This was the defense in the 'Preppie Murder' in NY in the 80's; they'd used a scarf. It supposedly also was the reason the lead singer of INXS hung himself-self gratification with autoerotic asphyxiation.
Shani and Dave know each other well enough, I should think, to be able to have total control and the fact that they don't use props ala scarves or ropes is a plus, of course. Covering your partner's face with a hand would seem to me to be perfectly safe; I don't know about holding the throat, though-someone grabbed mine momentarily at, shall we say, the 'height of passion' and I thought 'WTF'? They backed off from going further(whether consciously or not) and it wasn't discussed afterwards, but I doubt strongly I'd have agreed to it.
