Cherie DeVille Brings Industry Safety Perspective to WIRED Choking Debate

(Los Angeles, CA / September 14, 2026) – Cherie DeVille brings a veteran performer’s perspective to WIRED’s new feature “A Teen Girl’s Death Is Prompting Calls to Ban Choking in Porn”, examining whether restrictions on adult content can meaningfully address the very real dangers surrounding 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 sexual strangulation. DeVille’s perspective adds an industry view to the larger question of whether regulation alone can address behavior that also appears throughout 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. Professional sets rely on communication, consent and agreed boundaries, and the larger public conversation needs accurate education alongside any discussion of regulation.”
