HypnoFocus BBS HypnoFocus Main:
I will be in Los Angeles on the night of Monday, December 11.
Ironically enough, even though I spend a lot of time in Phoenix, I rarely have any reason to be in L.A.
Anyone who is interested in meeting up, should e-mail me at aaron@hypnofocus.com
I may also be doing some travel in the United States throughout December and January. Anyone interested in meeting up should also e-mail me.
I might be hopping over to Europe around Christmas and New Years to attend a conference.
I'm also looking to be in Asia next year in mid to late January or possibly February. I'll be looking to expand my contacts in Asia throughout next year. So, if
you are in Asia, and want to meet up, then definitely let me know!
I'd like to share with you one of the daily blessings in my life.
A necessary part of living a life that spans three continents is that sometimes you need to move money from place to place. In this circumstance there's a web
hosting bill that is several months past due that I need to settle up, and for the first time this year, I've had the extra money to do it.
PayPal, while profitable for me in the past, isn't an option. When e-bay bought PayPal a few years ago, PayPal immediately stopped processing transactions for
anything adult related. They froze my account with half a grand in in. I got my money from them eventually, and for a few years after refused to use them.
Eventually, I decided that their convenience for e-bay and other things outweighed my disgust of their company, and decided to try to open a new account with them.
However, it's been very difficult to get it up and running, due to the fact that they've closed a previous account with me, and because I'm in their system as a
business person in the adult industry.
So, for the most part, when I need to send or to receive money over long distances, I've gone through Western Union. Even though their charges are outrageous
(anywhere from 35 to 70 dollars to send money) and they will give you an inaccurate exchange rate (usually several cents on the dollar different from the standard
rate that you'll get from any bank), for the most part they are the only game in town.
This brings us to today. Happy that I was finally going to be able to resolve an issue that has been bothering me for some time now, I logged on to their website.
After a lengthy process, I was ready to finally send my money. And for the low, low rate of 927 Dollars, I would be able to send 615 Euros across the planet. ( The
Universal Currency Converter at XE.com - http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi - says that I should be able to buy 695 Euros for 927 dollars).
An awful deal. However, sometimes you just got to swallow it.
At the last screen after all my confirmations, where it should have said, everything is done, instead told me that I would now have to call them.
So, I made a telephone call to them, from Asia, and who knows how much a minute.
After asking me a million questions, verifying information that I had never given them, the woman on the phone told me that due to business policies, they would not
put my transaction through. I asked her what policy prevented this, and she refused to tell me.
I told her that this was ridiculous, and that I wanted to speak with her boss. She put me on hold and then told me that her boss gave her another way to put it
through. She then asked me for the last four digits of my Social Security number and a few other bits of information, and told me that the transaction was going
through, and in two minutes my receiver would be able to pick it up. I had her read back the name of my receiver to me, to make sure they didn't mess it up.
Annoyed at the hassle, annoyed at the representative, and annoyed at the outrages charges for the privilege of being annoyed and wasting my time, I none the less
drafted the e-mail to the person who I owe money to, with instructions on how to pick up the money, and further details related to the transfer.
Then about half an hour later, I decided to go to the western union website to check the progress of my transaction. I put in the information, and it brought
nothing up. I logged in to my account and it showed me no transactions.
So I call them back up, and get some guy on the phone telling me that my transaction was cancelled to to business policies. I told him to check my account and talk
to the other representative and figure out what was going on, because there was a charge in my bank account to Western Union, and this other person either didn't do
the transfer properly or she flat out lied to me, and neither were acceptable.
The guy I was talking to didn't seem to hear me, and started reading things verbatim from his script, so I told him that he wasn't providing me with what I needed
and that I wanted to talk to his boss.
I got someone claiming to be his boss on the phone and told him everything that happened, and asked him what he was going to do about it. He told me that there was
nothing he could do about it. So I asked him if my transfer was going through or if the person I spoke to had lied to me. He told me that this person probably lied
to me. I told him this was beyond unacceptable, and asked him what was he going to do about it. He asked me if I had the employees name or id number, and I told him
no. Then I asked him if they had any record of who has been doing what with my account. He told me that they didn't. I asked him if they recorded these calls, and
he said that they did, so I told him to play back the tape where the first representative was telling me that the transfer was complete and that my receiver would
be able to pick up the funds within two minutes. He told me that he couldn't do this.
I told him that they were expecting people to trust them with their money, and that this was unacceptable. He shrugged it off, and I could tell that I was ready to
start screaming at him, which clearly would gain me nothing, so I hung up on him.
Now I'm going to post this e-mail to a few places where a few thousand people who value my opinion will read it, and never use Western Union again (or ever). I will
never use them again and I will tell anyone who brings them up about this experience.
I wanted to update all of you on the VISA situation for HypnoSlave.com.
I still can't accept it.
Here is the reason why. It involves a little bit of back story in how things work in the adult industry.
Credit card transactions for anything in the adult industry are classified as "high risk." A few years ago VISA instituded new regulations for approving adult
websites, and monitoring their incidences of fraud and chargeback. Any website that didn't pass the muster would lose it's ability to continue accepting VISA. To
pay for all this they created what I call the "VISA Ass-Rape Fee." $750 dollars the first year and 375 every year after that. In exchange for this VISA tax, you
get nothing. It's basically extortion. You either pay it or you don't get to accept VISA. I've been paying it for years.
On top of that, very few banks will handle adult processing, citing it's high risk, which is strange because isn't the whole point of this fee to have a paper trail
that shows that you are on the up and up? These things never benefit the webmaster. So, then you have to go through a merchant processer, and hope that they
don't screw you over. I use CCBill, they haven't screwed me over in the last couple of years that I've been with them. I've been with other processors in the
past. I drop them immediately if they screw me over.
So, the process to get a website up and on the net and accepting credit cards is something along these lines:
Create the website -> Submit the website to processor approval -> Processor submits the website to VISA approal.
This procedure used to only take a few days. Now I'm being told that it takes 21 days. CCBill approved HypnoSlave for processing on October 28, and now on
November 21 VISA is still not being accepted.
So, I've sent CCBill another e-mail, and am prepared to be offered a response of little substance, basically telling me to wait and see. At this point either
someone at VISA has dropped the ball (and there is no way to hold them accountable) or someone at CCBill has not only dropped the ball, but has also screwed the
pooch (and once again there is no way to hold them accountable). So I will patiently continue to make my inquiries because there is nothing else that I can do.
This isn't particularly good for me, because I've invested a whole lot of time, money, energy and material in to this project, and every day that I can't acept VISA
it's costing me in sales and lost revenue and aggrivation of people who want to sign up.
So anyways some of you have been curious, and here's the 4-11.
Here is the online version of an article that
appeared in the October issue of Bizarre Magazine in the UK. It appears on North American news stands on or about the 16th of
this month.
The moment that a number of you have waited for is here. HypnoSlave.com has gone live.
Expect more announcements in regards to the continuing development of HypnoSlave to come in the days ahead. Also, tomorrow I should be sending off e-mails to the
three winners of the contest for free HypnoSlave memberships.
Hey, let me ask you how would I go about finding local hypnosis groups of different types and flavors in my
area? I am in MN and just want to know what kinds of things are going on. Might be nice to meet new people and learn different things in regard to hypnosis.
I've got a few bits of news. I've been on the road for the past two weeks, so it's been pretty hectic. It was necessary for me to head back to Canada so that I
could pick up the last of the older HypnoGames.com source tapes, so that I could
complete the conversion of all my past sets to Standard Definition.
Speaking of the conversion to Standard Definition, a HypnosisFetish.com
member e-mailed me to tell me that a few of the Violet sets were still in the old format. I've confirmed this, and I'm sorry for the mix up. When you juggle a few
hundred gigabytes of data, sometimes mistakes get made. I will update this the moment I get back to Phoenix. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Also, this last weekend there was a service outage for most of my domains, with only HypnoSlave.com and HypnoGames.com being unaffected. This was due to an issue at one of my server
co-location facilities. I'm not expecting this issue to happen again. However, in the coming months, I'm going to add another server at another facility to serve
as a backup in case of an outage. Unfortunately, this will cost 1,000 dollars at the low end + 600 dollars a year, or 3,000 dollars at the high end + 600 dollars a
year to do. I would do it on the cheap as a stop gap if it happened again, or I'll implement it when I upgrade my server to a serious piece of equipment that I've
been lusting over, probably Q1 or Q2 2007.
Speaking of HypnoSlave.com, I've posted the listing of all the clips in one of
the opening sets, Brittany and Nails HypnoSlave
Twosome. You can expect to see the listings of a few more of the opening sets to be posted very shortly (maybe even today). We're getting much closer to the
launching of the site.
Finally, I'm in a period of travel, that should be continuing for quite some time, so if anyone is interested in booking me for a show, guest appearance,
conference, event, party, interview or whatever, I plan on being available in Eastern Canada (Toronto and Montreal) for the next few weeks, East Coast USA shortly
after that, West Coast USA shortly after that, then Asia after that, and EU around Christmas time and to ring in the New Year. E-mail aaron@hypnofocus.com if you would like to explore making arrangements.
With the opening of Hypnoslave imminent (exclamation marks cannot communicate my happiness), I wanted to reopen the subject of suggested content and invite others
to comment.
For me, one of the most important elements of good D/S hypnosis is that obdience is imposed upon the subject unwillingly or unwittingly. (Obviously, I don't
literally mean this because hypnosis is necessarily deep-down consensual, but part of effective D/S hypnosis is creating the illusion of nonconsensuality, so this
is how I'm going to write.)
If this isn't established, then I don't care how many times the subject says "yes master"--it won't do much for me. It'll look like the subject came in for a
shoot, the hypnotist said "just do what I say while we're filming," she said "OK, as long as I get paid," and then the tape started rolling. Seeing a girl go
through the motions of a hypnoslave isn't sexy.
That's why, IMO, it's so important to set up what the subject doesn't desire/believe/expect about what will/can happen to her. I think the "Carla" set is easily
the best example on hypnosisfetish.com/hypnogames.com: Through her interview and the induction, she clearly conveys her skepticism and resistance, but is slowly
broken down and loses all control. Another great example is the "Tawny" video produced by hypnovideo.com. At the beginning is an interview (I think these are
always necessary), during which she explains that she is afraid of "losing control" and being compelled to act like an animal, and she resists the induction a bit.
But once she's under for a while, she readily agrees to do what she said she was afraid of.
Thank you, they're my favorites out of the session.
In which ones are the girls hypnotized?
They are hypnotized in the last two. In the second to the last they are recovering from a whole lot of orgasms, and in the last I'm doing some of my hypnosis/BDSM
fusion.
Aaron, those Hypnoslave pics look promising indeed! I can't wait to see the site launch! Hopefully that "soon" you refer to will be sooner rather than later!
:P
I'm glad you like them...
Yes, the site is very close. I have enough material right now to launch it. I still need to edit and make clips from that material. I also still need to design
the site it's self.
All the production level stuff for the website is pretty well in place.
With a little luck it should be up within two weeks.

Hey Aaron I think I might of missed something but is there a reason you don't except Pay Pal? Is it because there bastards.
No, I don't accept PayPal. This has been my policy for a couple of years now. I wrote this when I instituted that policy.
Can I PayPal You?
Unfortunately I cannot accept PayPal at this time. I would like to, believe me, but it's an unfortunate story.
After over two years of having a very profitable relationship with PayPal, doing several thousands of dollars worth of transactions a month, and enjoying the
benefits of the PayPal debit card, PayPal decided to change their attitude towards "mature audiences." Simply put, they decided to tell their customers what they
can and can't spend their money on.
Now, I disagree with this in principal. Its PayPal's place to facilitate economic transactions, not to tell people what to do with their transactions. This is
especially unfortunate, since con artists frequently can use PayPal to rip people off, but heaven forbid someone buy a dildo or a picture of a naked woman.
However, PayPal made this policy perfectly clear to me when they terminated my account last September, and froze my funds for several months.
It's too bad, becuase it was convienent for me and convienent for my customers.
If I had to guess it's probably because they're bastard coated bastards with a bastard filling. However if you do accept it and I

In your gothic heather 2 video, you kept mentioning about second foundation. Are we talking about Isaac
Asimov's second foundation with the mission to take down the mule cause he can control people's minds and emotions? And also, has anyone gotten it in the past
yet?
I do parties, and conventions, and show tours from time to time. It's still pretty spur of the moment,
however, as I've started to devote more energy to the live stuff, I've been finding that my calendar has started to fill up.
At this time, I'm scheduled to perform in Brighton, UK for the entire second week of September.
I'm also making appearances at the following conventions, but not necessarily in an official capacity:
Hope Number Six (July 21-23 New York, NY USA)
Dragon*Con (September 3-6 Atlanta, GA USA)
Chaos Communications Congress (December 27-30 Berlin, Germany)
If you have any connections in any cities or events that I'm travelling to in the "not necessarily in an official capacity" category, please let me know, as I like
to do hypnosis wherever I go.

So, while the humanitarian in me felt pretty good about last night's shoot, the pornographer in me was less than thrilled...
Hmm...hypnosis + bondage. It'll be interesting to see how you combine the two. Not something I've seen explored a lot. I'll be surprised, though, if you can
make me like it more than the plain ol' mental domination you've exerted in your best moments--
CARLA-- Aaron: "Your conscious mind will keep repeating its phrase...and your subconscious will do as it's told. Do you understand?" Carla: [nods]
LILLY-- Aaron: "Now in a single word, tell me how you feel." Lilly: [silence] Aaron: "Speak now." Lilly: "..obedient.."
BETH & DEBBIE-- Aaron: "I am submissive." B&D: "I am submissive." Aaron: "I am horny." B&D: "I am horny." . . . .
NURSE BETTY-- The swinging stethoscope induction.
GOTHIC HEATHER 2-- Aaron: "Feel the crystal pulling allll the dominance out of you..."
�ALLISON 3-- The good stuff is sprinkled all over.
CLOVER 2-- What can I say...I think hypnotizing a chick to striptease is a powerful demonstration of dominance. And it helps when she's really, really hot.
(Actually, whatever happened to "Clover on the Cross"? Now that was some classic D/S.)
I guess I took that little stroll down memory lane to make two points (aside from the fact that it's fun to remember it). One--hypnotic D/S is about the simple
power of the mind. I hope you don't go overboard on the bondage equipment. Not that I think you will...I'm guessing you used those photos because bondage
equipment makes for a dynamic photo that's an obvious symbol of D/S. Anyway, in the end, what makes hypnosis so sexy and fascinating for me is that instead of
physically forcing the subject to obey, you take the much trickier yet ultimately more satisfying route of inducing them to want to obey. So much the better if
that's seemingly the opposite of what they originally intended (like Carla).
And the second thing is...Aaron, if I sounded cranky, it's because I look at those aforementioned fantastic moments and say, "by GOD, he knows how to do hypnotic
D/S." Granted you don't have many competitors out there, but I do think you're the best (hypnovideo guy, whose name shall not be spoken, has an excellent style,
but he's not as creative as you). So take it as a sort of compliment that I've been a bit disappointed of late. Nothing in a while to match those great moments
(well...Violet comes pretty close...my problem with those sets, as I've said before, is that they felt too intimate...can't have good D/S unless there's a certain
distance between dom and sub, at least initially). Relaxation inductions...eh, too consensual. ;) Overloading women with orgasms? Eh, I can see that at
hypnogirls. So I've been waiting around for you to say to yourself "I think I'll do some good D/S for this set," because I figured that whatever came next would be
GREAT. I'm sure hypnoslave will be, and it'd be awesome if we saw a little more on hypnosisfetish in the meantime.
I was going to go ahead and embed that puppy on my blog with a link back to your site as it shows your work without the naked boobies that I can't show on my public
sites. But . . . bust tried to play the video and got a "this video is no longer available" spit back.
Did you take it down . . . or . . . am I correct in assuming that the good folks at youtube have deleted it because it was flagged? I recently had yet another video
flagged and removed. Since the accompanying email also said that if I had anothe flagged as "obscene" my account would be terminated.
No, I did not take it down. After an exciting and succesful weekend with 5,500 views over 4 days, they took it down and sent me a message that said it violated the
user agreement. However, I checked the user agreement, and there was nothing in it that the video could have violated. So I sent them an e-mail asking why they
took it down. They never bothered replying.
I guess YouTube is too busy hosting bits and pieces of other people's copyrighted works to give me the time of day, even though they give tons of free bandwidth
away to people trying to compete with me.
Needless to say, they are no longer on my list of people that I feel warm fuzzies for.
No nudity. No sexy outifts. No obscene language. Just hypnosis with women experiencing fully clothed no-touch orgasms. I noticed that the "male orgasm" video was
never flagged, just the ones with women experiencing orgasms. Evidently, guys having hypnotic orgasms are comedic while women experiencing the same are
offensive.
I've seen much more "offensive" things on youtube. It never ceases to amaze me that idiots hitting each other on the head with shovels or random violence is
considered generally acceptable material but give a person an orgasm with or without nudity.
I deliberately went out of my way to make something that would be suitable for YouTube, or any other audience. Your evaluation of what the clip was and wasn't is
one hundred percent on the mark. As for the violence versus pleasure social commentary, I agree with you completely. I can watch a bloody torture scene on the
televeision show 24 during prime time in a room full of children, but heaven forbid I demonstrate the pleasure that half the worlds population of 3 billion females
are capable of feeling.
Whatever... I'm used to fighting this fight. It's something I've committed myself to doing, and it's something I'll keep doing.
I have taken all the "adult" or "almost adult" material I had up on youtube down.
For the most part, I started using google video for uploads anyway as they allow longer files and much higher resolution and file sizes.
I'll keep working on figuring out what I can get on the stie, YouTube, while run by assholes, represent a significant source of traffic, and as long as I can get
people's attention, they can come to my side of the net to see the whole thing.
I'm curious about Google Video, and will probably upload the same clip there to see how long it takes before the call it "offensive."

http://www.BrianDavidPhillips.com
You can view a list of all the files on that website here.
It's been several months of effort, and I can't tell you how happy I am that it's complete. Also, now that all the clips are standardized, and I've been able to
bring it all under a consistent system on the backend, I can now get back to work at programming the website again to do auto updates, to prevent the delays that
manually updating the website can cause.
It's been a long road, but the best is yet to come!
(Similar upgrades to HypnoGames.com are about 2/3rds complete, and should be done
in about a month or so.)
Roughly half of the website has been converted to Standard Definition, in both QuickTime and Windows Media Player formats.
Now that I've been able to share the load over two machines, I should have the conversion to Standard Defintion on HypnosisFetish.com finished within a few days (essentially the length of time it
will take to upload the files).
I've been working on this project for several months now, and it has been a huge part of my life this summer. I can't tell you how excited I am to see it start to
come together...
For a listing of all the clips on HypnoGames.com check out this link. I can't even begin to tell you what a difference Standard Definition
is compared to tiny little 175kb streams from the oldest days...
I've been pretty impressed by the response of the file I posted on YouTube.
The clip has received the following honors:
#78 - Most Linked (Today) - Entertainment
#65 - Most Viewed (Today) - Entertainment
#80 - Top Favorites (Today)
#32 - Top Favorites (Today) - Entertainment
It's been viewed about 2 and a half thousand times less than two days since it went up.
I've gotten some pretty cool e-mail and feedback. There's also been a few morons, but I just delete them. If you liked it, definitely go and leave some positive
comments on the video!
I will probably make it a point to put something up on that website perhaps once every week or two.
Aaron, very glad to hear the news about Hypnoslave coming up soon! And I definitely appreciate the fact that you've been taking it slow so that you make sure
everything falls into place and you can deliver a quality product when the time comes.
Thank you... Yes, it's been a long road, however, soon it should be up and running, and I'm hoping to make it more interactive than my other sites. I'm not sure
exactly the shape of that, but it's starting to come together.
With my other sites, HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish, this is my story, as I learned about the world that I was finally embracing publicly with HypnoGames, and the
optimistic exploration of what could be possible with HypnosisFetish. HypnoSlave, in my mind is more about empire building, and a big part of that are the slaves
themselves, and the special type of community building that I'll be doing for this project.
Ultimately time will tell...
Do you have any material with Gothic Heather (as on the teaser pics on the website) for Hypnoslave? I noticed her name was not mentioned in the list you gave, but
she obviously posed for the teaser pics you already have up. So if there hasn't already been a shoot, just out of curiosity, where did those pics come from? And if
there hasn't been a shoot with her, do you think that might be a possibility? She just looks so great in those pics that I've got my heart set on seeing her on the
site!
Unfortunately, at this time I have every reason to believe that I will not have the opportunity to work with Gothic Heather again. I'd like to work with her again
as much as the rest of you would like to see it, however I don't think that is going to be possible. That's all the detail that I plan on going in to at this
time.
The images were from prior sessions. HypnoSlave will probably not include Gothic Heather in any capacity when it goes live.

I've decided to experiment with placing a few videos on YouTube.
This video was specifically filmed for that purpose, featurig Brittany. There's no nudity in this clip, but it is possibly NSFW due to orgasms and language.
This is a good example of how to take a relatively normal and standard technique, and turn in in to an erotic technique, just by adding orgasms. :-)
From the description:
There is a technique called progressive relaxation that is frequently used during a hypnotic induction. I've added an erotic aspect to it by replacing the command
to relax the tensed muscle groups with the command to orgasm instead. Possibly NSFW due to orgasms and language. No nudity. This is an example of the work you can
find on HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com. For more information on Erotic Hypnosis, visit the erotic hypnosis news and community site at HypnoFocus.com
Hm... Wasn't thinking about it this year, but if there is anything really big going on I could change my mind. Last time I went was becuase I really wanted to see
the stuff dealing with the movie Serenity. Haven't heard much buzz about this year?
Be cool to meet ya in the least.
I was planning on generating more buzz within the community this year for Dragon*Con, however, I was pretty worn out from the road trip that I did for 1,000
Orgasms, and then the End of the Winter Spell Stage Hypnosis Tour of Northern Ontario, and then a summer underneath the hood of my car in the Phoenix heat, and then
chaining and shackling myself to my desk to do the video upgrade to standard definition and the various server upgrades and ehancements, and then peddling HaXXXor
at Hope Number Six in New York, and then a loose ends tying up visit to Canada, etc...
Ultimately, I didn't know if I was going or not, and with a nearly 2,000 dollar price tag to drive out there and rent a room for the weekend, I did throw in the
towel. However, a friend running a party room offered me crash space for 60 bucks for the weekend, and I found a 300 dollar plane ticket to Atlanta, and that made
it possible. In retrospect, I am questioning the wisdom of choosing to stay in a party room where the primary ingredient of the unending supply of alcohol is
Everclear.
Having said all that, it would be cool to meet up with as many of the visitors to my websites as would be possible at next year's Dragon*Con or any other
convention. I'll be looking to do more panels this coming year, and organize more shows, both based of my experiences doing such things over the past two years,
and we shall see what comes of it.
So wait...am I to understand that Hypnoslave will actually be up and running SOON? Sorry to sound impatient, it's just that I've been super excited about this site
for a long time, ever since I first heard about it! It can't come fast enough!
Yes, you are correct.
The new webserver was delivered to the hosting colocation facility while I was at Dragon*Con, and should be installed in to the rack today. That means that
HypnoGames.com should be moving IP addresses sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (as long as I configured the network properly before I shipped it out... here's hoping
for a "yes-work" and not a "nyet-work"). So if anyone hardcoded the DNS entry in to you hosts file when Joker had the DDOS earlier this year, be aware of that.
Once I've got the new server running, that will clear up space to upload the content for HypnoSlave.com. Over the years, I've filmed material that was always intended for
this project, little by little, including a session from back in Montreal filmed in a full BDSM dungeon. (That session features Sarah, the one from Playing Doctor
With Sarah). Additionally, we have a partial BDSM dungeon set in Phoenix, and have a session with Stephanie that contains a bit of BDSM content. On top of that I
have Brittany and Nails scheduled to do a straight BDSM hypno session later this week. (Naturally a shoot isn't a done deal until after it's over).
I'll also be pulling bits and pieces of BDSM related material from the other websites over, most likely all the hypnospanking and anything where they are calling me
master.
The website will also feature a member's only message board. Shortly after it's launch, I will probably be doing some sort of community building, establishing
contact with various BDSM communities for that message board.
There are a few other bits and pieces, but that's the long and the short of it. A lot of people have been chomping at the bit, and I've heard you all. I just
wanted to make sure I had my existing projects in a good place, and a decent amount of material for the new project before launching it.
Well by the time you see this Dragon Con will have been well over. I hope your visit to Atlanta is better than your last.
Yes, it was a wild party and a good time. That doesn't mean it was all peaches and cream, but it definitely was much more fun than the last time I was in
Atlanta.
Many of the features of the upgrade include, a much slicker layout, automatic approval of posts for HypnoFocus.com members who have has past approved posts, and RSS syndication, just to name a few.
If you have any ideas for the future of HypnoFocus.com, now's a good time to let me know!

Hm... Wasn't thinking about it this year, but if there is anything really big going on I could change my mind.
Last time I went was becuase I really wanted to see the stuff dealing with the movie Serenity. Haven't heard much buzz about this year?
Aaron, is there any chance that you could set up a RSS link for hypnofocus? It would be easier to keep track of
the posts that way ;-)
I agree. I spent some time learning how to do the RSS stuff a while back, and probably still have a little bit of code around here somewhere. I'll make that my
next programming project. Whiel I'm at it, I'll probably program some sort of e-mail new post functionality as well.

Congratulations on completing the data storage and swap, and the Nails and Brittany set looks pretty good. With that done and you focusing on hypnogames next, it
leaves me wondering if hypnoslave is going to be shelved for a while longer?
Thank you... It's been a whole lot of work, but anyone who has only seen one of my sets available in Windows Media 175kbit is going to see the difference when they
see the set again in Standard Definition.
I'm glad you liked Nails and Brittany, they're a lot of fun to work with. Hopefully I'll have them back in the studio again shortly.
While HypnosisFetish and HypnoGames remain my top focus and priority, HypnosisFetish is in the final stages of the conversion and the upgrade. Once
HypnoGames.com is switched over to the new web server (with luck it's being
shipped out to the colocation facility today), then I'll be able to clear space on the old webserver, and finish the conversion. I'm also sitting on a backlog of
material and have may more shoots scheduled and budgeted, so HypnosisFetish.com is in really good shape.
The good news about the process that I'm doing on HypnoGames.com that mirrors the
process that I did with HypnosisFetish.com is that I'm almost done converting and archiving everythng that I still have source edits of. The bad news is that I
only have source edits for about half the material, as I was originally using very different technology back in the day, and it wasn't possible to keep uncompressed
source material. Since I'm going to have to be doing a lot of re-editing from the original tapes, it's going to be a much longer and drawn out process, and not
something that is efficient in a work flow manner to sit down and devote my full attention to the task and crank out in the way that I could do with the HypnosisFetish.com conversion.
So, back to the question at hand. No, I don't see any continued delays on HypnoSlave. I believe that I'm sitting on enough material right now to launch it,
and I believe that I'll have enough time and opportunity to develop it. Once the new webservers are in place, I'll also have the space for it as well.
Either way, glad to see you're running full blast.
Oh, trying to close in the next 10 days. ;) Unfortunately no pics online. Ironically, webserver space issues since I left my provider a few months ago. However
that's something I'm willing to live with to get away from cable.
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing your pictures, and congrats on the progress you've been making as well!

Today marked the end of one of my projects that I've been working on all sumer.
Every video file on HypnosisFetish.com has been accounted for, archived in
it's original source in a big strong long term storage box, and re-rendered in to standard definition resolution. It's taken a large part of the summer to do this,
necessitating two heavy storage binders, over 250 blank DVDs and dedicated CPU time measured in weeks.
Unfortunately, it will still be a little while until this material gets uploaded to the web server, as the server full almost to capacity, and will remain that way
until I get the new webserver installed.
This is the reason why I spent half of today putting the final configurations in to the new webserver. It will be shipped out to the server colocation facility
tomorrow and should be up by the end of the week. Then I can finish the conversion of all the files on HypnosisFetish.com.
While I'm very happy about this, at the same time, I'm not finished, as I'll have to continue doing more of the same for several more weeks yet for HypnoGames.com... ah... my work never seems to end...
8.24.06: I'm really happy with the newest set, Brittany and Nails.Both of them are wonderful trance
subjects, and they have a really good chemistry together. You can look forward to seeing more of them, both individually and together. If you have any suggestions
for hypnotic commands or suggestions that you'd like to see them carry out, be sure to e-mail me.
8.24.06: I'm pleased to announce that the conversion to Standard Definition for all video clips on HypnosisFetish.com is nearly complete. I can't tell you
how excited I am to announce this. I've literally spent most of the summer working on this project, and can measure the computer time spent to render these clips
in weeks. Although only half are available at this time due the the disk space issue that I'm still having on the server, I expect to get most, if not all of them
online when I install my second webserver and move HypnoGames to it's own machine. The server is already purchased, and about 90 percent installed. I just have to
finish the last 10 percent, and then ship it off to the colocation facility. This should probably take a week or two. After I finish rendering 3 more sets the
project will be complete!
8.24.06: Now that we are current, with the addition of the Brittany and Nails set, you can expect more great erotic hypnosis all throughout the fall and
winter months. I've got several more sets already filmed and in post production right now, and a schedule and a budget for roughly 20 more models to be completed
over the next 6 weeks. I want to thanks everyone for their patience over the lean times, and I
invite you to enjoy the show!
Hey, I was wondering if you had any advice for those of us that have the attention spans of a
caffinated/sugered up five year old. I've been busy more than usual lately and accomplishing absolutely nothing. Are there methods to help with focus?
Also glad to see the remergence of the Allison sets. By far one of my favorites.
I've upgraded the Allison 1 set to standard definition. In this
set we meet for the first time one of the most hypnotized girls of HypnoGames.com.
Additionally, I've added the previously unseen, Alicia 2 set
to HypnosisFetish.com. This is a classic set with the goth girl from Goth
and Punk. It's migrating to HypnoGames.com soon, but since it's unaired, it's
being shown on HypnosisFetish.com first.
This is one of the defining videos of my early work. To this day, when someone asks me to tell them about something memorable, I usually think of Kathy taking a
bite out of my jacket as a billy goat, or saying some funny things as the "orgasm parrot."
Until now, these videos were only available as the blurry small resolution QuickTime and Windows Media 175kbps. Those days are over, as now you can see her in
Standard Definition (720x480 resolution) in both QuickTime and Windows Media formats.
I've limited the maximum number of concurent downloads from the members area of HypnosisFetish.com and
HypnoGames.com to 4 (not inlcuding img files). This shouldn't affect the average user, and should only affect those using site ripping programs. A lot of the
server strain was coming from people who just ripped the entire site as fast as they could, without thought to the affect it would have on the server or the other
members. Frequently people would pull down several clips at a time in both formats.
Not only did it slow things down, but it also tied up all the processes, so that other programs on the server started choking and dieing as well.
Update on the upgrade to Standard Definition Video Clips / General Update:
The upgrade is going well, and I'm pleased to announce that over half the website (HypnosisFetish.com) has been converted (20 out of 38 sets). However, there have
been a number of issues associated with the upgrade.
First, there are currently no restrictions on how many downloads a member can make at a time. It's always been my policy not to hinder your enjoyment of
HypnosisFetish.com. However, for those of you who are making copies of the entire site, please voluntarily limit your concurrent downloads to just 2 at a time, and
also please decide on either quicktime or windows media format. There's no reason why anyone should be pulling down 12 clips simeltaneously in both formats. This
places an excessive burdon on the server, and slows it down for everyone and causes all sorts of weird errors.
Second, the file sizes of the standard definition format files are about ten times as large as the older lower resolution files. As such, what was once more than
ample disk space is now insufficient. This has resulted in upload delays of new sets, and delays in finishing the conversion. At this time there's about 7 more sets
that are already upgraded that haven't been uploaded yet due to space constraints.
I have plans to provide relief to both of these issues in the form of a second server in my co-location rack. This will allow me to put HypnoGames and
HypnosisFetish on separate machines again, increasing total disk space available and lessening the server loads per machine. However it's going to be another 30 to
45 days before I can do this, so please bear with me in the meantime. I am currently exploring other temporary options, but it's going to take time for me to
evaluate and/or implement them.
Also, there have been an increase of password hacking attempts, including but not limited to, a full dictionary brute force attack. This consumed considerable
resources on the already taxed servers. I'm persuing solutions to provide a better defense from people who think it's okay to waste resources looking for a needle
in a haystack with little chance of success.
I have a lot of new footage filmed, and will be doing an update as soon as possible. However, that material is on the other side of the continent, and I'm 2-14 days
away from being with it again. I'm going to try to find some more previously unaired material to update the website with in the meantime, please be patient, I'm
currently juggling a lot of things at the moment.
Finally, there have been some strange issues with the program that I use to add new members from CCbill signups. This may result in delays as some accounts will now
have to be created by hand until this problem is resolved.
For all of the year 2006 I had an e-mail backlog that ranged from 300 to 500 pieces of mail that all required
thought and/or action on my part. As of this morning it was something on the order of about 300 to 400. Today I bit the bullet and sat down and dealt with
everything that needed to be dealt with, and extracted and archived anything that was ancient history. In the course of doing this, I authored 53 e-mails.
I know, it's pretty blase stuff. However, e-mail is more than just a convenience for me, it's one of the primary channels that I work through. Althought with all
the spam and garbage, it's significantly less useful than it was just a few years ago. On an average day I get about 250 e-mails, 30 or so automated, 10 to 20
useful, and the rest is spam and virii.
What this means is that a lot of you have received replies to e-mails that you've sent to me. If you're waiting on me and have not received a reply, that means
that I didn't get your message, or it got lost somehow.
Also, the Lisa set should be online in it's entirety to HypnosisFetish.com
within 48 hours.
Looks like part of the reason why my server load was so heavy was because some asshole was trying to brute
force hack his way in to the system, something that yielded no success, but effectively DOSed my machine. Fortunately for me, unfortunately for him, he was stupid
enough to do it from a single IP address, which indicates it was probably someone doing it from their DSL line.
Some of you may have noticed a decrease in performance on some of my websites lately, slow loading, weird
errors, etc.
After much hairpulling and troubleshooting, it appears that there was a maximum processes per limit set by default by the vendor of the operating system that my
server runs on.
In a harrowing moment of truth, I issued a sysctl command and altered the state of the kernal. The improvement was noticible and immediate.
Sorry for the performance issues, they should be resolved. Mostly it has to do with the larger file sizes of the Standard Definition format files...
(Please people, if you're going to do a mass download, at least pick whether you want windows media or quicktime, no need to murder my webserver *g*)
In your gothic heather 2 video, you kept mentioning about second foundation. Are we talking about Isaac Asimov's second foundation with the mission
to take down the mule cause he can control people's minds and emotions? And also, has anyone gotten it in the past yet?
The new hypnosisfetish sets are pretty good, but I don't see any D/S, much to my disappointment...and no word on hypnoslave. What's up? The absence of D/S is a real
downer for me. (But kudos for your work.)
That's all I can say right now, because I'm busy filming, and editing, and rendering, and all around busting my hump. People get kind of excited when I say what
I'm planning, and then if they're any delay they get disappointed, so I'm going to have to keep my lips tight on this one...
"If I may ask, what were the sets that had to be taken down?
You most certainly may...
Jade (should really be on HypnoGames.com due to the fact that I classify that as my early work, and everything else shot
during that time period appears on that site).
Lacey (was an alright enough session, with a cute enough girl, but I had to make a decision, and she was low on the totem pole).
Nadine (also was an interesting enough session, and probably the largest boobies on the website, but didn't make the cut).
All three of the above will most likely be coming back once I get more server space.
Trish (was never particularly happy with the session, shortly in to it we bumped up against some pretty serious issues in her life, and I didn't feel comfortable
continuing... The only reason I aired her was because I leaked some still images from the session [It was one of several done during a specific period of of time]
and everyone's curiosity was insatiable).
This one probably will stay offline for the time being, until there's a reason for me to bring it back.
"but I've been juggling disk space issues on the server, and ultimately had to take down a couple of older sets
to keep the new sets going up, and to also upgrade some of the more popular sets to Standard Definition"
If I may ask, what were the sets that had to be taken down?
The new hypnosisfetish sets are pretty good, but I don't see any D/S, much to my disappointment...and no word on hypnoslave. What's up? The absence of D/S is a
real downer for me. (But kudos for your work.)
Here is another update on the world of HypnosisFetish.com... The new
set, Nails is up and partially aired. I meant to have it up sooner, but I've been juggling disk space issues
on the server, and ultimately had to take down a couple of older sets to keep the new sets going up, and to also upgrade some of the more popular sets to Standard
Definition. Speaking of which, Gothic Heather 2 is now in Standard Definition.
At this time ther are three sets after Nails in post production. One features a familiar face, one features two of the recent girls in a twosome, and one is a new
model. I'm still in a heavy production period, with more shoots taking place, and with a little luck a threesome or a foursome coming up. I haven't done the full
math, but it looks like we're good for daily updates through September as things stand right now, and the conversion of of HypnosisFetish.com to fully Standard
Definition is coming along smoothly (If only disk space weren't an issue! Hopefully I'll have that issue solved in a month or so.)
Also, I'm putting the final touches on The Best of HypnosisFetish Volume 1 DVD. More details on that will be coming shortly. I want to try and get this done as a
professionally replicated DVD, however funds are extremely tight right now, so what will probably end up happeneing is that I will post the chapter list of the DVD,
as well as the features list, and start taking orders. If I reach a certain amount of orders by a certain date, then the orders will be fulfilled as Replicated
DVDs. Otherwsie I'll probably include a voucher for a free upgrade (you pay s+H) to the replicated DVDs when they come out, and the video will be shipped as a
burned DVD. Let me know if any of you have any thoughts on that matter.
There is a vaccine that will prevent certain STD. It must be administered before a child becomes sexually active. However, to quote the article:
"The newly approved human papillomavirus vaccine protects against the most common strains of the virus that causes genital warts and cervical cancer. But only if it
is given before a young woman becomes sexually active."
"But some parents are uncomfortable with the idea of immunizing preteens against a sexually transmitted disease. It's a policy decision, they say, that should be
made by parents, not federal health officials."
Now, I'm not a big fan of the government dictating terms. However, one job of government is to wipe out the spread of disease when possible. Who doesn't think
that Polio should be eradicated?
Diseases don't respond to "policy" or "political realities." Does anyone remember when AIDS was called GRID? How far did HIV spread and kill people because government and private individuals were too
busy thinking it was a "gay" problem and not a health problem?
The bottom line is that we have a tool to prevent another disease, and people are balking over it's use because of an immature attitude towards sex.
(Sure the article discussed that many people and organizations weren't resisting the vaccine, but did you notice the way they burried it deeper in the article? Very
slanted jornalism...)
My girlfriend and I are looking to spend a weekend (The weekend of July 7th) in New York City. We're interested
in hypnosis of all sorts, especially erotic, and were wondering if there were any shows available in the area that weekend?
Please email me at Slings at SlingsDojo dot com if you know of any or have any recommendations! Thanks :o)
I've got Hello Kitty shoelaces on my Chuck Taylors, and an arm full of candy.
Time to climb in to the van that Brandon rented, and it's off to Disneyland with seven Ravers.
HypnosisFetish.com is updated until Tuesday and I've just programmed my G5 to render 1/4th of HypnosisFetish.com in to Standard Definition, the largest batch of
video rendering I've ever done!
I'm leaving the laptop behind, this is all going to be about having a good time.
I'll check back in with you all on Monday, have an awesome weekend!
When I'm not doing erotic hypnosis or travelling the world, I enjoy playing World of Warcraft. You can find me
on the Dragonmaw Server under the character name of Vonnegut. I'm pretty excited because I've just reached level 57 (60 is the maximum before the expansion comes
out).
If anyone is interested playing WoW, send an e-mail to me at aaron@hypnofocus.com with your e-mail address, and
I can give you a free 30 day account through the Blizzard refer-a-friend program.
In the first week back in production, I did five sessions for my website with 4 different girls (one session
was a twosome). I generated about 6 hours worth fo video and caught up my website and created a backlog of daily updates that should take it through to the
beginning of August.
This week was a slow week because I had to pay off some bills that I had been neglecting. It was urgent, to say the least. However, I'm still looking at a shoot
or two this week.
Next week sees the first paycheck at the current restored rate, which means that there will be ample money for a full week of shoots. With a little luck by the end
of next week I'll have enough footage for daily updates for the rest of the year.
The week after should see enough sessions filmed to start thinking in to 2007.
...
At any rate, here's the last set of pictures (NSFW) from the first week's batch of shoots. This session
was a twosome, featuring two responsive women where were also in to other girls. Out of these pictures, this one (NSFW), is my favorite.
Here (NSFW) are more pictures from the first shoot
of the batch that I did a week ago.
Out of this batch, this one (worksafe) is my favorite.
However, I wish with all of my heart that my suit jacket would have been ready by then. After spending a month balled up in my trunk it absolutely had to be
drycleaned before I could use it again. Then, also, I had forgotten to put in my contacts. Argggg.
I'm still in production right now, with a lot of shoots going on, as well as a whole lot of reprocessing of the older clips in to standard definition format.
Thank you for bearing with me, things have been hectic lately, but I'm got somewhere stable to get some work done for the next month.
Wherefore art thou? How did your Canadian erotic hypnosis shows go? Can't wait to hear about 'em!
Best regards,
Hypnofetishist

Hi guys, sorry to keep you hanging, I sometimes forget that not everyone reads my Live Journal (and a good thing too, a lot of it is self indulgent

The tour was good. Some shows were nightmares, but other shows were awesome. I took the good with the bad.
After the tour was over, and I made the long drive back to Phoenix, I was pretty exhausted, but I still had about half a billion things to take care of -- all of
them urgent.
Thanks to the generosity of a friend, I've got my office and my studio set back up and things are coming back together, with two shoots done and edited and HypnosisFetish.com back on track. Now that I'm getting things back down to a dull roar, let me present my tour logs,
unedited from their original entries, except for a few minor spelling and grammar corrections.

