In feudal Japan, female samurai (yes they existed) were forbidden to commit seppuku in this fashion. They would slit their own throat, so as not to defile their bodies. Only samurai were allowed to have a worthy second behead them after they slit their bellies. This was so the warrior would not have to suffer the indignity of showing pain as his entrails spread over his thighs.
