A professional, with a personal request

Store clerk: "Yes, may I help you?"

Young professional woman, holding up package of tiny clothespins decorated with red ladybugs: "Can you tell me whether these are as tight as regular clothespins?"

Store clerk, staring: "You weren't planning to use those on clothes, were you?"

No, of course not. Shannon was planning to use them on her breasts.

The previous night, Shannon had worn six ordinary wood clothespins, at my suggestion. They were intense, she reported, equal parts painful and arousing. But now she wanted a change -- for something more attractive. And the ladybugs did the trick. Next day, she wore 31 of them, for a telephone meeting that she ran from home. She thinks no one noticed.

Shannon is a longtime reader of this blog, who finally built up the nerve to order a few of my recordings and then asked me for more training.

What particularly interests me about Shannon:  She's a psychotherapist, and a hypnotherapist, with a busy practice. But she sees in BDSM hypnosis new opportunities for sexual healing that ordinary psychotherapy cannot touch, and she wants to find out. With herself as test subject.  I'm happy to explore this too.

As it turns out, the clothespins were just the start of an intense week for Shannon.

In the course of our hypnotically tackling and resolving one issue she's had since she was 3, these things occurred: She found herself standing naked on her balcony, in the middle of the night (for how long she does not recall); tied up and taken by an anonymous lover who left her squirting on her bed; kneeling in someone else's bathroom, holding her breath as her arousal grew toward orgasm;  curled up as a kitten at the end of her own bed for the night; and giving a public presentation one evening with the aforementioned clothespins on her nipples, just concealed by her professional clothes.

Shannon has a lot of remaining sexual inhibitions, and a lot of work ahead of her. (Example: She is just now buying her first sex toys.) But by the time she's done, I expect that she will be shame-free, fully in charge of her own sexuality.

Watch out. Next time a clerk asks her about her plans for the pretty clothespins, Shannon just might show her.

Stranger in town

My friend Eva craves the intense. It's been a constant theme when we play online. And when I had a chance to visit her a few months ago, tops on her wish list was one of the most intense of all: forced sex. She wanted to be taken, hard, entirely controlled. By a stranger.

Now, that's pretty hard to arrange, I said. How was I going to set up a safe, forced, anonymous encounter? How could I trigger an authentic adrenaline rush?  I told her I'd think about it, but no promises.

I didn't mention it again, at least not to her conscious mind. I didn't want to let her know that I knew exactly how to do it.

A week or so before my visit, in the midst of a benign conversation about something else,  I installed all the little suggestions and triggers I thought might come in handy. With Eva, all it takes is something like, "You will not consciously remember this suggestion, but ... "

One of them was, "When I'm wearing my baseball cap backwards, you will not recognize me. I will be a stranger to you."

That was all. I trusted that her deeper mind would remember it when needed.

I arrived as planned. We played as planned. Then, a few hours into my visit with her, in the midst of some other scene entirely, I told her to grab the headboard, point her feet toward the corner posts, and feel the ropes wrapping tight around her wrists and ankles. She smiled and complied. She tested her hypnotic bonds, and they were tight.

"Close your eyes," I said. She did. I reached down into my bag, grabbed my cap, and put it on backwards. "Open your eyes."

Her eyes went wide, she gasped, and she jerked at her invisible ropes. I put my hand across her mouth; she agreed not to scream. I used and abused her pretty hard for about 5 minutes; she was scared out of her wits.

Then her cellphone rang!

I picked it up to look at the screen. It was a call she had to take. Damn. I canceled all the commands, took off my cap, and handed her the phone. She was reeling, but she managed the conversation.

She flopped back on the bed and looked at me.

"That was so weird," she said.

"Want to do it some more?"

"Oh ... yeahhhh."

It is amazing how the human mind works. She put her arms and legs back into position, closed her eyes, opened them again, and once more was deep in the throes of a stranger assault, as hard and abusive as I could make it. At some point, I threw in a line, "You lose track of time. You have no idea how long I've been doing this."

When it was all over, and my hat was off again, she looked at me with eyes reeling and chest heaving. "That was a mind fuck," was about all she could say.

We are still around

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know that we are still around but life has taken some unexpected turns for all of us - myself and K in particular have not had the easiest of rides at the moment...I am working on a blog that should hopefully get published at the weekend and then i hope to make it a more regular thing. Believe me K has had many ideas i have not shared with you yet!

