Have you ever been erotically hypnotized in person?

Not exactly. To me all hypnosis is at the very least mildly erotic. My neighbor the hypnotist doesn’t really do erotic hypnosis either but on a few occasions is was close. On one occasion her friend who was a magician and also a hypnotist was visiting from S America. An extremely tall man he tranced me instantly, froze my body in place, and put me in a deep sleep catalepsy where I was suspended lying flat across two chairs.
