Erotic Hypnosis: Seduced to the Depths

There are many things that personally appeal to my arousal when it comes to my hypno-kink.

The control a hypnotist experiences can be quite intoxicating. It's incredibly arousing to reach into someone's mind so completely that you can make them do or think whatever strikes your fancy. The rush of power is undeniable and in many cases within my hypno-kink journey, it's been the main arousing force that attracts me to it.

But I've found that it's not the control itself that makes my blood boil the most. It's the seduction...

To me, hypnosis has always been another word for seduction. Or rather, one of the many branches that composes it. Sure, there are more fantastical and fictional ways of portraying mind control and hypnosis general where the subject is 'forced' into a state of helpless trance. But even then... Mind control, when it touches base with hypnosis, is always aimed at tricking or seducing the subject's mind into letting go.

Through pleasure... Through reasoning... Through promises...

Hypnosis (and to an extend, mind control) is used to seduce both the waking mind as well as the subconscious.

Inductions are designed to relax and calm the subject so they can slowly slip into a peaceful serene state where there waking mind can 'shut off' in favor of letting their subconscious take over.

Trances do the same for the subconscious by slowly convincing it that they want to trust the words (and person) they hear.

No subject, awake or in trance, can be forced to accept something if they aren't, on some basic level, seduced.

Even when you stray from the path of ethical and proper hypnosis play and take a look into the darker side of our kink, predators still need to find a way to seduce your mind so you'll give-into their manipulations.

To me, hypnosis (especially erotic hypnosis) is very much like a siren's call, beckoning the curious into it's depths. As a kink-writer and hypnotist, I've always been more inspired by the 'conquering' or 'seduction' of a subject than the actual control that comes afterwards. Not that I'm NOT inspired by a subject's or character's completely submission because that is always infinitely arousing.

There's just something... Erotic... About the process of hypnotic seduction...

A siren's call is, and I quote, something that is designed to be very appealing and makes a person want to follow or do something that could have a bad result. Hypnosis is much the same... For those of us that stay in the proper ethical lanes of hypno-kink, the bad result is just something that 'could' happen and is kept at bay by the mutual trust hypnotist and subject share.

For others, the siren call is very real and they seduce unsuspecting subjects in order to make them want the bad result they wish to see.

Seduction is needed in both cases though and unless there is trust and rapport, it's hard to distinguish which type of siren you are following.

In my humble opinion, seduction brings just as much satisfaction to the seducer as it does to the seduced.

Isn't it exquisite when you watch your carefully planned induction slowly take hold and you get to witness your subject slowly give themselves to you? Isn't it intoxicating to see their resistance melt away under the sweet and gentle caresses of your words? It's like coming onto your lover when they aren't quite in the mood...

You come in soft... Caring... Playing on what they respond to... Slipping in small doses of pleasure and affection so you can melt away they frosty demeanor until they give in and start to match the erotic mood you are slowly guiding them towards.

As a subject, isn't it so exhilarating to be the target of such a well laid out induction? To know that the hypnotist is using all their cunning, confidence, talents and knowledge just to help you experience the peace that comes with trance? Doesn't it make you feel so very special to be the focus of all that attention? To be the one thing they want in that moment?

Doesn't it melt you up inside when your lover can't help but slowly seduce you?

Hypnosis is many things and that's a big part of it's allure. But for me, hypnosis is just another face of seduction and feeling that seduction take hold and slowly convert someone's mind and desires will always be a truly inspiring thing that ignites my kink.

On the few occasions where I've trusted someone enough to experience hypnosis as a subject, I know it was a big part of the allure for me to be the one being expertly seduced by a sensual hypnotist.

And be seductively pulled into the depths of trance by an alluring siren...

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

[thoughtportal]

the things that are reported matters. the language used matters. what is left out of the story matters.