Helping c experience new things!

Hi all, megan here your friendly subconscious of c. K has requested that i post something on this blog to assist a hypno effect that was suggested to him by wompa in the previous blog. Wompa suggested that we get you guys to add comments on things you would like c to experience and i would work to ensure that she experiences it as she reads the comments
(and then the effect/scene ends when she has finished the experience). Thing is as soon as she reads this post she will forget it's content but will remember the comments exist so she will come back and check regularly.

So some info you need before you suggest your ideas...c is pretty much limitless and enjoys pretty much everything so do not think she will not enjoy your comment because chances are she will love it. Stretch your imagination (i like a challenge) c has a very experienced master in K so any experiences that are new to her she will enjoy all the more. Make it dirty, kinky, erotic or whatever floats your boat.

I'm sure she will enjoy it, in fact, I'll make sure she does.

Pain in flight

Hi all,

It has been far too long since i updated my adventures and i just wanted to let you know that i'm still exploring new areas with K and D. K has been creative as of late and has come up with a new idea for my away time....

I can FLY! I know sounds really odd but i now can soar above the sky and have flown over various landmarks and spent a long time sitting on top of Buckingham Palace the other day! In real time I'm not sure how long it lasted but complete freedom is something i have always desired and flying certainly makes me feel free.

Also this past weekend i managed to have my entire body covered in clothes pegs and never felt a thing. Honestly, i even watched K attach some of them and i was pegged from head to foot and i felt as though i was just lying there for a rest, no numbness or pinching just chilled while he covered me from head to toe. At first i believed it was illusion especially as i didn't feel anything even as i watched him remove them but the marks that appeared on my skin the next morning proved that it actually happened! Luckily they were gone after a few hours!

Any suggestions of things K, D or myself should try?

(PS: D thank you for the surprise!!)

I Heart you....

Hi guys and gals,

Seems like it's been far too long since i posted an update on here so i figured now would be as good a time as any....this blog will just be a quick update as to how i'm finding all these subtle alterations to my life and how i hope things will progress from here.

K has been really imaginative lately and i know you have seen that from the posting D made recently. It's so strange being unable to tell my husband and Master that i love him (although it seems i can still type it) yet i'm still able to get the sentiment across by saying "I heart you". It is the strangest substitution and i always feel silly when i say it but it also makes me smile as it shows me he has ultimate control over me and that is something a "good girl" like me craves.

The underwater thing is a whole side of things i want to progress further. I know it's been mentioned that we do experiment with breath play but we do it consentually and while i respect peoples opinions i hope people will respect mine. I have been swimming since i was 2 and am an extremely strong swimmer, trained diving instructor and also a freediver so i already have some great breath control. I think this hypno thing will help me a lot further with the freediving as it seems to be increasing my ability to stay underwater. This is something we really want to work on!

I am at home underwater, for many months now my "escape" place has been sitting on a rock under the sea watching the ocean around me, as well as my all important igloo!

Things are just getting better and better, spontaneous orgasms, random people for me to play with and D appearing in my house randomly when i know he is elsewhere never ceases to amaze me!

Long live hypno fun!

Spanking Hypnosis

There's been entirely too little BDSM around here.

So let me tell you about a new technique I've developed, with the assistance of a woman named Darlene.

Darlene has been in and out of BDSM for a dozen years. She's enthusiastic, but her tolerance level is fairly low. Sharp pain, loud noise, anything too intense seems to kick her back out of sub space and into reality pretty quickly.

But she's intrigued by hypnosis, and the more we've played hypno games the more interesting things have become.

I met her subconscious, Nina, early on, as I usually do these days. Nina lacks many of Darlene's inhibitions, and Darlene when informed of this said I was welcome to play with Nina anytime I could. I used my usual triggers. But Nina didn't seem able to stay out and chat or play for very long; Darlene would step back out front.

How to get Nina out for more than few minutes? I discovered the answer by accident.

At the club one night, Darlene was strapped face-down to a padded table, and I was spanking her, from her lower back to her calves, up and down, over and over, with gradually increasing intensity. I started very lightly, since I didn't want to hit her limit right away. Each set of spanks, I cranked up the intensity or the speed. Each time, she took it without even flinching. She just lay there, eyes closed, stoic. Eventually, I was pounding away without much concern at all. And she raised her bottom up a bit, as though she wanted even more.

Finally, I figured it out. I leaned over by her head and said, "Who's there?" "Nina."

