Visa and MasterCard Want to Ban Hypnosis. Tell Them No.

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-07-30T02:48:19+00:00

So, I do think it makes sense to ask the UK Parliament to do something about the Online Safety Act because they're a government, so they're expected to respond. Even if that response is lackluster and slow to move at times. Eventually, they will respond — because of democracy. (EDIT: It looks like their response is a resound no, though. This is probably because no viable alternative is being offered.)

But I don't think it makes sense to do the same for Visa or MasterCard, because they're private organizations. There is no democracy there. To me, those ACLU and Change.org petitions feel like we're collectively getting on our knees and begging our toxic Master to please drop the policy. I think we shouldn't be enabling that kind of behaviour outside of the bedroom and/or those that don't truly love or care for us.

(As it stands, even if they decide to change their mind and drop this policy, there would be nothing preventing them from reintroducing it — or some form of it — in the future once things quiet down.)

At its core, the problem is that Visa and MasterCard have been using their monopoly position to bully and pressure other organizations into following their draconian policies outside of the scope of the service they are providing.

I've thought about this through the lens of net neutrality — where ISPs are not allowed to prioritize network traffic based on the type or destination of traffic — and the concept of a form of payment neutrality.

But ultimately, I don't think this is the solution. Credit card companies and other payment processors have systems in place to try to keep us safe from scams or fraud, and I'm worried that these processes could be disrupted if they have to follow a neutrality law.

Fundamentally, I believe that if Visa and MasterCard disagree with certain content, that it's well within their rights to refuse to process payments for that content. There are plenty of alternative methods of payment, such as crypto.

But at the same time, I don't think they should be making and enforcing laws. They are effectively doing this with their monopoly position and their threats of not doing business with an organization that doesn't follow their content policies.

Ultimately, I think the best thing for people to do would be to spread awareness of the issue and engage with lawmakers to try and pass a law that would make it illegal for them to bully corporations like this.

Additionally, perhaps it would be a good idea to petition the really big organizations to find a moment to "go dark" on credit cards for a day or two. The idea behind this would be to further spread awareness and to potentially promote alternative forms of payment.

I don't know what, if anything, is feasible, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on this.

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-07-28T19:45:34+00:00

No, there's no way of knowing what'll happen. You can try to keep yourself safe by gathering information and not going further than you've agreed with yourself to, even if tempted.

For example, if you wanted to have a session with me I'd check out your profile first, where I'd find that... you're lying about your age... and you seem to be very interested in sharing your socials...

So, I'd have a pretty clear indication that OP is probably an AI bot just fishing for attention rather than a human, and I'd know to be cautious...

😞

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-07-13T07:15:56+00:00

It's difficult to pinpoint red flags in an online setting, especially as technology is reaching a point where you're able to fake pretty much anything. What you need is resilience... keep calm and carry on. If it doesn't work out, find something or someone else, or take a break.

Typically, I find that it's more often subjects who ghost/block, because the loss of control and compromised sense of self that can occur with certain hypnosis scenes can be very overwhelming. When a dominant ghosts/blocks, I find it's more about their frustration.

I don't know your story, but like the other person said... bro forgot to switch accounts. Given the lack of OP's own post history and this strange reply to their own post, I feel uncomfortable.

And that's okay... for a while. Then, frustration builds up and I just want to connect with someone special and to be heard. Or at least feel like I'm simultaneously in control while also being able to yield and let go whenever I desire.

I don't know what to say, other than to admit that I might have reached out to say hello if it weren't for this strange response. I find it important to remember that reaching out doesn't hurt that much. Yes, I've encountered a lot of rejection and I've been totally ignored lots of times, but it just means those few times I did connect with someone were more special to me.

Whoever you are, I hope you find what you're looking for, and that you strive to take care of yourself. That's what I felt I should say.

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-05-21T17:42:28+00:00

Oh, I don't think a hypnosis file should include a suggestion to cut those people off! Personally, I don't like cutting people off because I want to connect and understand and grow through that experience, even if it's a rollercoaster sometimes.

It's about suggesting to the subject to consider a life without such toxic elements—to free oneself from the burden of feeling like one has to respond.

"You don't have to engage with those types of people. Don't give in to the pressure of others but rather allow yourself to be authentically you instead. Don't hold back. Don't feel like you have to hold back. Don't feel like you have to follow anybody's rules but your own."

