Hypnokink – A World of Erotic Hypnosis

Let's start by saying that Hypnosis is a two-edged sword. Yes, a lot of BDSM subs will find it quite exciting when their tops shower them with Hypnosis. This, however, doesn't go without saying that both parties must be careful while at it. With that established, let's get into the main discussion, i.e., the art of Hypnosis in a kinky arrangement.

Most people will agree that sex with the right Hypnosis is an excitement to a whole new level. For instance, imagine a partner that goes during sex: "Yeah, we are getting there. Just stay calm and relax. Now think about all the pleasure you are feeling right now. Oh! Let my soothing voice guide you. I bet you love the mixed feeling of relaxation and obedience?" Talks like these are called Hypnosis, and when done the right way, it can enhance submission, pleasure, and the overall BDSM experience for both the top and the sub.

That sounds exciting, right? Of course, it does, if only we all know how to go about it. But not to worry, this article will get you started with erotic Hypnosis and its place in BDSM. Let's get to it.

As you would expect, scientists and researchers took an interest in Hypnosis. From their findings, it is clear that Hypnosis is quite impactful on the brain. In more specific terms, the part of the brain that deals directly with Hypnosis are the brainwaves. According to research, there are five different types of brainwaves, and they all exist in various parts of the brain. Dominance between these five brainwaves depends on the state of mind, which, in turn, depends on your level of relaxation and current thoughts. 

Moving forward, if we are to describe a hypnotist, we would note that they are out to MANIPULATE our minds by taking us (the subjects) from the beta state through alpha to theta or delta states, using their words. Results of this include the gradual disappearance of anxiety, deep relaxation, suppressed memories, profound hallucinations, and sudden awareness of essential beliefs and convictions. 

Likewise, the brain and mind become more receptive while suppressing critical reasoning. The level of brain inhibition drops, considering that the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex (handling reasoning and deduction) experiences less activity than usual. Consequently, the right region becomes more active, giving way for heightened creativity and the impulsive subconsciousness of the brain.

If we are to put all of these into a BDSM perspective, you would agree that Hypnosis can easily influence the minds of their subs. Also, the trance that comes with this can easily combine with subspace, sending the mind and the entire body into a state of very intense pleasure and consciousness.

There is a laid down framework the hypnotists follow when doing their ‘magic.’ Let’s get into it.

This is a simple chat where they try to create safety mechanisms and boundaries before the main action.

They proceed to set up a virtual trance in your mind. They may ask you to breathe following a certain pattern or look directly and consistently on a particular object for a certain number of minutes. Whichever style they choose to use, they are out to calm your conscious mind, thus making your subconscious accessible. 

This is probably the core of the whole process. The hypnotist wants to guide your feelings and thoughts, and they do this by giving you suggestions like “Listen closely for my voice, and when you hear it, look out for the urge to submit. Now, do not resist it – because it will come with intense pleasure.” This is almost synonymous with mind control.

This is the stage where all suggestions infused in your mind are discarded. Take, for example, a line like, “Once you are out of the trance, my voice will not come with the irresistible urge to submit.” If the hypnotist does not use wipers, it means they want you to continue to feel hypnotized even when you are out of the trance. However, this comes with some risks.

This is some sort of debriefing – the hypnotist and the participant discuss what happened while ensuring that nothing out of the ordinary comes after the trance. 

This is the basic blueprint. However, the precise words the hypnotists will say can be different. So, the possibilities are literally unlimited. 

Erotic hypnosis scenes usually come with specific goals, depending on the intent of the practitioners. Some of these include;

The height of erotic Hypnosis is perhaps to induce orgasm in a partner without touching each other. While this is not impossible, it requires serious practice and consistency for the parties involved. You can learn more about orgasm control techniques here.

As stated earlier, Hypnosis is a two-edged sword. As much as it brings pleasure, some con artists have adopted Hypnosis as a means to seduce unsuspecting individuals. Hence, it is essential to be clear right from the start and ensure to get the uncoerced consent of your partner. 

As the top, you can apply the following safety and consent tips to get used to your new partners better:

1. Discuss and negotiate the specific hypnosis play you both want. Be clear about your interests in Hypnosis, and encourage your partner to do the same. Present your preferences and reservations. What are the places to touch (or not) while in a trance? Do they prefer physical contact or not? 

2. Drugs and alcohol do not go with erotic Hypnosis, especially in the case of new partners. So, always stay clear-headed while at it. 

3. Identify and use phrases that set your partner up with complete agency when they are going into a trance. For instance, “Going into and exiting trance is bliss and under your control.” 

4. Agree on a straightforward movement or gesture to signify discomfort during Hypnosis. Verbal notifications don’t always work, especially in intense situations. 

5. Ensure that your partner gets some mental “out” when you offer your suggestions, i.e., open-ended phrases that allow them to choose or make decisions. 

6. You may collectively create a tulpa, i.e., a virtual friend that guides the participant through the experience and ensure that they stay on course. 

7. Urge your partner to be open about their post-hypnosis feelings and use the feedback to improve the overall experience. 

It is essential to let your partner understand what they are getting into before giving their consent. So, do not hold back while having your pre-hypnosis discussions. Check out this BDSM scene checklist for more tips on planning and negotiating a scene.

As you would expect, erotic Hypnosis, like almost every other thing, comes with some risks. Some of these are what we discuss below;

People have used Hypnosis as a medium to abuse unsuspecting individuals sexually. We have heard cases where people found themselves naked without any idea of how it happened. Yes, Hypnosis is a veritable tool for sexual arousal in participants; tops are not expected to exploit their partner’s vulnerable situations. Hence, only engage in Hypnosis with the people you trust and always watch out for any indications of danger. 

Hypnosis comes with different psychological implications, most of which no one absolutely knows how to control. Erotic hypnotists are not professionals; neither are the participants. Hence, it is important to prepare the mind for such situations and be aware of this uncertainty and be careful at all times during the process. 

Hypnosis participants may experience triggers randomly. The words and phrases used as triggers in the process tend to stay in the subconscious of participants. So, they may end up getting triggered outside Hypnosis, even if such phrases don’t come from their hypnosis partners.

Irrespective of your personality, be prepared to experience the risks that come with the exchange of power in erotic Hypnosis. However, your type of character will determine the level or extent of risks you are exposed to. For instance, an individual who is naturally a risk-taker would be more interested in exploring erotic Hypnosis more. 

Either way, a potential erotic hypnosis participant must be ready to engage in proper planning, consistent practicing, and safeguarding at all times. Likewise, they must be prepared to engage in only ethical plays while using mutual mind control as a tool for deeper intimacy, pleasure, and fun.
