How should partial suspension feel?

[SomewhatLoved]

Experimenting with partial suspension today.

Rope connected at one end to a pulley system in my garage, other end around my neck. Rope is maybe 8mm - not as thick as I would like but it does the job. Made of nylon. Will probably get better rope if I continue to pursue, but just testing for now.

T-shirt around my neck for padding, bundled up a little bit more on either side of my adam's apple for added pressure on the carotids. Slowly ease myself into position, and I start feeling pulsating and as if pressure is building in my head - sort of like when you lay with your head off of the bed for too long. After a few seconds I start to feel a little bit dizzy. The whole thing isn't painful, but the pulsating, rope, and pressure is definitely uncomfortable.

Is this right? I imagine to get to the point of passing out I might have to put more weight into it, but otherwise I think maybe I'm doing it right...?

sounds like you're constricting the veins rather than the arteries. need much more pressure. When compressing the arteries you feel heavily intoxicated, vision going white in maybe 5 seconds. then you're gone if you tied the rope off. That's why I always recommend throwing the rope over a door or whatever and hold the other end in your hand so when you go limp you let go. it goes fast if done right and you loose control of your body almost instantly. woke up on the floor head hurting 2 times recently just wanting to practice and tied off the noose but left some slack on the pull up bar since I thought I'm just gonna stop before I pass out.
good luck

How do you do the practice thing with the rope thrown over the door? I imagine you pull the other end of the rope from under the door and hold it in your hands, but how do you make sure you don't sit on it or something and end up killing yourself before you've tied up loose ends?
