Prevalence and Correlates of Sexual Choking and Consensual Non-Consent (CNC) Among College Students: Findings from a Campus-Representative Survey.

Rough sex has become prevalent among young adults, yet little is known about the prevalence of consensual non-consent (CNC)-which is often enacted as role-playing sexual assault-or the correlates of either sexual choking or CNC. In a U.S. college campus probability survey, we assessed the prevalence and correlates of choking and CNC. More women (45%) and gender diverse participants (61%) had ever been choked than men (25%). Also, 10.0% of students had ever engaged in CNC, with no significant gender differences. Both choking and CNC were related to alcohol use and to a history of partner violence.
