An escort has issued an urgent warning about a potentially deadly bedroom trend that is becoming popular with couples.
Katija Cortez, 29, from Sydney, Australia, was only a teenager when she first experienced the ‘scary’ sex act in an unexpected move from her partner.
Now she says those who like to spice things up in the bedroom should avoid choking—a common kink that’s known to increase the risk of lethal brain damage.The Australian sex worker has said she has seen a surge in requests for the act and believes this is a result of men watching it in porn.
‘When I was younger, a lot of guys had started doing it, which I think definitely came from seeing it in porn. Choking during porn is very, very common,’ she told news.com.au.
She stressed couples should clearly communicate beforehand to be as safe as possible.
‘Just like movies, porn stars are trained professionals working in controlled environments where many things are all agreed upon beforehand. Even porn actors discuss dos and don’ts before a scene,’ she said.
She added: ‘It needs to be understood that this particular kink can be scary and should not be done without asking.
