Freaky Fridays: Hypnofetishism

A lot of sexual play is based around control. Large parts of BDSM, rape fantasies, slave play, and so on, are build around losing or gaining complete control over another person. Control play is easy. It has its extremes and is sometimes as simple as being the top or the bottom for a change. It can be holding down your sex partners arms, and as (consensually) cruel as orgasm denial. 

It does really beg the question though, how much control can a person lose? What is the truest form of gaining complete mastery over someone? Is it having a live in slave? Does your partner's hold on your collar and leash to keep you in disciplined and powerless in the bedroom? 

What could possibly make someone more vulnerable then being strapped down with no way to wiggle you limbs free?

The answer is east enough. Mind control, hypnofetishism, or what's referred to by its advocates as erotic hypnosis. 

The principles are the same used by the asshole at your company christmas party, who made you boss quack like a duck. Only instead of quacking, the boss-duck's probably getting a dick in its mouth.

The submissive is placed into a trance, or at least if accommodating enough will appear to enter a trance for their partner. There are a variety of methods of recommended for non-professionals to bring their others into the suggestible state required and then even more for "deepening" the subjects dream like state. They include combinations of lights, sounds, voice suggestion, swinging pocket watches, and even annoying spinning vortexes available on the internet.

From there the subjects actions are controlled by suggestion. The goal being to have control of the others actions, perceptions, and the level of their arousal. 

The hypnotist is given total control, while the hypnotee is freed from any inhibition, fear, and in an erotic sense, responsibility for their actions. They are totally free to be completely dominated without forcing their partner to learn a series of complicated knots.

The mind of the sub can be sent to fantasy locations, placed in drastically different scenarios, and all of the 5 senses told to experience a sensation a step or two off from reality.

Personally, I don't 100% buy into the idea that I can be pushed aside and my subconscious erotic imagination brought to the forefront, and then bent and shaped to someone else's desire. Maybe I'm not suggestible enough, or maybe someone doesn't know what they're capable of until some ass with a pocket watch is tell you to do it.