In message 1024, I posted about
participating in the Frolicon convention coming up this weekend in Atlanta.
I'm withdrawing my support from that convention. Among other problems, there was outside interference in some of the events that I was going to participate in.
Also, I'm currently devoting all of my energy to preparing for my stage hypnosis tour of Northern Ontario that starts next week.
My good friend David Fonteneau will be doing his stage hypnosis show at the convention. It's a good show.
Hi. I'm wondering if anyone here has XM radio and have noticed the slew of commercials that have a hypnotist that I will leave unnamed in here pushing things that
are just plain impossible.
No I listen to Sirius. I wasn't aware that there was a hypnotist advertising on XM.
I've heard them before but the latest has me nervous. I'm on the road about 5-6 hours a day. Now she is pushing the idea that she can hypnotize truckers to feel
perfectly refreshed with only five minutes of sleep. Okay I get a out kick out of hypnotist that say they can get you to stop smoking & drinking, diet, train people
for ultra orgasms (laughable), and etc. but seriously there's a line to be drawn. If you want to believe it, fine. If you can actually have any of that actually
affect you, even better. But when you promote something that puts me and anyone else that has the joy of being stuck in gridelock with folks operating 10+ ton
battering rams you've definitly stepped over a line that should have people pushing you back over.
Interesting... I wonder if there have been any scientific studdies to evaluate the effects of suggestion / or the hypnotic process as it relates to sleep
deprivation and driving a motor vehichle and driver's fatigue.
It is my understanding that much of what we do when we drive a vehcile (after we've learned to drive) is subconscious.
You don't have to watch Penn & Teller's Bullshit! to know there are limitations to hypnosis, and more or less most of the stuff that's gets attention as possible is
pure bunk. I really hope I'm not the only one that can see that. I mean if you REALLY WANT TO stop smoking and you need a nudge, hey it can work. But if you're a 4
pack a day-er with no selfcontrol at all, you can be sure a guy with big eye brows and a gold watch (hey bad generalization but I'm on a rant here) isn't going to
do more than a warning label that says "YOU WILL DIE IF YOU SMOKE THIS" can do. So telling the guy hauling several 18 wheelers, "it's fine to overlook fatigue cause
with the snap of my fingers you'll feel just fine," REALLY doesn't sit well with me.
If hypnosis doesn't affect one's ability, but only one's judgement of their ability, then it would be akin to driving intoxicated off of alcohol. This should be
studdied, because if this hypnotic technique is being used in such a way as to decrease highway safety, then some federal regulating body might step in to regulate
hypnosis, which would be bad.
I know this is a bit off topic but I can't think of anything that should be thought over by a forum for hypnosis than this. Seeing I've been run off the road
repeatedly by truckers, to say the least this is my pet-peeve. Anyway, I'd hate my obit to read "This man died because a trucker that's been on the road for 20
hours hauling a shipment of Gamecube network adapters & Chia pets was actually too tired (even though his hypnotist said he should be fine) to pay attention to the
road.
I don't think this is off topic at all. Since it's my messageboard, you're in safe waters...
Aaron sorry to hear about the difficulties with the 1k project. With any luck it can be just considered as "on hiatus." We all have had something that has to wait
till times were better. You seem to be upbeat about it from what you wrote, so I'm going to hope this is something you have already moved beyond smoothly.
I'm not going to consider it on hiatus, just because that leaves it sort of in a "primed" state in my mind. The project is definitely cancelled. However, I do
plan on re-evaluating it's feasability in a year or two. I suspect my definition and your definition are just two sides of the same coin.
I decided to wait for a while before making my final evalutation and posting it to make sure that it was what I wanted to do. It was a project that was way too
stressful, and demanding of time and economic resources that could be much better applied to my other projects.
It was very emotional for me while I was at that half way point between should I throw in the towel, or shoulding I. I expected it to be much easier than, say,
asking people to volunteer for HypnosisFetish.com, however I found the opposite to be true, which is something that I plan
on understanding further in my explorations. However, I've come to terms with my feelings on the project, and have moved on. I have lots of ideas, but that
doesn't mean that they are all things I want to go "all in" on.

I know this is a bit off topic but I can't think of anything that should be thought over by a forum for hypnosis than this. Seeing I've been run off the road
repeatedly by truckers, to say the least this is my pet-peeve. Anyway, I'd hate my obit to read "This man died because a trucker that's been on the road for 20
hours hauling a shipment of Gamecube network adapters & Chia pets was actually too tired (even though his hypnotist said he should be fine) to pay attention to the
road.
end rant-
Aaron sorry to hear about the difficulties with the 1k project. With any luck it can be just considered as "on hiatus." We all have had something that has to
wait till times were better. You seem to be upbeat about it from what you wrote, so I'm going to hope this is something you have already moved beyond smoothly.
The resolution of my Thousand Orgasms project...
After two months, I've decided to discontinue the Thosand Orgasms project. I wasn't happy with the progress that I was making, and various logistical issues proved
to be difficult to overcome. Ultimately, the amount of effort that went in to pursuing volunteers actually exceeded the amount of effort that goes in to pursuing
volunteers for my other projects, and as such, I've decided that my time would be much better spent in that way.
Section 1. iWeb
iWeb was an exciting new addition to iLife, a software suite produced by Apple Computers. I saw the video of Steve Jobs demonstrating it when it was announced, and
was all sorts of excited. I went out and bought a copy as soon as I got together the money.
The software was everything that I expected. It allowed me to create a sharp looking website in almost no time flat. I was very impressed with it.
However, it was way too top heavy. The software performed alright on my iMac G5, but didn't perform very well on my Titanium Powerbook G4. Also, iWeb doesn't use
any intelligence when it renders new files, which means it goes through and renders everything all over again. Now if that were bad enough, it also forces you to
re-render all other websites as well, and if the websites have a different base URL (which they should being different websites and all) then it will introduce
errors in to the other websites as they will have the wrong url at this point).
Fortunately I had written an rsync script, so I only had to transfer what had changed to the webserver.
Regardless, this made the software way too clunky and time consuming. Sure, it's nice to have integrated blogging features with pretty graphics, but what good is it
if you have to devote half an hour to every update? As such It was much better to continue using LiveJournal for my day to day blogging.
The conclusion is that it's a good tool for designing quick small flashy websites, or to encourage new people to make their own web presence. However, it's too top
heavy and not designed for a serious workload. It has potential in the form of using it to make a web page design, then modifying the HTML by hand to construct a
template. Also, I think it's important to say that I think it's a cool program, and and am confident that Apple with improve it over time, addressing much of these
issues in later releases.
Section 2. Travel
This project was notable in the sense that it expanded my range, as a solo driver, to everything north of Mexico on North America. My current range is North America
and Western Europe by Air, however by car it was only the south west United States. While it is true that I've crossed the country by land on multiple occasions,
I've never done it alone. Now I have, so I feel confident about my ability to do so, and what distances I can reasonably travel on my own. I've also driven in some
major metropolitan areas, including Montreal, which up to this point seemed formidable. This will most likely lead to me considering driving in other countries, and
also considering larger vehicles.
The trip also served as an excellent opportunity for me to get some maintenance and parts replacement done on my vehicle. A couple of mechanical failures were found
and corrected, as well as operational failures by the driver. I learned a lot about my vehicle, and have much more confidence in it.
Section 3. Economics
I was never in a situation where I desperately needed something and couldn't have it. Shelter was always possible. I didn't starve to death. I was able to acquire a
few pieces of new equipment here and there. That's not to say that I didn't coast in to town on fumes a few times, or camp out in my car a couple of times.
Ultimately, however, I didn't have a sufficient bankroll to accomplish the goals for the project. Everything was always stretched to the maximum, and this created a
lot of stress for me that aggravated the existing difficulties of the project.
Section 4. Damage Control
For numerous reasons that are beyond the scope of this document, it was necessary for me to be outside of Phoenix for a time. This project gave me the opportunity
to do so, and a purpose while doing so.
Section 5. Ethics
I believe that the project is ethical, as well as what I do is ethical. However, a number of people don't feel comfortable on camera, although they feel comfortable
with the experience. I don't think it's ethical to pressure anyone to be on camera, just because I have a project that I want to complete. I incorrectly evaluated
my current infrastructure as being robust enough to support the project, under the assumption that the limiting factor to widespread participation was the nudity
aspect of the project. That may be a significantly limiting factor, but I no longer believe it is the only one. I also believe that the erotic aspects are a
limiting factor. I still believe it's feasible, however certain assumptions will need to be re-evaluated.
Conclusion.
The project was a good idea, and a valuable learning experience. However, my traditional models are a much better vehicle for me to attain my goals at this time. I
should re-evaluate the feasibility of this project again in a year or two.
My promoter who handles the Canadian bookings for my stage show has sent me what appears to be the final
version of my tour through Northern Ontario, Canada.

Aaron Glotfelter, International Erotic Hypnotist:
As featured in Bizarre Magazine, S&M Sniper Magazine, and the book Le Sexe Bizarre, as well as the websites HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com
Appearing in the KCC's Erotica Nights Presents... 'End of The Winter Spell' an evening of Erotic Hypnosis with ...Aaron Glotfelter.. Enchanting the North..

Last Saturday night I met with a couple that incorporated hypnosis in to their relationship. They were intersted in having me hypnotize the the woman. They were
both curious about it and frightened of it. Since I am internationally known for what I do, and lead a public lifestyle, they felt reasonably safe in inviting me
to help them explore this with them.
They had asked me if I would be willing to do this, even if I didn't get to record the session. While this did concern me at first, I decided to be patient and
hear them out. They were extremely concerned for their privacy, and were nervous enough about me hypnotizing the woman. They were pretty honest and straight
forward with me about what they were looking for, and so I decided to help them out. I thought that not only would it be a good time, but that as a role model in
the community, it was part of my responsibility to help them work out how they felt about it.
The session went smoothly, the woman went in to a trance state very quickly and easily. I lead her through a series of brief exercises, including a progressive
relaxation exercise. Deepening didn't appear to be a problem, but I went ahead with it, if for no other reason to give them time to adjust to the experience. I
made it a point to keep an eye on the gentleman from time to time to see how he was holding up. It's not always an easy thing to hypnotize a woman repeatedly over
time, and get used to the power and the position, and then watch her become obedient to another man.
From time to time, her nipple would slide out of her top, and she was either unaware or uncaring. Every so often he would lean over and adjust her top. I thought
that was touching. However, ultimately, during a break, they expressed that she would feel comfortable taking off her top. So I suggested that she do so.
At the wildest point, I gave her a hypnotic command to feel turned on, and to dance sexily, topless. Her back was pressed up against me at the time, and I had my
hands on her hips to help support her. She grinded against me, and pulled my hands up to her breasts. I enjoyed that rather a lot, and then I looked over at the
gentleman, and he indicated that it was moving beyond his comfort level. I had spent the last hour or so using hypnotic suggestion to arouse the woman, and to
increase her feelings of sexual desires, so I figured that would be a good time for me to step out of the session.
Before that, however, I asked the woman while she was in a trance to tell me what she wanted out of being hypnotized. She indicated that she wanted to feel sexy,
and to be put on display. Upon further exploration I determined that she felt a lack of confidence in her breasts, so I made use of a few techniques that I've used
in the past to help women feel more self confident with their bodies. I also gave her a number of hypnotic orgasms, and led her through the expereince of having
sex with her boyfriend, giving her hypnotic suggestions to enhance their sex for the future.
All in all it was a good experience, and they contacted me after the fact to let me know that they enjoyed it, and felt that I had respected both their boundaries
and their feelings.
I may reflect upon this a little more. I don't have a copy of the session it's self, and they were concerned about their privacy, so that made writing this a
little more difficult.
Looks like everything is back to normal now. If you added the IP addresses of my websites to your hosts files, feel free to keep them there, or to take them out,
but retain the information in a file on your machine in case such an event ever happens again.
If in the future, my websites migrate to a new IP address, you will need to change the hosts file entry, or remove it. Please keep that in mind.
For a very long time now, one of my favorite sessions has only been available as 175kb Windows Media Player
format files.
Now, I'm re-editing, and re-processing Allison 2 in to standard defintition for both Quicktime and Windows
Media Player Formats.
The first six clips are edited, and very nearly done exporting to Quicktime and Windows Media formats.
This set will also be made available on HypnosisFetish.com when I have finished working on it. Probably within a day or
two. Unfortunately progress is slow because I've only got my four year old powerbook to work on (alas my G5 is on the other side of the continent).
Hi, I'm looking for a woman named Sarah from Galveston, TX that i used to chat with who i met through her
reading hypnofocus. if you are still here sarah, please send me an IM. thanks.
I can't tell you what a trip it's been to work with the original Gothic Heather set again.
Watching video where I'm explaining hypnosis to her for the first time, or seeing her orgasm on my command for the very first time. It happened so long ago...
Anyway, here are preview mini-clips, in Standard Definition, from Gothic Heather 1, now available on HypnosisFetish.com
I've always been particularly proud of the Gothic Heather series and am happy to be able to show the three sessions as a complete set on HypnosisFetish.com. I've re-edited the Gothic Heather 1set in standard
definition. I've also included more material from the set that for whatever reason was either lost over time.
I've also included footage from the b-camera to show material that the a-camera didn't get, such as during the tape change, or perhaps during a closeup. Right now
clips 1-19 are available. Clips 20-30 should be up sometime on Saturday or Sunday at the absolute latest. You can see the description of each clip in the session
now, however.
Please note that this session will also be available on HypnoGames.com as well, becoming available on that website when all
the clips are done uploading by the end of the weekend.
Also, might not be such a bad idea to add these three lines to your hosts file as well (If you are opting to do that, recommended until after the DDoS is over)
According to this notice on their website, it has affected DNS resolution for their websites and any site
that makes use of their name servers, such as mine.
At this time, I still believe that it is better to make use of their capabilities over my own, because undoubtedly they have some highly competent experts working
on this issue.
I apologize for any inconveneince, however this issue is outside of my control.
However, you can edit your hosts file to include the following lines to bypass DNS for the time being:
This file can be found in:
/etc/hosts on UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X, requiring Superuser to edit
and
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
While you are in there, you can do something that I always do, which is to block ad servers and other undersirable things. Information on that can be found: here and here. (Please note, I'm not endorsing either site, be
sure to read about them carefully before deciding to follow any instructions or install any programs).
Re-editing and reprocessing of Gothic Heather 1 is going well. I've gone through the first tape, and for the
most part kept the editing the same as it originally appeared on HypnoGames.com. The re-edit will appear on both HypnoGames.com and HypnosisFetish.com. It's appearing on HG because it originally
appeared there, and also because I have some subscribers who have paid a fee to see the HG material re-posted in Standard Definition as it get re-processed.
However, it's also appearing on HF, because I want the Gothic Heather Series to be available in it's entirety there.
This session was filmed by a friend who does professional camera work, so you'll notice a different style in that regards. I liked it. However, the drawback of
that style is that you don't always have the shot that you want in the editing room. The steady cam was shot on a much older camera, Hi-8, I think, and even with
the capture through the D8 camera, it still has such a noticibile difference in image quality, that they can't be edited together. So I'm including a few clips
from that camera, outside of the main sequence of the set to show a detail her or there that was originally missed. Also, to show what happened during the tape
change, because there was some cool stuff in progress.
Also, for some reason, material from the second tape either didn't make it online originally, or were lost at some point. It was so long ago, that I really don't
know how either happened. So, the good news is that there's more material from the archive to see from the very first Gothic Heather session.
I'm back to work editing video in my secret frozen lair up north. While going through some vintage Gothic
Heather 1, re-editing it to re-render it in standard definition, I told Final Cut to play some footage in reverse.
It looked and sounded kind of satanic, which I find to be humorous, so I placed a short clip online.

Agreed. Kudos to you, Aaron, for all your creativity and the resulting great work. And there were some spots in the Violet series I liked a bunch (plus she's hot).
But ultimately, I was disappointed. You had something intimate with her, and good for you, but as a third party viewer, I find that a turn off, kind of like I'm a
voyeur. The Allison and first two Heather sets were some of your best work, IMHO.
That's a very interesting angle that I hadn't considered before... Then again, I am a voyeur. :-)
(Sometimes I feel like I voyeur my own life... *g*)
I wanted to do something like the Violet set, because I was starting to see people apply erotic hypnosis in their relationships every now and again... However, they
were applying the type of hypnosis that I do in a show (high energy, fast pace, jarring from reality) instead of what I view as a more relationship erotic hypnosis
(supportive, gentle, personal, etc...). So I figured if people were going to immitate, then I should show them something more similar to what I use in my own
personal relationships.
However, I hadn't considered that some might find it too personal.
Thank you for that perspective.
Also, thank you for the kudos on the Allison and first two Gothic Heather sets (I'm guessing that you felt similarly about Gothic Heather 3 as you did about
Violet). I always enjoy going back and reviewing Allison and Gothic Heather.
Oh... Well double thanks. Sorry things didn't go like you wanted it, but like you said it was a learning experience. I'm sure things'll pick up next from there.
Time for work.
If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth doing. That's what makes it a challenge. I might be down right now, but I'm most certainly not out. Now it's time for me to
ask the hard questions, and grow from them.
At the end of the day, with Thousand Orgasms, I didn't have the juice to do it the way that I had hoped, and I didn't
properly make use of what juice I had. Now I'm up north, going through old material that has been in long term storage, and getting some work done, but also
reflecting upon my growth over the years. I took on this project because I wanted growth, and growth isn't always easy.
Let us know when you've got more pictures, seeing other people pursue their dreams inspires me to work twice as hard on my own. :-)
"I'm glad you enjoyed the Violet series. I had a great time making it. I really enjoyed the chemistry that I
had with her, and was happy to explore that direction. However, ultimtely, I think I need to revisit some of my earlier styles and techniques. I think while as a
human being, it is more satisfying to do that kind of hypnosis, as an entertainer I probably need to be doing more stuff like what I did with Gothic Heather or
Allison on HypnoGames.com."

I hadn't realized how out of date the public list of
HypnosisFetish.com sets was. So I spent the afternoon correcting that. So for any of you out there that were curious, but frustrated at the broken links,
today is your lucky day. (The list had gotten messed up when I did the server migration, and I had overlooked it until now).
Also, The Kitten Toxicated Set is now up in it's entirety. I'm curious to hear about what people thought of
it.
My personal favorite, was towards the end, she was feeling really good, and grinding up against me. That was pretty hot.
Hello, I've been out of the loop for a while taking care of the house construction. However now that I got a minute I wanted to check up on how your trip to Atlanta
went. I hate I didn't have time to figure out how to make it to any of the shows you did, but I can say that my time was well spent on something important. I'm just
about at the halfway mark on the house, and am planning on being finished sometime in early May. I got a great crew working on it so I'm actually happy with things
now.
...
Oh I know this is entirely off topic but I'm kinda jazzed about the house so I put progress pics online.
http://webpages.charter.net/rbrown6833/Home%20Construction%20pics/ I'm going to have to work on a blog to post these for my folks up north.
Thank you for the Construction Pictures. I've always had a personal fascination
about such things, and always enjoy looking at how a vacant lot can be turned in to a home. What an exciting time! It's good to hear that things are working out
for you.
I must also confess to poking around the URL, and finding your art. You've got talent.
I had mixed success in Atlanta. From an exploration and personal growth perspective, it was highly successful. From a project completion standpoint, it was less
than successful... much less. I learned a number of lessons about Atlanta, but the biggest one is that the Atlanta that I know during a convention is very
different than the Atlanta I know otherwise. I didn't know this until now. (That's a lot of knowing). So don't feel bad, because you didn't miss out on much,
except for a very confused and occassionally frustrated Aaron.
All is not doom and gloom, however, because now I feel pretty confident that I know what I need to know and have what I need to have to do some cool things down
there. However, it's very different then how things are back home. This sort of thing is to be expected. It took me several years and numerous trips before I
learned how to function and feel at home in Amsterdam, for example.
Heh I watched some more of the Violet clips and got a good laugh and shock from the stuff I saw and heard.
"Cannibalism can be sexy." @.0
Okay I think I have something new to add to my list of things to check for in the red flag warning book when looking for someone new. Never can be to sure when a
playful bite is just a playful bite and not a taste test now. I may even have a T-shirt that made that says " Soylent Green Now 100% Boyfriend Free " Good job on
nipping that in the bud quick.

This article reminds me of the time that my
photographer recruited a woman, over the age of 18, who was selling magazines door to door. She appeared in this HypnosisFetish.com session. I recorded some of my initial responses to the experience here.

I was just wondering if your commitment to the 1000 Orgasms project means that hypnoslave will be delayed? Either way, any word on when hypnoslave will launch?
That is a very good question. I am out and about working on my Thousand Orgasms project, with success in some areas and
challenges in other areas.
One of the side affects of this is that I'm out and about much more than I would normally be, and that puts me in to a pretty good position to scope out BDSM
Dungeons and talent to use in the HypnoSlave project.
It also means that I am in a very hypnosis focused mindset, and so I'm thinking about it pretty much constantly now.
Right now I've got access to two places that I am considering to use as a set to film material for HypnoSlave. I've also got a few people that I'm considering
working with. This number will be increasing soon as I talk to more people out in the local BDSM community.
I'm also finding that the project is beoming more clear to me in my own mind. Parts of it are definitely going to take a more... sinsiter approach than I would
ever explore on HypnosisFetish.com or HypnoGames.com.
The only problem I'm running in to right now is funding. But I think with a little luck, I'll have the funds to film within about two weeks.
I'm looking at doing a few stage performances down in Georgia, so if those go well, I can probably channel those funds in to filming for HypnoSlave.
I'll keep you posted as more details become available.
I was just wondering if your commitment to the 1000 Orgasms project means that hypnoslave will be delayed? Either way, any word on when hypnoslave will
launch?
I am in Georgia now, just a little north of Atlanta. I'll be here (anywhere within a six hour drive one way)
for two weeks. The third week of March I will be in Pennsylvania. The fourth week of March will be Toronto and Montreal. The last week of March will be Phoenix
for a conference, then in early April returning to Atlanta for another confernece.
This is all for my Thousand Orgasms project. Always accepting volunteers.
Additionally, I'll be doing community building, and meeting people. I'm also available for parties and stuff.
"Right now I'm sitting on Violet 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 (possibly 11, I may have lost count), and while Violet and I have taken a break from filming over the holidays,
will probably be continuing shortly".
And then this in Message #1035:
"I've completed editing and uploading Violet 8, the climax and ending of the Violet series of Erotic Hypnosis taking place over an extended period of time".
Hmm, so Aaron, what happened to Violet 9 and 10? Did you miscount, or did you just decide those weren't good enough to show, or what? Just wondering.
You are correct. I had lost track of the session count when I posted that message. Also, the sessions didn't resume after the holidays on account of conflicts
between her schedule and mine, and then the Thousand Orgasms project came up...
I saw her at an event on New Years Eve, when I gave her a Christmas Gift Bag (containing seasons 4-7 of the Simpsons, The Comic Book guy book and the Ralph Wiggem
book, a framed 8x10 photograph of her and her boyfriend that I took at a prior event, a box of chocolates, and a bath bomb from Lush, for those who are curious).
She was surprised and her face lit up, and that made me happy. Usually I don't celebrate or acknowledge Christmas, but this year I didn't travel, and I had a lot
of special women in my life, so I decided to try something different.
I'm hoping to do a second series with her later, or at least a couple of one shots here and there. However, that really depends on what her life situation is like.
She alluded to the possibility of some big changes in her life, and I wish her the best in them. I haven't really seen her out and about recently, but she's the
type of person that drops off the map from time to time. If I get any more news, I'll keep you all posted.
However, just to re-iterate, there were no mystery sessions dropped in to a black hole, or anythig bad happening. It ws just a matter of Aaron partying too much,
and losing track of what number he was on when he posted the message to HypnoFocus.

Editing of my session with Kitten Toxciated is
going smoothly. I'm a little over half way through the session. There was a break in the tape between clip kitten_013 and kitten_014, because the tape had to be
changed. Fortunately, the 3 CCD panasonic camera that we used is a top loader (Sony seems to enjoy tourturing it's customers by making all their cameras bottom
loaders, which is even worse when you are on a tripod, because it gurantees that you have to take off the shoe, flip the camera over, and lose your shot. Also it
makes it impossible to change a tape in less than at least a minute).
Since I'm not including any footage from the 1 CCD camera in the Kitten set, I've made a short video comparing the quality of the two, and also showing the perhaps
20 seconds lost in the tape change.
As you can see, the difference is spectacular. In fact, I really can't stand my 1 CCD camera, now that I've seen what the relatively inexpensive 3 CCD cameras can
do.
Also, I'm going to have to get a new tripod. The old ones make noise when you attempt to move it in any way form or shape, and it does so in a jerky maner that
hurts the footage.
It's going to cost me a little more than 1200 dollars to get the two new cameras and the new tripod. So if ever there is a time to Join HypnosisFetish, it's now. Memberships over the course of this week will go directly in to equipment upgrades to
increase the quality of my work to provide better material to my supporters.
A few days ago, I posted Violet 8. Today or Tomorrow I'll have Kitten Toxciated up. I've also got two short sessions that have been in cold storage that will be going
up very shortly as well. So not only does a membership right now make a significant impact on the tech quality of the material I can produce, but it's also at a
great time to see new video!
The difference is so great, that unless I enocunter something really drastic, (like the 3CCD camera's tape being changed at an absolutely indispensible moment), I'm
not going to be cutting to the 1 CCD camera's footage in editing. Realistically, with a skilled camera operator (someone who knows how do do the basic shot types,
and knows how to do a fluid zoom (or has a camera that snaps to the different pre determined shot settings), we're now getting to the pont where I could actually
start thinking about doing a single camera shoot. This will become necessary when I'm working with expensive cameras casting $2,500 (or more).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not intending on ditching the second camera. It's the Jesus cam, and Jesus saves... when shooting documentary style, if something is lost,
then it's lost forever. Additionally, I like having one camera being responsible for wide framed, or at least two person shots, that I can always cut to in
editing, and then another one doing closeups and extreme closeups of whatever makes sense. However, for simple stuff, I'm starting to think that I could edit
together a nice single camera shoot, filmed properly on a sufficiently capable camera. It's an interestign prospect editing erotic hypnosis, because the right
editing can do wonders for material that is otherwise slow in pacing...
However, one thing that is killing me right now in the editing, is my tripod. It's impossible to do a fluid camera motion in any capacity with the junk tripods I'm
using now. These tripods are stone cyclops. As long as they don't move, they are fine, but the moment their is any motion, they are jerky, sticky, and loud. In
other words, useless for anything other than a robo-cam. Additionally, I think they've been harmful in the development of skill in a few camera operators that I've
been working with over the years. A proper tripod (eventually two, of course) is now a high priority. I don't really think a proper shoot can be done at this
point with the equpiment I'm using.
At the end of the day, however, I really like what I'm noticing now, and the solutions that I'm pursuing. I feel really confident that I'm starting to grow in to
my own as both a performer and also as a producer of video. This year should really see some exciting growth as I gain more knowledge and expereince and also the
tools to apply that knowledge and experience. There have been a number of projects that I've wanted to pursue, but haven't due to technical limitations and
frustrations. Really cool projects, I might add. Now I think I'll be able to start making them happen.
I've completed editing and uploading Violet 8, the
climax and ending of the Violet series of Erotic Hypnosis taking place over an extended period of time. It was an experiment, and I throughly enjoyed it. Erotic
Hypnosis is very interesting in the sense that it can happen as a sudden flash of intensity, or it can occur slowly over time. Deciding on which method depends on
the circumstances.
I'm going to be looking for someone to be my next erotic hypnosis subject over time. Candidate should be an attractive woman, who is open and expressive, and
willing to be part of a long term project (8 to 10 sessions taking place at the rate of one every one to four weeks). You're not going to get rich doing this, but
it is a nice steady and reliable boost of income. Applicants from anywhere in North America are welcome. Just e-mail
aaron@hypnofocus.com. Introduce yourself, mention that you are applying to be my next long term subject for HypnosisFetish.com. Include a picture, link to Live Journal or MySpace (if you've got one), and a detailed write up of why
you think you'd make a good long term subject and why you want to be the one selected.
If you're interested, but not as a long term subject, then that's fine. I'll be travelling around the country for the next few months, and there are plenty of
opportunities to be hypnotized for my Thosuand Orgasms project, and also one time sessions for HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoSlave.com
"Aaron: Quick question: what series do you watch?"
Which, I am assuming is in response to what I wrote in Message #1030
"When I live in a home, I typically do not choose to receive broadcast, satalite or cable television. Instead, I choose DVD series, sans commercials,
that are in line with the values that I prefer to interact with."
Specifically, I've updated the About Page with updated travel dates and additional contact information. I've also
updated the Blog Page with a few new entries. There is also a podcast on the Podcast Page. I've also added the video for five more volunteer orgams in to the Member's Area.
I'm not currently accepting membership until another week or so when I get back on the road. Right now I'm in Phoenix tying up loose ends, and filming sessions for
HypnosisFetish.com. In addition to Violet 8, which will being airing in a day or two, I will also be putting up footage from
some new models.
This is an exciting time, and it's only getting better!
"Lastly do you think tv has a hypnotic ability to push things away or is it just human nature to just not care. Only reason I say it.... Dick Cheney with a
Shotgun victim. I bet in 2 more days no one else will be thinking about it.... 'cept John Stewart."
I believe very strongly that television is a tool for inducing trance state. You have the subject becoming passive for great lengths of time, with heightened
focus, and suspension of disbelief.
That is why I am very choosy in terms of what information I consume over that medium.
When I live in a home, I typically do not choose to receive broadcast, satalite or cable television. Instead, I choose DVD series, sans commercials, that are in
line with the values that I prefer to interact with.
Television commercials don't convey any real information content. They are an attempt to manipulate a target demographic's emotions in order to circumvent reason.
However, television news seems to have time scales and styles similar to commercials... there might be a lesson in there.
I get all of my news via the printed word, via the Internet. This allows me to review, archive, and re-read the news that I get.
The only time that I'm really exposed to "normal" telelvision is when I travel. In a strange hotel room somewhere, in limited amounts, I like to sample it to see
what the mass population is being exposed to.
Well that's something I didn't expect to hear you ask. Heh, usually you say your subjects are the ones that
come out of the experience not remembering what happened. Oddly enough by the time I saw your question I had forgotten which clip it was and had to look through
them again to find it.
As for my question to you before; "I asked if the post-hypnotic suggestion (contact with her breast) was strong enough to trigger with accidently contact with
anything besideds your hand. i.e. your elbow."
In the 3rd clip from the 6th session you nudged violet a couple times with your elbow near the end of the clip after she picked up her hooka from the floor. It
caused her to spasm in repetition for a lil while. Soon as I saw that I thought, well that answers that question and then made me think it'd be pretty hard to
explain to someone why the girl that just bumped into you just lost herself in spasms and moaning if she ever bumped into you out in public.
Heh there's a Harry Met Sally moment in the makings if ya don't keep an eye on that. Also got to see that clip about the lawyers ya posted the other day
hightlighted on the Daily Show. Ya got to love the idea of Lawyers with souls. Now if we could only get business heads with actual Ethics.
Lastly do you think tv has a hypnotic ability to push things away or is it just human nature to just not care. Only reason I say it.... Dick Cheney with a Shotgun
victim. I bet in 2 more days no one else will be thinking about it.... 'cept John Stewart.

I'm glad that answered your question. Which clip are you specifically referring to?
I've added a link to Session Violet 6 in the member's section both under "View Newest Clips" and "View Clips
By Set."
I'm glad that you've enjoyed watching the effects of the Violet series over time. I've been wanting to do soemthing like this for a long time, and I think it shows
a side of the fetish that hasn't really ever been explored in video form.
I enjoyed it a great deal. There are two more sets, Violet 7 and Violet 8, filmed and currently in post production. That pretty much ends the sequence. Although,
I may stll schedule a final session or two to close up that sequence and tie up any loose ends. After that, if she's up to it, there is a good chance that I'll
begin another sequence with her, over time, as soon as I think of a theme.

