  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

Are they any resources that discuss suffocation as an effective suicide method. Like how to do it successfully?

I don't think many people would choose to suffer that much. It will make you panic.

It's not a good way to go - hypercapnic alarm response or whatever it's called.

Damn near impossible unless you've engineered some James Bond villain-level setup to restrain yourself, and even then, why? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Thanks for the advice. I just can't get the hang of partial hanging. I had no idea of how painful suffocation was... i thought it was painless if you combined it with benzo's.

Technically inert gas with exit bag is suffocation (asphyxiation) and IMO the only way it's painless.

There is a YouTube original documentary (see below) that analyzed what is the "scariest thing" --- and it's conclusion was that exposure to too much CO2 (carbon dioxide) --- as one would experience suffocating with e.g., a plastic bag --- was the "scariest thing" --- in that it uniformly caused the most physiological destress/panic.

Not sure I completely agree with the methodology in coming to that conclusion... but still likely a very bad way to go.

Inert gas method as @Thanatonaut says is suffocation, but it continually purges all the CO2 away so it doesn't build-up. The body can't detect lack of oxygen in the air, but it definitely has an adverse reaction to too much CO2.
