There are two common garroting methods. One involves the victim
sitting on a chair-like structure with his/her back against a
support. A ram is positioned against the back of the victim's neck,
about in the c3-c4 region of the spine. A ring or band is then placed
around the victim's neck. As the ram is forced against the spine, the
throat is pushed against the band, strangling the victim. The ram is
is continuallly forced against the spine until the neck is snapped,
hopefully before the victim is strangled. It's a relatively slow
method of execution, but it does have a certain erotic aura about
it! Male victims get an erection as soon as the strangulation
begins, and hopefully, they will experience climax (ejaculation)
before they either lose consciousness from the strangulation, and
their neck snaps. The perfect senario would be if they experience
their final ejaculation just a few seconds before their neck snaps,
and then the strangulation completes the task.
The second method involves wrapping a wire around the victim's neck
and strangling them. The wire cuts into the victim's flesh, and
severes the victim's throat. And if the "executioner" is strong
enough, the victim can actually be decapitated. I know of two people
who were killed this way. A woman I knew a while ago was decapitated
when she was strangled with a wire, and the other victim was a 16-year-
old boy who was the son of a friend. He was decapitated 18-months ago
when someone strangled him with a wire. Neither of their killers were
caught.
My choice is to have a woman garrote me with a wire.
