Volunteer 2: Georgie

Georgie was the first person to reply to my request for a volunteer on Fetlife. She's fairly new to the kink scene, although she'd been to an event or two and knew her way around getting tied up.

She's also genderqueer (her words: "apathetic to gender") (she told me that female pronouns are OK, btw) and not into men. She also asked that she have a friend to watch her and make sure I didn't go any further than her limits - all good by me. That lack of attraction created a very different dynamic than I am used to. No cuddling during the deepening, and I restricted my own use of touching and contact to downplay/eliminate any sexual overtones of the process. This resulted in a strikingly different session from the one with Pet Ferret, who was not only more suggestible but also very attracted to me.

Also of interest: Georgie had already tried out some hypnosis MP3s beforehand. In the Fetlife PM exchange setting up our meeting, we commented on our separate experiences with Isabella Valentine's MP3s - she didn't like the theatricality of Isabella's presentation, and I had some of the same feeling (I more disliked the subtle conflation of submission with humiliation in the file I listened to). From this, she could tell me what worked well for her - direct commands rather than imagery, focus on bodily relaxation and modulation. In other words: my strengths as a hypnotist. Lucky!

The session with Pet Ferret, due to the sexual dynamics in place and Ferret's high susceptibility, was very much scene-scene-scene-negotiation-scene-scene-sexy times. Georgie's session was more stop-and-start, with a gradual working-up to each hypnotic suggestion.

So, the two of us met up and chatted a bunch about this and that, making all of the negotiation crystal clear. (This was very important to me because, as I stated before, she is not into cis men and I wanted to be absolutely clear about her limits.) The itinerary for the day was hypno bondage, freezing, maybe an orgasm, anything else to be negotiated as we went.

Euphoric after my handshake success with Ferret and hoping to play on pre-existing hypnosis knowledge, I asked Georgie if she had heard of handshake inductions. That was a no, which made the subsequent attempt really awkward. Making her aware of the fact that I was doing something unusual got her laughing when she felt the hand motions, so I took a break to explain what I was trying to do before moving on to a different approach.

I did my classic handy-dandy hands-stuck induction (with pocket watch as visual focus). This induction was one of the first I came across, and the one I used to put my first girlfriend under for the first time; the language I use is based on the heavy arm/light arm induction used in this story, the first piece of hypno-erotica I ever read. (Thank you, RC, for using painstakingly accurate induction techniques in your stories.) When I am in doubt, I go with this since I know my way around it so thoroughly. It has failed me exactly once, which was not with Georgie on this day.

After the induction, I led her through a feet-to-head progressive relaxation to deepen the trance, with particular focus on her breathing and her neck muscles. This led to a little bit of awkwardness since the couch she was sitting on was not really built for someone to lean back in. I then gave her the countdown-from-50 deepener; I had her do the counting while I continued on with a repetitive relaxation patter in the background. This worked, and she was clearly feeling very relaxed and calm by the end of it. I thought I'd move into one kind of hypnobondage by having her arms get really light; my intent was to have her arms rise upward and stay there, unable to be brought back down. However, while her arms moved with the jerky motion of someone in a deep trance, it looked to me that this wasn't the best way to go (the trajectory of her arms wasn't ideal for a bondage scene, the motion indicated that the "effortless" part wasn't quite in effect); I switched gears to make it a deepener, suggesting that her arms would fall back down and her whole body would relax even more once one of her hands touched her face.

I brought her back out, renegotiated where to go next, and she relocated to a nice, comfy chair in the room that let her sprawl out, relax, and prepare to be bound with her mind.

The ropeless bondage here was pretty simple stuff - arms up, hands stuck to the chair, feet stuck to the footrest. Due to that whole "no sexual contact" thing, I was unsure where to take the scene - asked if it was OK to tickle her, only to have her quite happily tell me (after I had started) that she wasn't ticklish. With a different subject, under a different dynamic, and in a different context, that would have merited a punishment. >:) But, since this was Georgie under this dynamic in this context, I put her back under, unbound her, relaxed her, and moved on to some freezing.

She liked this. I had her totally lock in place, unable to speak, when I said "Freeze, Georgie." She chose to be completely frozen, rather than able to speak like Ferret was. Her muscles remained relaxed despite being frozen - another sign of deep trance, and very cool. I always get a kick out of seeing different people's faces when they're frozen and mute. Most hypnotees' faces relax and go blank, staring straight ahead; a tiny, tiny percentage of people (including exactly one of my subs) will have frozen expressions on their faces, usually with their eyes going unfocused. Georgie's eyes kind of slid to the side and stayed there, which was interesting - more on this in a bit. Anyway, I put her in a few model-ish poses, but she was overcome with the giggles when I moved her to a sleepwalker/zombie pose; so I unfroze her and asked what she thought.

