Mind Control Stories?

[Selena_Kitt]

Ok can someone explain this category to me? What do readers like/want? Does anyone write/read these? Any good ideas?

 

[sirhugs]

I only read them by accident, or if it is a writer I adore.

The few I've read seem to resemble nonconsent stories - drugs or fairy dust overcoming the reason of the objectified person, who then does things he or more likely she would not otherwise do.

If you need to write on for the survivor challemge, I suggest that you read a few high scoring ones off the top list.

yeah I did that... but I still don't quite get what readers are really looking for, you know? what's the appeal, the hook?

 

[silverwhisper]

my guess is a non-violent and/or non-confrontational version of non-consent.

I think readers want the person to beable to overcome something. . . a weakness, a fear, something holding them back from becoming more sexually satisfied. I've only written one, it gets average feedback. Helpful Whispers isn't my finest or my worse, but it was what I came up with as I wrote.

Mind Control... I have a feeling this lends itself to three trains of action. The first is the vampire option. The image is the vampire controling the victim's mind so he can do whatever he does. This ends up usually in the Erotic Horror Catagory.

The other is where someone has some ability (like hypnotism - I wrote one of these and got death threats) or device (ala mad scientist, alien or something) that allows him/her/it to control the mind of their target. This usually ends up in the Sci-Fi or Non-Consent Catagories.

The last thing I could imagine is sort of a BDSM story where the Sub is so controlled, physically and mentally, by the Master that the Sub effectively becomes mind control. This goes to BDSM.

So I don't see any real need for a Mind Control Catagory at all.

The best story I ever read in that category, and I only read it because the title sounded like it would be funny, is Melvin's Magic Love Juice

It isn't totally about mind control - the other chapters are in other categories. But the author used the Mind Control aspect mostly as a plot device. As I recall, at first Melvin isn't quite aware of his powers at all, and soon thereafter the powers put him in some really awkward situations, where beautiful women are throwing themselves at him for no apparent reason.

Some mind-control things are just sort of skeevy - like those commercials for a cell phone where the person on the subway makes people do really embarassing things. It's supposed to be funny, but just comes across as mean. Unless you're going in the sort of gothic-horror direction, where the mind control is really just a metaphor for overcoming one's own inhibitions, I think it's really important to keep it light.

Well, Hell, RedHairedandFriendly... Whispers got my motor running

Well, thanks, glad you enjoyed.

As Silverwhisper said, it's a non confrontational non consent story.

Now as for a story idea, well I got a couple, though rather interconnected.

First: Youngish man who is unable to have an orgasm, his wife/girlfriend sends him to a phsychiatrist to get treatment for this problem since he tests healthy. The phsychiatrist he see's is a woman, who talks to him and eventually gets to the root of his problem, he is seriously worried about having kids say, despite knowing his wife/girlfriend is on birth control and wearing a condom doesn't help. She hypnotyses him into thinking that he is incapable of having kids, with a side effect, he is a sex fiend. Takes his doctor right there, then goes home to his wife/girlfriend and does her for the rest of the day.

Second: A woman who just can't have anal sex, she is seriously grossed out by the thought let alone the actual. Her husband/boyfriend is having a similar problem as above, but in his case, it's because he isn't doing her there. Frustrated she goes to a phsychiatrist for treatment on her very strong abhorence of anal, in the course of the treatment she allows the doctor to do her there, and then heads home to husband, stopping twice on the way to get guys to do her there again.

I've been seeing psychiatrists and psychologists for years - believe me, there's very little mind control happening there.

 

[sirhugs]

post hypnotic suggestion anyone?

 

[Tanuki]

I've read and written some stories or SRPs with mind control. I think it's more like a way of getting characters into situations when you can't think of realistic ways to do it. If you have an innocent, naive character and want her to go wild or do outrageous things, it's not so believable without mind control, blackmail etc.

I like to use it sparingly, so the character doesn't become a puppet. If I can think of a plausable way to do it without mind control, I'll do that instead. I don't think it works well except in sci-fi/fantasy stories either.

Yeah... Like this one ---> http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=105331

but I notice that one is indexed under " Nonconsent". I think part of the issue here is rthe fifference between those two categories.

I was thinking of a suggestion which makes the person consenting, though only because of the hypnosis.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

yeah... that was a problem, SirHugs. (Jenny_Jackson and Jenny _S are the same person, btw). When I wrote that story and went to post it, I was in a quandry as exactly where to put it. Sometimes these stories don't really quite fit in any catagory. Non-Consent would indicate to me forced sex or rape. Both force and rape are confrontational.

Interesting point you bring up - hypnosis has the consent of the object. Does that mean sex with a hypnotized person in non-confrontational?

in real life, I think you'd have some legal issues. I was talking about story category purposes only

I still have the same quandry? Would the story belong in "Mind Control" or "Non-Consensual". Seems like it would be either/or. In which case is there really a difference?

See, I'm not the only one confused by this cat!

My personal favorite story in the MC genre would probably be Ugly, Stupid, & Fat, though I love all of D. Holzer's work. Birthday Engagement by Decker and Lingerie by MC Writer are also nice stories.

On Literotica, Music of the Mind is a nice story.

As a reader, I have a preference for positive MC. So, the MC would be used to help people or with permission or at the very least has a happy ending. I also love epic MC stories like Music of the Mind and Pretender to the Throne.

I think it is worth noting that Lingerie and Birthday Engagement are both fully consensual, for those who remarked about fear of MC due to NC. D. Holzer's Career trilogy is also a pretty good choice for those wanting consent. Really, all the stories I pointed out have mostly ethical main characters.

And I can't mention MC without mentioning Beauty at the Bar (shameless plug!). Not that good, but it's a first :/

I doubt anyone will ever really understand this until Laural gives us a better definition.

Hello, Btw

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

I've written 4 MC stories so far (3 chapters of Enough Bickering and 1 so far of Do As You're Told). Both were in an office/work setting, and meant to get around the whole sexual harassment/office politics kind of thing. They were fantasies of controlling co-workers and making them do great stuff that they wouldn't do otherwise. I don't regret it. In fact, Enough Bickering has done particularly well. I love the idea of overcoming inhibitions and other forms of repression.

Yes, it seems unrealistic, but as Obi-Wan Kenobi notes in Stars Wars "The Force can have a tremendous effect on the weak-minded." LOL. I don't apologize for what is clearly fantasy anyway. Plus, I'm into magic and sci-fi anyway.

Just wait till you see such a story where the guy is using mind control on his three wives (group sex and loving wives) to get them to have anal sex with him (anal sex) and eachother (lesbian sex), oh, and don't forget, one of the wives is black, and another is asian (interracial), and the third turns out to be a vampire (erotic horror).

Have fun

God I love this thread. SerinaKitten's avitar makes me wet

But I'm still confused.

[snerk]Pfft! You get wet walking down the vegetable aisle in the supermarket! "Hmm, kiwi fruit!"

Okay, suppose you had a gay best friend. You like to shop together, watch Lifetime, he does your hair for free, he'll scout out Nordstrom Rack and knows when they put the shoes out, he's perfect for taking out to social functions, always knows the right thing to say that makes you look good to your peers, and all your girlfriends think he's completely hot. Plus, he loves to eat pussy, and he's really great at it, and up for it anytime. And when you're in the mood, he has a hot friend who'll come over and do all those nasty MMF things that you think about sometimes.

Too good to be true? Not in the Mind Control cat!
