Is wanting to be murdered a valid suicide method?

[soft-flower345]

One day, when I'm ready, I really want to be consensually murdered by my would be lover one day.

I don't know why, it's not a matter of making it easier for me by letting someone else perform the act that lets me finally ctb. There's something symbolic, and romantic about the gesture of what would be my lover willingly granting me the mercy I seek. To feel their hands around my throat, or for them to plunge a blade into my heart while straddling me after I've drank SN, that would be ideal. It's intimate, and comforting knowing I die with the one I love.

Not that it matters, but I'm curious, do you view this as an act of suicide?

strictly definitionally this would be homicide. but i would view consensual homicide as an act of suicide personally, yes.

not one I'd ever recommend though. and probably best kept to the realm of fantasy. though I don't particularly care if I get murdered at this point.

I would also love to be murdered, although it doesn't matter who does it. I would want to since it puts the fault of my death off of me and onto someone else, and no one would know I wanted to ctb

The murderer will be treated as murderer anyway. But yeah as long as the killing process is quick and painless - why not - as one might want to die anyway.

anything can be said to be a valid suicide method if you have the act and intent of dying after , i mean what would be an invalid suicide method anyway? lol. Whos gonna watch that ? the suicide police? sorry method not allowed !

I think it's valid, but highly unrealistic.

For me personally- I think it depends on the method. Obtaining a lethal substance for someone who was unable to do it themselves and even helping them administer it sounds like assisting a suicide- assuming they want to die of course! Being caught in the wilderness with nothing but a knife and being in some desperate situation where suicide is more preferable to a drawn out death- that sounds like a mercy killing/ assisting a suicide also. But- in a regular setting, stabbing someone through the heart or strangling them is quite a violent act really. It may feel like suicide to you but I imagine it would feel pretty distressing for the person doing it.
