#hypnokink asks

28, 33 and 48 from the hypnosis asks please, Gothess ❤️

Note to readers: I'm answering numbers from this list, my DMs are open for more~ Hi there @puppyforgothess~ Since you asked so sweetly,

28. What’s your favourite spiral?

Text spirals! I don't see them too often but I love using them to add in extra mantra subliminals 😈

33. Do you have any fantasies about non-consensual hypnosis? Describe them?

Of course! I enjoy play on the darker and edgier side, CNC hypno pops into my mind often ~ I have one that's been on my mind lately, that stems from learning that lions and tigers use low-frequency infrasound to paralyze and disorient their prey. CW: CNC mind control, fractionation, feeling trapped/"sleep paralysis, vampire demons, primal play, prey hunting, biting, amnesia and identity erasure. It starts in a goth lounge where the Succu-vampire scans the environment for the perfect target. She meets eyes with someone in the center of the dance floor, they exchanges smiles and a few flirty glances. They watch her dance mesmerized by the her dance moves and flowy attire. She locks eyes with them, causing a vibration to jolt through their body. The sensation floods their mind, sending waves of pleasure, confusion and mindlessness. As she closes in, weaving between the groups of people on the dance floor, the prey realizes they have no escape. They don't stand a chance while being fractionated between debilitating trance and fearful realization that they are no longer in control. When they finally meets them face to face, she pulls them into her. Drowning them in her scent while she whispers some things I won't disclose. The person's eyes flutter and their body falls a little slack as they lean into her embrace. Her nails grip the back of their head, pulling it back to reveal their neck and rolling eyes. She bites into them, sucking on their neck as they moan and begin to lose all the memories associated with their identity, all they can do is repeat is " i no longer know" in a soft, sleepy voice. After she drinks just enough to turn them from human to an enslaved fledgling, she leads them to her lair in the back of the club. The rest... I'll leave up to your imagination. There are many ways this plays out, every time I fantasize about it I think about a different kinks and possibilities for their demise.

48. Who is one person in the hypno community you really admire?

I would have to say Hypnostory & panda! I admire how much they value hypnokink education and how they break concepts down to make safe hypno play practical and easy to understand. Every time I take one of their classes, I feel inspired to not only explore more but to evolve as a hypnostist. Honorable mention would be Secret Subject, she is so creative and streams really hilarious and fun lives. (Bias aside, faceless creator solidarity) I admire how Secret does an amazing job of creating files that put subject safety at the forefront and immerses subject into a myriad of hypnomagical worlds. Both have great resources available for every level of hypnokink as well, I learned so much from both of their 101 education content.

20 and 37 please :)

20a. Tips for hypnotists: put your subject at ease! Make sure they feel like they’re “doing it right”, because they are!! Use the information they’re giving you—show them that you’re paying attention and noticing their reactions, and then weave those reactions into your trance. If they’re not giving you enough to work with—or if they are, but you just want more—ask them! Talk to them, solicit information, let them help direct the trance, because they’ll take to it SO MUCH MORE POWERFULLY if the trance you’re offering them is exactly the one they want.

20b. Tips for subjects: hypnosis is to a certain extent “playing along”, but so is like, an edgy rope scene—you know you’re not in actual danger but you’re leaning into the idea of it because it’s fun and hot. What if you do that with hypnosis? Instead of testing the bounds of a suggestion like “did it really work?”, see how much you can let yourself lean into the idea that you’re feeling its effects. See how much you can LET it work (and, importantly, what that feels like to you, because it might not hit in the way you expect it to, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hitting).

Also, all of this is learnable and practice-able. Not where you want to be with trance depth, or accepting X kind of suggestion? Good news—you can practice!!

37. Do you like freeze triggers? Yessss they’re real fun. Posing and objectifying people is fun and hot, and I’m often playing with hotties I like admiring/it feels great to be admired. It’s a great expression of power, it can be a wonderful PHYSICAL connection too (think like partner dance), and has GREAT tease and denial applications!!

30!

Thank you!! ^^

30. Memory Play

Super awake | awake | skeptically awake | skeptically trancey | dropping | hypnotized | DEEPLY Mesmerized | … *mindless drooling* ...

So this one is sort of a work in progress for me as a hypnotee, but it is SUCH a hot button for me.

I think I tend to kink a lot on "demonstrations of control", and to me memory play is just sort of...the ultimate. Making someone forget something, or remember something that didn't happen? That's altering reality levels of control.

Obviously in practice it is both not that simple and not that absolute, but my hot buttons are not rational things 🤭.

From the hypnotist side, or even just watching, few things beat the rush of a subject obliviously saying "what thing?" or "but we haven't started" or even "I don't remember". They don't even know.

And the few, far between times I've had that feeling as a hypnotee? "Oh FUCK I'm so done now". Unf.

(This is a long one - sorry!)

20) What’s one tip you have for other hypnotists/subjects?

For hypnotists: Be flexible. The more you hypnotize people and the more experience you get with hypnosis generally, the more you realize that there's no one-size-fits-all way to hypnotize someone. Even in the middle of an induction, it's good to be able to shift gears to respond to how your subject is responding. It's a two (or more!) person exercise, even if you're doing all the talking!

For subjects: Be flexible. While it's not always easy to find a hypnotist or content creator you enjoy, it's important to try inductions or techniques that are new to you now and then; in the same way your tastes change as you grow up, the things that work for your brain and trance may change, too!