I'm updating HypnosisFetish.com as we speak. The last couple of Violet 6 clips feature remote control play as well as Violet's impression of what it's like to receive
hypno-spankings. Clips 8 and 9 are process and uploading as I type this. Clips 10 and 11 are edited and being rendered to Quicktime and Windows Media Player Format
files, both in Standard Definition (720 x 480). They probably won't be rendered and online until Wednesday morning P.S.T. or maybe even Wednesday night P.S.T., as
I'm on the G4 laptop and not the G5 desktop at the moment. Violet 7 and 8 are both filmed, and imported, and will be online as soon as I can edit and upload
them.
In other news, I've begun my Thousand Orgasms project, and am currently in Las Vegas. I will be here until roughly
Friday afternoon, at which point I'll drive back to Phoenix for a Fetish event.
If you are a woman, 18 years of age or older, and would like to volunteer to take part in my Thousand Orgasms project, please e-mail me privately at aaron@hypnofocus.com. It doesn't require any nudity and is a non-pornographic project.
If you are a fan, or a member of the media, or fellow hypnotist, and are in Las Vegas and would like to meet, please e-mail
me.
I will be participating in a panel with the members of the Atlanta Experimental Erotic Hypnosis group, of
which I'm sort of an honorary member on account of how frequently I attend conventions out in Atlanta.
David Fonteneau will be continuing his role as the Fantasm stage
hypnotist with an exciting show at Frolicon. I've seen two of his shows personally, and I can personally vouch that his work is top notch. Additionally, some of
you may recognize him for his "Hooters Shows" that have appeared here and there in the Y!groups.
"I notice a increase of Japanees Erotic Hypno sites and video lately that seem to go way beyond what you been doing. Have you ever a chance to view these sites
and videos and what is your oppinion of them? any favorite to comment on?"
Seem to go way beyond what I've been doing in what sense? I've noticed that some material coming out of japan features content that would be considered hard core.
I'm not really very interested in producing hard core material at this time. I'm not currently aware of any websites, Japanese or otherwise that features more real
erotic hypnosis content available online, than my combined projects. I have seen group sessions that feature a larger collection of women being hypnotized
simeltaneously than my current project, but for the most part, that's due to the style and the production resource limitations of my current infrastructure. At
this time, I'm not aware of any online websites, japanese or otherwise, that have featured online material as long as I have.
So that's pretty much my opinion in terms of the going way beyond aspect of what I've been doing. In terms of style and content, I've run in to some of the
material from time to time, and some of it I haven't been very interested in and some of it I've found highly amusing. My personal favorite is the Japanese
television show where all the girls are orgasming from the loud noises and have to go through some sort of obstical course.
On a side note, I was featured a few months ago in the Japanese Bondage magazine, S&M Sniper. I've always been aware of a particular fascination with hypnosis over
in Japan, but definitely in a different flavour, reflecting cultural differences between western and Japanese cultures. I think they are similar in nature, but
distinctly different.
One day, perhaps this year as part of my journey, I hope to do something over in Japan. I'm curious to see how it goes over. So if anyone is in Japan, or has
contacts over there, I'm definitely interested.
[ Please note, if anyone has specific websites or links, please send them to me privately. I don't want this conversation thread to turn in to an opportunity to
spam my board, and they won't make it through moderation. Thanks! ]
I'm very pleased to announce my first non-pornographic Erotic Hypnosis project, Thousand Orgasms.
My quest is to give 1,000 women orgasms using hypnosis, throughout the United States and beyond. The journey starts on Thursday, with my first few destinations
being: Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Madison / Huntsville Alabama, and Atlanta. You can follow my destinations on the Thousand Orgams Blog. This tour will also be my 2006 Erotic Hypnosis Community Building Tour.
Officially, the project begins on Thursday, however, I scheduled the first session last week to accomodate a friend who is leaving town at the same time I am.
This will have no impact on the production or update schedule for HypnosisFetish.com. HypnoSlave.com still isn't ready yet, as I've been having trouble getting the set just right here in Phoenix. Hopefully, as I
tour the country, I will find nice dungeons to use as a set for that project, and with a little luch this trip will accelerate that project. I'm also planning on
doing stage shows here and there for small and medium sized audiences.
So, if you are a woman, and would like to volunteer to be one of a thousand, or if you know a good place to go (such as a party or a convention), then be sure to
send me an e-mail, or post to this forum!
I notice a increase of Japanees Erotic Hypno sites and video lately that seem to go way beyond what you been
doing. Have you ever a chance to view these sites and videos and what is your oppinion of them? any favorite to comment on?
Violet 6 is up on HypnosisFetish.com. It's about half way posted, and the rest will go up tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm particularly proud of Clip
6. It features hypno-spanking with orgasms. For those of you waiting for HypnoSlave.com to open, check out that clip for an
idea of things to come...
Hm.... No more WMA? I've been noticing things like that a lot more lately. The biggest brain bomb was USA
Today's article on Apple computers converting to Intel chipsets only. I wonder what other lil quirks like that are on the horizon. Especially since everyone is
chasing after a universal video format that can easily be used with camera/video phones and itune playing devices. My Psp for some reason is only friendly to MP4
format; with the proviso that you add certain icon files with it so it knows the movie files exist. (spent almost 2 weeks figuring that one out)
I'm not particularly worried, as I've been using third party applications to view and create windows media format files on the Mac platform for years...
I've finished uploading Violet 4, which pretty much
brings HypnosisFetish.com back to current. There were still a few gaps in 2005, but I would rather focus on the future,
than live in the past. Besides, my announcement in the next paragraph should more than make up for it.
I've been very happy with the extended session format. However, at the same time, I also miss the faster paced single session format. So, I'm Planning on doing
both. I'm still working out the details. However, it should be something along the lines of an update for the extended sessions at the rate of one per day, every
day, now and always.
Right now I'm sitting on Violet 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 (possibly 11, I may have lost count), and while Violet and I have taken a break from filming over the holidays,
will probably be continuing shortly. So I think we're in good shape for the Violet series. I'm extremely happy with the turnaround time on my iMac G5, as I can do
a full 2 hour session now, from import, to editing, to rendering to Standard Definition QuickTime and Windows Media in about a day. This whole process took a good
week before. So, I'll probably have Violet footage for the first third to half of 2006 edited and in the system within about a week or so.
So, once the footage is edited and rendered, all I need to do is rewrite some of the software that handles the daily updates, and viola, no more delays. One of the
reasons why the updates have come in batches over the last couple of months is because the old auto updating system broken when I did the server migration, and I
haven't been able to write a new one until I sorted out some of the new things that I've implemented.
Additionally, I'm planning on filming the next batch of single session format videos shortly, and those will probably go on the website at the rate of 1 every other
day or perhaps 2 per every 3 days. I plan on doing about six of those before mid February.
So the already filmed and soon to be edited Violet sessions, combined with the soon to be filmed and edited single format sessions, combined with the upcoming
revised auto update system means rock solid reliable updates, and more footage than ever before for the next six months.
I will also be looking for another candidate for an extended session, which will also air simeltaneously, perhaps in the off days that there isn't a new single
session clip.
...
The next anticipated disruption to my personal schedule and operations will occur in mid February when the lease to my apartment is done. At that point I have
several options ranging from: get another apartment, do another community building tour, do a stage show tour, or ???. It is my goal right now to inusre that this
disruption to my personal schedule will have no impact on the website schedule.
Also there is stuff happening on the HypnoSlave front, but that announcement will need to wait a little longer.
Arron may i just say, that i would double my subscription, if all your clips were re-processed like this.
Start Now!! :)
I'm glad you like it. I'm hoping to hear more positive feedback on the new format.
As I mentioned in post 998 I recently got my hands on a 2.1 GHZ iMac G5. Prior to that, I was using a
1.0 GHZ Powerbook G4. Things that took me several days now take only about a day. Additionally, with two machines, I can still be productive while I wait for
video to render or to capture on the other. ( The new MacBookPro was just announced today, and I'm totally excited
about it, although it will still be another month or two before the editing apps that I use will be ported over to it.)
Things slowed down a little over the Christmas and New Year holidays. My girlfriend of six years had to go back to Canada a couple of months ago for knee surgery,
and the holiday was the first time she was well enough to travel. Additionally, when I wasn't showering her with affection and attention, I was out being Mr.
Social in order to keep my skills polished and to be able to find potential models for the New Year.
When things started to return to a dull roar around the office, and armed with the new machine, I decided it was time to take a look at my video encoding. I've
been unappy with it for some time now. Also, I've been unhappy with the slow and medium download speed of quicktime and 100k of windows media, I don't really think
it makes sense to do that anymore. As I researched, I realized that one of the problems was that the videos were not being encoded to their original resolutions.
Once I went in and corrected this, I started to manually experiemnt with different bitrates and what not. Over the years, I've been picking up video editing theory
and knowledge from here and there, and it was time to put it to use. However, on the other side of the coin, this is my business, and I'm sometimes slow to
change.
I was pretty happy with the results of the new format specifications. The only problem is that now I need to rewrite the software that does the batch rendering. I
don't think Applescript is going to cut it for this. Compressor or Automator might be what I need, but I haven't done anything with either yet, so I don't know.
(If anyone has skills with these and can point me to a tutorial on the web or give me advice or be availalble to help me debug when I get stuck and bang my head
against the wall, please let me know). On the plus side, rendering takes much less time now, and I still have another computer to do administrative stuff with, so
it's not so bad to do it by manually.
I do plan on re-rendering older footage and bringing all of HypnosisFetish.com in line with the new format. I think I
have all the originals for that website here in the office, so it should be a relatively easy and straightforward process. Once I get the new batch rendering
software in order, it will be a simple matter of clearing my drives, copying half a terabyte of videos to them, programming the batch, and then go party for the
weekend or soemthing, and then upload them on Monday morning. I'm very excited about this.
I've finished editing Violet 4, and should have those rendered and uploaded by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, Phoenix time. I'll have to go and check my
records, but I think that gets us all caught up and squared away for the time period that I was kind of flakey. If not, I'll keep rendering and uploading sets
until we are. I know that I've asked a lot from my members over the last half year, but it's been pretty crazy on my end. Once the backlog is taken care of, I'll
reprogram the automatic daily site updates back in to the system. I've already got about 10 sessions of Violet filmed, and with session 5 we start to get things
heated up. There's other stuff in the pipeline, but I can't say much about that yet. HypnoSlave.com is almost ready to go.
Also, there may be a surprise or two in store of HypnoGames.com as well...
I know a lot of stuff that's been going on lately has been behind the scenes type stuff... However, it's been a very productive year, and a lot of foundation was
laid for the future.

These are exciting times, and I want to thank everyone for being here for them!
I've rendered the Violet 4 set, on HypnosisFetish using a different procedure than the previous sets. The resolution is now much higher (720x480 - Standard
Definition). The file sizes are a little larger than the previous quicktime "high" and windows media "400k" settings. However the quality is way better.
didnt even notice there was a contest.. but... I e-mailed you about what do I do now?
You will receive 3 free months subscription to HypnoSlave.com when it goes live. If you've been a member of one of my pay sites in the past, let me know what your
user id was, and I can use that as proof of age. Otherwise you'll need to mail in proof of age.
Hi, (i've sent a copy of this email to the hypnosisfetish staff).
I'd enjoyned your work a lot and I appreciate it, so I would like to make a suggestion to improve the quality of hypnosisfetish.
It would be a great enhancement to have some translations for the video clips. I'd been researching about how to make it with the less possible expenses in
software, space on the hypnosisfetish web server or time for the staff.
There's a very simple way to get translations to another languages for this videoclips without modifying the original MPGE file (a important feature, I think):
Making subtitles files for the videoclips that can be played using a software named "Bsplayer" (free software, it replaces the windows media player and is fast to
download: 1,5 Mb, no adaware, no fees).
This software reads the original videoclip file, and then puts the subtitles on it while you are playing the video on your computer every time you are seeing it at
your home, by this way, Aaron and him staff, doesn't have to make different videoclips for each language to translate on, they just need to have different subtitles
files on the web server for each language that the users will download according them prefferences. These subtitles files are very small (25Kb size).
Advantages:
-It don't need more space on the web server.
-it's not necessary to make different videoclips for each language, just one videoclip is enough for all languages, so, is not necessary to change the actual file
contents on the hypnosisfetish server (a big advantage!!).
-These subtitles are smaller and can be downloaded at same time with the videoclip (just 25Kb each language file).
The subtitles can be made using some volunteers, three or four volunteers can be needed for each language.
It is just an idea. I consider that it could be a plus for the users. With this improvement, hypnosisfetish would be the first site on the web offering this kind of
adult content on differents languages, without spend many money (possibly nothing money).
Bye!
P.S. If this idea could work, and you plan to make the translations, I could help on the spanish translation.
ok I've been wondering about this for a while, basically I've tried hypnosis using mp3s for quite a long time
and I've never actually managed to go under, what are some of the things that can prevent you from going under hypnosis? would ADD be a part of those things?
The clip in message #980 - 2005-12-06 16:20:49 has audio but no video.
The video is dark for the first five seconds or so... This was a private party, and someone else was in frame, so it had to hit the cutting room floor. :-)
Aside from that, it might depend on what version of Quicktime your running and what operating system. Make sure you're running the latest version of Quicktime.
Aside from that, you can try downloading the file and use VLC or Mplayer to view the file.
I've been seeing this message about "when it goes live" for months now. When will it go live?
When it's ready... :-)
I've been behind schedule on HypnosisFetish.com for months now. It's ironic, because I have 10 sessions with Violet
filmed, and only 3 and a half online. It's exciting work, and it gets pretty hot in the later sessions, with a lot of cool foundation building in the early
sessions. I didn't even want to think about launching HypnoSlave.com until I had HypnosisFetish.com stabilized.
Having said all that, here is where things stand as of today.
2 days ago I picked up a second computer, a 2.1 GHZ G5 iMac, with 1/4 of a TB of hard drive space. Yesterday, I edited the bulk of the second half of Violet 3. It
took the afternoon to edit, the evening to render to quicktime, and over night to render the windows media format files. Compare this to the first half of Violet 3
that I edited late last week, and spent the weekend processing in to quicktime and windows media format. So basically I can now do post production for a two hour
session in about two days now as opposed to a week. Also, since I have multiple machines now, I no longer have to bring everything else I do to a screeching halt
while I'm editing and rendering video. These are all very good things.
By the way, the bulk of Violet3 is online now.
There are other factors involved, but this is the most relevant.
I've been preparing a few subjects for the website, so once the infrastructure stuff is back up to speed, things should move pretty quickly, pretty fast.
Also, Aaron: you haven't met me (yet), but you know people that I know, and it's only a matter of time before we meet. I tried to locate you at DragonCon this year,
but you were pretty difficult to find. Next time you're in the vicinity of NYC, send me an email and I'll treat you to a free lunch, just for the privilege of
meeting you.
I can be kind of all over the place at conventions. I will definitely take you up on that free lunch next time I'm in NYC! :-) If nothing else, I'm probably going
to be in town this summer for the next 2600 conference.
Are there any clips left in the latest Gothic Heather Series?
I was just wondering becaues it just seemed to end kind of abruptly.
Sometimes sessions just sort of run out of steam. This is particularly common with extremely long sessions. Gothic Heather 3 filmed for something along the lines
of 3 hours, including occassional interruptions when her puppy got lonely. From time to time I just decide to wrap it up early in the editing room.
Again, I love the triggered orgasms,
but I love the look of shock and surprise on the girls faces
when they realize what they are doing even more (the clucking jumping jacks, hoola hoop contest, braying like a donkey, acting like a parrot ect.)
Triggered orgasms are one of my favorite things in the world. :-)
The look of shock and surprise is adorable, however there's an art to it. Too much shock and surprise, and the subject is left frazzled. Not enough, and it's too
mellow. There's definitely an art to it...
How does one get to be hypnotized by you? I've looked in the FAQs on several of the sites but didn't find anything about it...
That's a very good question...
It depends on the circumstances. Meeting me at conventions or when I travel is a good way of going about it. Meeting me at a party is a good way. Appearing on my
website is a good way. Showing up to one of my shows and demonstrations is a good way.
On the other hand...
Inviting me as a guest to a convention or to travel is a good way of going about it. Inviting me to or throwing a party revolving around hypnosis is a good way.
Organizing a show or demonstration is a good way.

Actually, by today's standards Shatner's old stuff (well, his new stuff epecially so) may be considered old hat and campy but back then it was the koolness. Star
Trek's standards evolved with the times to a certain extent with each new series trying something new.
As to Star Wars fans . . . com on! They're even easier to zap than the Trekkers. Just Walk up, wave your hand and do the Force Induction. I have an old copy of a
stage show Ormond McGill did once using his Star Wars Induction. It was actually a rehash of his old chakra induction but it still worked just as
well.
Hm... touche!
I would think up something snappy to say but I think it may be best to just leave this alone.
"Wow.... Never would have thought a strong attraction to science fiction could be used as a means to put the whammy on you. Seriously, as a sci-fi
junkie we could use a warning on things like this ahead of time. Oh well, just means you have to be careful on what you like. Now time for the obligatory poke of
fun. We are talking about Trekkies... Any group of people that can sit through hour after hour of Shatner based acting, have proven they are both weak of Mind and
Will. Perfect candidates. With that said, the Star Wars fan in me has been appeased."
Uh, that's Trekkers. :-)

Re: The Vulcan nerve pinch. It's interesting to note that the whole idea was made up on the fly, after Leonard
Nimoy got a script where Spock incapacitates someone by slugging them with a phaser. Nimoy felt that this wasn't in character, and so someone came up with the VNP
instead. Also, for all the ragging that Shatner gets in the acting department, it happens he was the first on-screen victim of a pinch, and he did a good job of
selling it. The man really could act, when forced to...
"Am I the only one that can remember the TV show "V". The 80's SciFi show about the invaders from space that take over earth, and it turns out they

Am I the only one that can remember the TV show "V". The 80's SciFi show about the invaders from space that
take over earth, and it turns out they are actually lizard people wearing fake skin and eat people as they're main food source. Yeah 20 years later it does sound
really out there but it was a pretty good show. It's not as old as Star Trek, but it had hypnosis (brainwashing) fairly throughout the entire length of the show.

"A bunch of stuff. I have the same impression about the FCC and full inductions being a voluntary guideline rather than law. However, there are a slew of cases of
people being hypnotized at home when watching a show or of there being "accidents" related to crew (the most famous exampe from a Letterman Show episode where Dave
was playing around using his "hypnotic eyes" and voice mimicking the hypnotist who had appeared on a previous episode and they had to call Marshall Sylver up to
de-hypnotize a crewman who was acting all floaty and out of it even though Marshall's episode was taped the day before)."
A quote that I like to use is, even a bored grad student reading off of a sheet of paper will lead to a predictable percentage of the population going in to a state
of hypnosis...
"Of course, the Vulcan Mind Meld makes a wonderful induction in and of itself. I've used it straight with some folks and just by their familiarity
with the show and their knowledge that I am a "hypnotist" they pop just find. You can then run a regression on 'em to stick to theme or do parts work . . . or just
turn them into Orion Slave Girls (the classic type not the scary Enterprise type who look hotter but who are too Machiavellian for my tastes).
I've also used the Vulcan Nerve Pinch as an instant induction
[snip]
Please note that all of the above is pure bullshit. Other than Roddenberry being interested in hypnosis and his desire to put it into the original Star Trek
program. That part is real. There is no real Vulcan Nerve Pinch and he certainly had nothing to do with MK Ultra. But the reality of the story is created through
the telling and everything is self-reinforced so that expectation goes pretty high. When you ask if the person is ready to go through the technique and feel the
effects, when they say "yes" then you have 'em. It's pure suggestion and it works beautifully."
Cute... :-) Good technique.
"BTW, when doing something like this with extremely attractive women in appropriate context, one could also add the caveat right before gently
massaging the "nerve point" . . . "some people report arousal when undergoing this technique and a few even report having spontaneous orgasms so if you notice
yourself becoming sexually aroused, it's okay, it's just the technique." Of course, no one here would do that. :-) Or, would they?"
Good structure. Opens the door without backing you in to the corner. I like that.
BTW, Aaron, I finally got talked into running a "couples hypnosis" workshop on sensuality trance and the like. Not sure I'll be teaching Vulcan Never
Pinches though. :-)
"Aaron, according to my research, it isn't an FCC requirement, but, rather, something mandated by each network's Standards and Practices department.
That means 1) it varies from network to network, 2) may change from year to year, and 3) almost impossible to get a hold of a copy. In practical terms, it means
that hypnosis inductions were discouraged but not always forbidden: I can name a number of examples where more than a brief induction was shown on
TV."
That's very interesting... I'm going to have to look a little further in to this...
"The first mention on the subject I ever saw was from, of all places, a book on the original Star Trek series. In it, a scene was described in which
Spock was supposed to hypnotize a patient. The S&P department nixed the scene, saying that it ran the risk of hypnotizing the viewer, and, besides, it was a medical
procedure and that Dr. McCoy should perform it. Instead, the Vulcan Mind Meld was created to get the same results."
I find it amazing how ground breaking Star Trek truly was... From the first interracial kiss, to the first mention in regards to hypnosis on American television,
etc. etc.
Also, I have been watching a recent release on DVD of one of my old favorite television shows when I was a kid, War of the Worlds: The Series. I would definitely
recommend checking it out if you want to see fairly frequent use of hypnosis to add to the Hypnosis in Media website.
(Great site, by the way!)
"I was just looking through the archived sets and came across the Lilly set - one of my favorites. Any chance of bringing her back for another set? I thought she
was very attractive and responded to the session in really interesting ways. Also, any word on when Hypnoslave will be active?
Lilly is a distinct possibility. I believe that we still have a line of communication open with her. I will put word out and see if another session is possible.
I enjoyed working with her a great deal. I was particularly impressed with her responsiveness and gentle nature.
HypnoSlave is still in the works. I have some talent that is pretty firmly committed. I'm also in the works of obtaining some BDSM equipment to properly set up
the shoot. For example, I placed an order for a Saint Adrew's Cross last night from a local
source. I don't want it to look stylistically like my other work. It could be up and running as soon as the end of January... or it could take longer. I think
we're in the home stretch.

"Hi. Got a chance to check out the Violet 5 last night. Pretty good. I'm glad to see you've resurrected the climax based on contact with breast. It was the
foundation of the clip I thought was the funniest to see, where Allison literally chased you around the room to force your hand to touch her. Got to see a new
degree in how potent a command it is in the violet session when you showed it still works when she's fully dressed. However this made me more curious to wonder just
how far could it go. Is it possible you could bump into her with your shoulder just passing by and get the same effect?"
Thanks! Support and encouragement like this keep me going!
I do very much enjoy using a tactile based trigger to cause orgasm and climax, and what better place than the breast? I do walk gently with that trigger though,
because I have to be certain that it's appropriate. Notice that I ask for feedback from her so that I can better understand what I should and shouldn't do. The
problem is, lots of people, both male and female, aren't communicative in a clearly defined manner on this subject. This means that strategies of human behavior
sometimes fall in to strategies such as: "go 'till no," and "trial and error."
I don't like these strategies because the former pushes until a no answer is provided, guaranteeing that at some point the other party will say no - on the one
hand, or a limit will be violated if the other party wants to say no, but doesn't feel able or that it would be accepted and doesn't. The latter strategy is a
little better, but once again it it has the same flaw, a built in pursuit of error, which may or may not be realized in real time depending on feedback from the
other party.
Of course, neither of the above two strategies will run in to "no" or "error" if the person who will be determining "no" or an "error" is literally okay for
anything.
But, consider this example... What if the person adopting the "go 'till no," and "trial and error," strategies doesn't properly receive the "no" or "error"
message? This can happen in a number of ways including miscommunication, inexperience, misinterpretation, and even denial.
Still, these strategies also seem very one sided to me, which is kind of strange for something involving 2 (or perhaps more - if you like to party!) people...
I prefer adopting a strategy of mutual responsibility, on a framework of structured communication. When these things are clearly defined and out in the open, and
everyone is an active participant, then using this communication as a foundation, a much wider variety of strategies can be adopted safely.
Even when people aren't necessarily direct in expressing their feelings, I like to use hypnosis, to make use of strong forces within them, to encourage them to
communicate more. Over time, this can become internalized in the subject, and cause a much more free exchange of information to be possible. This in turn opens
the door to a much richer variety of human sexual interaction, whether it be meaningful hugs or group orgies...
... and yes, I too am rather fond of the Allison clip where she chased me around to pull my hand to her breast... although, I think there was a degree of confusion
in her as to why she was doing it. If I were to do that clip again (and I think I will later on today with my next session with Violet), I would incorporate
different elements in it's structure to insure enjoyment by all.
Could I get the same affect by just bumping her shoulder as I walked by... I see no reason why not... although context would apply almost certainly. The
subconscious accepting it as a valid command so to speak... Basic set and setting of the subject. Does the subconscious interpret that interaction as being in the
context of the hypnotic process, for example?
"As for the other sessions looking forward to them getting clearance. You've got an interesting set going, and it'd be nice to see how it pans out."
Thank you. I'm very excited about this project. I've been wanting to do something different for quite some time. I think this is more in line (but not quite
exactly) with what a relationship making use of erotic hypnosis is like.
"p.s.. Like the others said, I'm not a big fan of the smoking. Oh well, sorry."
Your voice and the voices of others have been heard. In this context the hookah is finished... I'll have to find another structure to contain our pre-session
banter. Although, keep in mind, we're filmed all the way to, I think, Violet 9 so this change won't be visible for some time...
Wow.... Never would have thought a strong attraction to science fiction could be used as a means to put the
whammy on you. Seriously, as a sci-fi junkie we could use a warning on things like this ahead of time. Oh well, just means you have to be careful on what you
like.
Now time for the obligatory poke of fun.
We are talking about Trekkies... Any group of people that can sit through hour after hour of Shatner based acting, have proven they are both weak of Mind and
Will. Perfect candidates.
With that said, the Star Wars fan in me has been appeased.
Great conversation right now... I'll post a proper reply after I've digested the messages, and given them some

In the meantime, I did a short show for a friend who had a going away party recently. He is a Marine, and he's going to be away from home for a while.
Unfortunately, I won't be posting any of that show, since it was private. However, there is a brief clip where I'm the only one in frame (I had to darken the first
and last approximately 4 minutes of the clip to keep it so I'm the only one in frame). In this clip I discuss in a
humorous way why I won't be making anyone cluck like a chicken.
I'm doing events and parties with a lot more frequency these days, so you can expect little bits and pieces like these to show up more often.

I've also used the Vulcan Nerve Pinch as an instant induction. I start by explaining that Gene Roddenberry was actually a hypnotist before he gave it up
to work in television as creative talent and a lot of folks don't know that he was one of the lead hypnotic researchers in the MK Ultra Project and that he had
learned a special nerve pinch technique which is similar to a sleeper hold but not dangerous as it pinches a nerve instead of an artery and the discovery was that
it sends folks into a very very deep and extremely suggestible state immediately. In fact, Roddenberry was criticised by his former colleagues for revealing the
nerve pinch, even if he did disguise the precise location and nature in science fiction (it was partly because of Roddenberry that the MK Ultra Project materials
became classified). Of course, I learned the original technique from Roddenberry himself six years prior to his death, at a time when we were corresponding on the
use of hypnosis in science fiction and fantasy. I then explain very clearly that "when I press on the nerve, you will know it immediately as it will feel like
nothing you have ever encountered before and you may find your eyes close down and you immediately drop into an extremely deep hypnotic state where you will be
extremely suggestible and even though I will only give you good suggestions if I wanted to give you suggestions that went against your will you would have to accept
them and do whatever I asked you because the state is so powerful as it comes from your autonomic nerver response system. Are you ready to feel this interesting
state?" When they say "yes" I then reach over and place my hands on the spots of the classic Vulcan Nerve Pinch and then move my fingers up a bit and let them know
that the "actual" spot is a little higher right at the base of the skull where the softness is and I gently press - never apply strong pressure as just a bit of a
gentle kiss pressure is all that is ever needed as the switch is highly responsive - and pop they go.
Please note that all of the above is pure bullshit. Other than Roddenberry being interested in hypnosis and his desire to put it into the original Star Trek
program. That part is real. There is no real Vulcan Nerve Pinch and he certainly had nothing to do with MK Ultra. But the reality of the story is created through

effects, when they say "yes" then you have 'em. It's pure suggestion and it works beautifully.
I've done this with a lot of folks who respond extremely deeply and they always report the depth of the trance is incredibly deep and that they found themselves
having to respond to the suggestions automatically. They experience it as a deeply powerful technique . . . bear in mind that I live in a country where Star Trek
may be known by some folks but they're not really a fan country . . . yet, I have never ever failed with this . . . imagine my success rates in a place where
trekkies live and breathe the stuff. Muahmuahahahmuahaha (evil laugh). BTW, when doing something like this with extremely attractive women in appropriate context,
one could also add the caveat right before gently massaging the "nerve point" . . . "some people report arousal when undergoing this technique and a few even report

Yet another in a series of what appears to be Hypnosis as Interrorgation television shows. MTV wants to hypnotize your college roommate. Via DeeperAsleep's Hypnosis Links. On the one hand, I'm not particularly interested in the plot. On the other hand,
there's the promise of hypnotized college chicks, even if they don't really do anything with them, that in and of it's self is sexy.
To be perfectly honest, I don't know why I haven't been approached by a television producer... Then again, the previous sentence might be the reason...
RE: Manual or hypnotic arousal, which do you tend to think is more potent or satisfying?
That's a very interesting question... However, like many interesting questions, there is a catch.
Consider the example of two partners who are sexally active in some sense. Both are asked the question in isolation. One says Manual and the other says Hypnotic.
What does this mean?
In one case, it could mean that the two partners are incompatible, and would experience a degree of frustration in their dealings with each other.
In another case, it could mean that the two partners are incompatible, and this incompatibility forms the central conflict that for certain personality types, the
overcoming of, fuels the relationship and gives it purprose.
Consider the example of where a partner answers with, I don't know.
In one case, this could indicate a lack of a pre-determined conclusion, which leaves room for exploration.
In another case, this could indicate a lack of experience with one or both.
Consider the example where a partner answers strongly with one or the other.
In one case this could be because the partner feels that way personally, and believes that the other parter responds as well. That person may be right or wrong,
depending on how similar he or she is to his or her partner.
In another case this could be because the partner has reason to believe that the other feels this way, and may or may not be right.
Consider the example where a person simply cannot answer the question, because that person believes that people are way too varied in their tastes and experiences
for such a complicated question to be expressed so simply.
In another case, a person may disagree, and think that this is a very simple question with a simple answer.
Consider the model of hypnosis as detailed exploration of the wide variety of different expressions of people that exist.
In another case, consider the model of hypnosis as a way to take a wide variety of variation and compress it down to a focused and well developed and rigid
strucure.
Lots of questions and lots of answers... choose your own direction.

I concur with mmy. I've been known to enjoy a cigarette or two, but I find the smoking more distracting than
sexy.
With one exception. I know you used the hookah to aid in hypnotizing Kiki, but that didn't do it for me...but I think it would be pretty cool if you planted a
post-hypnotic suggestion that the hookah would have that effect upon the unwitting subject. It's kind of like the stethoscope you used in "Nurse Betty." As a prop
used to conduct a conventional induction, that would otherwise be mediocre, but as a mundane item turned into a secret way to "capture" the subject, I find it
pretty sexy.
I've posted Violet 5 in it's entirety to HypnosisFetish.com. Violet 3 and 4 are still in post, due to some delays that I ran in to. Since I didn't want to keep
everyone waiting, I decided to show it a little out of sequence. Don't worry, 3 and 4 are still on the way, and 6 and 7 are as well. In this set, we see things
start to get heated up, and start moving in to a more BDSM frame of reference.
As of 8:00 am Phoenix time, the files are still uploading, so if you sign up immediately after I post this message, don't panic until about 10:00 am Phoenix time.

Matt wrote in Message #950: "I've got a few questions that're particularly aimed at Aaron, given his experience with the intersection of hypnosis with D/S, but I'm interested in anyone's
informed answers. The questions relate to the true meaning of "consent" and the way that we distinguish between a person's autonomy (or, to put it another way, a
person's freedom of will) while they're "awake" and while they're hypnotized."
Consent is an interesting concept. When 90 percent of all human communication is non-verbal, how do we define consent? Since I derrive my ethical framework from
utility theory, I reason that I gain more utility from being free than from being imprisoned, so I use the definition of consent that is provided in a legal
framework. Specifically verbalized consent. It's inefficient compared to my perception of humanity and reality, but it's very efficient in terms of remaining free
in a society that is run by religious fundamentalists and anti-reason and anti-science politicians.
"Do you think it's unethical to hypnotize someone--let's say a stranger--without explicitly informing them? If you think so, why? Isn't it impossible to
hypnotize someone against their will?"
Not at all. But then again, that would apply to the model of hypnosis that I use that is defined as an advanced form of communication. If I am going to
communicate with someone, then I should do so as effecitvely as I can. Most people don't know how to properly communicate. Now hypnosis in the model as a form of
control, that depends...
"What if the situation got a bit more extreme...What if, after hypnotizing a stranger, you gave them the suggestion to have sex with you and they accepted.
Unethical? Again, if you think so, how do you square that with the conventional wisdom that you can't be "made" to do anything against your will through
hypnosis?"
People give suggestions to strangers to have sex, and strangers accept and reject these suggestions every day. Frequently people voluntarily go to places to
gather, and then voluntarily consume chemicals that specifically impair their judgment and relax their inhibitions. Frequently sexual interaction occurs.
Sometimes people regret this and sometimes people are glad that they've done this. This is a common occurance in many societies. There are a number of legal and
philosophical frameworks that deal with this. How is this different from Hypnotic suggestion? Well, I guess that depends on whether you think hypnosis is more
pursuasive than alcohol. I guess it depends on whether or not you believe people are helpless under hypnosis. I guess it depends on whether or not someone is
topping from the top or topping from the botton. In short, it's a complicated question that has no general rules. If in doubt in regards to sexual interaction,
then just don't do it. Nothing bad happens from delaying.
"Here's a slightly different question...You're working with someone who wants to be hypnotized, maybe someone you've hypnotized before. The subject states that
she doesn't want to do X. But while under hypnosis, she evinces a willingness to do X. Is it unethical to suggest that she do X, at that point? Can you fairly say
that she's changed her mind and, as in any other situation where someone changes their mind, you're free to disregard the prior statement? What if she doesn't
appear willing until you try hard to change her mind, while she's under hypnosis?"
If a person makes a statement, and then later in a state of mind that may be considered vulnerable, she makes indications... It might not look good for you in a
legal or ethical perspective. Having said that, there are a number of personality types that will try to get another person to accept responsibility for their
actions. This can be a risky and dangerous position to be in. I personally would delay.
"The very last situation relates to me...Not that I've actually done this, but I've been hypnotizing someone online who's enjoys a very submissive role and has
expressed an interest in being "made" to do things. But she has also said, "I don't think I'm ready to do X"--explicit, yes, but also not the most forceful
expression of her wishes. So it leaves me wondering whether I should suggest she do X while under hypnosis...Any comments are welcome."
It really depends on the circumstances. If you're looking for generalized advice, I would advise on holding off. To do otherwise could be risky. Your miliage may
vary, of course.