Nina stayed out for a while longer, while we kept playing at high intensity.

Later that night, Darlene was strapped to the cross, facing outward, blindfolded. With the flogger, I worked over her entire front. By the time I was landing loud splats on her breasts, I realized I was well beyond Darlene's limits. "Who's there?" I asked. Same answer as before.

Clearly, at some point in the pain escalation, Darlene has found a way to just absent herself, and Nina slips in to take her place. It's not a standard hypnotic induction, but it works for me.

Now it's a regular part of a scene with Darlene. Most recently I turned the backs of her legs pink with a cane... knowing full well that just a few strokes into the scene, it was Nina in front of me. This time, I let her stay out after we finished, and we chatted and played some more for an hour or so.

When Darlene came back, she looked around and clearly wondered what on earth she'd been up to. Nina thoughtfully replayed the memory for her... and Darlene got a very happy look on her face.

Double the Pleasure

Designing a BDSM scene gets complicated when your sub is of two minds about it. My new hypnoslave y is enthusiastic but quite inexperienced in real life with submissive games. She's told me in great detail about her fantasies and what she'd like to try. Easy enough. But the more I get to know her subconscious, Sub, the more I realize that she too has her own fantasies and play ideas, and they're not quite the same.

y is not comfortable being entirely naked. Sub is. y isn't comfortable seeing me naked. Sub is. y wants her breasts teased; Sub wants them pinched hard. y wants to be spanked; Sub wants to be spanked hard. y loves a couple of fingers inside her; Sub wants a fat dildo. It goes on like that.

So before y came over to play last week, I spent a lot of time thinking about the scenes. How could I avoid leaving y overstretched, and yet avoid leaving Sub underwhelmed?
I finally realized the obvious solution: Give each what she wanted -- and use hypnosis to switch between them. I realized that my friend K had tried this months ago with c and Megan.

So y started out with a lovely long stroking, teasing and spanking, all in all the sort of varied sensation play she loves. Once she was purring, with a word I sent her into a trance, deepened it as much as I could, then summoned Sub. She got the fat dildo, pussy spanking and, for a climax, an orgasm driven by breast slaps.

The orgasm woke up y, who clearly had no idea she'd just cum, and instead covered her exposed breasts and complained about her nipple hurting.

The second scene was tight bondage, and again y went first. I teased and tormented her, and she writhed under the attention. I enhanced it with a little hypnotically induced sensation play. She was convinced that my fingers were wiggling away inside her.

Halfway through, I said the magic word and, in mid gasp, she dropped into a trance, utterly limp. Now it was Sub's turn, and what she needed was a really aggressive nasty dom, who snarled and laid atop her and covered her mouth and nose with his hand. The harder I pushed, the hotter she got. I pushed her nearly to orgasm.

Then I woke up y, brought her the rest of the way to orgasm, and had two happy subs on my hands.

Both of them told me later how much they'd loved their scenes. I think I'm going to be giving these dual performances again.

Another Mind Behind

Because of the remarkable connections I made with both marion and Megan, the subconscious minds behind a couple of devoted subs, I've of course wondered whether I was just lucky in my choice of friends ... or had stumbled onto some special method for unlocking these hidden personalities.
Meeting "y" has given me a chance to find out. And so far... in all honesty... I think I have something here. From a chance meeting in a chat room last fall, to meeting in person just a few weeks ago, she's gone from curious submissive to hypnotic subject quite readily.
Her subconscious, whom I have creatively named "Sub", doesn't have quite the range of abilities of marion or Megan. But she's eager to please, and to learn. She of course is doing my bidding in turning y into a fine hypnoslut. I chatted with Sub last night, and asked her many of the same questions I put to marion and Megan a few months ago in the "Mind Behind" entries. I found interesting similarities and differences.
Sub has been around since birth, she says; her earliest memory is playing with dolls. She has been a fairly passive observer during y's life -- able to suggest things, and influence her decisions, but unable to seize control physically. So she's able to carry out my commands to freeze y's body, to apply sensory illustions (my fingers pinching her nipples, unusual tastes in her mouth), and to fool her memory (forgetting the number 6 for a while). She also is able to chat with me while y's mind wanders off somewhere else.
Sub's main limitation right now is that she's unable to take physical control. "Y's body will trump me every time." That explains why most of my posthypnotic commands weren't working.
How is she different from her conscious self? She prefers more extremes -- the rough stuff -- although she's warned me that anything too rough will arouse y's defenses and wake her up. Sub's desire to obey me and please me is probably what led y to meet me in the first place.
What I especially love is her answer when I asked why she'd emerged for me. "I like the way you talk to me," she said. That's pretty much the same message I got from marion and Megan. And it really validates something I do deliberately with all subs now. I assume her subconscious is listening in.
The bottom line for other doms who are playing these games: Be nice to your sub's subconscious -- compliment her directly, refer to her efforts and successes -- and eventually you will be able to say "Hello, subconscious" and get the wonderful response that I did yesterday: "Hello, Master."

