Sexual choking, which is a form of strangulation, can lead to various health consequences, including death. Recent surveys suggest that sexual choking is prevalent among young U.S. adults, a demographic also likely to view pornography. Pornography professionals, social commentators, and scholars have noted that mixed-gender choking is normative in contemporary pornography. Further, the pornographic portrayal of sexual choking is gendered; men choke women more often than women choke men. Guided by the sexual script acquisition, activation, application model (AM) of mediated sexual socialization, the present campus-representative probability study explored associations between heterosexual-identified women's pornography exposure and sexual choking behavior. The more frequently women viewed pornography, the more often they were exposed to pornographic depictions of sexual choking. Exposure to sexual choking, in turn, was associated with being choked by men, but not choking men. The link between choking exposure and being choked was mediated by the eroticization of choking (rather than reduced agency to stop rough sex) and became stronger the more women perceived themselves as similar to actors in pornography. These results suggest that women's experience of sexual choking is influenced by their use of pornography, but in an active and willing, rather than a passive and unwilling, manner.
性窒息，即一种绞杀形式，可能导致各种健康后果，包括死亡。最近的调查表明，性窒息在年轻的美国成年人中很普遍，而这一年龄段的人也更有可能观看色情内容。色情行业专业人士、社会评论员和学者注意到，混合性别窒息在当代色情内容中是很常见的。此外，性窒息在色情内容中的描绘是有性别差异的；男性对女性进行窒息的情况比女性对男性进行窒息的情况更为常见。本研究以性脚本获取、激活、应用模型（AM）为指导，对当代性社会化的中介作用进行了探索，该模型探讨了异性恋女性观看色情内容与性窒息行为之间的关系。女性观看色情内容的频率越高，她们接触到色情内容中对性窒息的描绘的频率就越高。接触性窒息继而与被男性窒息有关，而与女性窒息男性无关。性窒息暴露与被窒息之间的联系是由窒息的色情化（而不是减少停止粗暴性行为的能力）介导的，而且这种联系在女性认为自己与色情内容中的演员越相似时就越强。这些结果表明，女性的性窒息体验受到她们使用色情内容的影响，但这种影响是积极的、自愿的，而不是被动的、不情愿的。
