Why won't I pass out?

[A_Breath_Away]

It's driving me nuts. I've attempted partial and night-night method to no avail. It's garbage. I swear it doesn't work. Like you'd need the patience of a saint and the discipline of a buddhist monk. I've found my carotid arteries. I'm applying a shit-ton of pressure. Nothing happens. I get a little light-headed. That's it.

when you compress your carotids with just your fingers what happens?

I get slightly light-headed. My balance seems to be affected somewhat. But I have to press into it hard just to achieve that.

I've had similar experiences. It appears to be FSH or bust.

night-night has always seemed a little bullshitty to me, but your issue with partial might be that there's just not enough weight. are you very light or is your anchor point leaving you closer to sitting (less pressure) than you are to fully hanging (more pressure)?

you might also just have to experiment with pressing on every mm of your carotids up and down your neck to see if one area unexpectedly responds with less pressure needed than your current spot

Never thought I'd have to find my carotid artery's g-spot. LOL.

But I get what you're saying. Some people have mentioned having a sweet spot where they're more responsive. I feel like partial would be so much easier if I had a decent rope. I keep trying household ligatures that don't work worth a damn. Someone suggested a necktie. Which, again, you'd have to be pretty dedicated to make work.

i heard of a successful ctb with a shoelace in under an hour. the girl was found at dinnertime by her family who were all home while she did it. cant remember if it was partial or fsh though, but it was in the closet so id assume partial or almost fsh! honestly inspired me. i still bought the 12mm poly rope tho

This is your mistake . When you start to apply so much pressure you will feel immense pain of course this will led you to stop the attempt.
Do this instead and maybe first practice it, place the noose on your neck tighten it now pull up the rope just little bit so less pressure actually that you don't even feel any pain but the important part is to keep this low pressure constant for 15 sec. You will become unconscious. Now when you do partial do the same start with little pressure then when you are nearly unconscious go into your partial position sit in the air and you will get unconscious.

Does leaning into the noose help? I noticed with the night-night method that I was a little more woozy if I kept my head down.

Yes absolutely keeping the head down is a very good trick which should be mentioned more often on sasu because it definitely helps to get unconscious faster
