It's dangerous, and I, personally, would not do it, nor would I recommend it.

It's auto-erotic asphyxia (auto meaning self, asphyxia meaning your air is cut off).
I agree with Drawscore 100% (which means something, let me assure you!!!) It's dangerous, and I definitely advise against it!
I have experienced something similar, but rather than self imposed (which I never did) it was done to me by companions whom I trusted and who knew what they were doing. Rather than involving strangulation however (which is too dangerous under any circumstances; never constrict the throat!), what my friends did was a... ummm... face smother. Anyone who has read certain of my stories knows precisely what kind of face smother; I won't describe it here as some people would find it to be a turn off. I myself found it exhilirating (probably much more so than I would have been the auto way), but it could also have been damned dangerous if my friends weren't as careful of me as they were and already experienced in certain things.
Another way is for a friend to stand behind you, grip you in a bear hug, and squeeze all the air out of you. I experienced that once in sixth grade; in school. I passed out at once, and sagged to the floor. I was out several seconds, and the other kids were panicky and didn't know what to do; luckily I recovered before the teacher caught on and investigated (we were in a open closet out of sight (but not out of earshot) of the main classroom). I do not recommend that method either unless the person is knowledgeable. The one who did it to me was only 12, and was apparently surprised at his success; that's not good!!! I never let this happen to me again.
The point is, even here I wasn't alone; I was with friends I could trust who were very careful of my safety (other than the incident described just above, which was years before any of the other times with different, older and more responsible companions). If the idea of the thrill of experiencing asphyxiation is too strong to resist, for God's sake don't do it by yourself. Forget auto-asphyxiation; it can get you killed! And if you do it with friends, practice in slow and careful steps (like hand gags or something) so that nothing bad happens and you have help when you pass out. If you MUST do it, make sure your friends know how to be careful and can be trusted not to go too far (or to panic and leave you alone when you're passed out) - and make sure at least one of them thoroughly knows mouth-to-mouth resusitation if you pass out too deeply!
Better still, if you have doubts as to your safety, then leave this in your imagination and simply savor the fantasy; it's probably as much fun and is definitely much safer.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.