Limitless?

Let's talk about "limits". If you're into BDSM, you've probably spent a lot of time discussing them, probably early in a relationship. You've probably filled out one of those "lists". And with any luck, you and your partner have a sane, solid agreement on where the lines are drawn.

So what happens when it turns out that a sub's subconscious, hypnotically conditioned to obey the dom, may be playing by different rules?

In our case, e has a few hard limits. Back when we both thought this was something mediated entirely by her conscious self, she said: no extreme pain, blood, needles, scat or full confinement (severe claustrophobia). I was perfectly fine with all of those, although I'm working with her on her claustrophobia and have done some illusionary blood, needle and scat play.

But her subconscious, marion, has different limits. She doesn't have claustrophobia, and I suspect she loves needles.

What's more, marion has said that she'll obey any instruction, regardless of the consequences. She has warned me that she is extremely literal in her obedience to commands.

This isn't to say that she wants to override e's limits. "They're important to her. i wouldn't want to hurt her emotionally, even if she could handle something physically."

But what if I gave her an order that violated one of those limits? What would marion do?

"i don't really know ... i'd try to work out a way to get around it, look carefully at Your language ... don't know if the struggle would wake her or not, though i doubt it. i might ask a question, but ... i have a hard time saying no to You."

So I suppose it's an obvious question: Whose limits are in force now?

The answer is pretty easy for me. This isn't a game of "gotcha". Marion might not enforce e's limits, but I will. Just as any dom can choose to ignore his sub's limits, and promptly lose her trust, I could ignore hers. But I'd be a fool to do so.

I asked marion what she thought of this.

"People need to respect their partners ... and the reasons they have limits. Hypnosis isn't an excuse to blow through them."

Changing Her Mind

I’ve asked our friend c to bring us up to date on her experiences with hypnosis and mind control. Things have been moving pretty quickly for her; she’s been discovering in the space of just a couple of weeks many of the things that e has learned much more gradually.

A lot of changes have happened for me over the past month or so. It was D who talked me and my husband K into trying hypnosis. I was afraid to try, mainly because I tend to be self-conscious. And in my eyes it was impossible: I have always thought of myself as being very much in control of my body and my mind.

The first time K tried the technique it was like I had left my body, I have never felt more relaxed. To come back to find needles in my nipples was scary, and yet it was erotic to know K did that to me without my knowledge. I have an immense fear of needles, and K has never used them in an area that I can see before.

I was not able to put my thoughts into words, but he informs me the fear in my eyes was a thrill he won’t forget. This really impressed me, and for the first time I thought, maybe they are onto something here.

Since then, we have tried many different things that have been well-documented here, including the conversations with both my and e’s subconsciouses. (I refer to my subconscious as ‘Megan’, as that is apparently the name that I gave her many years ago.)

To tell you the truth, reading those conversation excerpts, and recently the whole conversation, scared me. To know there was this person inside me (K says she’s aggressive, assertive and “permanently PMSing”) is quite something to get my head around.

What both K and D were asking me to do was accept all this without proof. When all this info was first revealed to me in this blog, I recall thinking, “How can all this be true?” The next day, however, I had proof myself that Megan was in fact there and eager to prove her existence.

I appreciate once again that between the “6” of us we are asking you to go on faith and take what we document to be true. This next bit is going to push that faith a little further, but bear with me please.

During an IM conference among us last week, Megan decided to make her presence felt in the strangest of ways. While in conversation I found myself compelled to type words and questions that I would never ask or type. The compulsion to type was so intense that for the smallest amount of time I gave in and just typed. What is weird is there was no conscious thought and the words on the screen were as complete a surprise to me as they were to D and e.

