You may have an idea from the movies of what it might be, a seductive person taking control of the minds of their subjects and using them however they want. Think Poison Ivy in Batman, for example.
The reality is somewhat different. This isn’t mind control, though that doesn’t mean it can’t affect your mind!
Erotic Hypnosis is the intersection between focus, relaxation, meditation, and arousal. It’s psychological sexuality, lovemaking of the mind.
What does that mean in practice.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a means to bring someone into a trance state, a state of extreme focus, often to the point of eschewing what’s going on around them. You may have the idea that hypnosis is like sleep, but that’s only partially true. It’s actually a state of almost total focus on a single thing, for example the voice of the hypnotist or the concept they’re introducing to you.
A hypnotist helps to guide you into this state through an induction, often verbal but sometimes visual or even through touch. The induction brings the subject into that state of trance by helping them direct their focus on what they and the hypnotist agree to.
In that state, you aren’t asleep, but you are (usually) relaxed and calm, and it can feel a little like sleeping or having a dream. You’re also far more open to suggestion in this state, which allows the hypnotist to bypass the ‘conscious’ mind – the rational, thinking, logical part of you that makes decisions, and speak directly to the ‘subconscious’, the part of your mind that acts automatically, on instinct.
A great place to start learning is with the book ‘Reality is Plastic’ by Anthony Jacquin. That will give you the basics of hypnosis, and teach you the concepts and practices that define this unique area of psychology. I will caveat that this book isn’t meant for subjects and does not discuss informed consent but it’s a good introduction to knowing what your hypnotist is doing, so you can understand their intentions. For more on being a receptive subject, this article is a brief, but useful read.
Do be aware that hypnosis, trance, and all the assorted feelings and states vary individually. How you experience it may be very different to how someone else does. There is no right or wrong way to experience hypnosis, as long as you’re enjoying it and are safe.
But that’s just hypnosis, and you’re here for erotic hypnosis, or hypnokink, however you want to describe it.
Erotic Hypnosis
Erotic Hypnosis takes the ideas from clinical and recreational hypnosis, and uses them to induce that same suggestibility, in order to stimulate, excite, and arouse primarily, but also for other physical sensations, or specific fetishes. It can give you a hands-free orgasm, or chain you to your bed. Mostly, it’s just a way to explore a scene in your mind, driving your imagination wild and igniting your desire…
