Erotic hypnosis is the practice of hypnosis and similar forms of mental persuasion or mind control to effect another person's sexuality, sexual perceptions or to enhance their sexual experiences. Reducing inhibitions and increasing arousal are the most common goals of erotic hypnosis, as are the placement of trigger words in the subject's mind as post-hypnotic suggestions that can cause him or her to react in a certain way at a future time: when triggered.
Erotic hypnosis can include suggestions intended to improve sexual health. Hypnotic suggestions may include techniques to overcome aprehension about fellatio, increase sensuality, improve libido, and even to increase breast size.[1]
Another common form of erotic hypnosis is Hypnotic Fantasy. In Hypnotic Fantasy, the subject is placed in a trance and taken through an predetermined sexual experience, such as an orgy. Depending on the depth of the trance and the skill of the hypnotist, the subject's experience can range from mildly erotic to being as real as any they have had in their lives.
Erotic hypnosis may be used within a Dominance and submission (or D/s) relationship as a form of erotic power exchange, with the submissive person willingly surrendering his or her will to the dominant in exchange for sexual pleasure and/or an emotional bond.
Personality transformation is another common fantasy. People who identify with the submissive side of erotic hypnosis often fantasize about being freed from responsibilities or inhibitions and transformed into someone who can freely enjoy the sexual pleasures they imagine or read about. Such sexually submissive personae include the slave, female stereotypes like the "bimbo," "slut," and stripper, and fictional characters from popular media.
History
Erotic hypnosis has a long history, stretching as far back as the ancient world. Western culture (along with many others around the globe) is filled with early myths of seduction by some form of mind control. The Sirens of Greek mythology are famously depicted in Homer's Odyssey as having a "bewitching" song that lures sailors to their deaths.[2] The witches of the Middle Ages also had a hypnotic aspect in their sexuality. In medieval legend, an incubus was a demon in male form supposed to lie upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them.[original research?] A succubus, on the other hand, was a female demon who came to men, especially monks, in their dreams to seduce them, drawing energy from the men to sustain themselves, often until the point of the victim's exhaustion or death. The succubus legend was an explanation for the phenomena of wet dreams and sleep paralysis. Examples of succubi are found in various mythologies and fantasies, such as Lilith and the Lilin (Jewish), Lilitu (Sumerian) and Rusalka (Slavic).[3]
During the 1900's, as clinical hypnosis was being developed as a legitmate area of medical science, practitioners, mostly hobbyists, began experimenting its psycho-physiological control aspects as a means to influence arousal and sexual interest.
Australian hypnotist and educator Peter Masters published the first instructional work on the subject of erotic hypnosis titled Look Into My Eyes, and has encouraged further development of the field and is considered a leader in the field.
Recently, the Relyfe Programming school of hypnosis has been adapted to erotic mind control. Relyfe Programming changes the way in which the mind and body react to environment, situations, people and, in some cases, special trigger words, by permanently changing the way the subject's body and mind remember reacting to them, for their entire lives to date.[4]
In erotic hypnosis, Relyfe Programs have been put in place to to cause subjects to become aroused or orgasm on command, to believe that they were born to be sex slaves in BDSM relationships or to experience uncontrollable sexual reactions to certain predetermined situations.
Erotic Hypnosis is finding increasing acceptance in popular culture and countless websites dedicated to the subject have been created in recent years.
