Hi all! I've been not-posting for far longer than I'd have liked, and would really like to get back on track.
The most exciting news right now is - I'm doing another hypnosis demo! This one is going to be for my current kink community, with Lovely Petal as my assistant and demo bottom, and it will be one year to the day of my last hypnosis demo (February 11). I am extremely excited for this!
Alongside that news, I thought I'd throw in some thoughts on hypnotist's trance.
It is said - often - in the erotic hypnosis community that any hypnotist worth his salt will go under themselves while hypnotizing somebody. That said, this phenomenon is frequently mentioned only in passing, without any kind of description of what it's like. Alert EMCSA readers will occasionally see it portrayed by the writers who really know what they're doing - Jukebox has worked the phenomenon into a few of his stories, sometimes implicitly and sometimes explicitly.
Since I like to fill in gaps I see in the info out there on hypno-domming, I thought I'd throw in my own experience of hypnotist's trance - especially since I am often asked what I am getting out of hypno-play as the dom, and really, this is a huge part of the answer to that.
When I am hypnotizing somebody - my world closes around the two of us. My focus shifts entirely to the person I'm working with. My brain, my mouth, my voice, even to some extent my eyes - these all go on autopilot. My voice becomes soft, seductive, and soothing. My thoughts become entirely fixated on the other person, and I feel wrapped in the exhilarating feeling that there is nobody else in the world except the two of us, that nothing else in the outside world matters - all that matters is this one erotic, beautiful moment between us. For the entire induction process, I act rather than think - I smoothly shift my brain and transform into a well-oiled hypnotizing machine, able to rattle off all of my stock inductions, becoming so finely attuned to my hypnotized partner that I automatically adjust any time one of my methods is clearly not working, or whenever I know of a method that I'm sure will work even better. The trial and error inherent in sussing out the best way to work with somebody flows together into one continuous process.
(This is yet another reason why negotiation is so all-important - I need a plan beforehand, and while I remain in control enough to avoid things that I know are pitfalls or bad areas for my partner, I nonetheless need some guidance so that I can set up a framework prior to entering this autopilot state.)
There's a major ego trip involved, obviously - those feelings of omnipotence, isolation, and power all feel great.
I've definitely done hypnosis sessions where I haven't entered this state as strongly - where I've had more awareness of the world around me (usually by necessity - gotta account for these things even as I'm making sure that they don't interfere with the session), where I've been distracted by other things, where I've had to take a step back and re-adjust because none of my approaches have been working.
But when I do a well-negotiated hypnosis session with somebody, where I know what to do and how to do it beforehand - where I'm able to let go, let that person become my entire world, let myself ride the rush that I get from making it all happen and feeling my voice smoothly shift gears to handle the situation -
That is just a sample of what I'm getting out of hypno-domming.
