Last week, a 16-year-old girl was found unresponsive(无反应的；昏迷的) in a home on Sydney’s northern beaches. She was airlifted(空运（尤指紧急救援）) to hospital and died two days later. New South Wales police are investigating her death as the result of(由于；作为…的结果) a sexual strangulation act. Sources told the ABC the deceased(死者（法律/正式用语）) may have experienced a seizure(癫痫发作； seizure) following asphyxiation(窒息), and that officers were told the sex was consensual(双方自愿的；同意的).
上周，一名16岁女孩在悉尼北部海滩的一处住宅中被发现无反应。她被空运至医院，两天后去世。新南威尔士州警方正在调查她的死亡是否由性勒颈行为所致。消息人士告诉澳大利亚广播公司，死者可能在窒息后出现癫痫发作，且警方被告知性行为是双方自愿的。
While that investigation has yet to(尚未；还没有) run its course(自然发展；持续到结束), speaking generally, strangulation during sex is not a new phenomenon or conversation. Just a few years ago it was relatively taboo(禁忌；忌讳) to criticise this normalisation(正常化；常态化) of violence in sex – it was often framed as(被描述为；被框定为) “anti-kink(怪癖（尤指性癖好）)” to raise concern about this dangerous act that is increasingly depicted(描绘；描述) in mainstream pornography.
虽然该调查尚未结束，但总的来说，性行为中的勒颈并非新现象或新话题。就在几年前，批评这种性暴力正常化的现象还相对忌讳——人们常常将对此危险行为的担忧视为“反怪癖”，而这一行为在主流色情内容中日益被描绘。
In 2024, Australian research affirmed(证实；肯定) the prevalence(普遍性；流行程度) of sexual strangulation. The Archives of Sexual Behaviour published data revealing that 57% of Australians aged 18 to 35 had been strangled(被勒颈；被扼死) at least once during sex, and 51% said they had strangled a sexual partner.
2024年，澳大利亚研究证实了性勒颈的普遍性。《性行为档案》发布的数据显示，57%的18至35岁澳大利亚人曾在性行为中至少被勒颈一次，51%的人表示曾勒颈过性伴侣。
