I've been thinking a lot about my favorite erotica lately, so I thought I'd do another round of these links-and-reviews to hypnosis and mind control stories!
Still all maledom m/f or f/f...which is evidence that I should broaden my horizons, I think.
As a bonus - most of these have some kind of personal connection to one of my partners, whether said partner gave me a new perspective on the story or it inspired a scene.
Just Can't Get Enough by Jukebox (f/f, realistic hypnosis)
My Mandatory Jukebox Story. Do I even need to elaborate on what a fantastic writer he is? Anyway, I like this story because it combines a portrayal of negotiation with extremely hot trance play and a really adorable sense of humor. It's also a rare but excellent example of hypnotist's trance being described, and in a sexy fashion at that! Also, some of the similes are really golden - Nine called my attention to them, and they are seriously cute and funny.
Mandy by RC (f/f, noncon, robot fetish, sci-fi)
And this is my Mandatory RC Story. This is the first FemMech story, and by far the best. Yeah, it's a non-con story, but the gradual robotizing is hot. I also like the twist about Mandy 2542 halfway through the story - it not only foreshadows where the story is going, it hints that the setting is bigger than this one story.
I had Sluggish Twitch read this one...and while reading it, she IMed me to let me know she was getting really hot and bothered, and planned to masturbate once she finished. So with her permission, I dropped her and gave her the suggestion that she would do that masturbation as a robot as soon as she finished the story...she adored it. :)
Raggedy Anne by thrall (f/f, noncon, doll fetish, fantasy, heavy objectification/dehumanization)
Y'know, this one (with the exception of a few scattered moments) is not even that hot to me. It works for me as a sort of erotic horror story. thrall hits the objectification/transformation/control kinks really well, and it did not surprise me to learn later that this was a very personal fantasy for her. She writes with such energy - all of her stories have this grandeur, for lack of a better word, to them. Every thrall story has this sense of overwhelming power - it's easy to get sucked into her descriptions of mindlessness, helplessness, and brainwashed obedience because of how passionately she writes. She describes these things with the same kind of power that Lovecraft wrote about otherworldly horrors - except that she provokes eroticism instead of terror. Well...maybe a little terror!
Bound to Please by Jay Petto (m/f, noncon, objectification, humiliation)
Now this one...well, Jay Petto's stories tend to all fit into a single niche (marionette fetish scenes, usually involving psychic powers). And that's a good niche, because nobody else is doing them! And they're pretty good! This one stands head and shoulders above the rest, in my estimation, because it has a sense of love and energy built into it that I find really enthralling.
This one gets a particular nod for inspiring some scenes with sleepingirl - it certainly suggested the puppet strings routine that I use frequently, and sleepingirl asked that I make my strings more like the ones in this story (IE, every use of them sends a surge of pleasure through her body). At any rate, there are a lot of little bits that are strikingly hot, for both dollification elements and humiliation elements.
The Chip by Darkmind (m/f, robot fetish, sci-fi, brief in-story simulation of non-consent)
Darkmind tends to write these dark morality tale stories about abusive mind control....and here he instead wrote a sci-fi scene story. As in, portraying the BDSM and mind control/robot fetishism...of the future! It's a really sweet story, and the scene is varied in a fun way. I like how the top readjusts after several ideas don't work -I enjoy that sense of fallibility and humanity, that a scene involves constantly reevaluating what's happening in order to get the result that both people want. It's left vague whether the specific missteps were negotiated beforehand; I'd like to imagine that they were idly mentioned in a conversation about the scene, and then simply didn't work out in practice. (What can I say, if I see a gap like that, I prefer to fill it in consent culture style.)
This story came to mind when Nine drew up a really fascinating scale of autonomy for mind controlled characters - since the bottom goes all over the scale over the course of the story. I may post this scale and my thoughts on it in the future!
:D yay shout-out! I think you knew this but I've heard of most of these stories and read a few of them (obviously). Arrrghghh that Jukebox story... OMG. You know my feelings on it, but, gaaahhhhh! Hot hot hot times a thousand realistic hypnosis in a believable setting with believable characters, even though it's clearly a porny piece. Good taste in Jukebox stories :3