For the last two updates, I've moved the dates to the current time, but as I mentioned before, I have a new editor on board, and Violet 3 and 4 are being edited now

Don't feel bad. It is an unusual situation. We live in a world where there is so much pain and suffering inflicted upon people, but we all try to look the other
way and pretend like it isn't there. In my world, I shove my own feelings down, and try to look in to the center of the pain and suffering and understand it's

descriptions of the last 6 clips. Her editing skills are better than mine, so I'm really excited about the finished product. We should have DVD production back
online shortly as well, in time for Christmas.
Is there anyone out there with the real ability to
make two people act like dogs barking in a fancy
bar?or have wife become a lesbian for the nite/or have
husband become a fag hag?
I am looking for the person who posseses such mind and
hypno power to make this a reality.Nothing illegal
only unethical.
Is there a Kreskin like person in tri-state area who

Hey Aaron! Long time since we've heard from you. How's everything going? I hope all is well. I'm really
enjoying these Violet sets and I look forward to seeing more.
I've got a few questions that're particularly aimed at Aaron, given his experience with the intersection of
hypnosis with D/S, but I'm interested in anyone's informed answers. The questions relate to the true meaning of "consent" and the way that we distinguish between a
person's autonomy (or, to put it another way, a person's freedom of will) while they're "awake" and while they're hypnotized.
Do you think it's unethical to hypnotize someone--let's say a stranger--without explicitly informing them? If you think so, why? Isn't it impossible to hypnotize
someone against their will?
What if the situation got a bit more extreme...What if, after hypnotizing a stranger, you gave them the suggestion to have sex with you and they accepted.
Unethical? Again, if you think so, how do you square that with the conventional wisdom that you can't be "made" to do anything against your will through
hypnosis?
Here's a slightly different question...You're working with someone who wants to be hypnotized, maybe someone you've hypnotized before. The subject states that she
doesn't want to do X. But while under hypnosis, she evinces a willingness to do X. Is it unethical to suggest that she do X, at that point? Can you fairly say
that she's changed her mind and, as in any other situation where someone changes their mind, you're free to disregard the prior statement? What if she doesn't
appear willing until you try hard to change her mind, while she's under hypnosis?
The very last situation relates to me...Not that I've actually done this, but I've been hypnotizing someone online who's enjoys a very submissive role and has
expressed an interest in being "made" to do things. But she has also said, "I don't think I'm ready to do X"--explicit, yes, but also not the most forceful
expression of her wishes. So it leaves me wondering whether I should suggest she do X while under hypnosis...Any comments are welcome.
Hi - Just wondering what's happening at Hypnosisfetish... It's been about a month since the last posting - and
that after you teased us with promises of oodles of stuff... Been hanging in with you through all the trials and tribulations, but the bill comes every month....
Thanks.
Hm... Now that I think about it, I probably should have took a lil more time writing my question. Didn't
mean to make it sound so dramatic, but it did seem to be a bit of an unusual situation. Instead of saying "disturbing" it may have been more appropriate to say
"slightly unsettling." Either way, I am looking forward to your response into her psyche, but for now it's time to get back to my normal hum drum.
Will there be any updates to Hypnosis Fetish in the next seven days? Also, as material is added on a typically
irregular basis, is it possible to institute some sort of emailing system to advise members when it is necessary to check back for new content?
I'll write a full reply to Meachy's message later, because I want to make sure it properly articulates my
answers.
However, just for the record, Violet is not in any physical danger what so ever. If that were the case, we wouldn't have proceeded with the session, as it's our
policy to stop production immediately in such an event, and lend whatever assistance that we can.
Violet is referring to the echos of things long past, and now understands why the past will never again be the future. The fact that she had a hard time in the
past is unfortunate. However, moving beyond that is wonderful.
When I logged on I was simply going to ask how the preparations for your show was going, when is it, and how to
gain an invitation, but I just read your post on Violet.
The highlighted comments you marked do seem a bit disturbing. I can't help but wonder if you've heard anything like this before from a subject. If so, do you have
an obligation beyond your own handling of them. You know, kinda like a doctor that treats a kid for the flu and notices welps or scarred tissue from a healed bone
break. In their case they are expected to take actions beyond their initial care. I've seen you help address the subjects you've put under that had poor
self-images. Helping them to move past the fear of their bodies appeared to be more of a cosmetic subject verse something that could be of a physical threat.
Stepping pass your current sessions, are their any particular warning signs you keep an eye out for?
And if there are, is there a method of handling that you follow?
A few days ago in my editing, I came across a segment that gave me pause, and I needed to think about what I was doing, and what I was projecting, and if I was
being responsible in posting the clip in whole.
On occassion I've cut things that I thought were too personal for the subject, or perhaps conveyed the wrong message to the public. For example, one subject - no
I'm not going to say who - expressed that once her friends literally kidnapped her off the street for her birthday because they figured that she'd be in to it (and
in this case she was). Now, from a documenatry point of view, that was very interesting footage. However, I had to let it hit the floor, because I didn't think
that was an accurate representation of what women in general want, and would feel really bad if that was the snowflake that triggered the avalanche in someone
unstable. (Not that I view any of my viewers in that way, but unfortunately the cruel hand of fate made it a general tendency that you're going to get a bell curve
effect in just about any social group).
While I don't accept personal responsiblity for the actions of others, I do remain conscious in my work as a public figure as it relates to the process of setting
normative values in a community, and so I do attempt to project these values in the expression of my work.
Now, as most of you already know, my approach to solving problems is to either avoid them or to slow things down and think about it until I feel comfortable in my
decision and my reasoning. When in doubt, wait it out, and when you do act feel confident, and be justified in that feeling.
So, when I came across a few lines in this clip, I decided to put on the brakes and think it out a little bit.
Here's the transcript (Violet002_012), commentary will continue below, Violet and I are talking, her responses are in Italics, the segement that troubled me in
blue:
You mentioned some details to me in the past that don't need to go on to the tape right now, but you know what they are and I know what they are... and there have
been times where people haven't always treated you right... and you figured out ways of dealing with it and resisting in that framework.
Now I want you to feel happy and giggly now because you life is permanently altered so that can never happen again.
Smiles
Do you see it?
Nods while smiling
Do you feel it?
Nods while smiling
Do you know it?

Explain why, explain why that's the case.
Nobody can hurt me because nobody deserves to.
Right
No one can make me feel bad, because I deserve to feel good.
Right
No one has the right to hit me, no matter how I act.
Right
No matter what I say it doesn't deserve to be hit for.
Correct. Pleasure... Now remember, with such a strong sense of feeling in this sense, it's important to maintain a degree of balance. Confidence, but not
arrogance. Self assuredness, but not selfishness. Do you understand?
Nods
Not everyone has access to someone who understands her mind, and can put something VERY DEEP AND STRONG IN TO IT [Hypnotic emphasis] that changes their lives for
the better, so it's important to have... you know... a sense of compassion, understanding and caring for other people, but empathy and caring and compassion doesn't
mean going in to the dark places that they're in. It's being able to listen, and to advise, and even when there's no advice that you can give, at least witnessing,
just being there, and projecting a confidence that things can get better and that things will get better, and just letting someone else know that they deserve to be
treated right. That they deserve to be respected and that they too can also be confident and strong and powerful for themselves.
You can have a powerful confidence that will drive you and make it possible for you to be anything that you want to be, but at the same time it's important to have
compassion for others as well, so that when the time is right, they can understand and they can draw off of it, and then you can be an example to them, and their
lives get better, and the more people who do that, the better everyone gets... and that's how the world changes... just a little bit at a time.
Initially, I didn't know how I felt about those lines. Were they too aggressive, did it exceed the scope of the project, was this really something that the viewers
needed to know about, would it diminish their experience? So on and so forth...
In the end, I decided to keep it in for several reasons.
First, the whole point of going through this process at this stage of the project is to clean out negative influences, and do our best to create new belief
structures and behavioral patterns that will prevent their return. This is necessary to explore the landscape of her sexuality without running in to landmines
later, and also since she's going to be spending so much time hypnotized by me, then she should have every tool and every opportunity that I can give to her so that
she can empower herself and choose her fate.
Second, I view some of the things that happend to her in the past as being negative, but I view this clip as being positive. Using erotic hypnosis for more than
just parlor tricks, I am helping her to alter her destiny, in a way that both she and I feel is for the better. Does this gurantee a perfect future? No. There
are no perfect futures. However with hope, and strength, suggestion, and a little luck, it gives her a good chance of having a much more desirable future.
Third, with the number of pornographic portrayals out there that feed the negative aspects, in my opinion, of gender relationships (or same sex relationships), I
wanted to show something that I felt was a positive aspect, of how the seperate genders (or same sex in a different context) can come together to help each other.
I believe strongly in free speech, and the type of porn that other people want to make, as long as all participants are of legal age and willing, is their own
business, and if someone wants to consume that material then that's their own business as well. Freedom of speech is freedom of speach for everyone, not just those
that you agree with. However, on the other side of the coin, this is what I'm about.
Fourth, as a member of an industry that is often under fire on ethical grounds, and is criticized by some for "chewing up people and spitting them out..." I try to
make sure that my work has a clearly defined way of being beneficial to the people involved in the creation of it, and the consumption of it. This is very
important to me, and is the reason why I am proud of my work and sleep soundly at night.
....
So, I know that you all are willing to understand breif hiccups (and trust me, I've got 10 hours of footage in the Violet set, and we're in hour 2.15 at this
clip... and she's coming over in a few hours to continue the project), I understand that you all want to be kept in the loop. So here's what it was, and here were
my thoughts, and now that we're past it, you can expect the updates to continue at an enhanced rate. Hopefully, within the next month I'll be able to get a mac
mini, and let it constantly render video in to quicktime and windows media files, which will drastically increase turnaround time from filming to getting the clips
online. Thanks for your patience everyone, some really cool things are in the works, and I can't wait to bring it to you!
Can anyone recommend any good stage hypnotist shows in Las Vegas?
I live in the UK but am visiting Vegas for 4 nights on Thursday next week (Oct 13) and would love to check out a show. I've seen dozens in the UK so the more way
out the better. Would particularly like to see a female hypnotist as we don't get many of them over here.

Well, I think that the subscription for hiim would be a great gift, but then again I'm biased... :-)
HypnosisFetish.com features some BDSM themes, and the current project that I'm working on with Violet shows erotic hypnosis over time. It's still getting started
up, but I've already got about 10 hours of footage filmed over four sessions, and there is another session in a few days.
The viewers don't know this yet, because I haven't got it up, but last week ended with me talking with Violet about how she feels about BDSM, and I loaned her my
copy of "BDSM 101," for her to read over and to tell me what she thought.
Thanks for dropping by and posting, you are very thoughtful in service to the Master who has you.

Found a little bug in the HypnoFocus view single post routine.
Originally it was bombing out if someone tried to use it without a post id to view. So I went in and fixed that. Unfortunately, I forgot a single character in
the new line of code, and that caused it to be broken if someone used it properly. That's now been fixed, and I've tested it both ways now, so life is good.

"Sorry for the lag. Been swamped with stuff since the begining of last month. Just got a foot hold on most of it and got back online. I got it all my pics and
clips zipped down to 31 megs.... I'm use to sending stuff this size through YiM but I don't have any Webspace. I could break it up and send it through email but
that would be a bit time consuming. Either way email me if you have any ideas on what to do. Oh heh I took a few movie clips from the Serenity panel. Nothing major
(only cause I need to get a bigger mem chip) but something is better than nothing. Out of all the pics my favorite had to be the "Sith Cheerleader." Unfortunately I
didn't have time to make a movie clip of her cheer, but at least she had a cool pose with Vader and the Sith Lord."
Not a problem, believe me I'm not in any position to criticize anyone about lag time...
Feel free to send it to me through Y!Messenger if you want, my user id is: aglot21. I also noticed that a bunch of people were using Flickr to share picts as well...
I got a kick out of seeing a Zombie Rainbow Brite, but wasn't quick with the camera, and never saw her again, and still haven't seen her in anyone's picture
collection...
This morning I found a complete video of the Serenity panel. I didn't get a chance to see it, so I was
happy to find it online...
"Heh I had a couple ideas I was hoping you could use.
1) You managed to make a subject believe she was surrounded in a forrest with faries, so we know it's possible to make them see something that's not there. So how
about making them not see something that is there. Namely, you. I was wondering what kinda response you'd get if you made someone hear you but not see you. Then you
could do the floating object bit."
Yes, the term for it is a Negative Hallucination. Please note that the word "negative" as used here does not refer to a value judgement relating to the subject's
feelings in regards to the experience or it's perceived worth, but instead is used more or less the same as it is in the phrase of "negative reinforcement" (and
"positive reinforcement"). The usage of postive in this context simply refers to something added that was not there before, and the usage of negative in this
context simply refers to something removed that was there before.
I do have plans on using this form of suggestion with Violet in a future session, perhaps this week's, almost certainly in two weeks otherwise. I'm probably not
going to be doing the "floating object bit," because while it's an interesting trick, it also tends to be pretty heavy in cognitive dissonance, which would be in opposition to the gentle style that I'm demonstrating with her.
However, I think you'll find what I am planning to be rather interesting...
"2) The second idea revovles around a visual/physical attachment. Take two ballowns, inflate and place a suggestion that whatever you do to the ballons they
would feel in their breast. However, you don't tell them about it, instead you could just manipulate them while talking to subject and let her figure it out. Maybe
even have the ladies try squeezing them first and see what kinda response they give."
That's a very interesting one, I think I'll have to give that one a shot. It's reminicient of the clit connected to the pocket watch suggestion that I did with
Allison a while back...
"3) Take the word "NO" from someone. What do I mean? Whenever they would say "NO" to a question, they would find themselves stuck saying "Yes" instead. Now ask
them questions that they would of course say "YES" to. ie. "Are you relaxed?" "Do you know what your name is?" "Can you speak English? Then switch to undeniable
"NO" questions. The more impossible and embarressing the better. i.e. "Have you ever done it with a president." You could also give them a desire to come up with a
story for anything that they say yes to, no matter how much they know it's a lie."
I did something like this with Mickey (Natasha) one one of our sessions... I've noticed that while the verbalized response is yes, that the subject's body language
and other forms of non-verbal communication will still be a no. Additionally, I would suspect that the subject would sooner or later find a loophole to verbalize a
"no-like" response, perhaps using a different language, or a different word, such as the convention of military personel to use the word "negative (sir)." In
principle it shouldn't be too difficult to extend the suggestion to account for that... However, if I were going to explore this phenomenon in the future, I would
have to think it over pretty carefully, and probably would be avoiding adult things for the most part. I don't think it would be appropriate to interfere with a
person's ability to say no in such a situation.
On the other hand, it may be a little more ethically safe to do it with the word "yes," instead of "no." However, I would also be hesitant to go this route as well
because then it might cause a subtle amount of interference with a subject's perception of her own motivations when she finds herself saying "no," to my requests of
things that she would normally not have any problem agreeing to, and if this concept becomes internalized, then it could damage rapport, perhaps even creating a
"gut feeling" of suspicion towards me and damage or even ruin my interpersonal relationship with her.
In the process of fixing the HypnosisFetish.com e-mail page, I used
some of the code to add an e-mail notification function to the HypnoFocus.com message board. It will now e-mail me
immediately when a new message is posted and is waiting for moderation. This should improve the turnaround time dramatically, as the old way required me to check
it periodically, and thus added to the delay.
I'm still doing some website maintainance on HypnosisFetish.com as a
result of the migration... I've fixed the site e-mail page... It had the same problem that the HypnoGames.com e-mail page had.
If anyone tried to send me e-mail through the HypnosisFetish.com page over the last couple of weeks, please re-send it to me.
A number of people have e-mailed me to let me know that the complete set list function of HypnosisFetish.com
(http://www.hypnosisfetish.com/preview/list.php/) isn't working. This is a known issue.
When I ported over the code from the old server to the new server, some of it broke. There was a particularly tricky bit of code regarding the clip type
(quicktime, microsoft media format, real player) that was necessary because my earlier work was in all sorts of formats. Since I've moved my earlier work to HypnoGames.com, all the sets on HypnosisFetish.com are now standardized with the same
file format options [Quicktime High, Medium, and Low, Microsoft 400kbps and 175kbps - althogh some of what is labelled as Microsoft 400k is actually 450k, close
enough to be the same for naming purposes].
For the time being, the solution is that I'm going to go through and hard code the pages, just the same as I hard coded the same pages in the member's area.
However, that has to take second priority to getting the new Violet footage captured (mostly done), edited (I'm in hour 2 of 7 right now), and rendered (waiting on
a second computer to arrive to help that process along).
A full announcement is still forthcoming, but the sort version as taken from my Live Journal is:
On Wednesday I finally set things in to motion that would allow me to post the first set of the Violet videos to my website, which I got up on Thursday. I still
haven't made the formal announcement, but this set is unlike anything that I've done in the past because as opposed to doing something akin to an adult county fair
act, it's more of a development over time. I've already done three sessions in about 10 days time, and it's now a regularly scheduled weekly thing. I'm hoping to
demostrate through this work what I consider to be a closer interpretation of the true nature of erotic hypnosis. The first set went live on Thursday, and I'm
hauling ass to get more of the other 6 hours of footage captured, edited, and rendered to quicktime and windows media. A buddy is going to loan me his G5, so
hopefully that should kick the process in to gear a bit. [Note, where it says other six hours, that does not include the first hour which was already edited, bringing the grand total up to the 7 hours I mentioned a
few paragraphs above]
Additionally I'm also sitting on two hours of footage (two different girls, an hour each) that also need to be captured, edited and processed, and those sets will
go up in their entirety as soon as they are processed.
I'm also in the process of lining up a second girl to do the weekly thing, and will let you all know the status of that after it's in progress.
Hypnoslave will be announced when I've got everything else stabilized and back to normal, and as soon as I've made arrangements to work with some subjects that I
feel are as close to a perfect fit as can be found. Developing the new site takes second prioity to getting HypnosisFetish back to normal.
Finally, I'm in the process of setting up a session filmed in front of a live studio audience. This is my first mention of this to anyone outside of my cirlce of
friends in Phoenix. If it materializes the way that I'm envisioning it, I'll be filming in Atlanta. I'll be hosting the program, and performing the hypnosis.
I'll be asking a good friend of mine to be a special guest MC (master of ceremonies, not mind controller, heh) for the program if his schedule permits it. I'll
also be inviting some of the local hypnotists from the community to be special guests, and there are a number of audience members that I'm going to be inviting from
the people out there who I know are in to the interest.... I've also got some ideas on who I am going to be asking to participate as subjects for this event. I'm
exploring late October (perhaps a week before halloween), but in order to be safe in finances and to not push too quickly in the scheduling of this event, it may
end up looking like the first weekend of November (which makes it too bad that Esotericon got cancelled, because it would have been great to do this around that
event). Anyone who is interested in this event, please contact me privately...
So that's the long and the short of what's on my mind right now...
Violet 1 set posted in it's entirety to HypnosisFetish.com. I have a lot more to write about this set, but I'm about to do another session with this model (this
will be the third one in 9 days, and we are scheduled to do one every week). I'll post more information later on today (hopefully, fingers crossed).
Hypnosisfetish.com is finally being migrated to the new server. Please e-mail me if you notice anything not
working. A whole lot more posting and information from me should follow later today...
Sorry for the lag. Been swamped with stuff since the begining of last month. Just got a foot hold on most of
it and got back online. I got it all my pics and clips zipped down to 31 megs.... I'm use to sending stuff this size through YiM but I don't have any Webspace. I

I've completed the migration of HypnoGames.com to the new webserver.
In the process, I discovered that the HypnoGames.com feedback form was broken. It's fixed now. However, I suspect that the HypnosisFetish.com feedback form is
also broken, and will remain so until the completion of it's migration to the new server as well (should be done sometime this week).
With this migration I've made a few changes to the HypnoGames.com website. Specifically in regards to it's relationship with HypnosisFetish.com. When I started
HypnosisFetish a few years ago, it was intended to be a place to try out new things, as well as a mirror site in case of problems with billing companies or servers.
As time went on, the experimental things became my mainstream, and I've managed to work out solutions for the billing issues as well as potential server
problems.
As such I've decided to take this opportunity to split the sites in half, with HypnoGames.com representing my early work (the first few years of my videos) and
HypnosisFetish.com representing my modern work. This has a number of advantages. First, it allows me to make a stylistic and thematic break between my early work
and my modern work. Second, it allows me to collect my early work and finalize it's presentation and for all intents and purposes gives me a sense of completion
and closure to the first chapter in my online erotic hypnosis work. Thrid, by splitting things up it makes it a lot easier for me to manage everything. for example
the earlier work had different file formats and bit rates. Finally, it allows me to drop the price, down to 19.95 for a 30 day membership, with no recurring
options because HypnoGames.com will not generally feature new material (although it may from time to time have old material reprocessed, or never shown old material
added).
HypnosisFetish.com will continue to be updated with my new work (with a massive update processing right now as we speak).
Aaron, your comments alongside David's and you both have me almost . . . okay, not almost but really yes in
this instance . . . regretting living in Asia where we don't have cool cons like that. I am also mega looking forward to Serenity (although I've seen zero
publicity about it here so it may not even hit this side of the pond or if it does it'll come later). The Buffy show thing sounds like a hoot and a half. - Brian
Fellow posters and readers. Our government works by our elected officials representing us and passing laws on our behalf. They make their decisions based on what
they think we want. The problem is that most of the time all they hear is religious and political extremists groups screaming and pounding at their doors. If WE
don't tell them what we want then they have to go by what the Political Action Groups (PAGs) tell them. No politician is born with a position on pollution or
technology laws. Did you know that 99.8% of all complaints to the FCC are from a single group?
They are responsible for Janet Jackson being fined $500,000 for 3 seconds of nipple jewelry.
Remember a month or 2 ago when there was a LIVE car chase that ended with a guy being shot dead in the street? You want to
know how much the TV stations were fined for that? ZERO.
I could give dozens of examples of extreme violence being shows on public television without any complaints, but when 2 women kissed (the Ellen show a couple years
ago) it gets on the front page of newspapers and talkshows. A month ago Oprah had an episode with a crack addict cutting herself up with a piece of glass ON CAMERA;
number of complaints to the FCC: probably ZERO. If you like things the way they are and want to keep your liberties then drop your government a line once in a while
just to say, "Keep it up! Great Job!" Or tell the FCC you would like more intelligent programming once in a
while and less blood & violence.
If our Government is going to represent us then they MUST know what we think. Send your elected officials emailshouse.gov, WRITE them letters. Not just on upcoming legislation, but on existing laws (new 2257 open office regulations (little help Aaron?)) as
well because laws CAN BE REPEALED. Remember this case a couple years ago?
They might not read every letter we write them, but they DO COUNT THEM. A couple hundred letters will change their votes. I have made a couple letters about things that concern and will affect Aaron, his sites, and us. Rewrite them a bit if you
like, I have provided a list of talking points, print them out (if you don't have the time to handwrite them if your writing isn't very good - mine isn't), SIGN
your name (link to picture of the actual letter I will send to my senators) and send your Representatives a letter.
You already pay at least hundreds of $s every year on taxes. So let me ask you this would you rather pay another 25% more for Aaron's sites or would you rather
spend $2 or $3 (in stamps) a year more to tell your government what to do with your money you already gave them?

them. No politician is born with a position on pollution or technology laws. Did you know that 99.8% of all complaints to the FCC (fcc.gov) are from a single
group (http://www.parentstv.org/)? They are responsible for Janet Jackson being fined $500,000 for 3 seconds of nipple jewelry
(http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=janet+jackson+nipple+fine&btnG=Search). Remember a month or 2 ago when there was a LIVE car
chase that ended with a guy being shot dead in the street (http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=live+car+chase+shooting&btnG=Search)?
You want to know how much the TV stations were fined for that? ZERO.
I could give dozens of examples of extreme violence being shows on public television without any complaints, but when 2 women kissed (the Ellen show a
couple years ago) it gets on the front page of newspapers and talkshows. A month ago Oprah had an episode with a crack addict cutting herself up with a piece of
glass ON CAMERA; number of complaints to the FCC: probably ZERO. If you like things the way they are and want to keep your liberties then drop your government a
line once in a while just to say, "Keep it up! Great Job!" Or tell the FCC (http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/ecfs/Upload/) you would like more intelligent programming
once in a while and less blood & violence.
If our Government is going to represent us then they MUST know what we think. Send your elected officials emails (senate.gov and house.gov), WRITE them
letters(http://www.house.gov/writerep/, senate.gov). Not just on upcoming legislation (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:S.1507:), but on existing laws
(link: new 2257 open office regulations (little help Aaron?)) as well because laws CAN BE REPEALED. Remember this case a couple (link:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=texas+sodomy+laws&btnG=Google+Search) years ago? They might not read every letter we write them, but they DO COUNT THEM. A
couple hundred letters will change their votes. I have made several letters (http://www.geocities.com/theseconddarkage/) about things that concern and will affect
Aaron, his sites, and us. Rewrite them a bit if you like, I have provided a list of talking points, print them out (if you don't have the time to handwrite them if
your writing isn't very good - mine isn't), SIGN your name (link to picture of the actual letter I will send to my senators) and send your Representatives a letter.
You already pay at least hundreds of $s every year on taxes. So let me ask you this would you rather pay another 25% more for Aaron's sites or would you
rather spend $2 or $3 (in stamps) a year more to tell your government what to do with your money you already gave them?
p.s. how do you make links, just add regular html script?

Hey Meachy, I wish that we could have met up, that would have been cool.
DragonCon was a blast. I'm still gathering together my writeups and stuff, but there's already stuff on live
journal about it.
I know what you mean about the picts. If you have any posted anywhere, let me know either publicly or privately. I've got the bulk of my pictures on my LJ. One
of my personal highlights was meeting Hattie, who played the female version of Holly on Red Dwarf. She was awesome, and it totally rocked to meet her.
I wanted to go to the Serentiy cast thing, but the line was so long that I decided to let it go. I'm really excited about the movie coming out later this month. I
was excited to hear Mercedes, who played Harmony on Buffy the Vampire Slayer talk. Also, the Buffy Horror Picture Show (Once more with feeling) was way incredibly
cool. Then, of course, there were the parties and all the hypnosis that I did over the weekend.
Yeah, ATL has a pretty cool and active group of hypnotists. I always enjoy hanging out with them when I'm out there, and make it a point to go out there at the
drop of a hat, any hat really. The next big even that we're planning for is Frolicon next Easter weekend. If anything else
comes up on the radar, I'll post it here.

that the people who join youre sites even know that its here by the way nice job with stephanie had me laffing all the way i like that whole freeze chicken gold

hi Aaron cant wait for the new web site to start it seems like we've been waiting for a long time im on the
edge of my seat here trying not to fall of well all the best and god speed
If you are reading this post, then DNS has finished switching over to the new server.
HypnoFocus.com has finally been switched over to the new server, and I've rewritten a lot of the backend code.
Some parts of the website that were archaic and have gone without re-programming for years have been taken offline, parts like the member's list. Also, the UK
message board is down for now, since the traffic there has been extremely low volume..
If you notice anything strange or not working, let me know.
Also, I've made a few slight design modifications, let me know what you think of them...
Looks like the hypnofocus.com migration is going to take a few days longer than I had initially anticipated, on
account that I have to switch DNS registrars in the process. The website should be in that crazy "in-between" place sometimes around Monday to Wednesday, and the
migration, including upgrades, should be complete around Thursday or Friday.
It's finally time to migrate HypnoFocus.com to the new webserver. Things
are pretty well set up, and the bulk of the data is already moved over. There will be a brief period while DNS is switching over where some of the BBS posts might
get out of synch, but I should be able to fix that with little difficulty, and now that we're past message 900 for the conference, it won't be that big of a deal if
a few messages get out of synch.
Some of the secondary programs on the website might be non-functional or semi-functional in the transition, but I'll take care of those as I find them.
I'll also be using this opportunity to correct some of the program flaws that currently exist in the system. A few programs, like the user list, will probably be
retired. Also, I plan on implementing an upgraded look and feel (It probably won't be a radical change, just a little bit of polish)
Most of this should happen over the weekend, and with a little luck, everything should be migrated and back to normal by Monday.

Thanks HypnoDude, I'm glad that you're getting a kick out of the new set. There was some pretty amazing stuff in it, and I can't wait to talk with everyone about
it...
I am back to work, and I'm hoping to make a few announcements soon concerning production level stuff... However, they are still in the pipe, and will still be
another week or so off. I'm getting settled in to my new place and my new lifestyle. I'm starting to fall in to a routine now where Monday starts with recovering
from the weekend. Then in the middle of Monday night I get to work, doing a lot of programming stuff, and server stuff, and video editing stuff. Things stay
pretty domestic up through late Thursday early Friday. Then on Friday night, I take off my programmer / editor hat, and put on my public relations / party guy
hypnotist hat. The weekend goes high octane, and I go out there and have a good time and hand out a stack of business cards. Then on Sunday night I try to reflect
upon the previous week in preparation for when I recover from the weekend and get going again on a new week on Monday night.
As far as the government, it's all part of the NeoConservative extremist agenda to aggressively attack everything that they don't agree with, all at the same time.
This agenda serves their political purposes, but is extremely bad for the county.
To quote Londo Mollari on Babylon 5:
"Only a fool fights a war on two fronts. Only their heir to the kingdom of idiots fights a war on 13."
I'll post more information on how to fight this new legislation, as it becomes available to me.

The day that happens, I would emigrate out of the United States, and be an international producer of porn. I wouldn't subject myself or my clients to such an
outrageous and exclusive tax.

That session was pretty awesome. We both had a blast, and I was totally jazzed for days afterwards. I'll be editing the second tape worth of material pretty soon,
and as soon as the descriptions are written up, I'll post them here to give you all an idea of what's coming next. Suffice it to say, some of it is unlike anything
that I've done on the website before. I think most of you will be pleasantly surprised. :-)

Yes, this is a bug in the software. I've been having trouble hunting it down on this server. However, HypnoFocus.com is going to be migrating to it's new server
shortly, and when that happens I'll be rewriting some of the software, including those routines.
Hm... I just saw this new show called Mind Freak yesterday. It's pretty much a street performance magic
show. I have to admit the illusions were pretty good, but one thing kinda struck me as odd. The illusionist, Chris Angel, just walked up a a group of four
people, amongst a crowd of a few dozen, and asked them had any of them been hypnotized. I'm not sure if it was staged or not, but he seemed to pick the right
group of people seeing that one had been. Up till then I kinda thought it's rare to run across someone who has. He put the lady under and had her friends hold
her up then let go. She floated in the air for about 30 seconds after that, in which he motioned for her to receed back to the ground then wake up. Anyway I
didn't have a stop watch on, but if I had to guess-timate the actual time of induction, it had to be all of 8 seconds. Is that even possible for a real hypnotic
trance? Especially for someone that is supposed to be someone you've never met before. And for that matter just randomly looking out into a crowd and spotting
someone that you believe has to be a former receipent of hypnotism seems a bit of a stretch. Pretty cool to watch him pull the trick off however. Heh, I guess I'm
still stuck in the "Figure out how he did it," mode.
I guess now that I have the free time I'll get to checking out the new Gothic H. stuff.

