Mind Control...

[Zeb_Carter]

He/she wakes from some horrific event in their life (be it struck by lightning, an accident, etc.) and find out that they can merge with another's mind. In some cases they can take control of the person they merge with and experience the feelings of that person.

While this is happening their body is dormant. So they can't make that hot girl/guy come over to their house to have hot naked sex. They can however make the hot guy/girl have sex with someone else and experience every feeling. The good and the bad. The mind they control may not be able to resist, but they will still have all the feelings, be that joy, excitement or revulsion at what they are being made to do.

The obvious problem is: how does the immobilized protagonist KNOW they're actually effecting MC and not just hallucinating? This sounds pretty Exckankar to me...

Well Light Yagami would test it out on people that he could quickly confirm and or deny. Co-workers, maybe getting them marked in some say (a hickie too high up to hide or at least that hiding would require wearing a turtle neck in the middle of July or some similar craziness. Even if your body is "dormant" you could still be in plenty of public places. I know I've had friends who were passed out with us at Denny's so if me and my friends went to Denny's and I passed out just as the hot waitress decided to drag my friend off the bathroom nobody would bother me.

At any rate finding ways to confirm that this is not just a dream is as simple as sending yourself an email from from someone you possess or something else similar. At least with the ones that can be controlled.

I guess he/she could just be a schizophrenic and be hallucinating...there are ways to check that though...

I like the email sent by the controlled person. Good.

Of course he just gave the person he/she is controlling information he may not want them to have.

Okay, let's look at the OP idea. It's actually traditional -- over the decades, I've seen various tales of evil wizards immobilized as they cast their minds to far corners of the world (or realm). Their mind-casting may be limited to an all-seeing eye, or may be able to effect remote magic, or take over the minds-bodies-souls of others. The evil wizard usually has motivations beyond easy sex, which is really sort of trivial compared to gaining ULTIMATE POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH and stuff like that.

If I was such an evil wizard (or the OP lightning-strike victim) and I could control others, even if frozen for the duration, I would probably try for much more than mere out-of-body fucks. Much more -- like, direct my MC-stooges to transfer money and property to me. Once I've accumulated sufficient wealth and thus power, unlimited pleasures of the flesh can be bought or rented, no problem. Then the tale becomes another chapter of THE BILLIONAIRE'S STORY.

To heighten drama: Not only is the controller immobilized whilst controlling others, he/she gradually deteriorates physically, eventually becoming paralyzed, so they can ONLY act and feel through their minions. Now we're in classical tragedy territory, tracing the downfall of the once-mighty. Inevitability ensues.

Or, flip that for classical satiric comedy, tracing the rise of the powerless via absurdity, vice, folly, corruption. The protagonist is a useless schlub before being hit by lightning -- but their powers, although profound, are also flawed. Maybe the controlled always fuck up somehow, or the controller has very limited vision and desires. It's a sardonic story.

Okay, but this is an erotic site, not a megalomania site. So, let's just stick with the control of others for prurient interest.

Maybe after that I'll write the screenplay for the paralyzed megalomaniac controlling the world from his hospital bed movie of the week.

You could have them post on a forum, or do something that would end up on the news. Hell you could bring them to you and switch back. I know if I black out and wake up in a hospital room I'm not going to accuse the guy who was struck by lightning. I could have them spray paint my car. There are dozens upon dozens of ways to confirm with zero risk to me if I wanted to confirm.

To Hypoxia yeah you might come up with that stuff eventually. A lot of us, especially depending on the mind frame we were in when it started might not come to that right out the gate. Sayyou were struck at your friend's wedding, your prom, or something else where you maybe lost the chance to lose your virginity or something like that. I mean if I had that power any world leader involved in any sort of violence against his people or another nation would mysteriously walk in front of a goddamn bus after writing on their door. "This shit stops or leaders keep dying." And I'd rinse wash and repeat until world violence was over or buses were outlawed.

However there are tons and tons of stories about people who have powers who don't use them particularly well either because they are in the heat of the moment and unlike the viewer don't have time to realize "holy shit, if I can control water I can also control blood!" or simply their personality defects whatever they may be keeps them from realizing that they are infinitely more powerful than they act like.
