Hypnotism

Hypnotism is used in some dom/sub scenes and i was wondering what the community's thoughts were on the practice.

Would you be willing to try it? And if so, why?

I've used hypnosis for 20-something years, and it works well.

THE ART OF NON-FICTION by Ayn Rand has an excellent chapter about hypnosis and the function of the subconscious in writing; WRITING THE DRAFT: THE PRIMACY OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS.

I've been studying it and experimenting with the self hypnosis somewhat. It seems that we all use it on each other at some subliminal level all the time.

So far I've quit smoking, drinking (again) and am now pretty much straight vegetarian.

Maybe I've hypnotized myself too well. I've gotten much better at reading other people too.

The only relevant experience I've got is maybe not quite what you mean but I'll share anyway.

Sometimes I reach a point in a scene where I'm in what we on Lit term 'subspace.' I'm so turned on and so attuned to what Master is saying or doing that I kind of drift away in a trance. Any physical pain I might be experiencing temporarily disappears and continued pain won't bring me back. My whole being is focused on Master, I will come on demand or hold back on demand, all mostly subconsciously.

Lately, instead of acknowledging that I'm in subspace and easing off a bit or trying to bring me back, Master has chosen to see how far he can push me into trance and essentially control me from the inside out. These sessions are very intense. I lose all concept of how much time has passed and the only things I'm aware of are Master and his voice. My orgasms are more or less constant - unless I'm instructed otherwise - and although the sensations are incredible I feel slightly distanced from it all. We have only done this a couple of times and Master has concentrated mostly on pushing me subconsciously as opposed to physically because he knows I'm incapable of safewording and have no concept of how far from myself I've gone. When we do wind down he will hold me and talk to me gently until I've 'regained consciousness' or self control. Sometimes I cry uncontrollably afterwards. Always I feel euphoric and supremely cherished and valued as his slave. After about half an hour though, Master expects normal service to be resumed so he doesn't coddle me overmuch and that helps me to concentrate on coming back to myself.

I have no idea whether my experience is due in part to my epilepsy. I have had the condition only since a road accident when I was 17 and it was after my first major seizure that I became multiply orgasmic. A very strong orgasm can even cause a minor seizure or 'absence' as the doctors call it.

Ooh that was a ramble. Nevermind

i never even thought that self hypnosis could help with something like that. And Velvet WOW....they say we use hypnotism already in some forms so maybe this is an example?

Maybe. It certainly feels that way to me. Also I find that my memory of the scene after the event is hazy and more about highs and lows of sensation rather than the actions of Master or myself.

Another thing I'm aware of is that, once I've hit my endorphine/adrenaline high I find it easier to deal with physical pain. It's kind of a 'mind over matter' thing where I consciously try to distance myself from pain. That's not to say I don't enjoy the pain, of course I do but my tolerances are greatly affected by the ability to think my way past it. I don't know if I've explained that too well.

It's definitely an interesting subject as I hadn't thought of what Master had done to me as a form of hypnosis before I saw your thread.

frustrated today

Wow.

Yea, I've got this idea in my head to have my cyber-pal try to hypnotise through cam/mic. I'm definitely open to the idea >.< and i think he has the creativity needed. But we havent spoken with cam before, so i'm not sure the stage set be set proper.


I can hope i guess for the best :x....which is why i'm asking around ^^

Subspace sounds just like the state of relaxed suggestability that one hopes to induce with the hypnosis type of thing.

There's some kind of rule that therapists don't spank their patients I think.

What do you imagine or fantasize hypnosis is?

Hypnosis is a very simple process. There is no hocus-pocus magic.

1. The hypnostist helps you construct a well-formed outcome goal. Like, stop smoking...or have an orgasm...or get better grades in school. It wont make you taller, it wont make your tits bigger or smaller. It wont change your eye color.

2. Then the hypnotist helps you suspend judgmental thinking. NOT critical thinking. All of the decisions youve made get set aside so that your unconscious can use critical thinking and creative thinking to re-examine your fund of knowledge and experiences, to discover new solutions. A competent hypnotist helps you link desire to the outcome you want.

Thats where the failure usually is: You want to stop smoking but the motivation to change is missing. The emotional component isnt there. Just the intellectual.

When people report all the other stuff, it makes me think theyre psychotic or on drugs or drunk or have an endocrine disorder.

Wound up :x

Hypnosis, how i would like to experiment i guess is having someone lure me into a desired level of relaxation. That in itself, knowing that someone can do that "to" me, and knowing i want them to, and obey, is kinda erotic.

Yes, we will probably have fun with it, but the relaxation is something i'm definitely interested in.

I look at it as an understanding of basic human communication.
