• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

So im planning to finally ctb this weekend after many failed attempts prior to joining! I've been reading about partial hangings, as it's my preferred method. I am not finding a ton of posts on this, so apologies if this has already been answered, and im dumb!! I'll be brief!!


I've tried a couple of different ropes/cords in partial hanging attempts over the years. I felt there were some pros/cons to each. I wanted to know if there was a definitive answer as to what's best to use for partial hanging, or just go with whatever feels best to you?


My Experiences


(Poor quality) Kernmantle style rope:

Cons:

- Barely held my weight

- Stretchy-er than desired

- Medium difficulty getting close to KO

- Hard to get undone when SI kicks in

Pros:

- Hard to get undone when SI kicks in

- Pretty comfortable for what it is



(Good quality) Braided style rope:

Cons:

- significant rope burn

- Harder to get above the door

- Medium difficulty getting close to KO

Pros:

- Felt sturdy

- Medium comfort


(Cat 6) Ethernet Cable:

Cons:

- Stretchy, not too bad initially, but I got back up after KO'ing, idk how, but this may be why

- not rated for this kind of weight

Pros:

- Passing out seemed to happen really quickly

- Comfort similar to the first one

- Easier to get right from my experience

Conclusion

So, given all of this, my attempt this weekend will likely be with an ethernet cable. I'm just a bit worried about waking up after passing out again. That was BAD. However, I very well could have messed up the method so open to clarification here, but from what I've read, I believe I was doing it correctly. Other than that, ethernet seems pretty ideal, as it's quick. What are others' thoughts here ? Would using the Braided rope be a better bet? Is there some different type of Rope/Cord I should consider instead?

I really appreciate you taking the time to read all of that, and I just wanted to thank this website. It's really hard to do this alone! Thank you again, and I'm sorry if I made a mistake while posting this. My hardest is often not good enough, lol.

Partial is too difficult. Even full suspsension is, but if i was going to rope I would certainly try to go full.

Oh interesting, thank you very much for the information! I struggled finding a private place to do full suspension before, but It might be worth revisiting based off what you said.

I just dream of dieing in my house surrounded by my animals, and SN sounds to easy to back out of.

Thank you again for taking the time, if you have any other suggestions or notes please lmk ! I'm open to pretty much anything, just prefer choking for a couple reasons.