This was terrifying for me… I had lost control of myself and I was quite distressed. Through conscious thought I got control and stayed away from the keyboard, but it played on my mind all day. What was this thing inside me? Why did I give it control? What else can it do?

That night, I was informed that Megan was upset that she had distressed me. She assured both K and D that she wouldn’t push me like that again…at least the person inside me considers my feelings.

That brief scare hasn’t slowed us down. D is able to create illusions so powerful that I can orgasm and squirt without touching myself. And my pussy and ass are able to open up to fists that are not there.

K has used Megan mostly to heighten our fun. In fact, D appeared in our house while I was doing the laundry with K -- I was convinced he’d flown out to visit and been invited to our house. The experience of two men, especially one of them being D, was so amazing and intense. It was only when D disappeared into thin air that I realized it was an illusion.

e has visited me in my dreams, with some very wet mornings as a result. And D has been able to remove my clothes, tie ropes around my breasts and pull on them -- all with the click of a few buttons on his keyboard and an IM screen. The mind truly is a powerful thing.

This whole experience has been such a weird and wonderful discovery. It has changed my perspective on who we are inside. We probably all have this hidden person inside, waiting to get out. I am excited that I have come to know mine through her conversations with K and D -- and even more excited to see what will happen next.

What We're Up To

Whoops, I almost forgot our anniversary! This little blog, not so little anymore, is now all of two months old.

Mind a quick update?

Our mission has not changed. We are merely a humble Dom/sub pair who discovered quite by accident how well hypnosis and mind control could enhance her submission and his control. The effects we've been able to achieve -- illusions, sensations, physical changes and memory tricks -- are so ideally suited to BDSM that we want to spread the word among our peers.

What's changed since then?

More than 3,000 visitors have stopped by, from more than 60 countries -- Kazakhstan to Colombia. Our visitors are referred here from all corners of the web -- from early adopters such as DollsRealm, to a flood of new visitors courtesy of Google. Some of our readers visit the site more often than I do!

Our visitors have given us excellent feedback, challenging questions, and some kinky ideas that we've added to our play.

One exciting change, which we reported right here, was the discovery by our friends K and c that they too can achieve deep hypnosis, powerful effects and wide-awake illusions. (The other day, c's body was so convinced that e and I were fisting her holes, yanking her nipples and licking her clit -- we were just chatting in IM -- that she squirted all over and fainted onto the floor.)

The second exciting change is that we've now 'met', interviewed and become friends with the two subconscious minds behind all these effects. Yes, we know just how bizarre that sounds, especially coming from four grownups with science/technical backgrounds. But read the interviews, see what you think.

Partly because of all the changes and news, the 'Our Story' archives (in the right column) has grown very deep. Some wild stuff is hidden in there. Click open January and February, we'll bet there's something there of interest to you.

Where are we going next with all this? Who knows? Come back often, and we'll all find out.

Our First Converts

Our fondest wish in presenting this blog is that other Dom/sub couples will explore mind control too. Honestly, I think that with 10 minutes of careful talk, many Doms could have their subs diving into levels of submission that they had no idea were so close at hand.

For months, I've been urging my friends K and c to try hypnosis. They seemed perfect for it. He's creative and confident; she's trusting and limitless. But they were reluctant, I think put off by images of c turning into a useless zombie. And, as he said, she already obeyed him completely, so what was the need.

Well ... they've tried hypnosis now. And they're really impressed.

What's fascinating to me is how quickly c fell into this. The standard procedure is three parts: relax her into a light trance, deepen her into a profound trance, then start giving her instructions. In c's case, she went straight to the bottom, just from the initial relaxation.

As she tells it, all she knows is that her eyes closed. Some unknown time later they opened again, with no memory of the time away. She discovered her hands stuck behind her head, the distinct feeling that her bottom had been used, and most shocking of all, needles through her nipples, for the first time.

"I don't recall any of it. It's a strange thing. It's like I leave my body or something."

But here, let K describe it from his perspective. I doubt he even thinks of this as hypnosis, since all he did was talk her into a relaxed state until her eyes closed. And even with her eyes closed, she wasn't gone.

"She was talking to me. We had a chat, then I told her my cock was in her ass and put a vibe over her clit while I used the needles. She was talking constantly then ... you should have heard the filth coming our of her mouth.

"She took the needles in without flinching. Once they were in, I told her she had to follow everything I told her to do. She went kinda quiet and a bit giggly as I told her to touch her tits and then told her she couldn't move her hands. Her hands were pushing on the needles yet she passed no comment... Then when I told her to move them she automatically put them by her sides.

