Why is edging a strong part of hypnokink?
It's a trope when it comes to brainwashing or mental conditioning, I'm sure anyone who has been in the hypnokink section of tumblr for more than like... a day, will have seen a gif of a buxom, brainless, bimbo on her knees with a detached look of blissful emptiness in her face, mouth open, tongue out, tears of joy streaming down her face ect.
Setting aside the trope and kink angles for a second (I know it's hard to get the kneeling, brainless bimbo out of your head, it's a strong mental image) there are some practical reasons in erotic hypnosis for instructing a sub to edge while they are under.
1. First and foremost, it's fun for the subject, a large part of hypnosis is putting a subject into an open, agreeable state, linking the idea of hypnosis to direct, physical pleasure certainly renders most people agreeable.
2. It's very hard to think when your edging, if you want to derail a person's thoughts, constant physical stimulation will certainly get you there, focusing on a task that demands attention, it's easy to focus on how it feels to touch and play
3. The constant lure of something out of reach, the feeling of teasing but never quite crossing the line, like your goal is getting further away all the time, it's easy to link that to the idea your going deeper, your orgasm is further and further away, but all you have to do is keep listening, focusing and touching, feeling the pleasure building, the deeper you go the better you feel, a promise to keep you sinking down deeper and deeper.
4. It's easy to accept when it's hard to think, it's hard to think when your mind is overloaded, simple instructions are easy to follow, and once you start, it feels so good to keep going, to keep listening, reading, focusing, touching, just think about how good that feels, to let your thoughts drift away, to follow suggestion without thinking, how good it feels.
5. Simple monotonous actions are very good at holding focus, the ticking of a clock or metronome, the predictable swirling pattern of a spiral, the swaying of a crystal or pocketwatch from a chain, tick tock, around and around, back and forth, stroking up and down, easy to follow, easy to relax.
6. And then there's the trope, the idea that whole your done there, mindlessly edging, taking yourself deeper and deeper into a trance, drowning your brain in pleasure, the voice of your tist in your ear telling you that the longer you edge, the more pliable ond obedient you become, stroking up and down, breathing in and out, deeper and deeper, your mind accepts the idea that edging, down on your knees, makes you a buxom, brainless, bimbo.
So yeah, thars why edging is used a lot, are you OK pet? There's a little drool on your chin...