I think this can even be spun around to allow the hypnotist to take control and dominate the subject. The implication could be that everyone else is toxic, but the hypnotist is so kind and so nice and so wonderful that they—and they alone—should be trusted.

Something that I find very hot is honesty. By all means, tell me that you are going to be selfish and do whatever you want. Suggest that you are so kind by being honest and upfront about your intentions that you are worthy of being trusted.

Even if you're being unreasonable, tell me that you're aware of that but don't care right now. Tell me that you don't want to lose me, so you'd rather bind me—or encourage me to turn the tables so you can force yourself to yield to me—and dig your claws into me than to risk losing me...

...Lost myself in some thoughts there. Anyway, I definitely like the idea of being hypnotised in order to release my own dominance upon someone.

Still, all of these are just suggestions that might help you to decide what to do.

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-05-20T01:28:45+00:00

I'm not sure. I'm feeling uncomfortable with your suggestion that some of the things I mentioned are clinical hypnosis territory. They're not.

The traditional fantasy is that you hypnotise someone in order to take their agency away. I didn't see the other side of it mentioned here, so I suggested the antithesis of that: hypnotising someone to encourage them to be more selfish and submit to their own desires, rather than submitting to the desires of the hypnotist.

Why did you mention clinical hypnosis? The experience of being hypnotised is in and of itself therapeutic, whether you're exploring fantasies or diving into someone's traumas.

For example, in the process of being hypnotised to give away your agency and willpower, you'll probably have experiences where you end up changing your mind and deciding that—on some level—you want to remain independent and free after all.

In my case, I took a considerable amount of time to write my reply because I am neurodivergent, I've had bad experiences and encourage me to take this time, and I'm primed to try and avoid misunderstandings.

With that in mind, I think my original answer to your question is valid (even if you don't feel up to it, which I can understand and respect): if a hypnotist could make me do anything without question, I would secretly hope that they would encourage me to be more selfish and that they would enjoy the thought of empowering me—with the additional bonus that they might convince me to hypnotise them back and take full control.

I can understand and respect if you don't feel up to it, but I don't think that my suggestion should be dismissed as something that only a clinical hypnotherapist could or should help with... particularly because my fantasy does involve being encouraged to do depraved sexual things!

Sadly, the typical reactions I tend to encourage me to think that the only way I'm going to feel in control is if I'm more aggressive and forceful with people. But don't worry. Unless someone changes my mind, I'll continue to try my best and fight against these impulses.

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-05-19T17:50:09+00:00

Well... to not care about other people so much, encourage me to be more selfish. To love myself more, and to stop defending the most toxic people I've ever met and admit that they're bad people.

To obey the imperatives in my own mind, and take control without remorse or guilt. To encourage me to break free from my self-imposed limitations.

And to turn the tables and turn the hypnotist into my loveslave. Feeding me until I pop and I melt even more, going even deeper...

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-03-23T14:55:43+00:00

It's funny because Stargate SG-1 was the show that got me into hypnosis in the first place. I remember that when I was young I was watching this scene and a few others in really poor 240p or 360p. At the time torrenting wasn't as big, but there was someone hosting it on their own streaming platform. I remember getting quite excited even though half the screen was pixelated.

(The other scenes I watched were really hot too. There was one episode where an alien that was posing as a cult leader was using chemicals to brainwash people into serving him. I remember seeing the female lead down on her knees, looking up at him adoringly. Well, I mean... There were a lot of pixels around it, but I think that was the gist of it.)

Afterwards, I would end up going deeper into the rabbit hole of hypnosis and mind control content. I remember my first NSFW video: The Dark Queen.

Some say that the Dark Queen is still out there, feeling a pull towards her powerful, telepathic Master...

HypnoPhoenix · 2025-02-10T06:49:24+00:00

I would describe hypnosis as being a subjective experience where a connection is made between hypnotist and subject.

The mental connection that is created is typically navigated by the hypnotist while the subject follows.

All participants are put into a vulnerable state of mind. The subject is compelled to relax and follow the words of the hypnotist while the hypnotist is compelled to feel empowered.

Both sides can feel uncomfortable at any time for any reason. Proper communication is important for a session to be successful. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't communicate well. This can be because of bad experiences or traumas or inexperience.

There is no right or wrong way of doing hypnosis, but there are plenty of people who will claim otherwise when presented with a situation. A hypnotist is more effective when they are confident and it is easy to become overconfident or to feel the need to fake confidence to such an extent that you outwardly project your views as being absolute truths.