Something everyone who enjoys Aaron's work, or other tasteful online pornography should be aware of
It�s Official: Porn Tax, Mandatory Age Verification Go Before House and Senate
http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Articles&Action=View_Article&Content_ID=234443
These hosers are proposing a 25% TAX ON ALL INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY! This on top of all the restrictions they just recently slammed online producers with.
a google search for "Senator Tom Carper tax online porn" will turn up plenty of results (if I need to tell you to remove the quotations you don't deserve to be
allowed on the internet).
People, Fellow Netizens, if you cherish your online freedoms I suggest you start fighting for them and speak up for them. Let you government know you are not
Puritans.
The first tape of Gothic Heather 3 is processed. The windows media player format files of the last clip, are
rendering right now, and should probably be done in about an hour or so. There's two tapes left, and I'll get those ready ASAP, for a nice seamless transisiton
through the set, which should last through the month of August on HypnosisFetish.com / HypnoGames.com.
In the meanwhile, here's the clip description list from the first segment of Gothic Heather 3:
Clip 001 2:33;02 (7-27-05)
Before we begin the session, I have a little pre-shoot chit chat with Gothic Heather. I then direct my photographer to take a few publicity pictures of her. As we
do this, I lead in to the induction process seamlessly.
Clip 002 3:48;23 (7-28-05)
The induction continues. Gothic Heather is in my arms, going in to a deep and focused trance. Notice how she quickly and instantly responds to my command to stand
feet together, hands at her side. She snaps right to attention without giving it any thought.
Clip 003 5:07;10 (7-29-05)
I now use hypnotic suggestion to influence Gothic Heather's feelings. I begin by suggesting that she feels happy, joy and bliss. As these feelings wash over her,
I slip in that she feels aroused as well. This suggestion takes rather well. Focusing on my words, my words bring her pleasure. I then move in to a progressive
relaxation exercise, however, since I know how she will respond, I replace the "relax" command with "orgasm now."
Clip 004 4:38;10 (7-30-05)
I continue the progressive relaxation exercise with Gothic Heather, and find that she has a lot of stress and tension inside her. I release her from this, and take
her deeper in to hypnosis.
Clip 005 3:29;20 (8-1-05)
In this clip, I tell Gothic Heather about a cool hypnotic experience that I had socially one night. However, before I begin, I use hypnotic wording to create a
link between Gothic Heather and the girl in my story, and as she identifies with the girl in my story, she feels what she felt and does what she did. This story is
about the idea of mandatory cuddle time.
Clip 006 4:13;28 (8-2-05)
I wake Gothic Heather up and we talk about how I modified the progressive relaxation exercise with the orgasms, and I mention that this is something that I
developed with my girlfriend. I also touch up on the mandatory cuddle time trigger. I then place her back in to a trance state, and suggest to her that every time
I say the phrase, "brave new world," that she's going to feel that she is seductive and sexy and that she wants to get the attention of the man that she's talking
to, in the way that they arrange their body, and the way that they talk, the way that they express themselves, and the expressions that they show on their face. I
suggest that it will be perfectly natural, that she'll remember doing it, that it will be her idea, of course, but that it won't even occur to her that hypnosis has
anything to do with it, that she will just feel perfectly in place.
Clip 007 7:26;26 (8-3-05)
Gothic Heather and I talk about our favorite future dystopia novels. Mine is, "A Brave New World," of course... This goes on for a bit, and surprisingly enough,
all I seem to want to do is compare "A Brave New World," with every novel that she mentions. The conversation is on the verge of getting pretty heavy there for a
moment, but as I keep on using the trigger, Gothic Heather becomes more and more turned on and more interested in being sexual than political, and I'm having a
great time watching the process.
Clip 008 4:05;18 (8-4-05)
An interlude. I talk with Gothic Heather a bit about how she's feeling. Then we pose for a picture, before I sink her deeper in to the trance state. Her puppy
barks a little bit, and I have to reassure her and take her deeper again. I then refresh her levels of arousal.
Clip 009 5:34;21 (8-5-05)
Gothic Heather is standing at attention in a trance state, and I repeatedly use her arousal triggers to amplify her feelings. I then give her the suggestion that
she feels so aroused and turned on that she wants to start taking off her clothes. In the process we slip back in to our literary discussion. While we're doing
this, she asks me what I've done to her, and if I made her have more orgasms. I then snap her back in to the trance state, and give her the impression that she
really wants to seduce me.
Clip 010 2:46;18 (8-6-05)
I give Gothic Heather a false memory of looking forward to having the hypnotic orgasms, and about how wonderful they feel, and that it turned her on very much.
Then she wondered what it would be like to talk with me about them. This caused her to feel giggly and playful. She asks me what my stance is on orgasms, and
this feels like the type of question that you ask a politician when they are running for office, so I run with it for a little bit...
Clip 011 4:24;03 (8-7-05)
I ask Gothic Heather if she enjoys the hypnotic orgasms that I give her. She says that she does, and then she asks if I ever get hypnotic orgasms. As I talk about
what I get out of hypnotizing people, I lead in to a powerful connection with her, and of course, increased arousal.
Clip 012 4:32;09 (8-8-05)
I suggest that Gothic Heather feels floaty pleasure. I suggest that right now, all she knows is the present, and that the present is beautiful. It's warm, and
comfortable, and soft and cuddly, it's a perfect moment that lasts forever. I then suggests that she looks in to my eyes and orgasms, as she feels all these
things. Then I suggest that she doesn't need her bra right now. We have another distraction from her puppy, so I do another deepening exercise with her. I then
have her focus on existing in the now, in the greatest moment ever.
Clip 013 3:49;08 (8-9-05)
I share with Gothic Heather something that I've learned in my travels and explorations. Many people spend their lives looking towards or trying to attain a goal,
and while they do that, they wait for time to pass while they wait for that goal. However, in even the smallest drops of time that we can be aware of, there is
infinite potential to experience the greatest sensations that we can possibly imagine. I use hypnotic suggestion to help her to understand this. I then have her
look deep in to my eyes as she feels these things, and I also slip in the idea of perfect submission, after perfect arousal. The effect is quite noticeable. I
then trigger her arousal again, and ask her to express how she feels. I then freeze her in to a perfect moment while I change the tapes in the cameras.
I know that there was a problem on Wednesday night / Thursday morning when I put them up... but that problem
should have been corrected on Thursday night.
It's coming down fine on my browser.
Try refreshing your cache, and if that doesn't work, let me know and we'll troubleshoot it further.
Is anybody else having a problem accessing parts 1 and 2 of Heather 3 from hypnosisfetish.com? I keep getting
a message saying the file doesn't exist (whether I try quicktime, windows media, whatever).
Of course, the third clip is so amazing as to make up for it, but it would still be nice to see the first two. :-)
I'm going through my feedback e-mail backlog right now... Pretty much everyone who has e-mailed me in the past
two months should get a response within the next 48 hours. After that time, if you are still waiting for a response to a private e-mail, please re-send it to me,
as it somehow didn't make it to me, or some how got lost or misplaced.
There are a few questions that have popped up repeatedly, so I'll go ahead and post them here (with their answers).
1. When will HypnoSlave.com be online? How will it affect HypnoGames.com / Hypnosisfetish.com?
HypnoSlave.com should be online within about a month, with a little luck. Develpment of HypnoSlave.com had to take a back seat to getting HypnoGames.com and
HypnosisFetish.com back on track. Now that I'm set back up, and things are moving along, I can resume work on it.
HypnoSlave.com won't really affect HypnoGames.com / HypnosisFetish.com. HG/HF will continue along it's normal theme and production schedule. HypnoSlave will have
it's own theme and schedule. Perhaps there will be a degree of crossover from time to time (almost certainly in the beginning, while it's still getting started),
however ultimately HypnoGames.com / HypnosisFetish.com is about exploration, where HypnoSlave.com will be about influence.
2. When will HypnoGames.com / HypnosisFetish.com be updated.
New updates will appear on these websites on Wednesday July 27, with Gothic Heather 3. Additionally, over time, more sessions will appear postdated to fill in the
gap made by the recent dry spell, where I was busy attending to other issues, and was unable to do anything new until those issues resolved. I didn't like being in
that position, but it was something that was unanticipated. Now it's over, and I'm back to work, and it's time to put that behind us.
3. What about VHS / DVDs?
I'm getting ready to start to resume mail orders of VHS videos and DVDs. I'm still considering options for online processing (right now I don't really have any),
and most likely it's going to need to take the form of mail order, including a photocopy of government issued id (all personal data can be blacked out, except for
the label of the id, state driver's license for example, the full name, which needs to match the order, and the date of birth. I don't want your social security
number, or anything like that. I hate asking for id at all, because I don't like to infringe on anyone's privacy, however, I need to be able to prove that you are
18 years of age or older). I'm in a position to provide about 70 or 80 percent of my library on VHS and DVD, although each new title is going to take some work,
how much depends on what point in time it was originally filmed and edited. Furthermore, under the new 2257 regulations, I now have to change all pre-existing
videos to comply with the regulations.
Anyone who is interested in VHS or DVD videos, should e-mail me with the specific sets that they'd like to purchase. I'll be determining the order of video
reprocessing based upon popularity and demand of videos.
The e-mail switchover for HypnoGames.com seemed to go over pretty well. All the MX servers that my lookup
utility checks is reporting the switch complete. Also, while the website is still on the original server, it's now using different DNS servers, which should make
the migration much quicker when it's time for the final step.
Now I'm doing the same thing with HypnosisFetish.com. For North America it should be done and over with before most people wake up.
Aside from that, I'm busy editing and cranking out Gothic Heather 3 clips. The first of which should appear online on Wednesday.
Alan wrote in Message #875 "The women you hypnotise to strip, orgasm etc. would need to be the type of women who would do this anyway without embarassment even if they were not hypnotised.
This would be similar to a person acting a role on stage in hypnosis. They will do it if it doesn't violate their morals and they are not embarassed by it. They
will however do things despite thinking they would not do them ie. they believe they can resist the hypnotist. Do you believe your clients would strip, orgasm
anyway or do they,although they have agreed to their being asked to do it, do it anyway when they are sure that they will not? Of course you would never do this to
people without their permission but do you believe that people have done this unethically and got people so to act ie. is it possible to violate a person's morals
by trickery etc using hypnosis.
The women that I hypnotize for my websites do need to have something in them, to one degree or another that would cause them to choose to get involved with an
erotic hypnosis video session where I will use hypnosis to cause them to take off their clothes, orgasm, and do other things of an erotic nature.
Having said that, I would say that a number of them do experience some degree of embarrasment at one point or another, so I don't believe that embarrasment is a
limiting factor. Sometimes this embarrasment is caused by specific hypnotic suggestion designed to create that feeling. Othertimes, a subject will be so relaxed
and comfortable and at peace, that they don't even really notice that they are taking off their clothes, and only feel embarrased afterwards. Then in some
circumstances, the feeling of embarrasment comes in the beginning during the induction. Because there are so many different types of embarrasment possible, and
some is beneficial to the process and some detracts from the process, it's up to me to notice, influence, monitor, and control it. Much of my style is based around
managing this as it appears, to prevent it from interfering with the hypnotic process, and to manage it's affect on the subject so that it can be playful and fun,
without overwhelming the subject.
There have been cases where subjects have found that hypnotic phenomena affect them, although they believed that they wouldn't. Sometimes the subjects go along for
the ride and enjoy the experience, and other times subjects can develop cold feet and not want to continue. If they aren't having a good time, then I stop the
video, because it doesn't make for good end product.
In response to the question of whether it is possible to violate a person's morals by trickery using hypnosis... that's a very interesting question... What does
it mean to violate? How strongly do a person's morals affect their behavior. What role does conflicting desires play? Etc... I could write a book on the
subject...
Stinger Message wrote in #881: " I was just wondering if you and Gothic Heather are friends outside of doing these shoots. I've noticed that you use her image a lot i.e. as one of the previews
for hypnosisfetish and on the front page of hypnogames and hypnoslave. Or do you use her just because she is an incredibly beautiful girl?"
Hi Stinger,
Yes, Gothic Heather and I are indeed friends outside of the normal shooting environment. She used to come to our parties from time to time, when my photographer
and I shared an apartment a few years ago. (Wow, has it already been that long? 1 full year lease, plus 6 months living on the road, and now a new apartment since
those days...) I've been travelling, and she moved to another state, so we don't really bump in to each other very often anymore, however we do still keep in
contact, and always look forward to doing these sessions.
I've always felt very comfortable working with her, and she's always responded very well to my style. Additionally, she's a very attractive and photogenic and
expressive woman, and as such, I have a number of still photographs of her... so this combination of attraction to her combined with a large supply of still images
to work with is a big part of the reason why I use her image so much.
"Whoa that's great news. I haven't been online in while, stuff flying around all over the place, so logging on to see this did brighten things up a bit. I'm glad
to see you got your apartment and all taken care of. And as for Gothic Heather, nice choice. Her reactions are highly memorable. I think it's a toss up between her
and Allison as for most responsive. Can't wait to see how things turn out.
Oh by the way... broke ground on my lot last week. Now I just have to deal with contracters. Next to dealing with the pain the city caused, this should be a piece
of cake.
Welcome back"
Thanks Meach, it's good to be back at work.
I'm in the apartment, and I got my bed out of storage yesterday (which means I won't have to sleep on the floor anymore, something that I really don't enjoy doing,
because it doesn't feel like you've gotten any sleep at all, and you tend to wake up more sore and tired than when you went to sleep). All my utilities are set up,
with DSL coming in a few more days. Fortunately, internet access is readily available in Phoenix, so I'm not dead in the water.
The important thing is that I have my desk and workbench set up properly, and I can actually be productive in an efficient manner.
Gothic Heather rocks, and is one of my most favorite hypnotic subjects as well as models. Allison was another favorite of mine. I would have to agree with you on
them in terms of responsiveness... One thing is for sure, anyone who has enjoyed either Allison or Gothic Heather in the past should throughly enjoy the most
recent session.
Congrats on the groundbreaking and good luck with the contractors. I've never had to deal with construction personally, but I've spent many hours listening to my
friends tell stories about their experiences in that area, and it sounds like it's a very challenging way to spend one's time. :-)
The new Gothic Heather footage is coming along nicely. I've got most of it imported, and should be doing the
first batch of edits, and processing for the web today (Tuesday). I'm trying to get them up as fast as possible, because I know that you all have been waiting to
see this.
I've done some DNS work on hypnogames.com. I had to shuffle around how I was handling it, in preparation for it's migration to a new server. In the meantime, as a
preliminary step, I've already redirected it's e-mail to the new server. I don't anticipate any loss of data... but then again, when you tinker with DNS, it's easy
for that sort of thing to happen. Of course, it takes a few hours to notice...
It should go relatively easy, and when it's done and I'm certain that there's nothing unexpected, I'll to the same to HypnosisFetish.com and Hypnofocus.com.
Whoa that's great news. I haven't been online in while, stuff flying around all over the place, so logging on
to see this did brighten things up a bit. I'm glad to see you got your apartment and all taken care of. And as for Gothic Heather, nice choice. Her reactions are
highly memorable. I think it's a toss up between her and Allison as for most responsive. Can't wait to see how things turn out.
Oh by the way... broke ground on my lot last week. Now I just have to deal with contracters. Next to dealing with the pain the city caused, this should be a
piece of cake.
I was just wondering if you and Gothic Heather are friends outside of doing these shoots. I've noticed that
you use her image a lot i.e. as one of the previews for hypnosisfetish and on the front page of hypnogames and hypnoslave. Or do you use her just because she is an
incredibly beautiful girl?
Good news everyone, I just finished a three hour long shoot with Gothic Heather. It rocked.
I've got two more shoots tentatively scheduled this week, one of them with another returning subject. More on that after it happens. We're working on getting a
fourth shoot scheduled as well. So we should be in a pretty good position to get a whole lot of footage up real quick to make up for that dry spell. More details
on that as they become available.
In other news, I should be moving in to my new place tomorrow, which should help things move along much faster.
We're in the home stretch now, and the finish line is in sight. I want to thank everyone for their patience during these changing times. Fortunately there haven't
been a bunch of mass arrests or wholesale slaughter of the industry, so now it's time to get back to work.
"Apple made the default configuration of postfix bind to localhost for security reasons. This would work well for a workstation, but would stink for a mail server:)
Love your site!"
Thank you for the compliments. :-)
I understand why they did it, and I agree with their decision. I just wish that I would have figured it out sooner, hehe :-)
Apple made the default configuration of postfix bind to localhost for security reasons. This would work well
for a workstation, but would stink for a mail server:) Love your site!
It's my policy not to announce shoots, until they are done and over. But I will say that I'm back in the
studio, getting prepared for a shoot very shortly, with the most popular subject that I've ever had. :-) Feel free to speculate.
I've been fighting with my new web server's SMTP and POP3 servers for a few weeks now (SMTP is how email gets
moved around from computer to computer, and POP3 is a way for end users to access that e-mail). After endless wasted hours and considerable frustration, I decided
to give it another shot again last night... Several hours in to this session, I finally come across an obscure line in the Postfix configuration file...
# THE FOLLOWING DEFAULTS ARE SET BY APPLE
#
# bind to localhost only
inet_interfaces = localhost
GRRRRRR.... There is an entire section in the config file about network settings and what not, and then this thing is burried all the way at the end. Meanwhile
I've been wondering why my firewall was blocking port 25... evidently it wasn't...
Needless to say, shortly after I discovered this, and things started to come together, and SMTP came together, and then shortly after that POP3 came together, and
all was good in the universe. Now what this means is I can migrate all my e-mail to the new server, and then I can migrate my database, then I can begin the long
drawn out process of migrating the software backend.
On other fronts, I've finally received final confirmation of my new apartment being available tomorrow. A July 23 move in date for an apartment that I arranged in
June before leaving Amsterdam... Just a random situation where something that should have been a cake walk turning in to a nightmare. At any rate, soon I'll be
able to bring my bed out of storage, and get a decent night's sleep, and then I'll bring my desk out of storage and get some serious work done. It's not easy to
run a business while couch surfing, and the new 2257 regulations are clear about the issue of having an address that isn't a post office box... so I haven't been
able to do any new production.
Speaking of new production, in a few hours I'm working with someone to do my first shoot in a while. She's someone that I've worked with before, and is our
visitor's all time favorite. I won't say any names until after it's over, but I think everyone is going to be pretty happy with tonight's shoot. I also have three
more scheduled before the end of the weekend.
So in short, to summarize my life right now:
Finally moving in to my place (which is also my office), server migration finally over a hump that's held it back from being completed, new photo shoot with an all
time favorite, and more photo shoots in the queue. Time to get things back on track!
The women you hypnotise to strip, orgasm etc. would need to be the type of women who would do this anyway without embarassment even if they were not hypnotised.
This would be similar to a person acting a role on stage in hypnosis. They will do it if it doesn't violate their morals and they are not embarassed by it. They
will however do things despite thinking they would not do them ie. they believe they can resist the hypnotist. Do you believe your clients would strip, orgasm
anyway or do they,although they have agreed to their being asked to do it, do it anyway when they are sure that they will not? Of course you would never do this to
people without their permission but do you believe that people have done this unethically and got people so to act ie. is it possible to violate a person's morals
by trickery etc using hypnosis.
My sympathies and regards go out to the UK members of the erotic hypnosis community (and everyone else over
there as well, of course). I hope everyone and their friends and families made it through the tube incident okay.
"Can't help but wonder where the line is drawn that determines exploiter to exploitee."
It seems like the business model of the Girls Gone Wild people is to accept the occassional lost lawsuit to be just another business expense. Sure they pay out 60
grand every once in while to a girl who claims not to have realized what was going on. With the frequency of these publicized lawsuits, that opens the door for
models to potentially plan on doing this (I'm not saying that they all do that, but I'm also not saying that it's impossible that it happens that way). However, as
long as there's no criminal liability, if the GGW people make several milion dollars from a video, and have very little expense over the price of their camera crew,
editing staff, DVD replication and distribution, and television advertising, then they are still going to turn a nice proft, even including the occassional lost
lawsuit.
I would never run my business that way. If I don't have photocopies of ID and signed concent forms, I don't want to do the shoot, or have or sell that
product.
Here is another reason why I wouldn't even consider using footage that didn't have a signed model release
form... (Not to mention the fact that I'm seriously allergic to filming naked women without photocopies of proof of ID)
Hm... I guess I'm a lil old school when it comes to believing it should be the purpose of the federal government to step in to protect the lil guy from entities
larger than it. Also to have laws that enforce those protections when necessary. It's a basic belief that doesn't change with the passing wind. However, what's
described in that article shows there should be an exception. Anyone that places themselves in an unfavorable situation with intent to defraud or setup someone
deserves the outcome of their deeds. I'll admit the studio showed poor judgement in using them without the proper documentation, but two wrongs shouldn't make a
right (and by right I mean them getting 60g) What they did can be compared to a parent putting a ribbon on their kids' forehead and dropping them off at Neverland
Ranch, only to hope for the worst.
Can't help but wonder where the line is drawn that determines exploiter to exploitee.
They don't make online hemp clothing stores keep a physical office front so the feds can raid them anytime to
make sure they aren't secretly growing pot on the side. They don't make online vitamin supplement stores keep a front so they can stop by to make sure they aren't
selling crack or extacy after hours. They don't force home-brew local bands selling their homemade CDs keep a physical store open so the RIAA can send their goons
to make sure they aren't 'pirating' other music. Do they? Do you think they should make local organic farms keep a veggie-stall open 20 hours a week to the DOA can
drop by to make sure they aren't using any pesticides. In Nevada, where prostitution is legal, the prostitutes, male and female, have to be tested EVERY week for
STDs, but they don't make them open an office so the police can stop by and make sure they are keeping enough condoms in their back pocket at all times.
Yet for some reason they think they can specifically target adult content providers and order them to keep an office open 20 hours a week so they can stop by
anytime just in case they are committing a crime. In the USA we require the government to have warrants (or reasonable suspicion - like hearing screaming and
gunshots) to be able to enter someone's property and search them. Yet, somehow they don't think the due process of law applies to adult content providers?
Keeping an office open 20 hours a week means everytime Aaron, and other adult producers, wants to go on a camping trip, or take a vacation away from home, or visit
family, or get in a car accident and spend a couple days in the hospital he has to PAY someone to keep the physical store open. Either that or close the store
ANYTIME he can't spent 20 hours a week at home. This law doesn't do ANYTHING useful like requiring actors to use condoms at all times. All it does is make small
businesses keep a store open so the Feds can come by anytime and harass them without due process or due cause.
Aaron, is it possible for you to list your hours as 00:00 to 07:00, you know, when you are sleeping? Just leave a light on next to the records cabinet to prove your
office is 'open'. Then you can write off the "'expense of keeping your office open" on your taxes.
People, write your senators and other elected representatives. Enough letters WILL change their votes. I for one am going to renew my subscription to your site and
make a donation to the Free Speech Coalition.
p.s. wish you success on the European business building trips. I am sure Europeans love controlling beautiful women just as much as they do here in America.
Here is another reason why I wouldn't even
consider using footage that didn't have a signed model release form... (Not to mention the fact that I'm seriously allergic to filming naked women without
photocopies of proof of ID)
I see the work of the Hypnofetish and soon the Hypno slave hreat work But as a 27 year old male our there lady
hypnotist out there doing the same things I only wish to submit my self along those lines do with as you wish pictures video net i could care less the concept is
great who out there is thuinking along those lines
I moved several of my domains over to the new server today. If anyone notices anything strange, just let me
know. HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish haven't been switched over yet.
"The theory that the mind works like a computer, in a series of distinct stages, was an important steppingstone in cognitive science, but it has outlived its
usefulness, concludes a new Cornell University study. Instead, the mind should be thought of more as working the way biological organisms do: as a dynamic
continuum, cascading through shades of grey."
The new server is coming along nicely. It should perform much better than the old one, and it will give me a
chance to clean up my systems and my sites a bit. It's also going to cost me a lot less (the place that I've been hosting at for years has been practically raping
me for bandwidth this last year). That's going to free up a lot of resources, as well as give me some security in case something catastrophically bad happens in
the future.
There may be some brief delays or service interruptions over the course of the next week or so, when I move DNS settings from old to new server. Also there's going
to be some restructuring of how HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish interact. Hypnogames is going to be moved to a pay by chosen set, for a much lower fee, and
HypnosisFetish will maintain it's current setup, with a few modifications. More on this will follow as the details get more specific.
Also, I can't go in to much more detail at this time, however, another really big thing is scheduled to occur, that should cause a lot of content to appear on the
websites very soon. I can't give much more details at this point, but the next update is going to be a mega update, unlike anything ever done on the websites in
their five year history.
Now that some progress has been made by the Free Speech Coalition against the DOJ in their unreasonable new regulations, designed to harrass people like me out of
business, and to silence our free speech, I'm in a position to get back to work.
I want to thank everyone who has stood by me through these difficult times, and encourage you all to keep an eye on hypnofocus, and I'll keep you as best informed
as I possibly can.
"Interesting philosophical discussions aside, I'm wondering if the members of the hypno fetish site will be receiving a refund for 2.5 months and counting
without updates? Charging $ without providing a product may lead to other legal problems!"
No, there will not be any refunds. Any member of the website is free to cancel their membership at any time. I've made several posts indicating that right now
things are moving really slowly, and have gone as far as to encourage people to cancel their memberships if they are not happy about this.
Furthermore, implying that product is not being provided is not correct. Any member of HypnoGames.com and HypnosisFetish.com has access to something along the
lines of 60 hours of material on the sites with their membership.
Finally, you may want to reconsider your vague threat of "other legal problems." I've spent quite a bit of time living in a world of nothing but the threat of
legal problems, and as such have started to accumulate resources to deal with such things. I'm fully prepared to act quickly, and decisevely in the face of threats
of that nature from any source, and not as the happy-go-lucky nice guy that I project.
Having said that, I've got things in the works right now to make things up to my loyal members. However, instead of filming new material yesterday, I devoted my
time to getting included in the Free Speech Coalition injunction against the Department of Justice. While I wasn't doing that, I was working on the new server that
is going to be hosted outside of the United States (for my own piece of mind), and when I wasn't doing that I was checking out these European nude beaches to both
a) improve my moralle, and b) see if I can't scout out some new talent.
However, I will say this again. Anyone who is sitting there getting angrier or impatient by the day, please simply cancel your membership. Keep an eye on the
website, and rejoin when things are better. Also, if you've been a member during this time period, and you don't feel like you've gotten your money's worth, then
once again, cancel, and contact me later when I've got more material to show, and I'll make arrangements with you.
I said these things Message #844 on June 07, 2005.
Interesting philosophical discussions aside, I'm wondering if the members of the hypno fetish site will be

The Free Speech Coaltion has won an injunction against the government preventing them from pursuing the new 2257
regulations against anyone who is a member before Saturday (tomorrow). Unfortunately their online processing is down, so I'm going to have to figure out how to get
300 dollars to them from Europe within 24 hours. :-) If I can pull this off, then I've got another month or two of breathing room.
I'm also in the process of some other things, but I'm going to wait until they are complete before discussing them further.
"Ok, I'm pretty much a person that hides in the shadows around these parts, and I understand all the concerns around here. I do sympathize with some of your
pain... and I'd hate to see the sites that have been made die. Still... I have to say I disagree on some fundamental issues."
You're definitely free to express your opinion...
"I'm not meaning this insulting to anyone in any way, but I have to say that I'm tired of people claiming that they have a right. We claim that as humans (or
worse, as simply Americans) we have a right for this and a right for that, but the honest truth is that the "rights" we enjoy are privileges bestowed upon us by the
hundreds of thousands or possibly millions that have given their lives in service to this country."
I couldn't possibly disagree with this position more than I do. Americans have a very specific list of rights, called surpisingly enough The Bill of Rights. In Canada at the federal level they have the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Quebec also has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Many other countries have similar documents. The United
Nations has a Universal Charter of Human Rights... although in recent years the United Nations has been largely
defanged, so there isn't much political or physical power backing it up.
The point of the matter is, we have rights, they have been drafted, and you can educate yourself on them, and demand that they are respected. The contrary view,
that we have no rights, only serves tyrants. They don't need to take away your rights, if you deny their existance.
"This country, the government, all of it... is based on the cooperation of the people, all of us, who truly govern this country. This is a representative
democracy, but it is still a democracy. We all elect the people that govern us. There were no hanging chads, no recounts this time. The president and every member
of Congress was elected by us, for us. And the constitution... it's my favorite historical document, and if you'll read it, it allows Congress to make any laws
necessary outside of the scope of itself."
If you believe that all of the people truly govern the country, then you haven't looked at the facts recently. A significant portion of the members of the highest
levels of government run in politician bloodlines, that prop up other politician bloodlines, creating a defacto aristocracy. Congress is basically a millionaire's club.
I would challenge your faith in the idea that we elect the people that govern us. The elections are a sham. The presidential "debates," were nothing more than
join press conferences run by corporate sponsors. Include the Libertarian Party and The Green Party, and we'd see a real debate. Tell me about all the insecure
computerized voting machines, that didn't have a paper trail, that started with a tally for Bush, before the polls opened. Tell me about how the same powerful
corporation fund both parties. Tell me about how the individual west coast states have repeatedly voted to legalize medicinal marajuana, while the federal
government continues to deny the will of the voters in those states.
"Then, just a bit later, it establishes a court, appointed by the governement, elected by us, to watch over the laws that Congress makes. We all have one vote.
Is this a violation of free speech? Probably. Should something be done to test the validity of it? Definitely, but there is a proper procedure spelled out for that
to in the laws and Constitution that we're all so quick to quote. We're all in this together, and when the majority of Americans, the evil, young, white males, the
religious right, the conspiracy to silence the dissidents, the little man behind the curtain at Oz, or whoever it is that does all of these things, makes a decision
that is the decision. You don't like it, vote, challenge the law, form a protest, do something. Call your congressman, and speak out about it. If you haven't
guessed, the news media eats that stuff up, or was that just me?"
...and that proper procedure gives the Department of Justice the right to draft laws evidently? I don't see anything proper about that.
The news media... which one? The one owned by Disney, AOL/Time Warner, or Rupert Murcoch?
"It's fine to be mad and emotional, but don't think that just because you were born that you in a certain place, at a certain time that you deserve anything. We
work for what we have, and we live with what we get. Hard work, apple pie, truth and justice, respecting everyone, and allowing everyone their vote. That is what
America is based on. That is what George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, etc... worked to create."
Sorry brother, but I do think because I was born in the United States as an American citizen during this period in history, that I have the rights listed in the
bill of rights, just as surely as I would believe that I had the rights entitled to me by the Canadian Carter if I were born north of the border. It's not a matter
of deserving. I don't have to deserve these rights, I get them automatically, wether I'm a nice guy or a total asshole, unless I am stripped of citizenship
or am convicted of a felony.
I've heard these arguments before. Quick to point out responsibilities (You must work) and quick to deny rights. That sounds more like a slave mentality, then the
mentatlity of a free man or woman.
"Sorry again, this wasn't intended to disrespect anyone.
The preceding friendly reminder was brought to you by a single, young, white, male, history nut just trying to make it in a cold, cruel world, like we all are,

courts have overruled that majority, and yes, that means even when it went in our favor. Enjoy!"
I focus on the rights of the minority to protect against the tyrany of the majority. I'm not a big fan of mob rule.

Oh, by the way, I recognize the fact that there was a bit more emotion in my last few posts than is normal.
It's not directed towards anyone here. I just felt the need to express something, and to show that this is really a big deal, and not some sort of strange economic
thing, but something that is life changing, destructive, and I feel to be a serious threat to everyone's rights and freedoms, everywhere.
Our government isn't wasting any time trying to squash any speech they don't like... On the same day that they
are trying to kill the adult industry, this also happens. Still think they aren't out
for blood?
You bring up a number of interesting points and ideas. However for the most part they are not consistent with my concerns. I'm not like the other people in the
adult industry, different things matter to me than my ability to make money from affiliates.
The issue here is freedom of speech. This is a core value that the United States of America is based on. You either have free speech or you don't. We already
live in a society where most people voluntarily choose not to exercise their right to freedom of speech, which is their choice. However, I do have the right to
engage in free speech. Period. The fact that others are less willing to engage in free speech, means that those who are shoulder a larger burden of responsibility
to defend that right.
The second issue here is the concept of innocent until proven guilty. This is a core value of the United States of America is based on. I shouldn't have to subit
to the government once every four months to prove that I'm innocent. Period. If they have suspect me of a crime, then they should charge me for it, and if I'm
found innocent, they should leave me alone.
The thrid issue here is the concept of unreasonable search and seizure. This is a core value of the United States of America is based on. I shouldn't have to
submit to a government search of my private property if I'm not accused of a crime. Period. This one really shouldn't need an explanation.
However, the problem is that we have a government controlled by religious fundamentalists that want to limit certain types of speech, and right now Sexually related
speech is the target. This is the same government that sees no problems in starting illegal wars, and running illegal prison camps where people are held without
charge, trial or access to legal council. Do you really think that they are going to stop with doing that to only foreigners? Imagine how much simpler things
would be for them stateside if they could run every prison like Guantanamo Bay?
This law is an attempt to circumvent the Constitution of the United States of America, the highest law of the land, and the basis of the social contract between the
People of the United States and the Government of the United States. It specifically limits what the government can do. As such, this law is inherently wrong, if
for no other reason than that.
The primary issues are RIGHTS that I am entitled to under the fucking Constitution, the HIGHEST law of the land. Period. And I'm really really really fucking sick
of people acting like we don't have rights. I'm really really really fucking sick of people just pissing away what Americans have fought and died for over hundreds
of years to create and protect.
The sub issues, of the cops who are going to enforce the law being allowed to create the law, the fact that this law will do nothing to make a single child safer,
the fact that this law mandates that I have a place of business open at least 20 hours a week specifically for their inspections - in direct conflict with my non
material and non goegraphically tethered way of life, the fact that this law makes it too risky for me to publish other people, the fact that this law jepordizes
five years of my work and the core around which my entire life is based.... and the countless other problems with it....
I've got enough problems and difficulties in my life as it was, then this was just suddenly dropped on my lap, with an impossible amount of time to comply with it,
combined with draconian penalties is simply overwhelming.
No, I'm not going to live and behave as some sort of criminal because the police wrote a law that they will use to circumvent the constitution. I'm not going to
take the attitude that they won't go after me because I'm small. Fuck them. I'm not going to drop to the default attitude that I should have something to be
afraid of or to fear. I am not a criminal, I will not behave as one.
So, now it's just time to wait for the axe to drop. All I can do is wait and see what they have planned next. I have my prinicples, but they have thousands of
people with guns. Guess who wins...
re: your problems Aaron with the 2257 compliance issues. If your issues are about affiliates using your work
as opposed to record keeping of your subjects themselves the following quote from www.panchodog.com might relavent as they have enough load adult content and lots
and lots of affiliates.
"After carefull review and extensive legal advice with three of the top adult entertainment law firms, (who are extremely familiar with 18 U.S.C. � 2257 in their
capacities as First Amendment and Criminal defense practitioners) we have come to the following determination, summarized by Jeffrey Douglas, one of our
attorneys:
"...Despite General Gonzalez� efforts at reviving the concept of �secondary producers� in the most recent version of regulations in support of 18 U.S.C. �
2257, the concept is not supported by the statute itself. The only case addressing the issue, Sundance Assocs. Inc. v. Reno, 139 F.3d 804, 807 (10th Cir.1998), held
that the �secondary producer� requirements of the regulations to be unconstitutional. We rely on that holding, and further decline to violate the privacy of the
performing artists by disseminating private data when not required to do so by law...".
This would seem to indicate that those in the know and with good lawyers believe that secondary producers are not liable to maintain the model information. This
opinion of course doesnt release the primary individual from maintaining model releases and information. BUT frankly, if you have the information but do not
maintain a physical office for inspection is is UNLIKELY you will be inspected upon considering the enormous volume of material covered by 2257 and the tens of
thousands of companies who would have to be inspected by a DOJ staff that just doesn't have the manpower to do it. Most likely DOJ intervention will occur with
"extreme" content providers and original producers were the DOJ can make "scare" cases up.
Hypnosis sites most likely would never be targetted. And on top based on 2257 requirements nude models are exempt from record keeping. Only explicit direct
penetration sexual content needs 2257.
I've reset the SciFiHypnosis.com join button to a 2 day membership. The site will be shutting down on the 22nd
of this month, and today will be the last day that memberships will be available.
Because a number of people have requested it, here is a join link for ScifiHypnosis.com. it's for a 9.95 membership, that lasts for 4 days. Long enough to view all 3 of the sets that are on the
website. The website will be going offline on the 23rd, because of my concerns over the new 2257 regulations. This does not affect my other websites.
I've finally got the third and final update up for ScifiHypnosis.
I've been traveling in Canada, trying to take care of some things related to the troubles that I've been having with the new regulations, and have unfortunately
been stuck on dialup while staying as a guest at other people's houses (which means that I can't tie up the phone line for 48 hours straight to do an upload). I've
finally managed to get some time in an Internet Cafe with some real bandwidth, so was finally able to take care of it.
I apologize for the delay, but I have no plans to leave anyone out in the cold. If anyone's membership ran out before I got them posted, e-mail me and I will give
you a login.
Hey, Aaron! I'm sorry to hear about your government problems. I'm gonna keep my subscriptions going for you
because I love your work.
You mentioned that you were going to put up another set on SciFi Hypnosis, but my subscription lapsed before I got the chance to see it. You mentioned setting up a
10-day subscription to get the last set. Did that ever happen??
Arron I will continue my subscription throught theses difficult times. IMHO the internet should allow everyone
to have there own space, regardless of what this space is.
Lets just hope they don't make you get a xxx domain.

Thank you Madcap. These new regulations are definitely a kick in the gut. I can't imagine how they could be anything more than an attempt to harrass us out of
business. However, as anyone who has ever watched my work may know, I've always been a vocal critic of the government, and have never been one to just take things
lying down. So, now it's just time to tighten things up, circle the wagons, and wait to see if this is an "order 66." (Episode 3 has definitely been one of the
things to help take the load off recently... I've seen it 3 times now, and it never stops rocking... oh Lucas, why couldn't episodes 1 and 2 rocked as much as 3
*g*).
Hypnoslave.com won't be any more affected by these regulations as HypnoGames/HypnosisFetish. The main things will be a delay while I get everything together. It
will impact HypnoSlave in the sense that it will be more "Aaron-centric" than I was originally envisioning... that's not to say that I have ruled out having other
hypnotists around from time to time, but it will be necessary to exert full control over the production... I couldn't just let people do their own thing elsewhere
and publish it. That's probably the most annoying aspect of these regulations, publishing other people's work and encouraging them to explore their points of view
is now too risky. Not just to me, but to them. Now if they want to produce, they've got to do the whole 2257 song and dance, they can't just draw upon my files,
for example. Then they are opening themselves up to considerable risk, half the time without knowing it... No, this is not a good time for new people to join the
industry, and that's an unfortunate thing, because ultimately that reduces the number of voices out their sharing their opinions, beliefs, styles and points of
view.
On the other hand, I always envisioned HypnoSlave as being more indepth with fewer women, so from a record keeping standpoint, it will actually be easier.
I do want to thank everyone for their patience through these difficult times. It's still going to be a little bit of time before everything is status quot, but I'm
hoping that will be the case within about a month or so. This stuff couldn't have happened at a worse time, and it caught me with my pants down. But I'm sure in
dealing with it, ultimately things will be better at my websites. I would defintely encourage anyone who has a recurring membership who is feeling a little nervous
at this point to consider cancelling their rebill, and wait a month or two while I get things sorted out. On the other side of the coin, everyone who sticks around
during these difficult times should realize that they are helping me to have the resources to change with the times, and ultimately that will result in a lot of
cool stuff happening, and all the cool stuff that people have been enjoying over the past five years to continue.

I will set it up so that there is a 10 day membership option that can be selected after I post the update. I should be near enough bandwidth later today to do so.
It will be to a special URL that I will post here.
Aaron, just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about the regulatory crap you're having to deal with that's closing
down Sci Fi Hypnosis. I can only imagine your frustration at having to deal with this. For what it's worth though, I'm very glad to hear that it sounds like the

This is a messsage that I sent in out in response to my unreplied to backlog of scifihypnosis.com e-mail. This
is only in regards to ScifiHypnosis.com, and doesn't reflect upon any of my other websites. The main reason why this website is going offline is because I no
longer feel that I can meet the new federal reporting regulations with any material that I haven't personally produced.
---------
Hello,
I apologize for the delays in responding to your e-mails. There have been a number of things going on behind scenes that have made it difficult to provide any firm
answers to the questions that people have been asking.
The last set will be going online within 48 hours from now in it's entirety.
I'm very sorry for any disappointment, frustration, or inconvenience that any of this may have caused. The legal landscape of the industry changed overnight, and
I've been struggling to try to save a piece of what I've spent five years building. This particular piece wasn't salvageable.
...so, Aaron, are we going to comply with the new regs and tough it out, or are we going out of business? My
personal hope is that your sites stay online and that you continue to create your customarily excellent content for them. Of course, it's your call. Please let us
in on the results of your current introspection.
I know that this continues to be way off topic for HypnoFocus, but it would seem to me that if you purchased title insurance as part of the transaction when you
acquired the land, then you have recourse through the title company. It may be worth some small effort to see if there are any possibilities for you along those
lines.
Wow... You think you got it bad- -try this for size.
For the last year I've been fighting with my city to get a building permit to build my home. Unfortunately, the land I own is bisected by a road that shouldn't
exist. Turns out it was created almost 30 years ago, because of this it's grandfathered in as public access. So the city doesn't have to pay me for it and I can't
fight it, even If wanted to.
It gets worse when it turns out the land on the other side of the road that I own is too small to be a lot of it's own, according to the city's ordinances. (R3
zoning lots must be 6,000 square feet) I wanted to keep it, the city said no then told me it had no value, thus they gave me only one option; if I want a building
permit I'd have to give them the land. Seems funny to have a city lawyer actually tell you something you own has no value when you can distinctly remember paying
for it. Seriously, if it had no value you'd think it would have been given to me for free to begin with. Regardless to say, I tried my best to fight for what I
know is right. So far the outcome has basically been me spending more money than I'd ever think of and no building permit in sight.
Some added injury to insult occured when I had my case before the Zoning Board for a variance to keep the land. Turns out they need 4 out of the 7 members to be
there to conduct buisness. Unfortunately the day of my case only three were there on time. The fourth member was 45 minutes late. In doing so my case, which was
next to last on the rooster, was pushed so far back that I knew my parking meter was running out of time. I asked if I could leave to put a coin in, and they told
me sure, but if we call your name and you aren't here you'll have to pay to be put on the next meeting, another 100 bucks and 2 more weeks of waiting. Regardless
to say, after sitting through a painful reeming from the board members, I was denied. I came out of the building to see that I got hit with parking ticket as well.
I finally broke down and went to a lawyer over the land. He told me that I could fight it and possibly win, but by the time it would take to get to trial; at least
a full year, and by the time it would be over I would have spent far more than the lands value. So his advice was to just give the city the land, get my building
permit and be done wit it. Oddly enough he was pretty helpful and didn't even charge me for the time he spent with me. However to cap off just how screwed up all
of this has been, I just was forced to pay 50 bucks, filing fee, to city to give them land that I don't want to give them.
What does this have to do with anything? Well I can understand how you feel when it comes to making tough decesssions on your life. Especially those that
determine where you're going to live. I also know what it feels like to face laws that are only there to make things difficult and nothing else. Your personal
problem is unique just as mine is, but in the end things work themselves out. Also it's pretty theraputic to get things off one's chest, so when you're ready to
tell more we'll be ready to hear. I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing you well and hoping things workout for you. You're looking for patience, we'll be looking for
you. Oh, and one last reason for sharing it all, I actually find what's going on to me to be kinda funny now. Didn't before, but I'm sure you'll be laughing about
your stuff soon as well.
I know that I've been somewhat distant and unresponsive for a little while now. There have been a large number of things going on in my personal and business life
that have been coming to a head. However, this is a time of change, and not only in my own life, the world has been changing in some pretty drastic and unexpected
ways for quite some time now, and as someone who has to keep an eye on the future and anticipate the consequences of these types of changes, it's been a pretty
bumpy ride.
Those who have known me, followed my work, or have read what I've written over the years will recognize that I'm severely allergic to making public statements about
things that I haven't decided my thoughts and feelings about. Usually this is just a matter of one or two things, but lately it's been much larger.
I could go in to extensive detail on all the reasons why this is the case, and I'm even sure some of you out there would be interested in them for one reason or
another. However, I'm still sorting them out, and it would just be a big giant stream of consciousness rant.
So at this point, I'll stick with the bullet points...
1. I've been trying to move the focus of my work to a more international arena. Specifically I've been spending a whole lot of time in Amsterdam since last
December. I've had a large degree of success in that area, and it's been a life changing experience that I've always dreamed of having. Unfortunately, personal
growth and a desire for change in one's life isn't always conducive to one's long term goals and direction in life. Some things that I was hoping to accomplish out
there didn't quite come together as I was too distracted by the basic necessities of life to pursue my larger goals. For that, and other reasons that I will get in
to, I've realized that I'm going to have to let that direction go for a while, and focus on getting back to work in the part of the world where I'm the most
comfortable.
2. There have been a number of changes in the laws and regulations in the United States of America, in regards to the adult industry. Something that has been
simmering for some time now, has finally come to pass. There are new 2257 regulations that place a radical, and arguably excessive burden on producers in the
industry. For someone who is light and mobile and has very limited resources and infrastructure, it has basically arbitrarily ended the way that I have done
business for the last half decade. The laws concern record keeping, which I feel is important, and have always personally done without compromise. However, now
the regulations have essentially made it impossible to be in compliance without a fixed business location. There are a number of secondary consequences of these
new laws that will require me to reorganize and restructure just about every aspect of my business to be in compliance, or face draconian consequences. It is now
no longer enough to behave in an ethical and socially responsible manner, one must now also be ready, willing, and able to jump through a number of procedural
hoops, or else you will be punished severely. This is surely a victory for the bureaucrats. However, more to the case, it has made my way of life utterly
unsustainable, and now I'm basically in a position where I have to change or die, whether or not I'm prepared or ready.
3. I've been spending time meditating on my work, what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. Every once in a while, I feel it's necessary to pause and take a look at
these sort of things. My sense of ethics, responsibility and morality are living tools that I use in my every day life, and as such I rely upon them heavily.
Because of this, I feel it's necessary to challenge my beliefs on a regular basis to make sure that they're up to my standards, and to feel justified in my beliefs.
It's also important for me to take a look at what I'm doing as an artist and a performer, to make sure that I'm actually creating the things that I want to create.
So that's the long and the short of it. Right now is a time of change and transition. Some of these changes are things that I feel are necessary for me to
continue creating my work, others of these changes are things that have been thrust upon me that I have no choice but to respond to. Some of the delays have been
the result of decisions on my part that didn't work out the way that I had planned, and others have come from things outside of my control. You can rest assured
that I'm working very hard to get things back to normal, while at the same time redefining what exactly normal is.
I appreciate everyone's patience, and understand that not everyone will have feelings of patience.
I would like to say that I love this site. I ahve been into hypnosis since I have been very young and this
site keeps me a breast of everything. Thank you all.

