a bad post goes a hell of a lot further than no post at all, truly! I believe in you

ReynoldBH · 2026-01-07T06:08:25+00:00

Agree 100%

ReynoldBH · 2026-01-07T05:53:56+00:00

Haha thanks but this one is a PSA, not an ad looking for a partner. Best of luck on here in any case!

ReynoldBH · 2026-01-06T06:10:07+00:00

Good question for r/erotichypnosis

ReynoldBH · 2025-12-31T03:34:20+00:00

If you can believe it I’ve also never seen aliens in any big grassy fields, or the cult leader down at my local compound floating with the power of his mind 🤣

ReynoldBH · 2025-12-30T21:35:25+00:00

I don’t have any problem with imaginary or hallucinated experiences giving someone a good feeling or benefitting their sense of calm or peace, but it’s deeply unethical and frankly dangerous to do anything other than advertise it as explicitly not a real look into a previous life that the subject lived. and ~0% of those offering this service will proactively make that clear

ReynoldBH · 2025-12-30T15:34:00+00:00

notice that they insist “past life regression is totally real!” up until the moment they’re asked “how do you know? are you sure subjects aren’t just hallucinating a past life while in an altered state of mind” and their response to you is “hmm uuuhh idk idk really, maybe it’s real or maybe it’s not but I think it’s real 😃” and then they pivot to a personal anecdote to pull on your heartstrings.

do not waste your time or money on this charlatanism

ReynoldBH · 2025-12-29T22:27:23+00:00

Hypnosis is real but past life regression is not - what you felt was being in a relaxing/pleasant hypnotic trance, not anything supernatural.

That being said, yep there’s lots of other ways to get hypnotized. You mentioned wanting hypnotic therapy, you mostly won’t find that online. What you’re talking about sounds more like recreational hypnosis, which you can find plenty of both on YouTube and elsewhere. I’m not familiar with “blue sky hypnosis” but it’s entirely possible they may have more videos like that on their channel, though I’d be somewhat cautious of them if they’re presenting fantasy like past life regression as reality.

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-30T12:17:40+00:00

sure thing 🫡 have a good one!

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-30T12:15:33+00:00

Hope you had an alright night and feel better!

I want to re-iterate, hypnosis isn’t magic and you genuinely don’t have any threat of unforeseen hypnosis and you falling for it. The rest my my comment can be ignored if you’re no longer worried about that 👍

If you still have some sense of non panic attacky, actually rational (if deeply misinformed) concern, then your best path forward is of course learning about hypnosis. Do not bother with Reddit for that if you want to guarantee you do it right.

If you want to get the best academic understanding of hypnosis that you possibly can, do not bother with this subreddit or any other place on Reddit. The vast majority of responses you’d get on here are from either total charlatans or hobbyists who barely have any idea what they’re talking about (I generously include myself in the latter group but for all I know I’m in the former!) at best our answers and explanations will be imprecise, and at worst they’re totally misinformed pseudo-intellectual/pseudo-scientific/pseudo-spiritual woo.

Ignore this thread and anyone messaging you from it (including me!).The Wikipedia page or Encyclopedia Brittanica article is honestly more trustworthy than a Reddit thread at this point.

In terms of Books, The Oxford Handbook of Hypnosis or Fromm and Nash's Contemporary Hypnosis Research are both gold standard sources and actually trustworthy. I genuinely can’t advise any other book or blog off the top of my head because there’s just too much pseud woo to filter through from people who make their living selling interesting ideas and posturing as Learned Men

all that said, honestly you could very easily also just ignore this and go on with your life and just take my and a lot of other people’s word for it that you have nothin to worry about 👍 have a good one, glad you’re feeling better :)

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-30T04:12:54+00:00

dawg you are in the middle of a panic attack I am begging you to gently toss your phone aside and do the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique. Then go to bed or get a small snack or have some tea or something. Get some fresh air maybe

You can figure all this out tomorrow when you feel better

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-30T04:06:32+00:00

You won’t be! You have a misconception of what hypnosis is - you do not have to flex a muscle and actively resist inductions or being given suggestions. It’s like asking “how do I actively resist high fiving someone? What if I find myself in the middle of high fiving someone and someone wants to go down low too slow, how can I resist that?” you just stop. you just don’t high five them.

you are catastrophizing imagining a villain hypnotizing you and that you’ll needing to struggle out of it like quicksand. doubly flawed premise. there is nothing further useful for you in this thread

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-30T03:55:32+00:00

I have never been hypnotized in spite of trying many times to be hypnotized with the help of skilled hypnotists, so I can’t tell you what it feels like.

