A girl on another message board was going off on her scum boyfriend and said she’d hang him until he got an erection, then clamp it with a heated metal clamp. But would he really get an erection if he was being hanged?
There’s not much of a point otherwise, is there?
When being strangled, a guy will always ejaculate, because it’s the male’s instinctive attempt to try to procreate one last time before he dies. We just talked about this in my freshman Wellness class this morning.

Bad pun, and the question is so wrong.
Can’t help you though.
dah! i misspelled asphixiation when i searched the archives.
Are you sure that’s the actual reason and not just some plausible explanation that somebody made up?
Plausible?!? Plausible?!? :eek:
I was hoping it was a joke but I didn’t want to touch it. I wouldn’t want to contradict the consensus of a freshmen wellness class. 
Well, not all that plausible really, I suppose; how would such a reflex have originated?
Ejaculating on strangulation just on the offchance that there is a vagina nearby is a bit of a long shot (if you’ll pardon the pun).
If anyone wants to seriously argue that theory, I’ll be interested to know why strangulation produces the effect but other methods of death don’t.

I guess Hangmen learn pretty quickly where to stand. Got to be a bit tricky if he starts to writhe around, though - you’ll be bobbing and weaving with the sway 'til the poor sod fires his final round.
Seems a bit odd, though. Isn’t there also a tendency to defacate at this difficult time ? …rather busy all round by the sounds of it…
Unfortunately, a friend of mine in college found out the hard way that this is true. He had apparently read that if you cut off part of the blood flow to the brain, it’s supposed to make for a more intense orgasm.
He tried this by partially hanging himself, but got tangled up in the ropes and died. His father found him hanging from the basement ceiling pipes, pants around his ankles. The paramedics were unable to revive him, and the coroner’s certificate read “accidental suicide.” The more technical term is autoerotic asphyxia.
Needless to say, don’t try this at home, folks.

It happens to politicians every now and again; one MP near where I live was found dead, hanging by a piece of electrical flex from a door; it would have been bad enough to have found him like that, but there’s more; he had a tangerine laced with amyl nitrate stuffed in his mouth, a plastic bag over his head and was wearing stockings and suspenders.
Although it’s only fair to say that it may have been a bizarre murder…

I remember it well! Mind you, I think auto-erotica and execution are two very different things - the state of mind must be particularly relevant here.
I’ve certainly heard of it before - but the procreation thing just doesn’t hold water. Surely if that were the case, whenever a guy died (and knew it was going to happen, presumably) he’d ejaculate beforehand. I’m not sure there’s evidence for that.

The way I heard it, people suddenly double-post just before they die, as a last instinctive attempt to increase their post count.