Sometimes I think about my old manager at work who, in order to prove that the organisation was safe for trans people, told me about a fellow trans employee—a woman who was passing! who wasn’t out to me or to anyone else!—and about how chill everyone in management had been about her needing to take time off TO GET VAGINOPLASTY. He was not her manager! He was not her friend! He did not work in HR! There was no way he could have come into this PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION without being told by another manager who had gossiped. And even if there had been, why the fuck was it any of my business!

Likewise, a friend of mine was just told by a school principal about how a prospective school was safe for trans kids… because a trans girl whose parents don’t affirm her at home is able to be affirmed at school. This information about this child’s gender and home environment was relayed along with her FUCKING GRADE LEVEL. This incredibly vulnerable kid was wheeled out as a selling point by the school with way more than enough information to figure out who she was.

In order to make the argument that a place is safe for trans people, cis people are wayyyy too happy to give out private information about trans people. With allies like these, who needs enemies!!!

KOSA update 7/25/24:

Well, unsurprisingly, KOSA passed the Senate procedural vote 86-1.

Proof:

Again, they still have to vote on the final passage & the House still has to vote on it as well.

So, focus on your House Representative now; Continue to call them & tell them to vote ‘No’ to KOSA. Remember: There is more opposition to KOSA in the House.

Spread this around. Don’t panic!

Keep calm & keep fighting!!

Musings and Safeties: Submission is Voluntary

And as a hypnotic subject or a general submissive, if you find yourself in a scene where the 'Dom' or 'Tist' doesn't get that, kindly have the presence of spirit to tell them to fuck off.

You always have to remember that it's YOUR surrender... YOUR submission...

Even if you are into non-con play, covert hypnosis, forced submission play or unaware brainwashing, always know that YOU are the one that needs to agree to it. Anyone that tries to convince you otherwise has no business enjoying your submission.

I say all this because someone asked me to better explain why I stated, in my previous post, that "the subject controls the hypnosis they allow the hypnotist to perform".

Broken down in simple terms, it simply means that as a subject, you should ALWAYS have the last say as to what you are made to experience. You should ALWAYS have a way to wake up or stop a scene. On the surface, you might be completely powerless under your hypnotist's dominance, but that doesn't mean that on the deeper, true level of your interaction, you aren't in control.

Or at least, if you are in a healthy scene, you should be and if you are not, that's a MAJOR red flag.

It can be a little confusing and counter intuitive, I know...

You need to think about it as if you were in a BDSM type relationship. In Dominance/submission play, the one that ultimately holds the reins is the sub. Meaning that they are the ones giving themselves to the Dom. They have all the power when it comes to limits and what they allow the Dom to do with them. They CHOOSE to partake in a power-exchange that places them beneath the other.

In that same sense, a hypnosis subject isn't a 'victim' of the trance even if some subjects love to experience covert inductions or 'forced' inductions. Just like in BDSM, the scene you are doing might appear, on the surface to be wholly non-consensual. But that's JUST the surface.

It's the fantasy you both chose to enjoy together and at the end of the day in your heart of hearts, it was still your choice to do it.

The subject ALLOWS the hypnotist to take control.

The subject ALLOWS the hypnotist to do a certain list of things to them.

In hypno-kink a safe practice to use when you begin to explore is to make sure you always have a way to stop a scene or session. Like, for example, using a safe word.

Safe words can be used by the subject to bring themselves out of trance. It doesn't matter what they are. The important thing is to spend some time with your hypnotist so they can implant that idea in your mind in a way that remains always accessible to you even if you are deeply entranced.

If your hypno-play is less intense or doesn't flirt as much with the non-consent part of the kink, then another way you can stay in control is to use setup that enables you to communicate with your hypnotist without waking up.

A typical example of this would be to use a color code: Green means all is well, yellow means to slow down or change directions and red means stop.

THAT is what I meant when I said that a subject controls the hypnosis.

If you are with a hypnotist that can't be bothered to accept this, then it is another MAJOR RED flag.

We are all here to enjoy the power play hypno-kink offers (as well as Dominance/submissive or BDSM play), but it's very important to remember that THAT power play is only possible through mutual consent.

