Why do girls wear chokers?

[Hypra]

My middle school is full of girls with chokers. I have not found a reason why they wear them...

Quick question, why exactly does it matter what someone wears?

Because we need to know what level of BDSM we're talking about.

Well, you could always ask once you get to know them enough.

A very OLD fad on the rise again.

Long before they encircled the necks of goth girls in the 1990s or were made popular by the Princess of Wales in the late 1800s, chokers were donned by women in ancient civilizations, worn to protect what even back then they understood to be a very important part of the body, the neck.

They are a style that cuts across many cultures--African, Indian and Western among them--and class lines.
The history of the choker dates back thousands of years, to the world’s earliest civilizations, the Sumer empire in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt.

Markowitz said women in both these ancient worlds wore chokers, often pairing them with other necklaces, for the same reason they wore all jewelry--to protect them and give them power.
