Method Cant find my sweet spot

[chaewon]

I have been trying to locate my carotids using resources here and my own research and yet failing, i have attempted Ligature Strangulation in perfect conditions home alone more than once - thick shoe lace, proper padding,and proper knots and yet nothing but that exploding head feeling which apparently means im squeezing a different artery? I also saw under threads people say that their sweat spot was actually under their Adams apple, while others say it was way above / directly under their jaw, for me I feel a "pulsing blob" in both but i just cant get myself to even feel about to pass out from squeezing it or the shoe lace. The closest I have got to passing away was probably right above my adams apple (to the point where when I swallow the shoelace slides down then back up) and it took a minute after the exploding head feeling to just have muffled voice and hearing.

I have probably tried this 20 times so far and have only gotten the exploding head. Can anyone that had this and was able to overcome it tell me how? I have a pretty lean skinny neck but I am afraid maybe im not applying enough pressure even though i have tried my best and tightest. I am also worried if I got any damage from my attempts and reckless testings where I hope it just goes right this time.

Also I am thinking of getting an Ultrasound Scan or MRI or whatever would show my artery anatomy around my neck area to locate them exactly. And because I have READ under a thread that the poster of the ligature strangulation method called it BS and CTB using FSH i am also leaving that as a last resort.

Same here. If it had worked I'd already be gone, that's the case with most people who have found their "sweet spot" or whatever.
Apparently the exploding head thing means you are occluding the veins but not the carotids. In any case we're not supposed to feel that, and also ideally we'd be able to pass out in 10-20 seconds.

You should go to ER / A&E if you have attempted this recently, especially as many times as you have. You can make something up like you're into autoerotic asphyxiation.

Huh? Not sure what you mean here, can you reword this?