There have been no posts to the message board or updates to your sites (the ones I visit regularly, anyway) in quite a while. I'm concerned. Is everything
OK?
J.
I am here to request help. I have been a member of hypnosisfetish site and saw some amazing things done by Aaron. That girl, heather got me so turned on it was
mostly unbelievable. Then looking at those women getting under the spell and do things I would dream of doing to my girl and explore more, was just too much.
I had read many books on the subject at around 12 years old and don't even remember most of them. Yet, what happenned after those videos is that I took time to
think more, read more and get more into it. Recently my girl went to Belgium for 3 months, and actually, she kind of just left, yet she is missing me and me I miss
her as well.
So I started sending her interesting stories and one of them actually included hypnosis, and sex under hypnose, etc. most guy fantasms. She actually responded by
asking me to try to hypnotise her when she gets back, yet she felt skeptical about it. So now, I am there with an amazing women, very beautiful and intelligent, of
age 25 wanting me to turn her into whatever I want, yet I have no experience nor never succeeded (single attempt) in getting someone under hypnose.
Now, I will have to take it slow, and let her know that while I have a big urge to turn her into my sex slave, I do have no experience on this and at best she
will get relaxation out of it. Sex is good without hypnose anyway but I want to use hypnose to get her to be more open and more playful when we're not having sex,
as then she gets all shy. So I have a lot of ideas, some comes from erotic mind control story archive but some are quite original.
If things get working, I could also considere filming her, I am pretty sure anyway that this is a fantasy for her, so that she can see after and maybe share it if
she does want that. Yet I would like to get advice, and maybe lessons, I want this to work so hard to see how far I can go with her. She has a strong personnality
and therefore just having her obey a simple command that I know she won't in real live will get me a blast and I don't want to miss that.
So I am mostly looking into suggestions on how to get some skill or start this out so that I can lower her skeptical barrier a little (and also get confidence in
my voice). I was planning on starting by recording myself on tape, like doing a script so that I get her to relax and then send that tape to her in Belgium and
have her try it several times and see how it goes.
Yet, I could also wait 3 months and try when she comes back but I feel like I could already practice and have some amazing fun by trying to do things at distance.
Like if I ever succeed, I could tell her some interesting suggestions about food or water that would get her excited like heather had and have her call me and tell
me what she wants to have in her between her legs (night time there is right in the afternoon in Montreal, so that would be very nice).
She also planned to visit different public place in Europe and I would not mind suggesting her to get quite wet each time she see something about art (she is into
museologie and really like those arts stuff). I would then ask her to let me know how her day went, and record that. Knowing her, I am certain she could figure
out interesting way to get off without most people around knowing about it and think about if she start telling me all this after the fact that would get most guys
exploding ;)
Anyway, this is my chance, my girl I love her, and I currently want this to work too much, so I need you to get me back to earth and help me out doing this.
"What's to despair about Hitchiker's Guide? I thought the previews looked pretty good (and yes, I did read the books...well, except Mostly Harmless)."
I read this review at the time that I wrote my original post, and it got me kind of nervous. I've since
heard other reviews that said otherwise. At this point it's so close (already out in the UK), that I'm just putting on my dark danger shades, and hoping for the
best...
"Aaron, would you find it at all useful if we suggested models you might try to use for your shoots? I have a particular good-looking BSDM submissive in mind who

Sure, why not. Something like that you'll want to send to me in private e-mail.

It was Lord Hypno's idea, the videos on SciFi Hypnosis are all about him. I've just provided some encouragement, some
advise, and the willingness to publish it.
We've also got a welcome letter from him posted now. Hopefully we'll be able to accept Visa in a few

Heh... good times...
By the way, I've been thinking of asking you if you'd like to be sort of the guest host of SciFi Hypnosis. Basically I would hook you up with a membership, and
you'd sort of Narrate with the descriptions, sort of as the online host. I've been thinking of experimenting with something like this for a while now, and this
would be an excellent opportunity to do so. You're pretty well known, and you know what you're talking about, so I figured you'd make a good choice.
Fonteneau, He Who Entrances with a Mere Thought did babble forth . . . "I just finished checking out *Lord Hypno* and "SciFi

Good luck. Not sure which part you wanted it on so I'll just set that at a general coverage. Also, I was
wondering if you'd have to do sessions with someone that speaks english fluidly? I mean, can the hypnotic methods you use cross over a language barrier?
It looks like CCBill hasn't activated VISA acceptance for SciFi
Hypnosis. This is because VISA demands an extra level of screening (in addition to a rather steep yearly fee). I don't particularly like it, but there's
really nothing I can do about it. VISA acceptance for that site should be up and running hopefully no later than the end of the week.
(I just love all the little things that pop up when you try to get a new site online. I checked an error file on my server that said that there were 8 account
signup errors... Each of which should have sent me an automatic e-mail... of course no e-mail was sent.... grrrrr... *g*)
Looks like there was a minor error on the new SciFi Hypnosis website,
that was prohibiting the creation of new accounts. If you tried to sign up in the last 24 hours, and couldn't, please try again now, as the problem has been
fixed.
I'm pleased to announce that a project that I've been working on in secret with a few people for a while now
is ready to be released!
SciFiHypnosis.com features the Adult Themed Science Fiction Hypnosis of Lord Hypno.
Right now there is one set of videos up, although more sets have already been filmed, and will start being updated to the site after we get some subscribers. :-)
this is might just be a far out idea or it might be exactly what you are planning, but I was wondering whether
hypnoslave would have a kind of experimental nature. Personally I'd like to see a site that explores just how far can hypnosis be taken (of course with consent) If
possible I'd like to see multiple sessions with the same subjects and perhaps even follow up the effects of the sessions in their private lives (again this could be
done through journals or profiles)
hypnosis to me is an opportunity to really create strong effects on another person and I think that someone needs to really take the idea and run with it. again so
long as this is all within agreed upon bounds between the hypnotist and the subject.
In the spirit of exploring the dynamics of the general hypnofetish, I'd like to see people's answers and
speculation concerning a very basic question: What explains the common association between Dominance/Submission and sexuality, which I think is itself the root of
the hypnofetish? I'm totally ignorant as to where this comes from, even though it's central to my own interest in hypnosis.
Is there some evolutionary explanation? Perhaps sexual selection encouraged sexual dominance in males and sexual submissiveness in females but, being the highly
sexual animals we are, we can get satisfaction from the D/S even without the sex. And for whatever reason, these traits can also, though with less frequency (at
least, that's my impression), appear in the opposite sex, just as homosexuality seems to appear naturally even though it wouldn't seem to maximize sexual
reproduction.
Or maybe someone has a good explanation from a psychological perspective...whatever, I'm just curious to see what anyone else thinks.
"Which are the new clips for April 7th, 8th and 9th?"
That's an easy question. There aren't any.
April 6 ended the Glitter set. April 10 began the hookah set (For all of you who have been asking for a smoking video, this is your set. Also RPG/Fantasy elements
and some extra love for the foot fetishists). Traditionally there is usually a few days separating sets.
Okay, I've officially edited the published posting rules in regards to some of the recent discussion regarding
how some other hypnotists like to (and don't like to) be talked about.
The official rule addition is: Please be sensitive to the privacy concerns of others.
I think this is a good rule, because it's general, and applies for everyone who might want to go by a pseudonym instead of their real name. It took me a while to
think about how to word this, because I wasn't particularly interested in giving away free advertisement everytime someone looked at the rules.
What's to despair about Hitchiker's Guide? I thought the previews looked pretty good (and yes, I did read the
books...well, except Mostly Harmless).
Aaron, would you find it at all useful if we suggested models you might try to use for your shoots? I have a particular good-looking BSDM submissive in mind who
has her own site. Or would that inundate you with information you're not going to use?

Yes, at this time HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com are functionally identical in content, and both have the same back end. I don't know if this will always be
the case. The purposes for having the sites have changed over the years, and may very well change again in the future.

I think that the average hypnosisfetish fan will enjoy hypnoslave as well, but in a different way. It is currently the plan that HypnosisFetish.com /
HypnoGames.com will not stop or be affected in any way by HypnoSlave. In a way you can sort of think of Buffy and Angel being like my HF/HG stuff, and Firefly
being like HS (If you're in to Joss Whedon metaphors... still drooling over the upcoming Firefly movie, and still dispairing over the upcoming HitchHiker's Guide
movie, and cautiously optimistic about Episode 3)...

"Re resistance and the reality of hypnotic submission:
Some of us can be open submissive hypnofetishists but not submissive in any way, shape or form outside of hypnosis. I crave the mind control aspect of my
hypnofetish but would NOT call the hypnotist master under normal circumstances. I'm actually a very strong woman in real life and not into the Scene as a rule. The
role reversal combined with the hypnotic experience and phenomena is what makes the whole concept work for me. So my personality changes under hypnosis (as far as I
know) are quite genuine."
The ability to be submissive or "under control" isn't necessarily a sign of weakness. For some people, they have to be very strong to overcome their strength, and
thus experience something contrary to their normal nature. As such, it's a very usual thing for such a person to require a special circumstance to frame the
experience. For some, it's being in a certain type of clothes, wearing a collar, and being in a dungeon. For others, it's going through the ritualism of the
hypnosis experience. It must be a very interesting experience for you to experience something so contrary to your normal experience of life!

know I was one. I've had an interest in hypnosis since childhood. I've worked with several professional hypnotists over my lifetime. The hypnoslave thing kind of
happened accidentally as a function of my relationship with one hypnotist and how I perceived increasing depth levels--I just HAD to be different and straight
numbers didn't have meaning for me as depth levels. I initially characterized depth as a percentage of control. This was actually misleading because I've gone much
deeper since achieving so-called 100% control, but it worked for me when I was perceiving things that way. Now I don't use numbers or percentages at all for depth
measurement--I'm beyond them."
That's very interesting. So you've always perceived hypnosis as a form of control, and because of your lifelong interest found yourself drawn to hypnotists...
Then going through hypnosis with a trance depth metaphor, you instead needed it to be control, and then once the hypnotist realized it was control, then things
started happening in the erotic arena?
"I think all hypnosis is actually an assisted method of altering one's perception of reality. When I was given a suggestion that I didn't know the
hypnotist--that in fact I was having sex with a stranger, I actually didn't know his face anymore. And I had known him for many years in real life. My personal
perception shifted in response to his suggestion. I felt fear and discomfort. Nothing overwhelming--obviously at least a part of me knew that this was altered
perception and not truth and thus protected me from being overwhelmed, which is in line with "hidden observer" theories of hypnosis."
There is definitely a perception alteration aspect of hypnosis. But there's also cognitive alterations, alterations of reasons, of belief, of understanding of
cause and effect. Any aspect of the human existance can be influenced, and in your case, controlled through hypnosis. It sounds like you have a good understanding
of your experience and a trust of the hidden observer, which allows you to let go of your sense of self control all that much more.
"I enjoy hypnosis even when there is no domination or sexual content. But the mind control or mental domination adds an incredible degree of sexual tension for
me even when there is no actual sexual activity involved. To a certain degree there is a psychological addiction for me to hypnotic domination. During the periods I
have no qualified hypnotist available who shares my fetish, there is a piece missing from my life. I feel incomplete and unhappy. There is personal pleasure for me
in obeying commands under hypnosis, whether innocuous or overtly sexual."
I understand what that feels like. When I've gone through periods of my life without a regular and constant hypno-submissive as a part of my daily life, I feel
that something is missing... Of course, with my professional life, it does take the edge off... but still there is a difference between encounters here and there,
and something deep and committed.
"As a matter of fact, I am willing to do things in this milieu that I would not ordinarily do--if only because making me do such things when I would not normally
do them is such self-evident mental domination that the domination aspect would give me pleasure even if the act itself would not. I also have numerous things I
would love to try under hypnosis but have never been given the opportunity to do so. I also have the odd craving for statue or freezing-type commands which I have
not yet had the opportunity to explore--but I don't know why this appeals to me like it does."
Subjects frequently enjoy the process of "jumping through hoops," to prove to themselves the control of the experience, to make something ethereal, tangible...
When you add the erotic aspect to the experience, a hypno-submissive under control finds it pleasurably irrresistable.
"Note as I have said previously that it is only under hypnosis that I have these yearnings. In my real life I am a competent professional and a strong
personality. I am familiar with the BDSM community and have absolutely no desire to be a slave outside of hypnosis though I am scene-friendly and tolerant in
general. A little bondage (NO PAIN! Just bondage) and some sensory deprivation (blindfold, earplugs etc. help to really focus attention on things like touch) is as
kinky as I get without hypnosis."
It's okay, you don't have to be afraid that having these feelings under the context of hypnosis is going to make you a weak person in the rest of your life, or some
sort of push-over. As I mentioned before, gnerally it takes a very strong willed person to make the concentrated effort and commitment to go as deep in to
pleasurably obedient hypnosis in the way that you do. It also seems that you have a good idea about what it is that you feel and what it is that you enjoy. You're
in a very fortunate position with your sexuality, most people go through their entire lives without getting it as figured out as you have.

Some of them I still keep touch with. I see Carrie from time to time. However, while she's very responsive to suggestion, her personality is kind of combative, so
I'm not really seeing inviting her back for any more erotic hypnosis. I had invited her back to help out with HaXXXor Volume 2:
Fear of an 8-bit Planet. She joined us, but was only mildly enthusiastic.
Beth, I see from time to time as well. She's made a number of carreer and life changes, so I'm not really sure if she's going to be up for more stuff. However, I
bet if some people who really wanted to see her again would write some posts about what they liked about her, and what it would mean to them to see her be a part of
the project, I bet I could talk her in to it.
There's a few other girls that I still have a connection with, and we'll probably see some more of them, but some are long since lost to the past.

It's going to be a blast, I've been putting some things together for some time now, and I suspect that when it's ready to go there's going to be a seriously major
energy to it. Plus a strong sense of community that will go a long way to helping erotic hypnosis fetishists find their way to the BDSM community (if that is their
desire) as well as helping BDSM people find their way to the erotic hypnosis community. I'm very excited about it.
"And the "collars of obedience" sound quite interesting indeed! Looking forward to it! Can you give us any more of a taste of what's to come?"
That's really all I can say at this time... but I'll drop some hints every now and again...

Sure thing Madcap, Hypnofocus.com went online March 13, 2001 (wow, four years ago... I'll be damned...).
However, I'm guessing that you meant to ask about HypnoSlave.com, which hasn't opened up yet. It's almost definitely not
going to be within the month. Right now I'm travelling (part of scoping things out for HypnoSlave.com, part of making some arrangements to have some hot and sexy
European women on HypnosisFetish.com/HypnoGames.com. I'm also going to be writing
some enhancements to the Hypnofocus.com software. Some of the message archiving stuff doesn't work properly. I'm also going to be removing the e-mail address link
from the signature of the messages (for anti-spam purposes), which retianing it invisibly for response notification purposes (so you'll get an e-mail when your post
has been replied to). I'm also going to build in a response button for each message, to make quoting easier, and so on and so forth... Those changes are a day's
worth of programming at worse, back when I was in practice, but since I'm totally out of practice, it represents some effort. My new video editor has finished
editing his first set, so that is a good thing, and will make the turn around time much faster for sets, and release me from much of the post production
responsibility, which in turn will pretty much insure no more delays in updates or dry spells. (Right now the site hasn't updated for a few days, basically since I
left for Europe, so getting those updates up today is one of my biggest priorities). Also... this is the first time that I've mentioned it... another hypnotist
has started doing some sessions. Some of you out there will recognize him, as he's posted a number of non-erotic clips through the Y!groups. I'm not ready to make
a full announcement yet, as I'm still finishing up his website (which will be open by week's end)...
So these are very exciting times... There's a lot happening, and a lot more in the works. With HypnoSlave, I've been savoring the process where I envision it, and
create it... I've been making plans with dungeons all over the place. I've been opening dialogs with people out there, who use hypnosis and BDSM in their play, and
in their relationships... It's going to be a big deal. So when it launches, I want it to be special. So to answer your question, I would be really surprised if
it were up in less than a month, but I would also be really surprised if it weren't up within three.
"I have to also say that the pony play/eating out of a dog bowl thing sound fantastic! Can you tell us anything about the girls you'll have on the site?
Obviously Gothic Heather is one of them. Is she the only one right now or do you already have others as well?"
I haven't done a HypnoSlave specific shoot with Gothic Heather yet, although one is in the works. I'm optimistic, but we're going to have to wait and see. At
this time, I really can't go in to specifics on the girls.
What I can tell you though... if the pony play and eating out of a dog bowl thing sounds interesting, wait until I tell you about the collars of obedience!
Aaron, I know it's been asked before but we've never really gotten a clear answer. I know you can't answer too

"Re: Message #763, May I ask what adapting some of one's internal features involves?"
Mostly small things. I've been wearing almost full leather, nearly daily since December... I've been exploring subtle variations of technique and attitude, to be
more appropriate for the BDSM set and setting. HypnoSlave is going to be much more serious in tone than my other sites, or my personal life tend to be... That
sort of thing.
Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH wrote in Message #769,
"It is not difficult for entertainment or recreational experience (I've done it with folks a number of times) and as a therapeutic technique, it can also be
helpful for couples and the like."
Yes, it's a very interesting thing, the effects on the relationship of a couple with gender role (and perceived actual) reversal... Hypnosis makes for a very
strange world...
Weaver wrote in Message #776, "So any chance of seeing subs clucking like chickens, barking like dogs or being surprised by post hypnotic suggestions in hypnoslaves as well?
I loved when Gothic Heather described how she treated subs only to suddenly feel those things herself and her original clucking like a chicken in gothic heather #
1.
Please have humiliation as a part of whatever you do with hypnoslaves."
I am not planning on doing a whole lot of the animal stuff on HypnoSlave.com at this time, with the exception being the
traditional BDSM related cases of pony play and training a slave to eat out of a pet bowl.
The chicken clucking suggestion with Gothic Heather is one of my favorites as well.
Humiliation will be included on HypnoSlave.com. I generally prefer to keep HypnosisFetish.com/HypnoGames.com in the realm of light embarrasment. However, the
strong BDSM environment of HypnoSlave makes me have no problems with exploring outright humiliation. Done in a Safe, Sane, and Consensual manner, of course.
sting wrote in Message #791, quick question...
Aaron...Do you plan on ever writing a book or doing a video on "how to hypnotise." I know your videos are a great guide. However, it would be better if you were
explaining the different techniques or giving tips...etc
I think it's probably inevitable that both will probably end up occuring sooner or later.
A "How to Hypnotize" video would probably be sooner than anything in print, on account that I already have the means of production and the distribution capability
for such a thing.
Books will probably come later, perhaps after a significant change in my business or my lifestyle (don't worry, neither are planned for anytime in the forseeable
future). As far as print media goes, it's extremely difficult to make it work as a self publisher, such a project is almost guranteed to operate at a loss (as far
as conventional wisdom goes... I do know that there are some things in our digital world that have potentially changed this). So it's very unlikely that I would
proceed with anything in print media, unless a publisher were to contact me, and make me a nice offer.

charon Wrote in Message #780 Of the three active non-Aaron sites I can think of that produce VHS/DVD videos featuring women under genuine, erotic hypnosis, all have used women whom I know
have been in porn. I've seen some of those women on the videos and am almost certain that those were authentic, as are the videos in general.
This isn't necessarily a bad strategy. If one is a member of the "under hypnosis, one wouldn't do anything that they normally wouldn't do" camp, then it is
reasonable to think that if one wanted girls in a state of hypnosis to remove their clothes in front of a camera, then one should look for girls who normally
would.
I personally enjoy working with girls who have thought about it, but have never done it before. I like the idea of having hypnosis take the edge off of the
experience, of taking away all the fears, doubts and hesitations. I like the idea of having my soothing voice causing them to forget that they should feel self
conscious or embarrassed. I like seeing such an intimate view of them, almost a type of view that without hypnosis is probably only possible through having an
intimate relationship or through uninformed voyeurism... which depending on the circumstances, uninformed voyeurism tends to be heavy with moral, ethical and legal
problems.
"What site are you thinking of? Maybe I don't understand the rules here, as I wasn't aware that you can't post the links of competitor sites, but I have posted
names before."
I had asked in message # 781 (which occurred after your post by the way) that this particular thread remained general as opposed to specific. There's a number of
reasons for this... some of them specific to keeping my message board from becoming a flamewar or anything resembling a battleground.
As far as posting links to competitor sites, I handle that on a case by case basis. If someone who participates actively in conversations on this site, posts
something about another site, then it will probably make it through moderation. If someone is just spamming, then it probably won't. Once again, shades of
grey...
I'm going to agree that it isn't so much whether or not someone is an actress or not that is the issue but rather or not they are acting and saying they're
acting or if they are acting and trying to claim it isn't acting or if they're not acting and saying they're not acting.
Ultimately, that is what it comes down to. Of course, hypnosis is a funny thing, as the forces of subject rationalization appears in very interesting places and in
very interesting ways. I was working with a very attractive woman recently. She was as intelligent as she was attractive. She was also as suggestible as she was
attractive and intelligent, put together. The catch was, that if you used any of the standard keywords or trappings of hypnosis, you would get an instant denial
response. Avoid these, and you get action without critical evaluation of the reason for the action, or the results of the action. End result, by avoiding the
standard hypnosis stuff, I was able to get her to perform the same 5 repetitive actions, repeatedly over a 30-45 minute period of time, for no reason other than my
suggestion (command). Additionally, there was very little sign of any awareness outside of the focus of the 5 repetitive actions, so while I had her pushing her
breasts in very noticeable and enjoyable ways, that I found quite entertaining and arousing, she was exhibiting a trance state of intense focus to the exclusion of
all else. Furthermore, since this was all "build up to the trance," she behaved in many ways (precisely?) like a subject who is given suggestions in a state of
interrupted post-hypnotic response. This isn't at all surprising, because basically "I'm going to hypnotize you," accepted by a subject can basically be enough to
cause a type of post hypnotic-phenomena. In her case, it's: a) Listen for "I'm going to hypnotize you" statement, b) accept statement and acknowledge cooperation,
c) cooperate fully, d) interrupt with "didn't work" statement upon encounter with state of hypnosis declaration. Since this seemed to be her script, I simply
stayed in the land of "c."
This sort of thing probably isn't the case in the scope of this discussion... but then again, sometimes it's the very fine line of forgetting for a moment that one
is only pretending, that separates one from a very real trance state. People are funny that way...
"Some of the folks who use actresses or other porn performers sill do real hypnosis - one site I can think of needs to use adult performers for explicit content
that involves real hypnosis, if they didn't use adult performers then they wouldn't find many folks willing to take off their legs and spread their legs while
imaginary penises enter them.
That's a very real situation. If I ever did something hard-core (with penetration or whatever), I would almost certainly use subjects with some experience and
comfort level with doing such things in a non-hypnotic environment. I say almost certainly, because watching old episodes of "Kung-Fu," has taught me to expect the
unexpected...
"Others use some piss poor actresses who claim they are being hypnotized with no verisimilitude at all. One site uses porn actresses and purports to be real
hypnosis but is obviously faking everything (the supposed hypnotist is supposedly hypntizing girls to have sex with him without their knowledge). There are a few
very good hypnofetish sites but most are just plain crap.
I've seen some old porno movies from the 80's that could be described that way, yet still found them... hot. I guess it's really about what they're claiming, and
also how seriously one should take the claim that they do make. There's that one scene from that one film with the red head chick who starts having sex every time
a bell rings. Not real, but still hot. There's definitely a place for the could-never-be-real fantasy stuff just as there's a place for the
straight-out-of-reality stuff. There's also a whole lot of shades of grey in between...
"Even the hypnotist whose name is not to be mentioned that started this discussion has done some very nice stuff with professional models and he's got some less
nice stuff with another provider (his higher quality entries go to one venue and the others go to another). He is a professional hypnotist and prefers not to have
his name out there for the general public although we all know who he is, if we've been into this interest for much time, that is."
I never thought of splitting one's work in such a way... hmmm... :-)
At any rate, he's done a lot of good work, and I've seen some pretty interesting picts from private parties that he's done... (Wouldn't mind reviewing the one with
all the hot girls, I believe there was a rather attractive blonde in that one, for the website one day). At any rate, I don't have any problem respecting his
wishes (heck I altered the site's rules to be accommodating). The only issue I ever had with the whole deal was that I wanted to make sure that it was in fact his
wishes. I prefer to get my information from the source, as opposed to random e-mails from an unknown party. The posting on the official website where some of his
work is displayed is good enough for me.
"Personally, I prefer Aaron's approach of being open and honest about who one is and what's what but I can understand why others might not feel that way

nice things. I suppose, if I lived in a different country, I might have my camcorder and streaming video setup as well. Good work if you can get it."
You know Brian, I just might have to check the price of airfare from your neck of the world to somewhere with a more favorable political environment. It would be
very interesting to have a special guest star sometime... :-)

Cool. Now, that would be a hoot and a half - the panel thing, I mean. I wonder if they would invite me (not sure I could get leave from the university for it
though unless it was couched as an academic affair).
When they asked you about what books, were they asking about general hypnosis or erotic hypnosis specifically?
A good introduction to standard vanilla hypnosis is a great way to get started into erotic hypnosis as one can then learn the principles of good hypnosis which can
then be applied to any context or situation, erotic or otherwise.
However, having a resource specifically related to hypnosis and sex is very nice indeed.
The best single book on the subject is the one I'm writing (have a bona fide publisher lined up and will be posting more on it at my blog as details get
solidified). As my book isn't written yet, there are some books out there specific to erotic hypnosis that folks can look into. The ones I've read:

I have a longer post on erotic hypnosis and getting started with mini-reviews of these resources and more at

Some excellent online resources include my blog http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/ (seriously, there is a LOT of material there related to the subject)
and the Hypnosis Technique Exchange at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
Aaron's comment about watching his videos is not merely self-promotional . . . really, watch his stuff and you'll see erotic hypnosis in action. Also, watch other
erotic hypnotists in action as well (the authentic hypnosis folks who are also pretty good hypnotists, not the cheesy roleplayers or hacks or con artists or just
plain bad hypnotists . . . the good ones range from very strong perfomers who are also professionals in presentation and ability to crappy video quality and lousy
hypnosis . . . Aaron's Hypnosis Fetish site has real hypnosis with some good stuff in it (even those of us who've been doing this sort of stuff for years will pick
up a trick or two by watching others - for instance, I really like one of Aaron's bits about glow and have modified it to my own uses and I found Mike's dial
deepener works really well for a number of the folks I work with, with the fingersnap conditioner as well). Aaron's stuff isn't always as slick and professional in
presentation as some but he does have authentic processes and he varies his content so each session is not following the same outline (while I like Hypnogirls, I
did get tired of the coke bottle bit after the fifth time). The strongest authentic hypnosis sites for now are Hypnosis Fetish (HypnoGames), Hypnogirls,
Hypnovideo, and Entrancement. There are others but I would put these at the top (of course, if you run such a site and would like me to add your material to my
list of worthwhile resources, then feel free to send me a bunch of videos to review and we'll see if it makes the grade - folks have sent me stuff in the past just
for such purposes and so far many of them haven't made the cut).
A couple "almost vanilla" adult-oriented stage hypnotists (no nudity but lots of adult oriented suggestions) worth seeing are Frank Santos (whose "drinking shots
induction" is a wonderful piece of work) and Tony Lee (who is very adult in his stage show and is quite over the top in a way that may - and does - offend a lot of
folks).
Read as many hypnosis books and see as many hypnosis videos as possible. Then . . . find a consenting, willing partner, and practice, practice, preactice.
In response to an e-mail that I received after participating in a panel on erotic hypnosis for a convention, I
answered a fairly common question. What books would you recommend?
I'll post the reply here as well... and don't worry, I haven't forgotten about all the wonderful conversations that have been going on here, I still fully intend
to respond to them as well... Right now it's just been crazy busy. I'm in London right now, and I've spent the last few days meeting with members of the erotic
hypnosis community over here. My next stop is going to be Amsterdam, and I'm hoping to pop in to France and Spain as well. If anyone wants to meet up, just e-mail
me!
----
The advise that I usually give people is to just go to their local library, and type hypnosis in to the search computer (I remember back when libraries had those
big boxes of cards that you'd go though to find the books... I think I prefer the computerized indexes). You'll get a bunch of stuff, in a few different sections
of the non-fiction stacks. Just go and read what fits in the best for your interests.
If you have access to University stacks, they usually have a lot of good books as well. Read as much as you can, and from as many time periods as you can. You'll
notice a big difference between books written in the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and so on... I like stuff from the 50's and the 70's and the early 80's the
best myself. For the most part I can't stand anything modern at all. Other people will advise you differently.
I would also recommend my website. I know it's a bit of self promotion, but HypnosisFetish.com contains something on the order of 60 hours of video representing my
work over the past half decade.
I'm going to agree that it isn't so much whether or not someone is an actress or not that is the issue but
rather or not they are acting and saying they're acting or if they are acting and trying to claim it isn't acting or if they're not acting and saying they're not

I know many of us are increasingly skeptical of the authenticity of the content on some hypnosis video sites. One such site that probably doesn�t need to be
named since it�s so popular, has a girl whose name starts with a V. (Am I protecting this person�s identity sufficiently?) I am absolutely certain that this
girl is in porn. I�ll submit the link here: [Link Removed in Moderation], and Aaron is free to remove it. Of course, porn participants are on the whole likely
just as �hypnotizable� as the populace, but at least in my mind, hiring �actors� raises my suspicion.
Wow, starting the day off with the hard questions... :-)
First, I went ahead and moderated out the link. Mostly just because that potentially opens up a moderation can of worms...
Second, these are all valid questions to ask and issues to discuss. I hope that everyone that participates in this thead takes it easy, I don't want it to turn in
to a flame war or to put anyone on the defensive. If people could sort of keep the discussion general (as you have), I would really appreciate it (I don't want to
be a moderation Nazi).
Now that the disclaimers are done, I'll take off the HypnoFocus Moderator hat and put on the Aaron hat.
I think as far as the "real" versus "fake" question goes, that there is room for both. Some things can be explored through the "real" path and some things can be
explored through the "fake" path. The only issue that I have is when someone represents something as "real" and it being "fake."
What I do is real. Always has been, always will be (unless I did something specifically as a fantasy and labelled it as such). There's only one exception to this,
and that's the very first Vicky set of pictures that I did all the way back on the Fetish-Sluts/hypno days. That was right before I "came out of the closet" as it
was, and still wasn't open about what I did. We were doing a photo shoot, and I told my crew that we were going to try something, and I wasn't going to tell them
what, but that they should just trust me and follow my directions. When I posted the pictures and saw the huge interest, I knew that I had an opportunity to change
my life and actually pursue my lifelong desire (the hypnosis of women), and so I admitted what I was in to to my partner at the time, and then we did the Kim
session, which was the first time that I had hypnotized someone with an audience (outside of a relationship). We had an X-11 cam, and the footage was low quality.
However, it was powerful, and so I immediately got my hands on a real video camera, and when I called Vicky back, I hypnotized her, and that's the video that's on
HypnosisFetish and HypnoGames to this very day. This happened half a decade ago.
Now, I've had sessions that just didn't work out for one reason or another. There have been times where the model has had issues in their life that we discovered
half way through the trance, and I decided to end the shoot, because it just didn't feel appropriate to pursue it. Other times I've had subjects that were
interested in experiencing hypnosis, but for whatever reason I just wasn't able to get them in to the type of trance that is useful for the website. Usually that
type of session never gets aired (who knows, maybe people are curious to see what happens in those circusmstances, and how I responded to it). At any rate, I'm all
about preserving the repuatation and legitimacy of my work.
As an artist that's the call I make. If it's not working out, I shrug, pay the model, and she goes along her merry way. Other producers might not be as willing to
do that, and may try to "salvage" the shoot with prompting. They make a different cost-bennefit call then I do. Really, that's their business. It's not my place
to criticize how other people run their operations. All I can really do is be as open and honest about what I do as I can be, and then let the viewers make their
own decisions.
Now we run in to the question about the suitability of a "porn star" or a "stripper," as a hypnotic subject. I've done other adult stuff with some of the girls
that I hypnotize. In fact, with one of my photographers, he'll frequently take the girls out to do some public flashing stuff to see if they can really handle the
whole taking off the clothes in front of the camera thing. It's a useful filter and saves time because I don't want to bump in to that in the middle of a shoot. I
care too much about the comfort level of the people that I hypnotize to try to "force" them through it. I wouldn't feel proud of my work, my art, or my business if
I behaved otherwise.
I'll say right now, I did another project, HaXXXor, where naked chicks teach you how to hack computers. I filmed a scene about
buffer overflows with Beth and Debbie before hypnotizing them together. Does this detract from them being hypnotized? I don't think so.
Ultimately at the end of the day, it's up to the viewer to make up their own mind about how they feel about what they see. To quote "Starship Troopers," the
freedom to make up one's own mind is the only freedom that any of us really have. Use that freedom. (Of course, this is kind of ironic coming from a hypnotist
*g*)
I hope that clarifies my position. Please feel free to ask more questions, or for other people to post their opinions. All I ask is that you please, please,
please, go easy on me as a moderator with some of the requests that I made at the beginning of this post. Now it's time to go back to editing so I can get my
websites caught up, and to get the backlog filled before I leave town again next week. (I just got back from Fantasm, and believe me, I've got some wild stories and
awesome video from that!)
Of the three active non-Aaron sites I can think of that produce VHS/DVD videos featuring women under genuine,
erotic hypnosis, all have used women whom I know have been in porn. I've seen some of those women on the videos and am almost certain that those were authentic, as
are the videos in general.
What site are you thinking of? Maybe I don't understand the rules here, as I wasn't aware that you can't post the links of competitor sites, but I have posted
names before.
I'm not so sure that hiring a porn star is at all indicative of fakery. I doubt that acting in porn implies an ability to act hypnotized. More than anything else,
their presence likely reflects that if you want to do erotic videos, there's a good chance you'll end up hiring a porn star because that's where you look and that's
who's willing to do it. Even beyond sex, porn stars are probably good subjects for videos because they tend to be more exhibitionist and thus better performers for
an audience.
Now, a site that's entirely composed of porn stars (like the blatantly fake site hypnotrick) is something else. Anyone producing such videos apparently cares only
about the sex.
I know many of us are increasingly skeptical of the authenticity of the content on some hypnosis video sites. One such site that probably doesn�t need to be named
since it�s so popular, has a girl whose name starts with a V. (Am I protecting this person�s identity sufficiently?) I am absolutely certain that this girl is
in porn. I�ll submit the link here: [Link Removed in Moderation], and Aaron is free to remove it. Of course, porn participants are on the whole likely just as
�hypnotizable� as the populace, but at least in my mind, hiring �actors� raises my suspicion.
So any chance of seeing subs clucking like chickens, barking like dogs or being surprised by post hypnotic
suggestions in hypnoslaves as well?
I loved when Gothic Heather described how she treated subs only to suddenly feel those things herself and her original clucking like a chicken in gothic heather #
1.
Please have humiliation as a part of whatever you do with hypnoslaves.
Hmmm . . . post about my subjective experience. It's hard to know where to start. I was a hypnofetishist before
I ever knew there was such a thing; just didn't know I was one. I've had an interest in hypnosis since childhood. I've worked with several professional hypnotists
over my lifetime. The hypnoslave thing kind of happened accidentally as a function of my relationship with one hypnotist and how I perceived increasing depth
levels--I just HAD to be different and straight numbers didn't have meaning for me as depth levels. I initially characterized depth as a percentage of control. This
was actually misleading because I've gone much deeper since achieving so-called 100% control, but it worked for me when I was perceiving things that way. Now I
don't use numbers or percentages at all for depth measurement--I'm beyond them.
I think all hypnosis is actually an assisted method of altering one's perception of reality. When I was given a suggestion that I didn't know the hypnotist--that in
fact I was having sex with a stranger, I actually didn't know his face anymore. And I had known him for many years in real life. My personal perception shifted in
response to his suggestion. I felt fear and discomfort. Nothing overwhelming--obviously at least a part of me knew that this was altered perception and not truth
and thus protected me from being overwhelmed, which is in line with "hidden observer" theories of hypnosis.
I enjoy hypnosis even when there is no domination or sexual content. But the mind control or mental domination adds an incredible degree of sexual tension for me
even when there is no actual sexual activity involved. To a certain degree there is a psychological addiction for me to hypnotic domination. During the periods I
have no qualified hypnotist available who shares my fetish, there is a piece missing from my life. I feel incomplete and unhappy. There is personal pleasure for me
in obeying commands under hypnosis, whether innocuous or overtly sexual.
As a matter of fact, I am willing to do things in this milieu that I would not ordinarily do--if only because making me do such things when I would not normally do
them is such self-evident mental domination that the domination aspect would give me pleasure even if the act itself would not. I also have numerous things I would
love to try under hypnosis but have never been given the opportunity to do so. I also have the odd craving for statue or freezing-type commands which I have not yet
had the opportunity to explore--but I don't know why this appeals to me like it does.
Note as I have said previously that it is only under hypnosis that I have these yearnings. In my real life I am a competent professional and a strong personality. I
am familiar with the BDSM community and have absolutely no desire to be a slave outside of hypnosis though I am scene-friendly and tolerant in general. A little
bondage (NO PAIN! Just bondage) and some sensory deprivation (blindfold, earplugs etc. help to really focus attention on things like touch) is as kinky as I get
without hypnosis.