22) Do you like your hypnosis to involve power exchange, or not?

This is a whole-ass post unto itself! For the purposes of this answer, I'm choosing to define power exchange in the sense of a dominance/submission exchange. I think there's an inherent power/vulnerability exchange that happens with hypnosis generally, but I don't think it's inherently dominant/submissive in nature.

As a hypnotist, a true d/s energy is rarely (if ever) my thing. I love a collaborative feeling when I'm doing hypnosis - it's more fun and engaging to me to feel like I'm working with the subject to create something cool/satisfying/weird.

As a subject? I'm finding it more and more fun to really engage my submissive side. I used to shy away from this because of, well, a lot of stuff. But I'm finding it more and more appealing and fun with folks I trust.

25) Have you ever experienced strong, sudden feelings for a hypnotist/subject? How did you deal with that?

It happens! It's a *very real* and *very normal* thing that happens with hypnosis - there's an emotional intensity, a vulnerability and an intimacy to all of this that really breeds big feelings for a lot of folks. There was a time where it was very, very hard for me to deal with the feelings I would catch for folks I did hypnosis with. I had a lot of jealousy, sadness, and feelings of abandomment/isolation early on. In nearly every instance, it was not the other person's intentional doing! It was me not being able to delineate between what was driven by the experience and what was more of a core feeling.

How do I deal now? First, knowing myself, I *know* I will catch feelings when I play with someone new, and I'm aware of and on guard (for lack of a better term) for that. I give myself permission to feel that, but also to acknowledge that it's being influenced by something that's not "true," no matter how "true" it feels. I also (especially when it feels likely) will tell my potential play partner that I have that tendency and that I'm able to manage it, and what kind of aftercare or general care needs may come with that! (Also, I lean into those feelings sometimes! Hypnosis is the root of so many incredibly close friendships I have now; it's a really powerful thing.)

That said, especially if you're new? TAKE HEED. Take a beat. Take a breath. Give yourself room to feel, but also room to recognize that it's not the real thing. Protect yourself, because it's easy to end up in situations where you can be really hurt in ways you don't see coming.

26) Are you interested in hypnotising/being hypnotised by people of a gender you are not attracted to?

This is hard. If it's in a kinky context, then generally no. In fairness, the only gender I'm categorically not attracted to is cis men, and that lack of attraction is rooted in some challenging life stuff for me that breeds a ton of distrust.

In a non-kinky context, there's a lot less of an issue.

But also? You don't have to play with people you're not attracted to! You're not required to be attracted to people you're not attracted to! No is a complete sentence.

I LOVE YOUR BLOGGG 😵‍💫

#29

I appreciate that a lot~ 29. What’s your favourite hypno-themed image/caption/piece of art?

It's so colorful and creative! I love that the Tist or puppet Master is Black (like me ^_^), because I rarely see hypno art featuring Black people (really BIPOC overall)

I also like that the suited skeleton feels like a nod to identity & dehumanization play. Overall gorgeous piece.~

3 and 7 for the hypnosis asks!!

> 3. Are there any TV shows/movies/books you liked when you were younger that you think got you into hypnosis?

Nnnnot really, though I always felt kind of funny about the telepaths in X-Men: Evolution.

> 7. What do you love about hypnotising people?

It’s just pure fucking distilled intimacy. Having ALL your focus on someone and having ALL their focus on you, having them so intent on you that you can manipulate their very attention??? Incredible. And I love the skill of it and the ways it makes me feel competent and powerful, and the dance/push and pull/collaboration of it with a subject!!

Questions 10 and 42, please and thank you.

10. Are you a difficult subject?

Ohoho I was HOPING someone would ask me this! I definitely used to feel like one—because my first trance partner was pretty mediocre and I didn't feel super comfy with him/he wasn't very good at reading me, and then I built up a bunch of stuff in my head about feeling "bad at trance". I got to be a really good hypnotist but still was... scared to really let myself work on my subject skills, I think, because I was scared of it still being hard and then I would know for sure that I was bad at this. (And simultaneously, scared of the hypnosis being TOO EFFECTIVE and I would find myself without agency or something—no matter HOW many times I'd given the safety talk to new subjects, apparently in my head it didn't apply to me 🙃)

But once I started relaxing into it and letting myself experiment and play, and not making every attempt at trancing into a metaphor for whether I could do the thing at all... it got easier! It got fun! It got comfortable! I still don't have as much practice/self-knowledge in re: taking hypnotic suggestions as I'd like, but turns out I'm actually a quite good subject! Both in the "I can be brought into trance pretty easily" way and in the "I can articulate my experiences and needs, and take care of myself while in trance" way!

42. Which famous person do you think has the most hypnotic voice?

Great question. I don't really know. Maybe Cecil Baldwin???

As you are the queen of utilization... 11. What’s your ‘signature move’ as a hypnotist? 12. What’s your favourite kind of hypnotic induction?

11. Queen of utilization 🥹 shucks! I mean yeah, probably making inductions out of anything; gotcha inductions, pun inductions, turning any given interaction or emotional state into trance.

12. Slow, luxurious, inescapable ones where everyone has time to really revel in the feelings!! Particularly soft spot for dance inductions, sex inductions, mutual trance, and the kind of collaborative induction there the tist coaxes things out of the subject that they’ll then use to drop them further. Chef’s kiss!
