Do I need to tell people beforehand that I don’t want to be choked during sex? /u/LilyLovesAttention Sex

I (26f) hate being choked during sex. I know a lot of people really like it and I respect that, but I’m just not one of them. I’ve had several experiences where guys (all were mid/late 20s) assumed I would be into it and choked me during sex without discussing it with me. I did not consent to this and it makes me angry, pretty much ruining the experience for me. I no longer feel safe with them since they’ve done something to me that I did not consent to, and that kills the sex appeal for me. So how can I avoid this happening again? Do I need to preface that I don’t want to be choked before having sex with someone or are these outlier experiences? I don’t want to kill the mood but I also don’t want to be choked anymore.
