Some people value chokers for their aesthetic appeal. However, a choker can also carry strong erotic connotations. In part, this can be explained due to a similarity between chokers and collars.

Chokers are distinct from collars, in the sense that the former is an item of jewelry and can be worn as such. Although chokers are of little practical value for BDSM, they can be of symbolic and suggestive relevance.

A Choker is also used to refer to an individual who consistently fails to perform under pressure. For example "Eric is a Choker" or "Eric choked when it mattered". The term applies especially to sexually deviant men unable to achieve erection or ejaculation by normative behaviors.
