Help does ligature strangulation actually work...

[haveyounoheartx]

okay so recently i've tried to do ligature strangulation using a shoelace with the hopes of succeeding, but unfortunately i failed as i just couldn't pass out i don't have any access to other methods thus i'm stuck with this one... man it would be a lie to say i'm not disappointed with this failed attempt, but well i'll just have to keep trying i guess.

i've been thinking that maybe i didn't pull the lace tight enough and that's why it didn't work, so i plan on trying again soon. though that begs the question... does this method actually even work? are there any videos of successful attempts with LS? lots of people here say it's hard to pull off and that kind of lowers my confidence in being able to succeed. i hope someone here can provide more insight on ligature strangulation 'cause i really wanna ctb already, and this method seems so simple in theory

also when i fully tied and tightened the lace around my neck icl it did feel kinda good; i'm not sure if that's a good sign or not

Yes, there's plenty of pics of people succeeding if you search ligature strangulation. Zipties will work way better than shoelaces.

There's a thread here on how to properly do it.

Theoretically yes it's possible (there are documented cases) but like you said it's hard to pull off and requires a bit of practice
Maybe the reason why you couldn't pass out is because you didn't apply enough pressure some user said that the difference with ls and fsh/psh is that it's entirely up to you and how tight you can pull the ligature since there's no force helping you here like gravity would with fsh

so i guess practicing or simulating these scenarios would provide very little results since you aren't pulling enough or aren't testing with the intention of dying (at least not in that moment)
if you want to test your ligature or experience what unconsciousness feels like just press your shoelace tight against your carotids without a fixed knot

i'm also planning to use this method since like you i don't have a lot of options available but what really worries me is which knot to use and the fact that the knot would be in front the neck which i heard was the worst for fsh (idk if it applies to ls as well but i've always heard sides or back of the neck would be ideal)

A thing that helped me finally apply pressure to the cartoids, so i acc passed out and didn't get the exploding head feeling, was switching to a wider ligature. that and quite a few practice tries and failed attempts until i found the right spot.
good luck!
