Initial Trials

I started with hypnosis within the past year. Initially, I was skeptical of the application. I knew hypnosis was possible. I had family members participate in stage shows, and a close friend used hypnotherapy to quit smoking. However, my goal was to get true submission, not break a bad habit or turn someone into a chicken.

In my first attempt, I worked with a female sub I've known for years. She was skeptical, but willing to try. I was lucky in my choice; she's a very creative person, and I've learned since that creativity is very helpful for visualization.

My initial attempt was very disappointing to me. The induction took approximately fifteen minutes, and I needed to deeper her for about ten minutes further. I then tested the depth of her trance by sticking her hands together, then gluing her eyelids closed. Both worked for a second or two, but were quickly overcome.

When I woke her, I found that none of the triggers I had set worked. The most interesting memory from the trance was that her eyes kept moving, and she put a lot of effort into stopping them but couldn't. She was also very tired from the experience. She was very relaxed though, and this gave me the opening to bring her into trance again in the future.

Welcome!

Welcome to my corner of the world. I'm a man in my thirties. I've been slowly adding hypnosis to my toolkit in relationships with submissive women. It took me years of mostly frustration to get to this point. I've had a number of dom/sub relationships, both short or long term. Some were quite successful, while others not at all. However, I've also met some women who, while they wanted to be submissive and claimed to be submissive, couldn't succeed at being submissive. As soon as they reached a level of discomfort, whether from pain, embarrassment, or just lack of control, they would immediately reject and withdrawal from the current activity. This is not a case of limits pushed to far; these women would insist both before and after that they really wanted to do the activity. I came to think of it as a mental gag reflex. Since I'm looking for complete, willing submission, this caused a problem.

I've learned lately that this mental gag reflex is a response of the conscious mind. Whether through learned response, inhibition, shyness, or embarrassment, the conscious mind often can step in and block full submission. This is where hypnosis begins.

Through hypnosis, I've found that the subconscious mind can override the conscious mind's hangups and reach a much deeper level of submission. As an added bonus, some posthypnotic suggestions can create levels of domination that would not be possible otherwise. I'll get into both of these ideas more as I continue to post.

Before I go further, let me crush the dreams of a few of you. I only hypnotize willing subjects after fully discussing the upcoming session. Hypnosis will not make someone who's not interested in you your slave, and will not change anyone's morals or personality. OK, you can change personality for a short time, but that's really just role playing, right?

I'd also like to acknowledge Hypnomaster D from BDSM Hypnosis and Lex from Hypnosexy. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading both blogs, and they inspired me to transcribe some of my experiences. I will use a slightly different format, as I won't have any subs posting (at least not yet).