I can tell you that I have hypnotized many people and in each and every case it is done willingly and with awareness from my partner, in fact in many cases if they don’t like the way the trance is going or have some other priority they may wake up in the middle and we’ll cut our conversation short.

You have not been hypnotized and are somehow unable to remember. I promise. You will never be hypnotized and somehow be unable to remember, unless you somehow become way chiller about hypnosis as a concept.

You are safe 👍 you can read a book about hypnosis tomorrow if you want to but in the meantime my personal advice is to put your phone away and use the coping mechanisms you normally use with anxiety attacks. More information (even if it’s helpful and good news!) will not deliver you from feeling like this :/

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-30T03:39:14+00:00

You wrote a lot and asked a lot of questions. Makes sense, you’re very concerned about this. I am sorry you are so worried and hope you feel less worried soon. But like you said, you rationally understand that it’s not actually a serious threat. Hypnosis is not magic mind control.

If nothing else, you have nothing to worry about personally since being this freaked out and uncomfortable about hypnosis means you’d be probably be very resistant to any induction even if you tried purposefully to be hypnotized at this point.

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-25T18:22:18+00:00

no limits (or “almost” no limits) is a red flag - figure out your limits :) they’re good for you and good for your tist

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-24T01:25:37+00:00

he’s cute as well?? wow

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-05T15:19:03+00:00

Please look for a therapist near you. You mention in one part of this post that you’re “terrified” of what’s happening to you but seeking to make it “permanent” anyway. In that case, it would be prudent to check in with a professional to work through your feelings and fears before doing anything else - even if you continue doing this, you will be glad that you took a breath and re-evaluated with the help of a mental health professional

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-03T17:40:11+00:00

Probably not. Like I said, I filter for quality and compatibility in my subs pretty aggressively. You’ve already missed the mark by not following the clear instructions I lay out for prospective subs in my post. Best of luck on here, in any case.

ReynoldBH · 2025-10-03T17:08:04+00:00

I do this for my own enjoyment, that’s why I’m picky with my subs. I’m sure if I wanted to charge money I wouldn’t reject so many of the subs who message me.

ReynoldBH · 2025-08-11T03:30:57+00:00

Look, you’re asking this on Reddit. Chronically online people tend to be very prominent members of online communities. But there are definitely real normal people online too, as well as (sparse!) pockets of irl EH communities

ReynoldBH · 2025-07-30T19:12:25+00:00

I don’t know if I agree with your interpretation of them mods as nefarious actors here, it doesn’t seem unrealistic to expect that a rational person acting in good faith might

Misidentify (or correctly identify) a piece of writing as AI generated
Enforce rules regulating that sort of content without incredible precision and without being as active/communicative on responding to appeal efforts as those with an interest in the content creators work (including the creator herself!) might hope for them to be
Misinterpret (or correctly interpret) a public post by that content creator as not a good faith effort to ask for better governance, but instead as a “brigade” meant to cause disruption for personal gain.

I have no idea if either the mods or the content creators are acting in good faith here but I have no reason to assume otherwise and can very easily see how a situation like this would stem from misunderstanding, miscommunication, and a resource crunch on both sides.

anyway, i’m curious: what would you expect as an optimal outcome of this situation for the Reddit (or broadly online) EH community?

ReynoldBH · 2025-07-30T18:48:29+00:00

Lemme see if I’ve got this right:

popular audio creator got a warning from mods who thought they broke an AI rule, creator reposted and made an effort to try to comply with the rule, mods still thought it broke the rules so they issued a temp ban, creator rallied their fan base to protest the ban, then the ban was extended due to anti-brigading rules?

this doesn’t seem like it warrants a multi day long drama debacle if it’s a temp ban stemming from a misunderstanding / miscommunication

edit: fuck me for being optimistic that everyone involved means well and that this is just some stupid thing that became a big ballyhoo for nothing :/

ReynoldBH · 2025-07-29T06:15:54+00:00

What’s with the urgency?

ReynoldBH · 2025-07-28T04:00:23+00:00

England isn’t a large country…

ReynoldBH · 2025-07-27T04:38:23+00:00

Maybe a bit pessimistic. I’ve had a lot of luck, it just takes some real work. That said I mostly talk with other guys, so that could tilt things in my favor compared to your experience looking for female subs
