explaining why something floats their boat and some other thing does not.
Feet, ankles, legs, tits, ass, pork and beans, ballons, clowns, wiped cream, chips, dips, chains and wips...
Most people can explain why something appeals to them.
But what I specifically want is a rationalization for why choking as become such a mainstream fetish lately.
I guess for any fetish, this many people have always had it. Since it's easier now to find others that enjoy it, they're more comfortable talking about it openly?
Are you asking what the appeal of it is or why is it popular?
At this point, both.
