strangling
Squeezing or holding a person's neck to restrict their breathing. May be used as an attack to render someone unconscious, or as part of rough sex or BDSM play.
If the person is completely unable to breathe, then it's also asphyxiation.
The less violent form of this is hands on another's neck.
Not to be confused with choking on object.
