Yes, I always get a nice response by encircling her neck with my hand, but I don't wish or need to apply pressure.

The touch alone can suffice to put her in exactly the same mental space.

A training technique (do you wish to know?) is to whisper in her ear, a lot, about what it will be like if I squeeze down... Another is to have her hold her breath while my hand is on her throat, again whispering in her ear to control herself, to do it for me. Later, when I want her complete, shallow breathed attention, the touch of my hand around her neck results in an immediate attitude change. Even if she's being completely submissive, this intensifies the feelings for her.