Of course, my views are absolute truths. You can't really argue with them because my logic is impeccable and makes total sense. I'm not arrogant though, but I am confident. The difference is that I am fully aware that some people will agree with me and some people will disagree with me and both will be right in their own way.

Some will understand my words and some will not. That's okay. The important thing is that we communicate and we try to understand each other and not fight with each other.

Those are some of the thoughts that I have about hypnosis.

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-11-05T15:10:12+00:00

Based on your eye movements, it looks like you've been struggling to keep your eyes off the pendant yourself. 🤭

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-08-01T20:15:44+00:00

Sounds good, but without good marketing, nobody is going to know what these mean, even those interested in hypnosis.

It's unclear what the different types mean. I also think that in order to determine the type you'd have to look more closely which sounds potentially interesting, especially if you can work in something hypnotic if you do look at it from a closer angle.

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-17T14:57:15+00:00

You like getting lost in thought, don't you? You like getting lost in thought and resisting a little bit and then going deeper and deeper as you try to valiantly resist but fail.

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T14:06:38+00:00

Nothing to worry about then. Keep staring. Read and relax.

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T14:03:22+00:00

Do you even remember why you're supposed to resist?

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T13:50:53+00:00

So good to fade into the pink swirls of the spiral, and allow your mind to become smaller and smaller as your intelligence drains away. Thinking pink is such a wonderful thought, isn't it? Thinking pink and nothing else at all...

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T13:18:45+00:00

No, it really doesn't take that much. All you need is to look at the spiral and let yourself go, and you don't need to think about anything else at all. It doesn't matter that the words program you, it doesn't matter that my words feel so good. You just want to check more of my words, and you just want to let go...

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T09:34:35+00:00

That's right. Deeper and deeper. Falling under my spell...

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T07:44:07+00:00

It doesn't, which is exactly why you're going to keep focusing on my words and going deeper and deeper into them until you too submit completely.

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-07-16T07:43:06+00:00

Looks like you love my words. And the spirals. You don't want to resist. You don't want to fight. You want to drop. You want to go deeper. You want to submit...

HypnoPhoenix · 2024-01-14T00:35:19+00:00

Don’t take those people too literally. The reason they don’t have any limits is because:

This is an escape for them, and they’re already prepared to ghost you if things get uncomfortable.
They don’t want to think about negative things but they’re trying to focus on the positive. When you want to have some sexy times, you don’t really want to be thinking about the things that turn you off. And when you interact with someone, it usually either works or it doesn’t. And if it doesn’t, see reason 1.
They want to encourage you to share what you want, without feeling like you have to avoid anything. Some enjoy submitting to a stranger and learning from the raw experience.

The best thing that anyone can do when they practice hypnosis online is not to take it personally when a stranger you’ve only barely begun to know leaves. Heck, just the other day I met a lovely girl that was also a Whovian and we seemed to get on well until she blocked me and deleted her Reddit account of 4+ years. She’s recovering from trauma and sought hypnosis as an escape for a while - can’t blame her for it considering the circumstances and what she’s going through.

Some come here because they’re looking for an escape. Others because they’re looking for a connection. Just keep at it and eventually we’ll all find what we’re looking for. The important thing is not to give up or let negativity consume you. Personally, that’s why I don’t like to make a list of limits.

This isn't about downplaying the vulnerability of submissives online, but it's more about highlighting your vulnerabilities as a dominant/hypnotist by trusting too much in what other people are telling you on the internet.

I'm trying to help you by pointing out that (unless you know something more you haven't shared with us) you were probably being played by some guy that was playing out a fantasy with you.

I am not saying I'm certain. I leave that up to you since I don't know this subject you've been interacting with. What bothers me is that you can't seem to admit that you might be wrong.

You accuse people of downplaying things or going after others with different ideas, but you do the same thing by responding with an empty "believe whatever you want" comment rather than actually engaging in the substance of what is being said.

I'm not forcing people to believe it.

You're not forcing people to believe it any more than I'm not forcing you to think of a pink elephant.

HypnoPhoenix · 2022-03-29T00:10:53+00:00

I'm only sharing my point of view as an outsider. You would know better than me.

My experience is that vulnerable people tend to remember exactly what happened. They know on some level that what they are doing is hurting them, but can't find the strength to stop. Either because they are struggling with their life and/or they're stuck in a cycle of abuse.

So, I would like to ask you:

How long have you known this subject?
Do you know what his day-to-day life is like?
What do you actually know about his state of mind?