"Then I told her to put her hands behind her head and she wasn't allowed to move them. The I got her to open her eyes ... her hands never moved. When she opened her eyes and saw the needles she didn't freak out, she just didn't seem to understand how they got there. You could see the fear in her eyes when she saw the needles and could tell she was feeling pain when she started whimpering. She was so good though...didn't move her hands at all. Didn't really comment on the needles either, she just stared at them... then her eyes rose and she just stared at me ... I must admit, that look of fear and confusion was hot. Later she told me she was terrified when she saw them, but her mind told her not to comment."

K didn't realize that c also had "felt" the after-effects of the phantom anal sex. "That is cool," he said.

"I'm not sure how far along this road I want to take things with her, but I will admit it's an interesting game to play."

...

PS: I think this is my cue to start writing up some guides for how to do this yourself.

Playing Inside my Head

What's the big deal? How is being hypnotized to obey so different from simply being a very devoted submissive?

Since now i'm a bit of both i thought i'd try and tackle the subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences here.

When i first met Sir, we started things out slowly, testing the waters and building trust. Much like any Dom/sub relationship, as we got more comfortable with one another we pushed further. Being a fairly naturally obedient sub, giving over to Him came easily for me with time. There is not much that He would have asked of me that i would not have obeyed.

So ... when we started talking about trance and hypnosis, it was strange that i would be fearful. After all, i already trusted Him to guide and play with my body. After much consideration, it became clear that my fear came from the magnitude of power i would be giving up.

You may wonder why this is so different, so powerful, if i was going to obey Him anyway. For me, the difference is this ...

Before trance, it was a conscious choice to obey, and i knew exactly what i was doing every single time. As a sub, i still had my own thoughts, my own feelings, and my own objections that could be voiced at appropriate moments.

But if i was to give in to the trance, to His voice, He would have free rein to play inside my head. At a moment's notice, He could have me do nearly anything and i would literally be unable to disobey.

After weighing each side pretty carefully, i threw away all the arguments and went with my gut instead of my head like i usually do. i leapt. i gave in, and trusted that while He might push me, He enjoyed playing with me and wasn't going to do anything to ruin that.

Now i just obey, regardless. No thought, no hesitation. It just happens -- and often i don't remember until He allows me to recall it.

The difference is in that moment of hesitation. Before, i needed to think about it, process it and consciously obey. Now ... it just is.

It may seem scary. And quite often i am still in complete awe of what He has achieved, but the power of it is actually somewhat comforting. He still keeps me safe, yet can take me toe to the line, a hair's breadth from my limits, with just a few carefully placed words.

On the flip side, He can take me to a place of such deep relaxation that absolutely everything else in my life falls away. i can literally be a pet at His feet. He can take me away from laundry and dishes and taxes by turning my into a puppy whose only thoughts are of love and cuddles and pleasure. He can change my senses, withhold sensation and turn me into His complete and utter plaything at will.

Without trance this would not be possible, i couldn't have let go that completely.

He has taken me places i never thought i would go. With His words and His incredibly inventive imagination he has gotten further into my head than anyone i have ever known.

Out on the Edge

We've talked about effects, body modification, playing with my memory and the usual kinds of parlour tricks associated with hypnosis, i wanted to take some time to talk about something else We've been working on.

From time to time We have played with things at the very edges of my limits, going so far as to work on one major phobia in particular. i am extremely claustrophobic. This stems from a pretty serious near death experience. i can't stand being in closets or inside anything where my face is covered or i can't see out or get out on my own.

This presents some potential problems for bondage situations that Sir may want to engage in with me including hoods, complete mummification etc...so He thought, and i agreed somewhat nervously that we should work on conquering this together.

He is not a therapist but He definitely understands where my phobia comes from. We've had extensive conversations about it. i've talked through where my fear comes from and what triggers it. With His empathetic nature He is somewhat of a natural at helping me face and conquer this fear.

We started out very very slowly with Him putting me inside a bag for a couple seconds at a time, always with His voice in my ear calming me and keeping me grounded in the present instead of flashing back to past experience. It was very hard at first, being isolated like that and the first few times i think i nearly hyperventilated.

