What can I say, a streetfight is a lot different than a controlled Dojo.
It doesnt.
Mucking around with a guy at soccer and he put me in a head lock so i went to ground. All that caused was me being in a head lock on the ground.
A mate that does Krav marga got taught to go for Balls first then the face/eyes when the pull away.
Well thats BS.... If the attacker is of any kind of build they will just lift you off the ground further strengthening the choke...
In a street fight, I'd rather do quick and brutal than rolling around cuddling on the floor. If it ended up rolling around cuddling on the floor, I'd be biting where-ever (and whatever) I could get my teeth into. No poncing around in attacking stance or weighing up how I'm going to use his over extension to put him off balance and flip him over my hip. I'm going to **** him up as fast as possible and then leg it.

Salty water then let nature take it's course.
keyboard... failing that gouge their eyes or as bas says "heel to the balls"... very simple techniques you're likely to remember in a moment of panic that will quickly discourage said attacker from continuing.. a proper choke hold is very uncomfortable and you will pass out within a matter of seconds if applied properly (aka playing dead doesn't work ), its not just like someones got you in a headlock in the playground...

What if the assailant was female ?
If you're in a rear strangle hold by a female it's probably best if you just rip your own balls off and hand them to her. Unless it's in the bedroom and she's all in leather and was beating you with a horse whip a couple of minutes earlier and you enjoy that kind of thing.
Poke her eyes out.
As much as Bas methods would likely be brutally effective - they're also rather brutal in general and in some situations would perhaps push the boundaries of 'reasonable force'.
penn and teller raised a few valid points in the martial arts episode of their series bull**** - unfortunately I can't link to it here but its rather amusing - google: 'penn and teller martial arts'

What would you do if someone had you in a front strangle, but was completely invincible and could not feel any pain, how would you get out of it?
Go to bed.
ALSO, calling out "back strangle" to be a new phrase on the forums early
