still confused as everyone says place rope under jaw but the resource on hangiong says this 
Ligature positions tested;
- at top of neck / just over the larynx ring;
With prior inhale = 20+ seconds. The ligature, when in contact with the throat, produces a strong
desire to swallow, or cough. Without a prior inhale the time frame is longer, and the over
stimulation remains. It cannot be recommended.
- at base of neck/ one inch above collar bone gullet;
With prior inhale approx 10-20 seconds. This position resulted in mild pressure build up, but did
not cause throat irritation.
- just under larynx ring;
With prior inhale = 15-20 seconds. This location resulted in slight pressure build up pressure
build up, but no throat irritation.
I have found that despite there being a crossing over on the throat area, that the
overstimulation found on certain areas of the neck is based not on location of the knot or
crossing, but by the ligatures position relative to the larynx. Placement above and on top of the
larynx results in irritation, whereas placement below, with muscles to cushion the compression,
results in a much more comfortable experience.
Out of thoroughness, a second attempt was made to verify the relatively comfortable position of
the ligature at the based of the neck, but this time with the crossing point being at the back of
the neck and with an inhale. The swimming sensation was met within 20 seconds, with no throat
stimulation and with no pinching.
It is of my opinion that the best position for the ligature is at the base of the neck, not the
stereotypical top.