Slowly though, with His calm voice and reassurances i began to be able to spend more and more time inside the bag, eventually growing to 30 seconds or so which would have been unthinkable even a few short months ago. He and i both discussed the progress and decided it was time to continue.

He started by sitting me on the floor and surrounding me with three brick walls so i could still see out the front. Then, with His ever present voice in my ear, He closed the last wall very close around me. i nearly panicked but He quickly brought me back down reassuring me that i was safe and ok ... that He was right there with me.

It took some time to get used to that, to being so completely closed in, the wall going all the way up to the sky, and i still breathe hard and have to really concentrate in order to sit still but please believe me when i say that there is NO WAY that would have been possible before He started this with me.

We have continued to push this boundary and are now working on actual closets which is where my fear comes from so it is the most intense of 'panic buttons'. He has a very clever mind, which you may have noticed, and is always thinking of new ways to replace my fear with pleasure instead, allowing me to move forward in ways that i never imagined possible.

Once or twice He has put a trigger on my closet door so that when i walk in, and get up the courage to close the door, i orgasm. This definitely has a way of tweaking ones perspective, though i am very far from comfortable in the closet with the door closed at least i can stand in there and think about closing the door without abject panic washing over me.

We've also played with my 'younger self' in relation to this fear. He has reverted me to times where closets were fun, exciting places rather than something to be feared. We have played hide and seek several times, hiding from various friends i had when i was younger. We've also played dress up in my mom's closet, the smells and sights so familiar that they instantly calmed me.

Most recently we were in the closet playing 'seven minutes in heaven' which i don't think i've played since about the 8th grade. It was fun kissing Him as my younger self and giggling about what everyone outside was thinking. This has definitely helped change my perception of what the closet is and is somewhat more related to traditional 'therapy' ... though i don't think you're supposed to make out with your therapist.

This is not something to be taken lightly or "played" with. A phobia or trigger this serious needs to be dealt with in a calm and rational manner and should never be used to scare or tease a sub, but with careful planning and tiny baby steps it can be worked through and the line pushed ever so gently forward.

Senses and Sensations

Used to be, when I thought of "sensation play" I meant floggers or ice cubes or my bare right hand. That's so limiting. After all, there are at least five senses, and it turns out that hypnotic commands let you play with all of them.

After a bit of practice, and after you're done with the clearly silly stunts, you can construct remarkably persuasive scenes.

For us, skin and body sensations are still the major element.
* "I'm sitting behind you, reaching around and rubbing your breasts."
* "You're tied tight over the spanking bench, and I'm flogging you."
* It's easy to make pain come and go. She can attach a dozen real-life clothes pins to herself and not feel them until I permit it
* I should probably make a bigger deal of this, but ... she hasn't felt any menstrual cramps for months now. I banished them.

Vision is huge too
* "You're invisible." ("Whoa," she said.)
* "Your clothes are transparent." (That one we've kept permanently.)
* "Whenever you go to Costco, I'm on all the TV screens." (That order is interesting because her subconscious remembered it for two months before needing to invoke it for the first time.)

Taste is subject to my whims:
* I've turned a glass of her fresh pee into a glass of water, and then into the best mojito she's ever tasted.
* Cheap chocolates taste much better when I turn them into Godiva truffles.
* Whenever I say the name of a food or drink, she tastes it on her tongue.

Sound:
* Her car radio has a novel feature. All the men's voices sound like me. Apparently I sound especially great singing Abba tunes.

Smell? Yep. Hypno poop stinks.

As in the real world, the various senses are often combined, making the event seem that much more real.

* During hypnotic sexual acts, she sees, feels and hears me, quite convincingly.
* She can simply watch my hands, miming the stroking and tugging of her nipples, to feel them in action.
* I've inserted a dozen illusionary needles in her breasts. Both seeing and feeling them triggered an orgasm.

But I can also disable sensations, or redirect them:

* The other day, she dripped candle wax onto her own chest, feeling each drop not there but instead as a tongue-lick against her clit. First time I've known someone to cum just from candle drippings alone.

* I turned off all her sensations for 10 seconds. I don't know where she went, but when she came back she was very quiet for a while.

Add Hypnosis to your Toy Bag

She already leaps to his command. She kneels, spreads, accepts, performs, whatever his whim. The routines are well-rehearsed behaviors, her conscious mind having agreed to yield to his control and simply ... obey.

Now imagine that her subconscious mind were under the same level of control, able to respond to a whole new level of commands without any conscious awareness of what's in store.