And were there isn't consent, there is abuse and in some cases, a felony.

So again, if you find yourself experiencing your kink with someone that can't understand that the 'Dom' or 'Tist' isn't the one that is truly in control, then kindly tell them to FUCK off.

The end of online privacy

Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).

But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.

This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.

I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.

If this shit passes, lemme tell you...

LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,

people looking for abortions,

people organizing protests,

anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices, 

even FAN ARTISTS...

Even people reading fan fiction...

And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...

It's all gone. No privacy.

They'll have your face, your name, your age, where you live.

You'll need an ID to use any US-based platform, even if you're NOT in the United States.

Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍

Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.

I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.

I'm shy, but I did it!

Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.

Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.

Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.

(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)

STAY SAFE!

It's so cruel that if a black schizophrenic person wants any kind of help, they probably have to call 911, a centralized line for all emergency services. Even if they don't intend to call the police, there's a chance of them being sent in place of other emergency services. If you ask for them not to be called, you'll rarely be listened to. Then, the advice for dealing with police is to be in complete control of yourself, not be erratic in the slightest way because it gives ground for your death. So if you are someone who is not in control of yourself, who has a disorder that effects your ability to control your speech, body, mind, etc etc, you cannot call for help without risking death or institutionalization

New zine that's free for anyone to print and distribute! Read the whole thing at newlevant.com/COVIDzine or in the rest of this post.

UPDATE 4/11/2023:

I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!

As of recent I had to look back on my safeties and expectations with hypnosis, which I need to double down on as a subject to ensure I’m able to make more carefully considered decisions while under.

I recently had an experience that gives me some anxiety of people putting me under spontaneously in a private setting. With the right person I absolutely would be comfortable, In fact there are a few hypnotists I find super fun to talk to and would love to try a session with. I also have had several group sessions that have turned out to be super fun and enjoyable.

There are times however that expectations needs to be set, especially if more intense themes are expected from one or the other and boundaries needs to be made.

Soon I’ll be looking into a session to reinforce safeties, but in the meantime I’ll stick with those I fully trust putting me under.

the kids online safety act passed the u.s. senate.

long story short (for anyone who hadn't heard of this before) the kids online safety act, aka kosa, is a bill that will censor online content and resources for lgbtq+ matters, reproductive healthcare, activism (INCLUDING PALESTINE AND LIKELY OTHER CRISES GOING ON LIKE IN CONGO OR SUDAN), mental health, etc. everywhere--its effects likely won't be contained to just america.

today, july 30th, 2024, the senate passed it 91-3. it has officially moved to the house of representatives.

is this a pretty massive setback? yes. do you have every right to be scared, sad, angry, or whatever else about this happening? absolutely. but should you give up hope completely? NO!

even though kosa passed the senate, the house is on break/august recess at the moment. we have around an entire month to get emails, calls, and faxes in to house reps, maybe more depending on when they decide to vote on it.

should it pass the house and get signed into law, we still have a whole 18 months before it actually goes into effect. this is plenty of time for digital rights orgs (e.g. fight for the future, the electronic frontier foundation) and other groups that oppose it to file a lawsuit against it. even if, worst-case scenario, it flies through the house immediately after the recess ends, we can still fight this up to march 2026.

so, yes, remember what's at stake here, but also remember that it's not over yet. we lost a battle, not the war.

below are some resources to learn more about kosa and how to contact your reps (first link) + a page that lets you directly contact progressive house reps, sign an open letter opposing the bill, and view others' testimonies against it (second link):

FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

you guys need to be normal about people who don't like penetration. people who don't get hard easily. people who finish quickly. people who participate in kink without having sex. people who don't like being touched. people who don't like giving head. people who only like penetration. people who (almost) always squirt. people who take a long time to cum. people who have a hard time getting wet. people who don't talk during sex or anything else that is not part of the way you think people or bodies should behave during sex
