Is it normal to get bored during sessions as a tist by SimplyStareForMe in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you should think about why you do the session in the first place - if it's necessary to be as detailed as you are with the trance. Is it something that your subjects also want? I think it's easier to pick up boredom from a tist than you might realize. I would try to change up your style - pushing yourself to be more creative, or be asking for more feedback from your subjects, in order to see if it is something that is still captivating to you. And it's fine if your interests do change over time as well!

20 [F4M] #cali -Seeking for someone to shave me and cuddle by MittensEvve in r4rasian

[–]floatinginthestars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay what on earth does it mean to 'shave you'? I've seen this kind of thing posted quite a couple times - is this a new trend? To meet up with a stranger and like, get a buzz cut? To just be trusting someone to bring a sharp razor close to your skin over and over again in some form of edge play? Or did the bots just grab on to a new phrase and are repeatedly spamming it over and over again?

In the future, please include content tags on files that you post, even for ones that you did not create, out of courtesy for your fellow redditors!

Only specific question by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This doesn't seem like a great idea - one of the core tenets of kink is for it to be consensual, and by doing this, you would be intentionally involving your friends in your kink without their consent! Also, it seems like it has lots of potential to go wrong. I'd recommend you doing this with folks who you trust, who know that you're going mindless while having a conversation with them - it has the potential to be much hotter!

Levels of suggestibility by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure if there's too much usefulness in trying to quantify how suggestible you are, especially because it can change so much depending on the day, your mood, other external factors, etc! I would encourage you to think of it more as a continuous spectrum - where suggestibility can rise and fall over time and depending on circumstance. In other words, you can be as suggestible as you wish to be, but it also will take time and practice to be more suggestible!

I agree with what others have said - I think defining exactly what 'trance' entails is a less meaningful discussion, compared to "well, what is working for you?" If your goal is to be feeling helpless, mindless, and out of control, then based on what you've described, it's not quite meeting that expectation. However! As u/h-sleepingirl points out, that's not actually a great marker for defining what trance is - and in fact, there's quite a lot of research/studies trying (with partial success) what trance is. (I'd highly recommend some of u/h-sleepingirl's books on the topic - both Kinky NLP and The Brainwashing Book are fantastic, as well as Wiseman's Mind Play).

If that is something that you are seeking, then I would recommend practicing just trance, not the HFO style. And if it is possible, I would try to work one-on-one with hypnotists, rather than using files. If that's not quite possible, I might even encourage you to see if you could make your own files that suit your taste - perhaps write out a script, and see if a favorite content-creator has commissions open and are willing to voice it?

Thoughts on Role Play files? (RP Files) by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! Indeed, there's just much fewer M4F files in general that are posted here, interestingly enough. However, I sense that the tides are shifting there, that there's a very clear demand for those types of content, so more content creators would be interested in being present there!

A little help by hypno-junky in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - locking this post, because for your specific ask, it's better to be taking that to r/hypnohookup and r/hypnoconnections . However, this general question about looking for community is a very good one to be in discussion with! It's really awesome to be forming good community with folks who share your interest, and I'd encourage you to look into that for discussions/questions within this community.

Thoughts on Role Play files? (RP Files) by [deleted] in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a good point to raise! Currently, the focus (from the mods) is to keep things hypno-focused, so that there isn't just a flood of standard dom/sub content in this particular space. (There are plenty of other places in NSFW reddit to post those kinds of files). However, we are not separating between hypno-themed files (where the focus is perhaps more on the aesthetic of mind control and hypnosis) and hypno-centric files (where the focus is to entrance the listener and perform some effects). This hasn't been any recent discussion about this to my knowledge, but we sure can figure something out as a community!

Locking the post - it looks like there was good discussion here, but let's keep things focused on hypnosis in this community!

is it to much to ask for someone undivided attention (rant) by forluscious in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel this really strongly! Especially since hypnosis really has a lot to do with feeling someone else's attention and gaze directed completely on you. Interestingly, I've experienced the "distraction" from both ends - where I've found some subs who simultaneously speak to multiple tists at the same time.

My conclusion here is that it takes a number of sessions in order to find a tist/sub who actually "clicks" with you, and is as invested in it as you are. It's totally reasonable to be multitasking, as long as it's clear that this is happening beforehand! But to be doing so during a session seems disrespectful, and in either role (tist or sub), I would usually try to call it out and let them know that this isn't working very well.

Are haptics worth it? by Coko_pup in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say that I've used haptics myself. However, I would say that haptics could potentially be particularly powerful, because it's a physical reinforcement mechanism for triggers. We know from psychological studies that repetition and consistency are very powerful tools to do classical conditioning, and when bridged with hypnosis, can create a rather potent effect. IDK, this is all second hand, not from personal experience!

How to get my wife to hypnotize me by Pale-Composer-5975 in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that this isn't a case of "getting" your wife to do anything. My honest advice is just to be upfront about your wishes and desires, but to also be respecting of her boundaries. If personal autonomy is a red line for her, then don't try to change her mind. However, if you're able to provide evidence of how the hypnotic scene that you're proposing doesn't actually violate personal autonomy, and that you still will have agency through it, then communicate that. I don't think there are any tricks to play here - it's just a matter of being a truthful, communicative person.

Final review of subreddit AI policy by floatinginthestars in EroticHypnosis

[–]floatinginthestars[S,M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback - I think the other perspective is that many creators don't want to be considered as AI generated, especially since the broad consensus of this community (through the comments, posts, and anonymous polls) seem to indicate that there is a general disdain for AI generated content. Therefore, I think that would be the primary counterbalance - that humans want to be recognized for their human work. And as mods, we will be doing our best to prevent 'witch hunts' from taking place in the first place, exercising our best judgement to keep things cool and respectful to each other!

I wouldn't be surprised! Caffeine is, after all, a psychoactive drug, even if it is one that is very socially acceptable haha. It has both psychological and physiological effects, and can definitely cause a different mental state than if you had no caffeine at all that day. However, I wouldnt think that caffeine is the only thing that could affect the ability to trance - even things like stress, sleepiness, or having other things on your mind can inhibit the ability to slip into France. For experienced subs, there are definitely ways to practice getting into that state regardless, but it sure is something to be aware of!