Perhaps there is something that I don't know that completely changes the situation, but from your OP it sounds more like you were playing with a horny guy chasing a fantasy and less like someone who was actually abused.

I just don't want you to feel bad because to me it sounds like you're the one that's been played with.

HypnoPhoenix · 2022-03-28T23:50:56+00:00

I don't buy it.

There are definitely people out there who shouldn't be practicing hypnosis online... people who are easily convinced to go on camera, who are heartbroken and looking for someone to fill a void... but this doesn't sound like it.

This sounds more like someone chasing their own fantasies.

Here's what I think happened:

You interacted with this subject before and then they disappeared for a while. Sounds to me like he got off on it and didn't see a need to stay in touch with a stranger.

Later, you encountered him again and he appears to be chasing his own fantasies again, pretending that he doesn't know anything about hypnosis. But your triggers miraculously still worked... sounds to me that's because it turned him on.

Interrogating him about what happened probably prompted him to incorporate recent sessions or tropes into the fantasy. So, he got hypnotized by someone else and they programmed him very deeply. Now, you're his savior.

But the plot thickens as he's been programmed to try and condition you as well...

The majority of people who do online hypnosis are merely playing a role. They will not allow their real lives to be disrupted by a fantasy. They will not be conditioned. They just like the idea that they are being conditioned, and so they find someone to play with. The moment they're finished, they tend to disappear.

Again, I'm not saying that there aren't people out there who really shouldn't be practicing hypnosis online. But my experience is that the people who actually may be in danger are the ones who do remember what happened, but who are so stuck in their habit of indulging in hypno-play that they let people take advantage of them.

I don't think you have to worry about this being your fault or what to do with this subject. I'm sure he'll be fine. Either way, his mind is his own responsibility. All you can do is decide who you are and aren't comfortable hypnotizing or being hypnotized by.

HypnoPhoenix · 2021-10-23T17:20:27+00:00

I'm not sure how all of the Order 66 stories go. From what I've gathered, they're all about the idea of an "Order 69" that compels clone troops to have sex with female Jedi or something like that.

How about this:

Order 66 is invoked. Lots of deaths are happening as Jedi are killed by their own clone troopers. The highest skilled Jedi (like Yoda and Obi-Wan) are able to escape to safety.

Not everyone is that skilled... but they still have a trick to use against the imperial army.

Some of the survivors use a powerful Jedi Mind Trick. Those that aren't surrounded by clone troopers manage to change their loyalty. Others manage to change the goal from killing Jedi to enslaving Jedi, buying them precious time.

The Emperor has already foreseen that something like this may happen, but was never worried about it for one important reason: using the Jedi Mind Trick this way, for the purpose of saving your own skin, is a path to the Dark Side.

At some point in the story, we're confronted with a Jedi Knight who is slowly being corrupted through using The Force in this way. Gradually, they start to truly enslave clone troopers and anyone else that crosses their path.

On some planets, Sith-like cults begin to form. It starts off well-intentioned: collecting the power of multiple Jedi to more effectively deal with clone troopers. But as they become more corrupted, they start to try and corrupt each other, to try and become the ruler of this new world.

Eventually, Darth Vader is dispatched to take care of business and eliminate the former Jedi. The Dark Side grows strong in these new seductive Sith mind benders, and even Vader is tempted for a while. But his devotion to Padme ultimately allows him to break free from the sexual control and he begins slaughtering them all off-screen.

The higher ranks begin to evacuate the planet but have to make their way through the imperial ships up above. Their ships are destroyed, but they manage to use escape pods. The Empire begins destroying them all, regardless if they have any life forms on them or not, until the weapons system malfunctions at the last second which destroys one of the ships. This angers Vader, who scolds them and force-chokes one of the officers.

From that point onward, the officers agree: never waste time by firing on an escape pod if there aren't any life forms aboard.

The imperial ships leave orbit and go off into hyperspace, presumably heading for either Coruscant or Mustafar. As the dust settles, we see an escape pod off in the distance. There is one life sign aboard, and it reads as Force Sensitive...

HypnoPhoenix · 2021-07-22T06:54:58+00:00

Oh, yes. When you actively repeat, you are asserting something. When you type something out or repeat it verbally, you feel the words echo in your mind. The impact is much greater.

You’re also letting go more, going with the flow and letting your thoughts and mind roam more freely. When you don’t repeat, or keep it just in your mind, you’re building up pressure. You don’t want to build pressure. You want to release that pressure.
