Hi Hicky! I do think BB should have punished Marco and Laura for the asphyxiation debacle.
I wonder how much of that they didn't show, as presumably Marco wanted to increase the effects of some sort of sexual activity. Wot a prat!
"moots yawns widely*”
Without being too graphic, it looked like Marco was not sexually aroused at all, bearing in mind he was wearing those hideous stretchy leggings.

Yes, Marco instructed her to hit him in the face with the belt and she did.
I found it all disturbing because Laura clearly has self esteem issues and will allow anything to be done to her because of it, and Marco himself expressed concerns that he has a personality disorder.
Combine this with producers possibly encouraging them to play certain roles and it raises a question over consent.

It happens a lot, sadly, but doesnt normally make the news. I had no idea it happened so often until my friend's husband apparently killed himself doing it with a belt., and it seems such a bloody stupid thing to do.
I dont think it should have been shown on BB. No matter how staged it was.
Strangulation is not allowed to be included in pornography, so why is ok on BB? I Dont think it was needed for the story, we already knew that Marco is a bully and a wassock and Laura an unfortunate slut.

I think quite a few accidental deaths have occurred with simulated strangulation.
I think Andrew was booted for these tweets, and more.
In fact he sent a few, rather nasty.

I dont think he actually sent it to her personally, did he? Actually, I think he might have got mixed up and meant to say
because the word he said isnt used in America, apparently.