"That felt really cool!" She and I chatted a bit about the appeal of freezing to a kinky audience, as well as the way that subs who like being gagged always choose to be unable to speak while frozen. I froze her again after she enthused about the feeling, then we just kind of talked for a while about this and that (the discussion of audience led to some rich tangents).

Somewhere in that discussion, I recalled the time that I made an ex of mine forget a number. The chaperone then insisted that I have Georgie forget the number 4 (coincidentally the same number said ex forgot - the chaperone and I probably had the same thought process on it).

Having covered the big two phenomena I want to showcase at the demo, I asked if there was anything else she would like to experience. When asked for some ideas, I offered the idea of an extra-submissive headspace in addition to some amnesia. She was intrigued. So, in keeping with the style of suggestion I had been using (gradual, less overtly dominant, less overtly sexual), I gradually had her thoughts fall asleep, to be replaced in her head with my voice. Once that happened, I had her imagine all of her control, all of the stress and tension that comes from having control, getting sucked into my pocket watch, leaving her awash in a feeling of deep, powerful submissiveness. As I described waves of submission washing over her, I gave her the suggestion that she could not remember her name, that it would be replaced by her preferred submissive epithet ("pet," in this case).

I woke Georgie up in this submissive headspace - different from how I had done it with anyone else. Like when she was frozen, her eyes drifted to the side, becoming slightly downcast. I asked her if this avoidance of eye contact came naturally to her in this state, and she said she guessed so.

"What is your name?"
"Pet..."
"Has that always been your name?"
"No..."
"Can you remember what your name was before?"
"...almost!..."
"And now you feel it slipping away the more you try to remember it, feeling your name slip away more and more as you feel those waves of submissiveness wash over you, wash over your mind and being..."

After bringing her back to her full senses and determining that she really enjoyed that, we agreed to go for the hypnotic orgasm. I brought her back down into trance, established that she could use the classic "green/yellow/red" safewords during this scene, and asked her for some of her favorite sensations. In this case, being bound at the wrists. So, I stuck her wrists together and then suggested that they were tied to the ceiling by a very strong cable. Unlike many of the hypnobondage recipients I've tranced, she struggled a lot against the rope and seemed to really feel it and move her body to the best position possible to enjoy what came next.

Since we had agreed on no contact for this scene, I had Georgie open her eyes and watch the watch again, suggesting that as she watched the watch she felt fingers working her clit. When asked for feedback, she described the feeling as a "light buzzing"...I proceeded to suggest that it got stronger the more she looked at the watch. This didn't seem to work well, so, improvising time! The more she watched the watch, the heavier her eyelids felt, and the stronger the buzzing felt - until it doubled in intensity once her eyes closed. Her eyes melted shut, and she reacted quite visibly. Still bound by her own mind, starting to breathe heavily with arousal and sensation, I then suggested that the buzzing would double in intensity every time I snapped my fingers.

*snap*

"Feeling it more and more, feeling it building surely but steadily to a powerful orgasm..."

*snap*

*snap*

*snap*

This went on for quite a while, a gradual, sensual buildup that left her shaking, struggling against the mental bonds, subtly bucking her hips, until, as suggested, Georgie rasped out the word "ready" to indicate that she was ready to come. 5...4...3...2...1...ORGASM. Watching her savor the orgasm and start to feel the afterglow, I suggested that she could ride out the orgasm as long as she wanted, bask in the afterglow and the feeling of submissiveness and the relaxation of trance as long as she wanted, and that she would count herself back up to full wakefulness when she was ready. After a few moments of basking, she did just that, and woke up to say, "THAT was FUCKING FUN!"

We had a fun conversation at this point about how she didn't believe hypnotic orgasms were possible when she saw them advertised by Isabella Valentine, and my personal theory that certain hypno-fetish porn sites (if they use real hypnosis) probably suggest to the models that they will fake orgasms rather than have orgasms upon a trigger.

So, all of this over, we had a closing friendly chat and then both headed off to our separate obligations.

Her Fetlife status afterward:

"Wow! Didn't think anyone could have an orgasm from only hypnosis, but Spiral_Turquoise proved me wrong!"

All in all, a very interesting, very cerebral trance session where the extra work that I put into some suggestions paid off big time. Sessions like this - no sexual contact contact, doing slow buildups and more subtle submissive feelings instead of straight mindlessness - are a fascinating contrast to the kind of hot, passionate encounter that I had with Pet Ferret. Still thoroughly enjoyable, in a different way that is also deeply rewarding.

As is, both Georgie and Pet Ferret are alright with the idea of having some two-person scenes during the demo. This isn't something I expected to do, so I'm going to have to rework my idea of how this whole thing will go down to work in all the new possibilities here.

Chances are my next post will be the report from the demo. :D
