Cherie DeVille Weighs in on Choking in Porn Debate
LOS ANGELES—Cherie DeVille brings a veteran adult performer’s perspective to WIRED’s new feature “A Teen Girl’s Death Is Prompting Calls to Ban Choking in Porn," which examines whether restrictions on adult content can meaningfully address the very real dangers of sexual strangulation.
In the article, DeVille questions whether banning depictions of choking will solve the larger problem, noting that consumers can bypass local restrictions or move to unregulated platforms. She also points to professional set protocols, where boundaries are negotiated in advance and simulated choking is performed without actual pressure on the trachea.
The feature, written by Kat Tenbarge, brings together researchers, legal experts, and adult-industry voices to examine the health risks, cultural normalization, and regulatory debate surrounding consensual choking kinks. DeVille’s perspective adds a view to the larger question of whether regulation alone can address behavior that appears in mainstream culture.
“This is a serious safety issue, and I don’t think anyone in the industry should minimize that,” said DeVille.
“But banning a depiction does not automatically give people the information they need to understand the risks," added DeVille. "Professional sets rely on communication, consent and agreed boundaries, and the larger public conversation needs accurate education alongside any discussion of regulation.”
