Hypnosis

[Primalex]

I don't get it. What was the point of this post?

[~Haze~]

I have been as well, in more of a tweaking minor traits and certain responses, and clearing through mental blocks, kind of way.

I'm having similar experiences as well. It's been fun, it's been interesting, it's been an educational experience and I've had positive experiences and results overcoming some communication barriers as well as inhibitions and repressions.

Define "in control" in a BDSM context.
Where is the difference in control in a mindfuck, a bondage session, hypnosis...?

I interpreted her reference of 'control' as being conscious/aware/capable of giving consent. From the post, it seems like that's missing from this exchange.

I also agree with the Netzach's post that hypnotism alone is causing this 'blackout'. There is something else going on here. It's probably more likely that the OP is possibly falling into this 'trance' because that's what she wants and that's what she wants her hypnotist to think. Or she might just be over-indulging or over-dramatizing for the sake of indulging the fantasy.

To each their own. It

There's a lot of debate on "can you hypnotize someone covertly or even against their will?" I maintain that you can't ever completely circumvent someone's will, unless you're maybe doing some intense captivity thing or you're a cult or something. A simple hypnotic exchange isn't going to bypass that. On some level, she's loving it and buying in. People need to buy in for trance to be effective, IME, but I'm not the most accomplished of trancemeisters.

I'm curious about this. I think my girl might benefit from Hypnosis to help her with phobias, fear, and anxiety.

Two years ago I was cured of a driving phobia of 23 years' standing with a single session of hypnosis! Best £50 I ever spent! Wished I'd done it years earlier!

That's pretty much what I think about. I'm getting much better at communication, but still, sometimes it's hard to say what you think when you don't really know what you think. I think my inhibition and repression levels aren't too bad, but I do sometimes have a few self confidence issues that would be perceived as such.

I do also like the thought of some relatively harmless play related triggers and the like.

I hear it working for smokers as well, and for weight loss.

It really has to be something you want though, you can't be forced to do things against your will of course. I'm guessing that hypnotism just helps crack into that subconscious part of your mind where you're hanging onto old fears and thought patterns, and helps you through them.

I've never experienced it myself, but I'm curious.

My thoughts as well. It feels good physically and mentally, and that stirs up an element of eroticism that comes from being relaxed, comfortable, content and possibly a little more open than usual.

There's a unique benefit that you realize when you're able to have a dialogue with someone about what turns them on most (without any shame, hesitation or inhibitions) and get them to visualize and imagine it quite clearly.

That's how my curiosity started - examining possibilities related to addiction. I don't really know how that's going to develop, but again, I'm just satisfying my curiosities - or trying to.

There is this guy who performs locally. He's here half the year and in Vegas half the year.

The R Rated Hypnotist

He pulls people in from the audience and hypnotizes them and get's them to do all sorts of tricks.

For instance, he'll tell a few participants that when they hear a particular word, they're going to have pee, but in the rest-room they'll discover they're "parts" changed (Women will discover a penis, men discover a vagina). He snaps her out of sleep and goes about his act and works the trigger into that next comedy bit.

All of a sudden, the people behind him are doing the peepee dance. He tells them that they go to the bathroom and shortly after, everyone comes out reacting to the fact that they have (or don't have) a penis anymore.

The reactions are as different as the people. Some are embarrassed, so are blushing and afraid to say anything. Some are pissed and at one of the shows, this woman came out of the ladies room screaming and yelling because she was convinced it belonged to the guy who was sitting next to her and she wanted it gone.

Another "bit" - He'll give one of the women a trigger and when she hears it she's going to feel horny and attracted to the guy next to her.

In fact, every time she hears that trigger she's going to get hornier and hornier. You can see it work, too. The first time she hears the word she starts flirting. The second time she hears the word, she's getting playful. The third time, she's getting touchy-feely. The forth time, she's practically just jumps on the guy, mounting and straddling him as she won't take no for an answer.



It's a hilarious act. I've gone a few times and had a great time, every time. He mixes up his "tricks" but even if he does the same one from one show to the next, each person reacts differently so it's a whole new show.

But it's amazing to watch people go under. Out of a room of 300, about 50 go up on stage. Out of those 50, 20-40 people are hypnotized. Sometimes, people in the audience fall under and he'll pull them up on stage, too.

Just popping in to say OH MAN, I was the biggest hypno-skeptic in the world (and still sort of am), but there is a huge hypno-fetish scene in Boston right now, and a pretty quickly growing one in NYC. One of my best friends in the scene is practically the hypno-fetish mascot, she's so into it. I'm skeptical about the possibility of actual hypnotism and mind control, but damn, it sure is one hell of a fetish. If the person wants to be hypnotized, they can be made to do, and think, some crazy stuff.

Its also the most entertaining fetish to witness, at least with my friends, who are going to be thinking of some more creative things to do with someone in a trance than just have them suck cock or something. After watching my good friend run around a party absolutely terrified because she was convinced that she had lost her vagina and can we help her find it because holy shit it's gone, I was sold, at least as a voyeur

That's great! That's the kind of help I'm looking for.

 

[insert____here]

i had a look into the whole "orgasm on command" through hypnosis (as in my somewhat odd little head, giving my D that kind of ultimate control would be pretty great).

seems to be a valid option given the right skill levels and willingness of the participant.

not sure about doing it as a permanent part of a M/s D/s dynamic as it takes away the erotic aspect of someone willingly and consciously giving up their control in the power exchange.

could be just me being hypocritical though, cos on some level don't us pyl types do things more or less on command anyway??

(edited to add - my ex went through a quit smoking hypnosis session that worked great for two weeks until he found a half smoked pack of cigarettes and couldn't help himself. so it does work, provided you can follow through)

When I first saw this thread that was my immediate thought, too: could it be used for orgasm on command from my husband? Orgasm on written command from my online D? Could it help me with achieving the elusive g-gasm? What do you guys think? Any reasons that would NOT be a good idea? I feel like there might be a negative I'm not thinking of...

You don't have anything to be scared of. I think the biggest concern would be having it done wrong or poorly. Not because it would cause any lasting damage, but because it would leave you with a negative impression about possible experiences.

You don't have to be entirely under or in a trance to realize some possible benefits.

I like the thought of just... talking through some things in a way that might seem like hypnosis without the pressure of having someone feel like they have to 'go under'.

Something like a late night, relaxing in bed and just moving over every muscle and every inch of her body (verbally and mentally). After a while, I try to let things head off in a more erotic direction and I've had some - what you might call - favorable results.

And I take a cautious approach and keep it light and casual because I don't want to set it up to fail. By that, I mean that I just keep talking and don't challenge people to 'fight' but trying to do things like "move your arms. you can't move your arms" because people do fight and resist and want to see what how they react. I don't challenge anyone, but maybe that's because I'm not confident enough as a hypnotherapist.

But even still, it's seems to have a very effective... very positive result.

Master pretty much does hypnosis for a living..well that and other things..lol. From my point of view I agree with Netz. You can't make someone do something they wouldn't morally do. That's brainwashing, and it's a totally different ballgame.

I've also been in trance hundreds of times, and remember every second of it. I too am also confused why the OP posted this at all.

For a gentler subject-driven experience, I don't know if you're read up on Ericksonian, but you might find it interesting. It's more a...

"It's very likely that you find it hard to move your arms, you can if you want but you don't really need to if it's too hard"

versus "you can't move your arms"

I've had *really* nice results moving into that kind of a mode more often than not.