If you're not familiar with hypnosis or how to do the whole switching genders thing for recreational hypnoplay,
then David Shade's Manual has some bits on it (he "gave" his girlfriend an imaginary penis with which she masturbated). The hypnogirls hypnotist does that all the
time. It's pretty easy to do, just hypnotize 'em, develop sufficient "depth" or "imaginative involvement" and then suggest. For those considering more permanent
gender identity issues, simple suggestion is not appropriate but requires therapy. I have posted about gender issues and hypnosis in my blog a number of times
(just go to the blog entry at http://www.briandavidphillips.com and the posts would be in the hypnosis categories). Aaron's take is pretty straightforward. It is
not difficult for entertainment or recreational experience (I've done it with folks a number of times) and as a therapeutic technique, it can also be helpful for
couples and the like. I hope this has been helpful. - Brian
This was posted on Entrancement Video's website, and I wanted to repost it here as I think it is relevant to
the community and wanted to make sure it is seen.
From Entrancement Videos "What's new page":
On a more serious note: Many of you know who our hypnotist is. We know it is an open secret in the hypnofetish community. However, in the real world, most people
don't know about his "hobby". Recently a few people have posted his name in connection with this website and with Hypnovideo. We respectfully request that you keep
that information to yourself. Our hypnotist has a career outside of these videos. If too many people who are not into this sort of thing find out who he is, it
could seriously damage his reputation and career. If that happens he has told us "No more videos. Ever." And that would include Hypnovideo, Hypnobabes and anywhere
else. He appreciates your e-mails and your comments (as do we), but please don't post his name in conjunctions with our site, Hypnovideo, or other related sites.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Curious,
Yes, it's possible to hypnotize a guy to have the experience of being a woman. It would be very real and convincing to that person, and I would imagine it to be
quite an eye-opening experience.
I generally don't hypnotize guys as a rule, but there are many hypnotists out there that not only can do this sort of thing, but specialize in hypnotic
feminization.
Just a curiousity, have you ever or would it be possible to hypnotize a guy interested in being a woman?
Meaning hypnotize during a session to believe that he was a woman. Or would that be too far fetched?
Thanks in advance
Wow, it sounds like the Hypnoslave site is going to be fantastic! I'm sure it will be well worth the wait (and
far more appealing to me than the exploration of the other hypno sites), but please don't keep us waiting for TOO long! Every time I see those pics of Gothic
Heather on that website, I just keep thinking "wow!" If you have her featured heavily on the site saying "Yes, Master" I am SO there!
I actually came to this site at this minute to post asking about hypnoslave. An ETA would be really great, if you can, because it's torture to wait without any
idea."
Congratulations, you've discovered the sado-masochistic part of HypnoSlave.com. Okay, just kidding... I sort of mentioned in the previous post that I'm moving
slowly on this project, because I have something pretty major and pretty intense in mind, and that I want it to be just a certain way.
What does this mean? Well, without giving too much away too soon (i.e. before I've done it), I'm envisioning a trip, a rather long one, visiting a number of BDSM
communities, and really making the site intense. I've just given up my apartment, settled a number of responsibilities, and basically re-tooled my entire life for
this, and my other projects, as the sole focus of what I do. When I say that things are about to get really serious, I mean it. :-)
That's just one example. Like I said, there's a lot going on behind the scenes right now. A number of them involve me changing myself to prepare for what is about
to come. Spending the last couple of months increasing the amount of leather that I wear, and becoming comfortable in it has been part of the process. I've also
been adapting some of my internal features as well, in preparation.
So, I know everyone is chomping at the bit, and I sympathize and empathize. However, believe me, it's going to be seriously intense, and much worth the wait.
I've enjoyed reading your own personal perspective and desires for hypnosis. The easiest way to look at what I'm doing is that HypnoGames/HypnosisFetish is about
Exploration. HypnoSlave is about Domination and Control. What will come after is about... well... that's for another time.
So what does that mean? HypnoGames/HypnosisFetish is about Exploration... In that environment, with those girls, inside the bubble of reality that I express
myself in for that project, it's just exploration. I take a look inside, and explore their mind, their reality, their sexuality. It is a moment, and then the
moment is over. Sometimes I have a few more moments, but it's a brief flicker.
HypnoSlave will be about domination. Control. Power. Submission. Obedience. In a very real sense. There is going to be situations where I have someone
consenting to the process, but once they consent to their role, their desire will be to resist. I will overcome their resistance and dominate them. Done properly,
in a BDSM environment, this is appropriate.
Madcap wrote in Message #751, I was wondering about the status of the Hypnoslave website. I only just learned of its eventual arrival earlier this week, and looking back through the archives
I see that it's been in the works for several months now. It looks like it's going to be absolutely fantastic and I'm eagerly looking forward to it. Can you tell us
anything about it? Will there be lots of "Yes, Masters?"
Yes Madcap, you can rest assured that there will be a whole lot of "Yes Masters." The website has been in development for quite some time. There have been some
directions that I've moved in, and then decided to move in another direction. There have been a number of behind the scene things going on. Then there have been a
number of things that I'm still deciding on.
When it's ready to launch, I want it to be specifically what I had in mind. Of course, before that can happen, I have to know specifically what I have in mind.
Also, I know that the appetites of the community are large, so once it starts, I have to make sure that it can keep going. Doing this takes a lot of work.
So, while I know that people are eager and want it now, I also know that it's going to be pretty intense, and I want it to be something special, something major.
One thing, however can be said, it's going to be soon...
Lev asked in Message #760: "Are clips 8 & 9 in the 'Mickey with a Rose' series going to be available in
Window's Media format?"
Yes, I've made the files, and as soon as I can get them uploaded, they'll be live. I'm hoping to get the clips caught up to the current day by tomorrow. I'm in
Atlanta right now working a convention, and I've been travelling for the last few days.
Damn you Aaron, now I'm going to be stuck here thinking of new, non-spammish things to post.
Thanks Hypno_Dreamer, your post is enlightening. And heartening, too--apparently there really are potentially perfect hypnoslaves :).
Would you mind sharing any of your experiences and what you like about hypnotic submission? I can't overstate how much it interests me what goes through the mind
of someone in that state. Mainly, it's because it's quite hard for me to fully accept it for what it appears to be, as much as I want to. What I mean is that,
knowing that all hypnosis must ultimately be consensual, it's hard for me to envision how the subject can ever feel out of control in any meaningful sense.
I get these doubts for a number of reasons--I'm a natural skeptic; I've never been hypnotized; and I've done a lot of acting and firmly believe that, technical
skills aside, anyone can be a convincing actor, given the proper motivation. Also, I can't always trust the authenticity of what hypno-enslavement I've seen
practiced, given some of the sources (not aimed at you, Aaron).
I know I'd believe it more fully if I could understand it better. The best source I've found so far to learn about the submissive's perspective is at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xenya/. Xenya is a submissive who's written numerous diary entries, many of them enlightening and many very hot ;). But it'd be
great to hear about your feelings on hypnotic submission, Dreamer, as I'm sure you differ in many ways and could add a lot.
And another public service announcement, if I may, with a little selfish plug thrown in. I was intrigued when Michael posted below about a group set up for
hypno-fetishists to network with each other, but apparently it didn't get off the ground. Fortunately (and maybe the reason why), there's a yahoo group started up
for the same purpose new this year at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hypnotic_relationships/. There's a severe male/female imbalance, but if you're a guy it can't
hurt to join and if you're a girl you've got your pick of the litter.
I already've got a post up; any women interested in a little online fun, drop me a line.
Great conversation everyone, keep it going! :-) I know I haven't replied yet... you know me, I like to put on
my thinking cap for a while when I get some good posts to respond to. I'm going to be on a plane for several hours tomorrow (today), so that should give me some
time to catch up with e-mail and the HypnoFocus message board.
There's so much incredibly exciting stuff going on, that I don't know where to begin, but I know everyone wants to know what's going on.
First, there's a really cool set of footage that is rendering on my computer as I type this. It used some cool camera angles to give you a sort of first person
point of view during the hypnotic process, that I think many of you will enjoy. The set is going to get updated on the website retroactive to two days after the
second to the last clip to go up (the last clip that went up was delayed in the system, not sure why).
Second, I'm going to be in Atlanta, GA for the next week. I've got a suite rented at the hotel, and am looking forward to partying some and hypnotizing, so now's
the time to contact me if you're in that part of the country.
Third, I will be back in Atlanta, GA next weekend for Fantasm ( http://www.fantasm.org ). There's going to be quite a few hypnotists there this year, and it's
going to be a wild time.
Fourth, I've made some arrangements with another hypnotist that is known in the community. There's some really cool things about to happen in relation to that, but
it's going to be a cople of days before I post the official announcement.
I know I haven't been very communicative the last two weeks. I've been even more busy than usual with community related things and with personal things... I'll
elaborate more on this as well, just to give you all the 4-11.
Re resistance and the reality of hypnotic submission:
Some of us can be open submissive hypnofetishists but not submissive in any way, shape or form outside of hypnosis. I crave the mind control aspect of my
hypnofetish but would NOT call the hypnotist master under normal circumstances. I'm actually a very strong woman in real life and not into the Scene as a rule. The
role reversal combined with the hypnotic experience and phenomena is what makes the whole concept work for me. So my personality changes under hypnosis (as far as I
know) are quite genuine.
And no, before anyone asks, I haven't modeled for any of the videos out in the market. My experiences have been one-on-one and not on camera.
We're definitely on the same page, Madcap. (Well, the zombie act doesn't do it for me--I find it corny, but
that's me.)
Though I want to clarify one thing. You said you want the girls to "ACT as if they are unwilling or trying to resist." I wouldn't be for telling the girls to
roleplay resistance, if that's what you mean, since I think that would come out wrong. Though I think it's great to 1)let us see the subject get HYPNOTIZED to
"resist" before succumbing unwillingly or unwittingly as well as 2)emphasize to the subject, before the hypnosis, that she's under no obligation to obey and should
act naturally.
If acting naturally is all you meant, I totally agree. We should get a sense that the subject didn't intend to just start following orders. That comes out best
with a Carla-type, but there are other ways to demonstrate it. Pre-interviews establish the independent personality of the subject. It also helps if the
enslavement takes some time and effort. Very quick, total submission doesn't look like hypnosis, it looks like Simon Says.
I saw a good example of that on the Amanda video produced by hypnovideo--she started calling the hypnotist "master" before any prompting. Plus the whole session
was roleplayed (badly) as if she'd come in for a job interview. Put together, it made the session look like one big act. Thank you for not using "plots," Aaron
(except as part of the hypnosis, like in Nurse Betty).
Subjects who have a subconscious submissive hypnofetish (I got that impression from Gothic Heather) are, I suspect, the best subjects, whereas subjects who are open
submissive hypnofetishists might not have a very dramatic transformation. This was the case with the Kitty video I got from entrancementvideo, though it was
actually quite good. I believe that was largely because of the pre-interview, the time and effort required to dominate her, AND a post-interview where she
revealed--I believe sincerely--that she really had been completely enslaved. Post-interviews can make the session a whole lot sexier the second time through by
revealing just how extreme the transformation really is.
Kitty was also a good performer, something I think that's necessary for the hypnoslave concept, perhaps moreso than erotic hypnosis in general--people who are
creative and "act out to the audience" as they say in theater, like speaking loudly and clearly. Gothic Heather and Lilly were good performers; Jade, not so
much.
Anyone aside from me and Madcap who's got hypnoslave on their mind? Agree/disagree with anything we've said? Anything to add?
(BTW, if anyone wants recommendations about videos from hypnovideo or entrancementvideo, especially if they have any to give, e-mail me.)
I think Charon brought up a lot of good points, and mentioned a lot of the kinds of things I hope to see on the
Hypnoslave website. Obviously you're putting willing subjects under, but having the girls ACT as if they are unwilling or trying to resist is a very important
element in the erotic mind control fantasy.
Other things that I would love to see are the girls saying "Yes, Master" (if you tell them to say it in a flat monotone, all the better), standing at attention with
a blank look on their faces (which I see a picture of on the "About Hypnoslave" page), and walking around with their arms in the air like a sleepwalking zombie.
Like Charon, I don't want to simply see girls being hypnotized for a brief session, told to bark like a dog and that's it, I want to be able to suspend my disbelief
in the fantasty that they have actually been transformed into helpless slaves. It's not even the sex that really does it for me, it's the idea of complete control.
And it looks to me (and I'm hoping my perceptions aren't off) that Hypnoslave will be one of the first websites that provides that kind of fantasy with actual real
hypnosis involved.
I subscribed to the Hypno Fetish website for a while and I enjoyed it (especially the Gothic Heather stuff), but it's not really what I'm looking for. It's not
that it was bad at all, it's just that my area of interest lies more in what I sincerely hope Hypnoslave will be.
Works for me, she was cute and fun to watch. When she did have something to say, she was pretty funny too, "I should have stayed in school...Mom was right."
Ha!
I second Madcap...In fact, I actually came to this site at this minute to post asking about hypnoslave. An
ETA would be really great, if you can, because it's torture to wait without any idea.
I hope you don't mind if I ramble a bit about my hopes for hypnoslave and my very personal philosophy about the hypnofetish. Hypnoslave looks to me like exactly
what I'm looking for in my hypnofetish. I appreciate the pioneering and high-quality you do and consider you an artist as well as a much-needed purveyor of smut
:). That said, hypnogames only occasionally delivers what I really like--not your failing, more my particular preferences.
Sex and hypno-tricks only hold my attention only so long. Not to say that I don't like seeing sex, becaus it naturally goes hand in hand with D/S in some ways.
But just seeing orgasming girls is something you can find in any porn (well, OK, you need to try hard to find one where they aren't faking it), and if I really want
girls to do it on hypnotic command, to be quite honest I'll go to hypnogirls, where I don't have to expect much creativity with the hypnosis at all and can just
enjoy the sex. Getting a girl excited by giving her a fantasy doesn't do it for me, either. As for tricks, they can be funny, but freezing a girl and then
resuming a conversation really isn't erotic to me, it's just an exercise.
To me, what those suggestions lack, and what I want so much from hypnosis, is the exertion of control. It's the transformation that gets me, taking a subject with a
strong or even resistant will (e.g., Carla), manipulating her in various ways (the subject could be conscious or unconscious of it, or vary at different times), and
eventually reducing her to a slave. Maybe taking her back to normal and repeating it in various ways. (It gets even better if you use one subject to hypnotize the
other--control within control. It would be fantastic if you'd do a two-girl session like this.)
That transformation can really come out when you resume a trance in the middle of a session, because there it can be instantaneous and you can even suggest that the
girl initially resist. One example is the excellent Nurse Betty clip 2. I would welcome other "set-up scenarios" as long as they're not too corny. (In fact, I
don't even see a need for the subject to roleplay anyone else.) Another example is the Tina clip where you tell her to try to stay awake and then hypnotize her
anyway. Another example that didn't quite, but almost succeeded (not enough transformation for me) was where you told Beth to "be my slave," and that offered the
possibility of the subject even being fully aware that she's losing control.
Aside from how the subject begins, the transformation of course also hinges on what they're transformed into. To me, it's not enough if you get the girl to say "I
will obey" once and then leave it at that. The control must be apparent and emphasized. For example, I loved the parts of Gothic Heather 2 because where she seems
totally submissive and tranced out. The Beth/Debbie had a great enslavement "process" but didn't really end up with the total enslavement I was hoping for (though
I loved that the girls nonchalantly referred to you as "the master" repeatedly). Allison did this pretty well, although I recall thinking she seemed too willing as
opposed to compelled to obey. (Hm, I admit that's a fine line.)
Having the girls repeat what you say, and of course "yes, master," are always killer. So's the use of watches/pendants, because it suggests there's something
magical to what the hypnotist is doing, making the subject look less like a willing subject and more like the subject of control.
I'd add that there are of course effective ways to use sex and tricks. Using sex to compel a behavior is great (like begging for release). So is tricking the
subject into satisfying the hypnotist somehow. Hypnogirls had a clever trick--make the girl forget a number and replaces it with a sexual phrase, like "fuck me."
Then have her do math. Kind of silly I admit, but it's a mind-fuck, an indirect way of compelling the girl to do what she normally wouldn't, and that excites
me.
I wish I could come up with well-defined rules for what I like, but this is all coming to me right now. Hence the length and sprawling thoughts. Anyway, just
wanted to vent my thoughts and I'd be curious about how others feel about the potential of hypnoslave and what they want to see come from it. I look forward to
seeing your project, Aaron!

Good eye, yes, they are one and the same. As part of the post production process I generally assign them a different name. In that particular circumstance, I made

Hmmm, I just went back through the descriptions... You're right, I don't see it. I know that I did it, and I'm pretty sure that footage didn't end up on the floor

In Message #730 - 04:58 December 03, 2004, you wrote about a hypnosis session that sounds a lot like Stephanie. I quite enjoyed her session... though she
wasn't very verbally communicative, she was quite the cutie and seemed to go under well. So thank you, as always! In your December post, however, you mention that
there was some remote-control robot play during the session, which I missed on the site. Did that part not end up not coming out very well, or were you talking
about a different session that just sounds similar to Stephanie's?
While I've got your attention, I've also got a request that I understand may sound a bit unusual. I don't know if it's from a subliminal impression I got reading
comic books as a kid or what, but something I've always found incredibly erotic when a woman goes under is that instant right when her eyes are losing focus and
rolling up into her head just before her lids close. Usually it only lasts a second, if that, but every once in a while a subject comes along with a natural
inclination to leave her lids open when her eyes are "closed".
I'm sure getting this behavior won't work for every girl you hypnotize, but if you do end up having such a subject in a future session, it would be great if you
could really take full advantage of the opportunity.
Just a little something I dream about hopefully one day seeing on your site, but really all that being said, I love your sessions! Thanks again for all your hard
work!
I've been watching this forum for a long time, and I want to offer up my MSN group so that people can begin
networking about hypnosis. My group concerns Erotic Hypnosis, and general hypnosis. It is EHypnosis@groups.msn.com.

Hi Brian,
Yes, for now the Jade set is finished. There was a little more video footage after the last clip (perhaps 10 minutes or so), and we explored some interesting
things. However, I decided to skip past it for the time being for a couple of reasons. 1) It was kind of awkward to edit. That session was filmed in the past,
before I had some of my infrastructure tightened up. 2) It was one of my earlier expressions of BDSM and some of it wasn't as finely tuned as it is now. 3) It was
slowing down the update process, and I was falling behind schedule, and decided that the easiest way to get back on track would be to move ahead with the newer
shoot (Stephanie).
Aaron, is the Jade set finished? It seems to stop in the middle of something interesting but you've already
started the next set so inquiring minds want to know. :-)
I'm posting this message to announce that I'm looking to hire someone to taking on video editing responsibilities for my hypnosis session footage. Things have
gotten pretty exciting for me these days, and I need to focus my attention on being out in the world hypnotizing women.
Anyone who is interested will need to e-mail their resumes to me at aaron@hypnofocus.com. Additionally they will need to include samples of previous work.
Experienced editors only need apply.
To be considered at all, you must have familiarity with Final Cut and work on the Macintosh platform.
Also, it's a lot of hard work, is mostly thankless, and doesn't pay very good to boot. However, if you're interested in the hypnosis fetish, and would like to be a
part of something big, then this job is for you.
Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH wrote in Message #741: "This article is a good reminder about why you shouldn't use therapy as a pretense for sex."
Aaron, that's right. However, it's also important to point out that although this guy is a hypnotist, hypnosis is not part of the case. There is no evidence that
hypnosis had anything to do with the sex, rather the charges were to inappropriate sexual behavior with clients. As part of his original defence, he used an out
that hypnotists as unregulated lay professionals are not subject to the same conduct rules as licensed professionals. This was thrown out and because of it his
defence collapsed. The inappropriate behavior had nothing to do with hypnosis, it was the abuse of a a therapeutic relationship and establishing sexual relations
with persons seeing one for therapy.
Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't realized from the article that was the case. All too frequently, the media is irresponsible and outright misleading in
their acts of sensationalizing stories, in order to sell more papers or garner more advertising revenue from their sponsors.
At any rate, when a person represents themselves as a doctor, or a therapist, or a healer, or anything of the sort, they are asking for the faith and trust of an
individual, and their family and community, based on the understanding that they are there to help, not to get laid. Society won't tolerate a betrayal of that kind
of trust.
That's why I make it perfectly clear that I'm a perverted hypnotist pornographer, despite the rather loud objections of those who know me. I don't represent myself
as a doctor, or a healer or a therapist or anything of the sort, I'm really all about the nudity and the orgasms. People have said that I should give myself more
credit, and I think it's really adorable when they do - because I can be pretty conceited sometimes... fortunately in a way that comes off as charming...
usually...
However, it's not about how one thinks about one's self, it's about how others will evaulate you. It's much better when sexuality is involved to represent yourself
as being "lower" and have everyone disagree and judge you as being "higher," than it is to represent yourself as being "higher" and have everyone disagree and judge
you as being "lower."
Other people may have strategies that work better for them and for their environments, but this is the one that seems to work out pretty well for me. Although I
could tell, when I was trying to explain it to my host in Paris, that she didn't understand why I felt that way. For me, it really just boils down to all the
villagers with torches and pitchforks.
BTW, I hope your European experience is going well.
Thank you, yes, Europe was quite a trip. I just returned to North America a few days ago, and found that the Canadian winter was even colder than anything I had
encountered in Europe. That pushed me over the edge, and I got hit with the flu pretty hard. So I had a couple of days in bed to rethink the wisdom of choosing to
go to Montreal instead of Phoenix. :-)
I'll post a write up of all the stuff that I did on the trip that would be relevent to this community... however the short version is that the fetish event in Paris
was a good time. I talked with a lot of people about what I do. I hypnotized some girls here and there. I was filmed twice for french television. I went to a
lot of parties. Then I went to Amsterdam and took it easy. I spoke with a few people there who enjoy my websites, but with the holidays coming up, didn't have a
chance to meet with them. I missed going to the UK this time around, where I do a lot of my community building stuff... but didn't stress over it too much, because
I'll be back very shortly. There were a few other bits and pieces here and there. However, it was a good time, I always enjoy these trips. :-)

I'm a submissive husband and sent my wife on the NGH certification course earlier this month (Professional
Hypnotherapy Diploma Course) at:
http://www.ont-hypnosis-centre.com/
Not sure where you live and if they offer this type of training in your area? She had absolutely no knowledge of hypnosis and "puts me under" at will now. Life
is great !!
Master and i have been exploring hypnosis off and on for a few months now, but most of the scripts Wwe use have
not worked. i'd like some help learning what Wwe are doing wrong.. and.. i'd like to discuss the attraction to hypnosis a little more. Before i met Him, i had never
heard of erotic hypnosis.. nor of using it in a BDSM context.

It's been a wild couple of days in Paris... I'll try to write up more details later when I catch my breath. So
far I've done two hypnosis sessions for two french television shows. I'll try to get digital copies of them for the website after they air.
My next main stop is going to be the UK on Wednesday, where I will spend a week. I've already got some appointments scheduled, but if you're out there and want to
meet up for a pint or something, be sure to e-mail me!
I'm off to Paris today for the fetish event. I don't know if I'll be able to find proper network access, so I
might be off and on until Monday or Tuesday. So if you post a message and it takes a few days to moderate, don't panic.
Been lurking and reading for a long while now, and am wondering, how does one go about getting started as an erotic hypnotist?
I have plenty of experience in so-called "Lay Hypnotism", which is to say, I'm not board-certified. I usually do it as a party-trick, or for friends and
acquaintances. Mush like a stage hypnotist, but on a much smaller scale. (I've done 3 people at once, and that was the largest group I've done thus far.)
I've gotten my inductions and patter, flow and timing down wonderfully... it works nearly every time. I've read extensively on technique and theory both, and have
what I consider to be a firm grasp of the methods and possibilities of hypnosis. But as yet, I've refrained from exploring this side of the art.
I'm intertested in quietly delving into this subject, but I have to admit, it's pretty daunting!
How do you ask women if they'd like to be subjects?
What kind of safeguards do you put into place to protect your clients, as well as yourself?
How to go about finding a fitting location, time, etc. etc... It's got to be pretty involved!
Just wondering how to get started... suggestions? Advice? Warnings? Stories? Recipes? Thanks!!
I am taking a hypnosis class, at my college, as I am a psychology major. I find it interesting, that hypnosis would make its way into the fetish world.
Hello Joel, welcome to my message board. Hypnosis has always been my fetish, as such I always find it interesting that it has made it's way in to the college
world. :-)
I have heard of hypnosis dulling pain, relaxing people, and a number of other things, but for sex? Well, I guess you could induce some one into being more
relaxed, or some thing like that. I guess, I don't really have a "Comment." I just more or less, find it very interesting, and "Cool." I have never thought to apply
what I have learned, in a sexual manner. Sounds like fun, and very interesting.
I would advise you to keep an open mind, and give a lot of thought to what you think hypnosis is, what it can do, and what it should be used for. It's no secret
that most college instructors (and I'm sure there are a number reading this message board) have their own paradgim and point of view, and while college classes are
a transmission of information, it also tends to be a transmission of dogma. This isn't a criticism, as I frequently transmit my point of view as well.
If you're having difficulty imagining what erotic hypnosis is or involves, look at my website, HypnosisFetish.com. I've
got over 50 hours of video of complete sessions of just that. I know it sounds like a sales pitch, but I can type endlessly, or you could simply just see it for
yourself.
So is it "Hypno-therapy for sex?"
It can be, if necessary... But here's some advice that I give to a lot of people. Separate the concepts of hypnosis and therapy in your own mind. Hypnosis is
something to it's self as therapy is something to it's self. Hypnosis can be useful for therapy, just as therapy can be useful for hypnosis. However, you will
find yourself severly limited in your ability to conceptualize hypnosis, if you have the two concepts linked in a concrete and inflexible way in your mind.
As a philsophy student, I spent a lot of time thinking about evolutionary explanation of human phenomena. I'm reasonably certain that clucking like a chicken after
watching a pocket watch, or getting relaxed and having therapy sessions were not the evolutionary advantage that allowed the processes and mechanisms (yes, I
intentionally used the plural form for those last two words), to survive in our species for thousands and thousands of years.
Or is the induction actually done as "foreplay," or what have you?
It can be a very effective form of foreplay. When your commands cause a person's body to do things, even mundane things... it can be very powerful and arousing.
Also, if it is done as "foreplay," how do you get the person to concentrate, in such an aroused state.
Generally when one is aroused, they may or may not be in a state of concentration, but in general, they are most certainly in a state of focus.
Wouldn't it be hard to do an induction, when some one is "Hot and bothered." I know I personally wouldn't be able to do an induction, self induced or by some one
else, with a hard on.
No, not at all. In fact, it's not unusual for men to get erections going in to a state of hypnosis, under conditions that would arouse them, or for women to
lubricate and become aroused. Now as far as being aroused as they hypnotist... it really depends on the context. If they context is appropriate for me to express
my emotions externally, then I do, and I enjoy the rush. If it's not, then I set them aside, and express those emotions later. It's really not all that difficult
to exercise self control.

I guess my question, is how exactly is hypnosis used sexually. An induction, isn't exactly "Hot," and done incorrectly can easily render the subject "Asleep."

