Is partial hanging really painless?

[idfwlnh]

I've seen people talking about almost all method is somewhat painful, but I had just read How to hang yourself thread which says:
" This method is very lethal and quick (quick from your perspective anyway, as you black out within seconds), but if you're found in time and 'saved' you can end up with serious brain damage and/or be left a vegetable. "
It sounds peaceful with almost no pain here, so just wondering. Most media includes complete hanging shows the person struggling for quite a while before being blocked out.

I've been testing this method (unsuccessfully of course lol) but at times I've gotten to the point where I can tell my carotid arteries are blocked enough. In my experience it was painful, but not like crazy amounts of pain. Its more of like an discomfort kind of pain then anything else.

Be sure to know that failed attempts with hanging have grave consequences. Going long amounts of time with cerebral hypoxia and living makes life a living hell. Don't just do this in the whim of the moment.

Like any method it has its own drawbacks and it's not perfect. It's only peaceful with almost no pain if perfectly executed, and it's def a skill that has to be learned.

In theory, a good execution will be almost painless besides the initial discomfort like @apearl has mentioned, but after that because there will be no oxygen = no consciousness = no pain (simplified).

But it does require a lot of force. If you hesitate or it doesn't work, you can read many threads on here that describe how it feels (shitty, dizzy, confused, tired)

I doubt there is a way to learn and cope with that feeling of discomfort, right?

 

[endboss]

I think that you really really have to want to die to make most methods work..

Nothing u can really do, as it will always be unpleasant to compress an artery. But if you can practice somewhere, you will get used to the feeling and you won't panic as much overtime. But this won't happen in a day or a week probably

Its gonna be painful, not as much as other methods. The thing is if you do it right you'll pass out quick enough so do your research and dont be impulsive

 

[c4di]

it doesn't feel exactly "painful", just really uncomfortable

 

[overthrone]

theres really no ctb method that isnt painful (save for maybe a self-inflicted gunshot wound) but i know that hanging isnt painless

 

[Claymore7274]

it's not painless, but honestly it's not that bad, really depends on your pain tolerance

 

[lament.]

For me there is no pain but the discomfort and numbness is pretty much unbearable, those 2 factors are realistically the only reasons why I am alive right now and why I hesitate to keep trying. Worth saying that the setup definitely has to be near perfect to achieve an extremely fast knock-out time, which is what it is really.

I'm also struggling with my setup, can't figure it out to make myself pass out, I tried so many ways and idk what I'm doing wrong

 

[wishmaster9]

The headaches from getting it wrong during practice are way worse than getting it right, if that makes sense.
If you don't have an extremely low pain tolerance I think you'll be fine.
Personally my menstrual cramps hurt way more than this lmao.

No form of hanging is 100% painless lol.

Yes. I am someone who has tried many times and it really does depend on if you're blocking the right artery.

The first like 10 times I tried, were incredibly painful and felt like I was deadweight to my neck. Like I was being crushed in the neck by some wwe dude. It caused cells upper my skin to pop from the lack of oxygen. Terrible experience.

However when I had to right spot for the first time. I felt super light headed, it is scary but yes as painless as you can get for what you're doing. You visions blurs instantly. However for me, I failed because my body understood and my legs pushed upwards n made me forcibly stand up. I would describe it as when you have low iron, and you stand up too quickly. (I believe the struggle comes from your body involuntarily convulsing like I had done. You don't necessarily feel it, it's more of a muscle spasm unless you are actually suffocating. Then you will see a lot of panic.)

I have been practicing doing it 'right' all afternoon yesterday. I have tried carbon monoxide, woke up really sweaty, it was like waking up to a nightmare, f*CK I'm here still!. I'll be doing this today with women's stockings and a toilet paper for pressing the 'sweet spot' by tightening the stockings with a toothbrush until it's tight enough and hopefully no exploding head feeling (I just release the pressure by unrolling with the toothbrush). All I have to do is simulate a chock hold. I can't fail today, my neck have scars now from practising . Hopefully I sleep today a bit looooong. Sorry about my bad English.

Do you think you could replicate it again? I'm having serious doubts if it would work for me. I just got my nylon rope (I haven't cut it yet – will be doing that in a few days) and been experimenting with it. Like, I've tied a noose knot and placed it above my Adam's apple. Then, I started pulling the rope, which made me feel like I was losing oxygen, but I could still breathe. I haven't reached the point of blacking out. It's the same when I press my carotid arteries with my fingers.

I'm planning on using the technique of kneeling upright and then shifting my weight down. Did you do something similar?

Also, do you know, is it the intent for the knot to constrict or is it the intent that the rope gets tighter as you shift your weight?

It's been awhile since I've tried if I'm honest, but I think I would have to get lucky to hit the same spot again. But not impossible. It came unexpectedly but it was not unpleasant for me. I didn't immediately feel the "my heads about to burst feeling." Which is what many do when they try to hang but immediately feel like their being strangled.
it's not meant to immediately constrict your airways, that's how you end up tapping out too early on. That hurts immensely so I suggest strongly to do partial in case you make any mistakes with positioning.

I used a cheap rope with clothing padding so that I didn't get rope burn. This also helps to press on your arteries. I tried my best to place padding where I felt my heartbeat on both sides on my neck. I was a bit lifted from the ground. I made my know a bit higher (I'm 5ft) so I would be forced to be slightly levitating in a kneeling position. So it was slightly above an Adam's apple.

As you relax yourself and go down your rope should tighten with the feeling of losing consciousness. If you feel that your head is going to burst or that you are uncomfortably tight early on, you're not doing it right. You should feel your body lose energy, since I was slightly suspended my body swayed a bit.

of course this took my constant attempts and many failed blackout attempts. If you succeed, you will go out very quickly just like other people describe. It is important you bind your legs or hands when you're ready. Ur body will fight back even if you feel alright. It's just human instinct for it to fight or stand up to prevent you from dying.

Most have blacked out in the first 7-10 seconds, the struggle are brain sending every bit of signal to muscle to fight back. When done right it wasn't really "painful" but rather a very uncomfortable feeling on the neck before being blacked out.

Just to clarify, you were essentially tugging the rope by constantly shifting your weight up and down until you blacked out?