That's the core of what this blog is all about: Doms and subs, we urge you to try adding hypnosis to your repertoire. You've already laid the groundwork. All you need now is a deliberate, deep trance and the implanting of some core instructions.

The effects can be ... profound.

Each one of these areas deserves its own discussion, but for now here's a quick sample from e's life:

* I can remove events from her memory the moment they happen, and restore them later. So I can replay an intense event over, and over, and over, fresh each time.

* I have added false items to her memory. I've done this often enough that, well, she still hasn't worked out whether that eggplant in her bottom last week was real or not.

* She has experienced persuasive illusions in all her senses. I can decide what she tastes, smells, hears, sees, feels. That evening she spent in the bathroom with Meryl Streep probably combined all of those.

* She has been wrapped up tight in latex, hung upside down from the ceiling, and flogged, an effect so persuasive that her face flushed with all the blood running down to it.

* It's not all an illusion. Some effects have very real consequences. Obeying detailed instructions, she calmly sat at the food court in the mall right after Christmas, removed her bra and panties, and laid them on the table while she ate. Only later did I let her experience the shame.

* Some parts of her body respond very well to instructions. For instance, her bottom has dutifully fully relaxed at my instruction, so she can slide her hand up inside. No matter how often we do this, it still amazes her. On a lighter note: Every time she blinks, her nipples get harder. Kind of embarrassing sometime.

There's much more, in endless combinations, but you get the idea. The sub's mind and body, entirely without her conscious knowledge, are open to instruction, day and night.

Orgasm on Command

Let's jump right in to the deep end. Every once in a while I see the question posed somewhere: Can a woman be trained to orgasm on command? They aren't even asking how it's done; they're just wondering if it's possible. Well ... not only is it possible, I think it's often pretty easy, at least within a dom/sub relationship.

In fact, a trance-induced orgasm is what led us quickly into this whole realm.

Let me tell you what I did, and then I'll extrapolate wildly and suggest how other doms might accomplish the same thing.

I hypnotized e for the first time about two months ago. We were chatting online, voice to voice; she said she'd never been hypnotized before; but I talked her right into a trance without much trouble at all.

I didn't make her cum right away; I stalled maybe five minutes while I first made her feel light, and then warm. Then I just told her to cum. Over the headset I heard her squeal and moan pretty violently. A couple of minutes later, I woke her up. She remembered nothing of her climax. Frankly, I don't think she believed me.

So the next time she was in a trance, I planted a little trigger, a command for her to obey after she woke up. She woke up; I spoke the command; she came. Now she was impressed.

These orgasms are now a completely routine part of her day. She cums at least eight times a day (immediately after peeing), and usually several more as a result of direct commands during our conversations. (Example: Just a few minutes ago, in a crowded living room, she came for 15 seconds, with only the hypnotically induced tape across her mouth keeping her from singing out.) Sometimes she has objects, real or imagined, inserted at the time; sometimes she's frozen like a statue when it happens.

This isn't the first time I've done something like this. A few years ago, I trained a sub to put an orgasm "trigger" in a fairly innocuous part of her anatomy -- that hollow at the base of the neck. If either she or I touched her there, she climaxed without hesitation. Now, I don't remember all the steps I took to get this effect, but a key one was to stroke her there, over and over, and tell her to feel it in her clit. In retrospect, I think she was in a near-trance much of the time we were playing.

Further evidence that orgasm on command is possible: The various fetish videos floating around. One hypnotist favors the word "kapow" as the trigger for his subjects' orgasms. They look quite real to me.

As remarkable as this all sounds, I suspect it happens like this:

Most dom/sub partners have played orgasm denial/permission games. The hotter she gets, the more she begs for release, the stricter you get; the desperation builds; finally you relent and say "cum" or "now" or "go, slut" -- and within seconds she's oscillating. Play that often enough, and intensely enough, and her mind and body learn to associate your command with the physical changes needed to trigger orgasm.

If you are then able to put her into a trance -- and I think most subs will readily go there -- then you can instruct her subconscious to isolate that well-learned trigger. When you say "cum," she will simply cum, skipping entirely over the preliminaries.

But as much fun as it is to watch a woman in a trance having an orgasm, it's a lot more fun if she's awake to appreciate it. So I would go to the trouble of learning how to plant a post-hypnotic suggestion, a trigger, that you can pull as often as you like, after she's awake again.