Well, today was a very busy day... It started at the crack of noon... I woke up feeling kind of hung over... The day before I was up all day and night editing
clips and moving my stuff in to storage in preparation for my impending voyage. I was starting to look forward to 40 winks, when my friend Cameron calls me up and
asks if I want company. In my mind I'm thinking... no, I want to sleep. Out loud I say, sure, keeping in mind that my friends love and adore me and won't be
seeing me for quite some time... and since my place was the party house, not only will they be suffering from the withdrawals that come from my lack of presence,
but also the loss of one of their favorite hang outs.
So I wake up, and I sit down at my desk and get back to work. However, I'm dragging, so I'm doing the more simple and mindless tasks... There were a few
adjustments to make to onlinehypno.com, which I've just migrated to my main server to make it easier to get it in to the flow of things. I also moved hypnoslave,
and I've got a lot of infrastructure level stuff done with that one too. Also, I went out and bought a leather suit, so that I can meet dress code for the Fetish
event in Paris that I'm going to next week. This will be my outfit for hypnoslave... although I wore it tonight for my photoshoot... but I'm getting ahead of
myself.
Then it was time to put more stuff in to storage... A friend of mine then called me and invited me out to dinner, so I got some curry. Then I got home, answered
some AIMs Y!chats and e-mails... Ended up hypnotizing a member's girlfriend over chat... Then took a cat nap before my subject for tonight's photo shoot showed
up.
She was a cute and petite woman. Sort of shy and reserved at first, but there was a well of desire deep inside her. She went very deeply and quickly in to a
trance. I used a crystal and did an eye fixation induction. However, this time around, a progressive relaxation exercise was not needed. She quickly responded to
my voice, fell deep in to my arms, and her body language told me that she was giving herself over to me completely.
She responded extremely well to the balloon test, and when I get a fast induction and a good response to the balloon test, then I know that I'm going to have a good
session.
I did a lot of freeze play with her. I did the Midas Touch suggestion with her. I also used a remote control to turn her in to a robot. So those were my shouts
out to Lord Hypno and Gold Lover (I think I actually mentioned both of you during that segment, so I hope you get a kick out of it).
I had her cluck like a chicken, which was hilarious when I combined that with turning her into a statue... She did some naked jumping jacks. I had a hypno-Santa
Clause thing where she sat on my lap and told me her sexual desires, and when I said merry christmas, she would feel them. She felt hypnotically attracted to me,
and started to visibly flirt with me. While I didn't respond back physically. She's a smoker, so even though she wanted a kiss more than anything, I just didn't
feel comfortable with it. I did however, give her a suggestion that she was going to do as she felt, and she started to rub her hands over me, so I gave her
another suggestion to give me a lap dance so that she could express her feelings.
She forgot how to wear her clothes, and had a hard time getting dressed. Then I played keep away with her bra, using freeze commands to cheat.
There's a bunch of other stuff too... it was a long session, so I'm sure I'm forgetting things... We had the return of Ghengis Kahn.... :-)
She's probably going to be the January or February girl... I've already got a girl processed and ready to go for December (starting today). I don't remember if I
posted it to the board or not. She's the one that came over, did the shoot, and ended up sticking around for a few days. I had her over again the other night, and
she helped me unlock a lot of songs and stages and stuff for Karaoke Revolution. She also helped me pick out my new leather suit.
However, I'm probably going to air tonight's girl's Christmas theme clip out of sequence for the holidays...
Additionally, I don't know I've I've mentioned this before or not... But I've also re-discovered a session that I filmed two years ago in my friend's fetish
dungeon, that went in to storage before I could capture and edit it. It was a good set and the subject was responsive. It had a bsdm master/slave theme, and was a
good time. There's a bit of background noise, so it's not perfect. But it's some pretty hot stuff. I was watching it, and there I am stroking her breasts and
she's orgasming and loving every second of it. I had forgotten about that part, so it was really hot to watch it and see that I was watching a segment of my
life.
Also, I've got my original four sessions (Clover 1, Clover 2, Wendy, Vicky) out of long term storage. So I'm going to complete those sets for the websites.
So things are looking great for the website while I'm traveling. I'm looking forward to filming some sexy European women while I'm over there, and will keep you
posted on how that goes.
In case anyone is wondering, the crystal that I've been using recently in my clips came from Crystal & Fantasy Creations, last year at DragonCon. (No they didn't comp it to me in exchange for advertising
*g*)
I just wanted to say that the whole Natasha / Mickey series is my favorite of them all. I've found hypnosis to
be a big turn-on since I was very young, but watching some of the one-on-one hypnosis sessions at your site and at HypnoVideo.com, I've become fascinated by how
much variation exists in how people react to hypnosis. The Mickey series was especially fascinating for this reason. I would love it if you could post (or sell,
even) some articles on your techniques, your decision-making process on what to use for a specific person, and your experiences on what works and what doesn't. I
also love the idea of an erotic hynosis instructional video. Keep up the good work -- I'm a big fan!
I haven't forgotten about the conversations... I've just been incredibly super busy. I'm doing another European Erotic Hypnosis Community Building trip this year,
and I'm working really hard in Phoenix to make sure that everything is taken care of for while I'm out in the field. This means a whole lot of video clips for the
websites, and preprogrammed updates for my entire time out of town.
Additionally, I have my tentative travel plans made:
December 6 - Leave Phoenix for Amsterdam.
December 7 - Arrive in Amsterdam.
December 8 - Train from Amsterdam to Paris.
December 9-12 - La Nuit Demonia in Paris, a large fetish event. http://www.nuitdemonia.com/ . Also, it's looking like I
might be appearing on one or more French television shows while over there.
December 13 - Train from Paris to Amsterdam
December 15 - Easyjet from Amsterdam to London
December 15 - 22 - London and UK. Meetings in London with friends and members of the community, and hopefully a trip up to Leeds to meet with Kinky Klaire.
December 22 - Easyjet from London to Amsterdam
December 23-26 - Amsterdam, possibly some travel, but who knows with the Christmas holiday probably shutting everything down...
December 26 - Train from Amsterdam to Berlin. Choas Communication Congress. (Hacker convention) http://www.ccc.de/congress/2004/
December 30 - Train from Berlin to Amsterdam.
December 31 - New Years Eve partying with my Dutch friends.
January 1 - Tentative return date, sleeping it off on the plane.
So, if any of you are in the places where I'm going to be, drop me a line. Continental Europe is pretty tightly planned at this point in time, but the week that
I'm spending in the UK is wide open.
Also, I plan on returning to Europe probably by the end of January, so if you don't get a chance to meet up with me on this trip, let me know, because I'm already
starting my plans for the next trip.
So an interesting thing happened to me today, so shocking and amazing was it that I just HAD to get it out here and see if anyone else has experienced
anything like it. Before I start this, keep in mind that I've never met my grandfather, because he died of cancer before I was born. I've never even heard
him speak, per se, at least not at length... he was a psychiatrist, but as I now understand it, he also professed in hypnosis & hypnotherapy. Thanksgiving, dinner,
relatives' house, my uncle & cousin have an old reel-to-reel player (for those of you who are too young to appreciate what a reel-to-reel player is, think of a
cassette tape - remember those? - and enlarge it to the size of a small filing cabinet. That's a reel-to-reel player)
So apparently, my grandfather had saved a few of his sessions onto reel tapes using a suitcase-sized recording device, and my uncle (when setting up the player,
presumably) had found a few boxes of these tapes. Without any intervention on my part, as my family is yet unaware that I've been studying hypnosis independently
for some time now, my uncle put on a tape labeled "hypnosis". Lo and behold, it's a tape of a full-length session of one of my grandfather's clients, and he takes
her through the whole process... explaining what hypnosis is (and isn't), the responsiveness tests, the induction, depth tests, and a simple post-hypnotic
suggestion. That wasn't the eerie thing (even though I was completely unaware of him ever doing this) - the really weird thing was this:
We... are... nearly... identical! Patter, rapport, questions, induction styles, and general speaking style - it was like listening to myself hypnotizing
someone. It just blew my mind, to think that with no outside intervention or information, two generations later, I'd be studying the same thing and acheiving an
almost identical style.
It's really given me a new look on my grandfather, and it was to say the least, very interesting.
Helped along by the responses I got to previous posts, as well as the underwhelming (lack of) response to my last two, I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that I
may have been on the wrong track here.
What I now believe I'm really looking for (rather than having you guys observe and report) is responses directly from submissive women who enjoy being put into
erotic trances through both hypnotism and sexually submissive roleplay, women that experience prolonged arousal states under both circumstances.
Are there any women out there who care to respond by expressing their experience of this prolonged arousal state, under both circumstances, as best as they can?
Aaron, would you please consider asking some of the hypno-submissives you have hypnotized lately to answer? (Or Goth Heather, maybe? Or Allison?)
I enjoyed reading your responses to my last post, and I appreciate your forthrightness.
You wrote: "...when my girlsub is diving, I can hypnotize her; when I do this, her demeanor changes. Likewise, while she is hypnotized I can have her dive; again,
when this happens, her demeanor changes. This is indication that the two states are not the same (although they do not exclude each other)."
I'm puzzled. Does your partner's demeanor change momentarily or entirely for the rest of the session? Is there a difference between the times when subspace is the
first induced altered state, then into erotic hypnosis, and the times when erotic hypnosis is first established, then subspace? And since the erotic part of the
erotic hypnotized trance may or may not kick in immediately, does this have an effect � or have any bearing on the situation at all?
Perhaps it would be helpful if we could address this whole thing in terms of both the subspace state and the erotically hypnotized state ONLY when both have been
significantly deepened, since it is only that very deeply established state of both to which I have been � and are � referring. I was just probably unclear
about this in previous posts. These deeply established, long-lasting, INTERNAL states are the ones I am interested in exploring through this discussion, and it is
these particular states about which I am drawing the parallels between subspace and dominance and submission
I think it's cool you've been on "both sides of the slash." If you don't mind considering this, does it seem to you as if you've gone as deeply into subspace as
your partner? I don't mean to sound sexist, but I think subspace responses do tend to vary from one gender to the other. Do you agree? May I explain: At least part
of the reason I wonder about this is because women's arousal states are extraordinarily different from men's, especially when prolonged (which might just be the
whole reason women find both erotic hypnosis and subspace such desirable states, IMHO). Therefore, I am wondering if the male and female experiences are really
capable of being compared as true counterparts...?). If it's not too personal, I'm interested to hear what you have to say on the subject.
In any case, perhaps your partner would be willing to describe the similarities and differences in the two states as she experiences them independently of one
another, as well as when subspace is established first and vice-versa. Her insight would be appreciated, and I believe it would give some clarity � allowing for
the fact that it is, of course, one person's experience.
And last, when you said, "An obvious counter-example to the claim 'any kind of erotic hypnosis must by its very nature involve dominance and submission' is erotic
self-hypnosis," did you mean that erotic self-hypnosis, by virtue of the fact that it's unpartnered, can't involve dominance and submission? Maybe I haven't
interpreted this correctly, but I think erotic self-hypnosis most certainly has those elements for those who deliberately incorporate them (even "solo"), just as
those who are into "vanilla" erotic play would incorporate "vanilla" elements into their self-hypnosis. I might be going off on a tangent here, but I would still
like to have your point clarified.
Thanks so much for your contributions. I look forward to more enlivening discussion from you and anyone else that cares to contribute in a meaningful way to any of
my ideas.
Like you, I'm glad for increased participation here. Your philosophical response was also stimulating; the only thing is, I got a little lost since I'm unfamilar
with your "six phenomena of hypnosis theory." It would be cool to read about it, that's for sure.
I know you're thinking over some of the points I brought up and the specific questions I asked you last time around. I hope you will address them as you continue
your musings and ideas come to you. Admittedly, there was plenty to think about! By all means, chunk it down. (And pick and choose, if ya wanna.)
As far as the nature of hypnosis, I have my own thoughts (not dissimilar or antithetical to yours) that it is the opening, exploring and tapping into the
imagination which all are the essence of hypnotism, eroticism, dominance and submission, etc. And when the hypnotist's and the subject's imagination are both opened
up at the same time, this is where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts and creates the experience(s).
The imagination is boundless, and everything that has ever been created � the so-called "good," the so-called "bad," literally all that is, has ever been and ever
will be � is created first in the imagination...
Thanks, Aaron, especially for providing this forum for us.
Thank you for your compliments Siegfried Volsung, I'm always very happy when people jump in and start to
participate on the message board, make it feel less like a monolog. :-)
I think that there's some very interesting perspectives on the idea of "subspace," and the idea of "hypnotic trance." I think that people may feel very strongly
about how the two may be the similar and how the two might be different. I'm still musing on it...
One thing that I will share with the community is this story...
When I was in Europe on my first community building trip. I had a lot of time on my hands to think. Towards the end of the trip, I was staying with a friend, and
taking it easy for a few days, and just sort of letting my mind wander... It still hadn't been all that long since my last philosophy course in college, and some
of those concepts were still percolating in my mind. So I started thinking about how there could be an evolutionary explanation for people's ability to enter a
state of hypnosis. I mean, what evolutionary advantage did a bunch of primates get if they stared at a pocket watch and started clucking like chickens?
So I started to think about the various things about hypnosis... and this lead to my idea that hypnosis wasn't necessary one special state of mind, separate from
everything else we are and do, but really a loosly associated set of phenomena... which should sound like my familiar six phenomena of hypnosis theory.
I thought to myself that to be able to creatively visualize, meant that one could look at the world around them and imagine something different, perceive creatively
as opposed to just stimulus and response, and this lead to us having the ability to plan for the future. Direct instruction made it possible for leaders to emerge,
and individual animals to function as groups and achieve more in unity. Post hypnotic suggestion made it possible to cary out long term plans and actions. I'm not
really sure what memory play or regression caused, probably just a side effect of the increase of our mental lives and faculties. I would imagine that sensory
hallucinations came as a side effect of our ability to use our minds to control pain and physical discomfort.
So when I think about basic fundamental questions about hypnosis, I think about it coming from this angle. When I think whether or not there must be a dominance or
a mastery or a submission involved in some way, that becomes a more slippery concept, and I wonder if the concepts are different concepts, or if they are the same
thing, or if one encompasses the other... and to that end I continue my musings on the subject... :-)
Longtime lurker, first-time post for me. I love the work you do, Aaron.
I want to respond to Hypnofetishist's second post about the relationship between hypnotizablity and submissiveness. Here's where I'm coming from: I've had a
lifelong interest in the erotic potential of hypnosis. Just under a year ago, I got involved with a woman who encouraged me to explore this. The framework of our
relationship is scene-based D/s, where I'm the Dom and she's the sub. Hypnosis is an integral part of our D/s play.
I can make my girlsub dive into subspace, and I can put her into hypnotic trance. I've been hypnotized myself; and I've submitted also. Both hypnosis and subspace
are altered states of consciousness; but my experience from both sides of the slash tells me that they are different in nature.
In particular, when my girlsub is diving, I can hypnotize her; when I do this, her demeanor changes. Likewise, while she is hypnotized I can have her dive; again,
when this happens, her demeanor changes. This is indication that the two states are not the same (although they do not exclude each other).
Here's an experiment to think about: In scene with a submissive, try some of the classic tests for hypnotic trance. Try the clasped-hands test, for example. I'm
actually a bit reluctant to do this myself, because I imagine it putting my girlsub into a double-bind, telling her that she can't separate her hands, but ordering
her to try. That wouldn't be a kind thing to do to someone who has submitted to one's power. Maybe the balloon-on-the-wrist test would be better.
I would expect that (if you could sidestep the double-bind issue) would be that even a deeply diving submissive would not respond to these tests in the same way
that someone who is hypnotized.
I guess it just seems to me, writes Hypnofetishist, that any kind of erotic hypnosis must by its very nature involve dominance and submission. A hypnotist
controlling the sensory responses, arousal, clothed-or-unclothed condition, sexual behavior (especially orgasm!) of the subject � who must obey � seems exactly
the same as d/s to me.
By no means all hypnosis involves power exchange. An obvious counter-example to the claim "any kind of erotic hypnosis must by its very nature involve dominance
and submission" is erotic self-hypnosis. There's much, much more to hypnosis than sinister Svengali controlling the helpless Trilby; and there's much, much more to
erotic hypnosis than making someone orgasm on command.
There's nothing wrong with sincere questions sincerely asked. In this particular case I have some very definite answers.
I'm sitting in the lab, processing video, and I came upon a section of the dialog of Mickey's response to
watching herself hypnotized, that I thought was relevant to the current discussion. So I wrote a transcript and posted it here. I'll probably consider my response to the last batch of questions in the context of this specific
conversation in an effort to bring it out from the theoretical realm to a concrete and specific example...
It's a pleasure to meet you, too. Thanks for answering my post. You gave me a good challenge in return!
So to get more specific, it seems that women who accept in advance that agreeing to the hypnosis session also entails agreeing to erotic activity and nudity must
naturally be the submissive type. They know they will do as told when hypnotized, and they know it will be sexual.
When you addressed a similar musing from my first post in your answer, you said, "I can think of any number of supporting facts to argue for and against that
conclusion," it made me wonder what, exactly, might clearly indicate otherwise. In other words, what would substantiate these women NOT being described as
submissive?
I guess it just seems to me that any kind of erotic hypnosis must by its very nature involve dominance and submission. A hypnotist controlling the sensory
responses, arousal, clothed-or-unclothed condition, sexual behavior (especially orgasm!) of the subject � who must obey � seems exactly the same as d/s to me.
And the state of the subject/submissive, whether in a hypnotized trance or in what is termed "subspace"... I personally don't see any difference whatsoever between
the two trance states. It seems that the extended arousal induced by both the practice of erotic hypnosis and d/s is one and the same... What thinkest thou?
I'm thinking you probably experience a different vibe with different women, something that's right there in the room with you. I wonder how wide of a range there is
in the internaI responses from one woman to another � not necessarily something that can be "read" by an observer, maybe not even by the observer who's directly
involved in the process. It's certainly true that women have a variety of ways of experiencing arousal states. And even in the same woman, arousal states can vary
greatly in intensity, profundity, consistency, etc.
With your subjects, do you ever talk about this sort of stuff after sessions? I mean, really in-depth? And if so, did you ever experience the subject hypnotizing
herself while in the process of recounting this kind of intimate detail? Do you ever deliberately initiate this kind of dialog to accomplish just that? You might
well enjoy playing such a delicious little game...
One more morsel of food for thought: Does it not take a certain dominant nature to become accomplished as a hypnotist? And doesn't this seem to increase inevitably
over time, through continued practice? Even more non-"authoritarian" styles of hypnotism are still authoritative.
Sexually oriented or not, it seems every session must ultimately include the hypnotist being in control. But then again, there are those that say in d/s, the
submissive is always the one who's really in control. This transpires, of course, in a much more subtle way than the dominant's overt asserting of ostensible
control.
As for what you said about your own personality, I appreciate that you commented, "I try to be as much like water in my methods and actions as possible, so that I
have the greatest range of flexibility and options..." After all, that is one of the most essential ingredients of successful hypnosis... and one of the secrets of
life itself. Very Zen. Very cool.
Your explorations and adventures are fascinating! I always enjoy checking out what you're up to. You do have quite the lifestyle...
Hello Hypnofetishist, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm very happy that you get a kick out of reading about my crazy little adventures. Thank you for your
complements.
I'm wondering about something. As you probe the psyche, persona, desires and inclinations of the submissive, are you perhaps discovering or gradually coming to
the conclusion that all readily hypnotizable women are submissive, whether they know it (yet), act upon it, etc.?
That's a tough one... I suppose that answering it is in the eye of the beholder... I mean, if I take a dominent tone to my hypnosis technique, then I can imagine
that I would notice subjects acting submissive... That's not necessarily hypothetical, as I do generally go for an authoritarian trance technique and session
structure. On the other hand, I can think of any number of supporting facts to argue for and against that conclusion. I'm not really sure...
And I also wonder if the dominant side of your own personality is now unfolding to a greater degree. After all, you have been effectively acting as a master for
a long time...
That's a tough one... it's true that I spent two years being closely associated with some of the prominent organizers of the Montreal BDSM community... That
definitely gave me some perspectives to consider... Also, as I spend more time doing what I do, and talking about what I do... I've noticed that I've got a quiet
sort of confidence... I try to avoid labeling myself, as much as possilbe, even though I've already got several labels that I've given myself that are pretty
deeply entrenched. Labels have power, and self labels have all the more power. I try to be as much like water in my methods and actions as possible, so that I
have the greatest range of flexibility and options...
As are all of your carefully considered, intelligently expressed replies, your responses to these questions ought to be equally entertaining and edifying.
I hope found it to be interesting/entertaining... :-) Those are pretty broad questions... if you could narrow them down and be more specific, I could do a better
job of epxloring the answers.

In message #709, Hooked said: It is good to see you mention Hypnoslave.com. Soon, I trust? :)
I've been making significant progress on the website... I've been spending an extensive amount of time working with hypno-submissives, and sifting through their
minds, beliefs, desires, and motivations. I've got a pretty good handle on the hypno-doms, but I wanted to make sure to satisfy the desires of the subs as well...
Soon my friend :-)
In message #710, Brian said: Aaron, do you mean you did this prior to the filmed session or that the core belief work was done as part of the taped piece? If the former, could you give us
more details on what process you used? If the latter, then I'll be moving that session up to the top of my pile of vids I need to see (haven't got around to it yet
as I usually wait until the entire set is up before watching).
:-) It sounds like you watch my sessions the same way that I watch the television show "24," all at once...
The core belief work was done as part of the taped session. You'll notice in the first set (which I got up on the site in it's entirety today), she never takes off
her pants. This was the result of a pre-arranged agreement that I wouldn't make her do so, because she didn't feel comfortable with it. I respect those type of
limits, in the same way that any man should respect such a limit from a woman. However, even in this session, we made a whole lot of progress with her feeling
comfortable with being topless around people.
Well, when she called me up and told me that she didn't get the job at the first place, but that she got it at the second place, a place that requires full nudity,
she was kind of worried. So I suggested that we do another session. We didn't get any of the private discussion between the two of us as we discussed it on tape
(now I wish I had), because we were just talking as two friends, but she was really nervous about taking off all of her clothes in front of the camera, and didn't
think that she'd be able to. That's when I approached her with the idea of changing her core belief on the subject. With the topless stuff, I just boosted her
sense of self esteem, but with the pantsless, I used hypnosis to fundamentally change an attitude and beleif. There was a bit more of a discussion off camera, that
got pretty personal... However, the actuall process is documented in the next set of the video.
As a side note, I also filmed her watching herself from the previous session, something that I had always wanted to do, and have been talking about doing for a
while. It's pretty cool.
I think it's going to be time to take a poll, because there's one of four directions that I can go in for the next update. I can continue with Mickey (Natasha), I
can show the girl that I filmed earlier this week (who ended up hanging around for a few days afterwardss), I can show a set that I did back when I was in my
friend's Dungeon in Montreal two years ago that ended up in long term storage before I got it online, or I can show some of the clips from the original Clover and
Wendy sessions, that have also been in long term storage for a long time... so many decisions... At any rate, I'm in the Lab right now, working night and day to
get all this stuff in to the system, so as far as I can estimate, I think the websites are good for material until... probably the end of January... :-) ...and
we're still in a busy production, filming phase.... so if anyone has any specific ideas or suggestions that they'd like to see, now's a good time to e-mail me!
:-)
"She was really really nervous about being fully nude, so I asked her how she would feel if I used hypnosis to alter her core beliefs on the matter. She seemed
skeptical at first . . . . She seemed pretty motivated to give it a try, so that she could be successful at her job. So we did the session, and you wouldn't believe
the effect it had on her, it was amazing."
Aaron, do you mean you did this prior to the filmed session or that the core belief work was done as part of the taped piece? If the former, could you give us more
details on what process you used? If the latter, then I'll be moving that session up to the top of my pile of vids I need to see (haven't got around to it yet as I
usually wait until the entire set is up before watching).
I've been holding off on talking about Mickey (Natasha - she asked me why I called her that on the website, and
I said because usually I change people's names. She said, don't, just call me Mickey, so I'm going to have to go through the system and rename that set *g*), until
after her set was finished. However, life is getting real busy and real interesting, so I feel that if I don't write something, it may never get written.
Mickey went to try out for her first job at the topless only place. She didn't get that job, but she got one at a full nude place. So she called me up and told
me, and I asked her how she felt about that. She said she was kind of nervous. So I told her that I'd be willing to do another session with her, to help her out
with that.
She came over, and wanted to see some of her clips. So I showed them to her, and finally got a chance to tape a model's reaction to seeing themself hypnotized. So
that's going to be going up after this set finishes. She was really really nervous about being fully nude, so I asked her how she would feel if I used hypnosis to
alter her core beliefs on the matter. She seemed skeptical at first, because although I hypnotize her a lot, I keep it light and fluffy. I've never really gone in
and altered a core beleif in her mind before. She seemed pretty motivated to give it a try, so that she could be successful at her job. So we did the session, and
you wouldn't believe the effect it had on her, it was amazing.
So the aftermath of the story is that she got her job, she's very comfortable and confident with it. She's faced her fears and come out a stronger woman for it. I
went in and gave her some support on her first night, and bought her first lap dance. :-)
First, I want all my website subscribers at HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com to
know that there is a big update being uploaded now, and should be in the system very shortly. I've got a lot of material filmed, and we're in really good shape on
that front, now I'm just running in to a bottle neck in terms of time and energy.
Yesterday (Wednesday November 3) I woke up in the afternoon, as is my custom, and was disappointed to find that the election results were not some sort of bad acid
trip flashback. It's pretty depressing to see how that turned out.
However, there were also 6 instant messages waiting for my attention, and after I checked on the state of the universe going to my daily links, I started to talk
with people.
One of them is a lady who has her own Yahoo Group, that I am a member of, and have been for a while. I was pleased to chat with her, and the conversation got kind
of deep and lasted for several hours. I haven't had a chance to review the transcript and expand and meditate on some of the concepts we explored, but let's just
say that I have a whole lot of food for thought for the continuing development of HypnoSlave.com.
After talking with everyone on the net, and looking in to all the things that need to be looked in on, I got back to work on some editing, processing and uploading
of the Natasha set. I know it's been a few days since the last update, but I've always been good about filling in the missed days, and this is a one man show, so
sometimes there's going to be lag. Especially while I'm doing the whole stage show thing. I'm cooking up a backlog of footage right now, and working hard to get
it all edited and ready to be placed in to the system, so hopefully in the future we'll have less of this sort of a "buffering issue," with the new updates being
caught up in post production.
My old photographer, who I still do some things with from time to time, brought over an attractive young woman (19 years old), and when she got here, she was very
shy. After a while, she asked me if I had any band aids. I told her yes, and she pointed down at her feet, where her shoes had been doing a number on her feet. I
said something sympathetically, and went to get my first aid kit. Sat her down in the bathroom, and proceeded to clean and dress her cuts. So there's not going to
be any foot fetish shots in her set.
After that I gave her a cup of tea, and asked her to make herself comfortable on my couch, while I finished setting up in the studio. When I came back out, she
started to open up more, and she asked if hypnosis can be used to make her more self confident, and less shy. I told her it could. She asked how many times would
it be needed, and I told her that it would be as many times as necessary, but if done right, only once would be required. This seemed to make her feel better.
We started the session, and she went in to a trance quickly and easily. I used an eye focus technique on my crystal necklace, and then moved to progressive
relaxation. I tied all of the suggestions that we did through to her self confidence, including removing her clothes, naked jumping jacks, and of course, orgasms.
It was a good time and a good session. She was fun, and sexy, and a wonderful person. ... and as far as her self confidence goes, she really opened up out of her
shell, it was wonderful to see.
After the session, she made a few phone calls, and it appeared that she was just sort of crashing around from place to place, and it looked like she was inbetween
places. She didn't really like the last place all that much, and she was having trouble getting ahold of her friends for the next place. So, I told her that I
knew it sounded sort of creepy pornographer of me to offer, but I spend a lot of time crashing around from place to place, and know what it's like, and that she
could stay the night if she wanted.
Now, for those of you who have been over to my place, you know that it's sort of a laid back, people coming and going sort of party apartment, and besides, every
since my girlfriend moved back to her own country for a while for a job, my apartment seems a little large.
So she ended up staying over, and I had forgotten to eat yesterday (another thing that happens when your girlfriend is a few thousand miles away, *g*), so I cooked
us a chicken dinner, while we sat down to watch a movie (Party Monster, by the way - Mc Cully Culkin and Seth Green - good movie). After that, we tried to smoke my
hookah (shisha), but I was having trouble getting it working, and then we ate. She still had a little energy left (I think it was the awake refreshed and alert
suggestion), so we played some video games until she started to get tired (Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, by the way - Capcon).
So, she crashed out on my couch, and I tucked her in with a freshly laundered comforter, thus completing the circle of being paternal that had begun when I but band
aids on her boo boos.
I'm a littled tired now, so I'm going to leave it at that. Tomorrow I'll try to write a little bit about Mickey (Natasha) and how her auditions for the exotic
dancer job turned out, and it's aftermath.
Right now, the number one question that I have been receiving has been: "Aaron, how did the stage hypnosis show
that you did at the swinger's event go?"
To which, I respond in my typical infuriating way: "I really don't know, I'm not sure how I feel about it, and will need to meditate on it a bit."
Invariably this leads to: "But just between you and me, tell me about it..."
To which I reply, equally invariably: "No really, I haven't finished thinking about it, and I'd prefer to collect my thoughts and consider my words..."
When you have thousands of people reading what you write, you start to learn the value of giving some thought to your words. It's never a bad idea to drag your
feet a little and wait until you've considered your words.
Of course, the fact that I returned home the day before Halloween, and had spent most of the last couple of days soaked in alcohol didn't assist in my alacrity in
the matter.
At any rate, I think I've got my thoughts sorted out, and am now ready to share them with the community... In respect of the environment, there were no pictures
taken, nor was there any video made, so I'm going to have to fall back to my own memory...
First, my hosts were wonderful to me. They rolled out the red carpet and were really great. I haven't been treated that well while traveling since I was a
computer consultant in a previous life time... The community surrounding the event was great too. I met a lot of wonderful people, and have a lot of respect for
the community that they've created for themselves up there.
The trip out there was for the most part uneventful. I wore my cat ears, and was amused at having about 20 encounters with random women as a result of about 3
dollars worth of felt and plastic. It's a habit that I acquired from my old photographer... when he started hypnotizing people, I figured I'd take on one of his
traits to keep balance in the universe. :-)
I stayed at The Embassy Suites the first night, and went down to the complimentary happy hour (drinks are free, just tip the bar tender), restricted myself to a
single cocktail (which in Utah, is required to be weaker by law evidently), and then conspicuously read a book on hypnosis. No random encounters presented
themselves, and I didn't see any promising opportunities, mostly couples and families...
I met up with my hosts, enjoyed a pleasant dinner, had another cocktail, and enjoyed the conversation. Then it was time for a dip in the hot tub, and a couple of
minutes in the sauna. I always enjoy a dip in the hot tub and some time in the sauna, so that was a good time. Then afterwards we eased in to discussing
hypnotizing his wife. Besides the show at the swinger's event, I was also up there to do some hypnosis with his wife. She was nervous at the prospect of being
hypnotized, but prior discussion combined with the time that we had all spent together seemed to help her overcome her fears, because towards the end of the night,
I hypnotized her. She made it very clear that she only wanted to be relaxed, so that's what we did. She was a great trance subject, and I enjoyed hypnotizing her
very much. As the session progressed we touched on a few of the deeper issues surrounding why they wanted me to hypnotize her.
The next day we made our way to the event. While setting up for the show, I realized that I needed a special adapter, so we went off to Radio Shack. It was there
that I more or less hypnotized the cute young lady working there. I pretty much stopped short of commanding her to "sleep now." Although she was hip to being
hypnotized, I really couldn't gauge her age, and being in Utah made me a little reserved, so I wasn't nearly as flirty as I would have been otherwise. At any rate,
I had a show to get ready for, so I left the door open for the future consideration, and we went back to rearrange the room from the formal rows it was in to the
theater in the round style that I prefer.
Then it was time for dinner. As a matter of principle, I make it a point not to eat before a show. There's a number of reasons for this, and all of them involve
bodily processes that I'd rather not go in to detail on. However, I enjoyed the social aspect of dinner, and was delighted to meet two local stage hypnotists who
would be attending the show. They were wonderful gentlemen, and I enjoyed meeting with and talking with them a great deal. I found the Polygamy Pale Ale to be
humorous, although I don't drink alcohol before a show, and I pointed out that their home made root beer was the best I'd ever had. When they seemed to doubt that
it was the best root beer I'd ever had, I explained that the same principles of hypnosis that allows me to give people the best orgasm of their lives, also allows
me to give myself the best root beer of my life... it's important to take pleasure in the simple things. We had a little debate over how my comments were affecting
the table next to us... All in all, dinner was a good time.
It was now time to go back for the show. I started somewhere around 9:00 p.m. and ended somewhere around midnight. There was a single intermission of an amount of
time that I'm not sure of, perhaps 10 to 20 minutes. I had roughly 50 chairs in a two ring circle, with room to pass through at north, south, east and west. I met
with a few people before the show started and got to know them a little bit. One member of the audience told me that she was very easy to hypnotize, and always got
hypnotized at stage shows. One gentleman wanted to see his lady companion (I don't remember whether it was wife, girlfriend, friend, or what) and she didn't seem
particularly adverse to the idea. During the show, I would hypnotize both of them.
My host's wife also volunteered to be a part of the show, which was nice, because if there is anyone in the audience who I have post hypnotic trance suggestions
with, I like to place them in to a quick trance, just to get things started quickly.
When it was time to get started, people started coming in, and they kept coming in. Soon it became apparent that we were going to need more chairs. Fortunately we
were able to do it without having anyone be too incredibly far away. You could tell that there were people who wanted to lurk in the back and "observe from a safe
distance." However, the way I set up the environment for my shows, there shouldn't be any "safe distances," as everyone should be involved in some degree.
The number of people made it sort of a challenge to get through the introduction part of the show in a relatively quick amount of time. However, I really believe
in this part of my show, and it's very important to get the mood established. I think I may just have to cap the shows at a certain number of people for a while or
something. About 50 seems to be a good number for this style. I interacted with everyone to some degree, but I suspect that I wasn't really able to form as
personal of a bond with everyone as I did at my previous show. Of course, I knew most of the people at the previous show. However, I don't think I was as able to
keep all the answers and little clues about who each person was about with such a large audience. On the other hand, with all the people that I had met prior to
the show, it was easy for me to keep track of them, so I still have some meditation to do on this subject. At any rate, I start my shows off by introducing myself,
then I introduce any other hypnotists present, then the support staff, and then the audience. This is a big part of how I build rapport, how I help to get everyone
personally involved, how I break the ice, and how I begin to gauge who I should approach for what.
A couple of people were shy during the introductions, and a few people were a little impatient (but that's okay, because that type of person tends to get bored and
leave). However, most people were funny and energetic and interested. Most of the people there were in Halloween costumes, and some had some very interesting
devices with them.
After that, I think I did a post hypnotic trance trigger with my host's wife. I talked about hypnosis a little bit, and then started looking for a guy to start the
show with. Usually I've found that if you start with a guy and get that out of the way, then you can safely go with more of a focus on the women, without it
seeming sleazy or anything. The guys were all squeamish, and while I invoked the will of the people, it seemed that peer pressure affected this audience less than
my previous one. None of the guys wanted to go forward with it, so I moved on to a very attractive woman and proceeded to do my handshake instant induction.
She went very deeply in to a trance state. Then I left her there with good feelings. I went on to the other two ladies that I met before the show, and did an eye
fixation induction with them, using my crystal. At one point I asked four people in a row to close their eyes, adopt a posture, and listen to my voice. After
about 1 minute, three of these people had opened their eyes, changed their posture, and made it pretty clear that they weren't going to go along with it any
further. The fourth person went in to a very deep trance.
At one point, I noticed that I'd forgotten about the first lady, and went back to give her some release from the pleasure feelings, and when I asked her if she was
ready to orgasm, she said that it was too late and that she already had. Just about that time it was time for intermission.
I always have an intermission, because I feel it's important to have an opportunity for anyone who is freaked out by hypnosis to be able to leave if they desire.
Also, some subjects, especially those who don't believe in it or don't expect that they'll be hypnotized, seem to not want to say anything about it during the show
for fear that they might mess up the show, so intermission gives them an opportunity to talk with me and an out for them too if they want it. I had two of my
hypnotic subjects approach me during intermission and ask not to be used for the second part of the show. Naturally, I respected their wishes.
Upon returning from intermission, the crowd was down to about 40 or so people, which made me feel much more comfortable. They all seemed to be pretty in to what I
was doing, and seemed to be cool with my style. I'm not really about making people jump through hoops during my show, and it's really about leading up to the
orgasm on command. During intermission, a gentleman approached me and said that he would volunteer to be hypnotized, since none of the other guys were up for it.
He told me that he knew one of the people that I hypnotized, and that was a convincer for him. I did a handshake induction on him as well. Then I triggered a
trance in the remainder of the subjects that I was still working with, and had them all softly count back from 50 going deeper with every number, and repeating a
sentence between numbers from 10 to 1. While they were doing this, I talked with the audience a bit.
Throughout the night, I noticed that there were a number of people there who wouldn't make eye contact with me. They would be watching and listening to me, and
then when I turned to look at them and smile, they would immediately turn away. I brought attention to this for a few of them, and by the end of the night, they
were finally able to look at me without getting all nervous. It felt difficult to get the normal personal conversational feel in this environment that my shows are
about. It really seemed that there was a feeling that they were waiting for me to do things to them and make them do things, or more accurately, make others do
things so they could watch and laugh or whatever. However, the thing about my show and the style of hypnosis that I use during it, it's more about the group
environment. Without that feedback, it's hard for me to gauge the comfort level of the group, and with people not talking, other people not even making eye contact
with me, and some of my subjects feeling uncomfortable about being hypnotized, there wasn't a whole lot of things that I felt comfortable doing. I'd rather be
thought of as boring, than to push too hard. I guess that's just my pornographer's instinct kicking in.
Towards the end, I lined up three of the women, and started to build up pleasure to orgasm. Two of the women responded very well to orgasm, one of them pretty much
falling to the ground in pleasure (nearly taking me with her). The other one was cooperative, but she wasn't very loud and I would later find out, didn't orgasm
(which caused her to feel kind of bad, because she really wanted to - this happened to me with two subjects, one during the show and one outside of it). I didn't
push with the last one. After that, I had them all sit down, and we did a bit of a finally with another set of orgasms. The first time was the best oral sex of
their lives, and the last time was the best sex. At about that time I was told that my time limit was up, and they apologized that they had to cut me short, but
although I didn't say it, I was somewhat relieved as well. I didn't feel very connected to the audience, so I didn't really know where to take things.
After the show, two more ladies asked me to hypnotize them. I asked them to pull me out of the crowd a little later, but in retrospect, I suppose I should have
just done it right then and there, because there wasn't a whole lot of later left, I would come to learn. I met with a few people, accepted a few compliments, and
then went to decompress after the show. That's when I found out that they stop serving drinks at midnight. I went to the bar tender and asked if I could buy a
drink. He said that it was after midnight so he was closed, and welcome to Utah. I told him that I had just gotten off work and could really use a drink... I
won't say anything more about that...
I socialized a bit for the rest of the party, found myself some cocktails at a room party, and got nice and toasty, since it was time to let loose and relax a
little bit. The next day, I we checked out of the hotel. I got asked to hypnotize a lady while buying some fast curry (didn't, there wasn't any time, but I gave
her my card and promised her that I was hers, next time I made it to Salt Lake City), and then enjoyed a pleasant afternoon chat with two of the ladies that I had
hypnotized.
Then it was time to go home, and on the way back I wore my cat ears and was physically petted by several women.
So there you go, this is pretty much my trip, with a little bit of editing to respect the privacy of individuals, and making allowances for the fact that it's
coming all from memory. Overall, did I have a good time? Yes. Did I think my show was good? Yes, as well. There were a number of individuals that were very
impressed with what they saw and what they experienced. Those are the type of people that I'm trying to reach with my concept of this stage show. Anyone who is
there to see me make one of their friends embarrassed is going to be disappointed. I did pick up a number of things that I hadn't considered before, and ultimately
my show is strengthened for the experience.
Well call me what you want... but I use my stage name 'cause I'm in the Phone Book and I get enough nut Jobs
online (not that any HypnoFocus susscribers are nut jobs) so... Fonteneau is my preferred moniker.. or just David if you've met me FTF or online.
In Message #702 Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH wrote: David Fonteneau
Heh, you are absoultely correct, that's the spelling that he uses for his shows... He also uses the other spelling, and sometimes when I'm reaching for the right
spelling, I get them both... Good thing he's one of those hypnotists whose name we're allowed to use! :-)
Ah, about an hour away from leaving for my SLC show!
I happen to know for a fact that there's a number of skilled and talented hypnotists in Georgia . . . including my good friend David Fontenot.
I would second the endorsement for David Fonteneau. He knows from which he speaks. David is a skilled and knowledgeable hypnotist. You
can contact him via his website at http://www.geocities.com/fun2hypno/ If he can't help you, then he may be able
to point you in the direction of someone who can. Aaron's suggestion about the Atlanta-based Yahoogroup is right on the money as well.
I am interested in finding a hypnotist to work with my wife. We live in the middle Georgia area. If you are interested, please email me to find out more details. I
am very serious about this and your help would be appreciated.
I happen to know for a fact that there's a number of skilled and talented hypnotists in Georgia. Two Y!Groups that you might want to look in to are: Atlanta Experimental Erotic Hypnosis which is full of a lot of good hypnotists, some of which that I've met in
person, including my good friend David Fontenot. You may also want to consider Tennessee Erotic
Hypnosis which is a newer group moderated by a gentleman that I chat with online frequently.
Of course, I travel to Georgia from time to time (I love the place, and go there at the slightest opportunity, usually for conventions), so you never know about
that as well...
Speaking of Hypnosis in Georgia, my friend David is having a show out in Atlanta, you can find information here. He's known on the internet for his shows at Hooters, and also for his stage
shows at the Fantasm Convention (coming up next April, and this year is going to be full of a lot of people in the online
hypnosis fetish community). He puts on a good show, and part of the proceeds are going to help make society a little bit better.
Anyways good luck, and remember to make sure that your wife is as interested in being hypnotized as you are! ;-)
Not new to the website, but new to the board. After giving it some time to see if this hypofetish thing (to me!) was really just some porno in a different form vs.
an actual interest of mine, I've come to the realization that this is a hobby I'm looking to get into. I've avoided the boards until now, so I'm saying "Hello" for
the first time to Aaron and the rest. BTW, Aaron, gl with your show Friday.
See you on the boards-
Hello Charles!
I think it's great that you've dived in and posted a hello to the board. I put a lot of work in to HypnoFocus, and it always makes me happy when people use it as a
resource to help develop and explore their interest in the erotic hypnosis fetish.
Feel free to tell us more about your interests, if you'd like. I've found that in my own personal experience of talking about my interest in hypnosis, it's helped
me to develop and clarify the subject for my own point of view.
Also, thank you for the well wishes and good vibes for the show on Friday. It's going to be at a swinger's event, and I'm looking forward to it a great deal. I
leave Phoenix tomorrow afternoon, and then I'll be back Saturday night (unless something incredible and unexpected happens, which compells me to throw caution to
the wind and blow off my return flight! lol), so there might be a couple day lag on the moderation of hypnofocus posts.... but I'm going to try to peek in from time
to time while I'm out, to make sure that things continue to run smoothly here.
I consider myself to be very fortunate to have so many people out there rooting for me to do a good job, and providing me with positive support, that I feel like I
can achieve just about anything! I'm very grateful to everyone for that.
In fact, just today, I've made arrangements with an old friend of mine, who is a Fetish promoter up in Canada to do a little mini tour in Ontario in late November
before I leave for Europe. I'm also probably going to be doing a show in New Mexico the first weekend of November, and another show in Phoenix the second weekend
in November. All of these dates are a little tentative right this moment, so be sure to check my stage show
website for more details!
At any rate, thanks for dropping in, and we hope to see more of you around HypnoFocus!
Hey everyone... Hypster sent in that online hypnosis chat transcript that he had mentioned before, so you may
notice a new link on the menu above [ Transcripts ]. Feel free to check it out, he's got a good online technique.
If anyone else wants to share transcripts, just e-mail them to me at aaron@hypnofocus.com.
(Please note that I still need to create a HypnoFocus.com template for the chat transcripts, but I'm super busy right now, and I wanted to get it up before it got
shuffled off to the back burner and forgotten about...)

Always good to have a blast from the past on the message board! Now that you have it book marked, I hope to see more of you around! :-) It's good to hear that
you've been working on your skills and having a good time.
Transcripts always are interesting and fun to read... Perhaps I should set up a new section of HypnoFocus for online trance chat transcripts? Anyways, if you need
to, you could just e-mail them to me, and I'll put them up on a new part of the site, that I'll program when I get home in a couple of days.
My personal trip is almost completed, it's been wild and crazy, I'll post more about it later. On the plus side, one of the things that I went to do on this trip
was to visit with some of my older material, so expect some interesting things to come of that soon, as well!
Back in black! ... or at least a nice shade of blue.
Well, I've just recently stumbled upon the hypnofocus post-board again, and this time I remembered to bookmark it :)
The last time I was here, I was used to reading post after post from Exile... and now I see "Aaron" making all these posts, and I can't figure out why for the life
of me there's someone with the same real name as exile making all these po-----
Yeah. I turned a new shade of red after that one ;)
Anywho, warm greetings to all of y'all once more. I've been honing some online skills, deepening some trances, and creating some 'good vibrations' - not the Beach
Boys song kind, either. Transcripts will soon follow if the response for such things is present; I'll link to some if I can get them securely online - ab
populus, pro populus
Ah, just thought I'd touch base with everyone. I'm halfway through a personal trip that I'll be on for another
week (I get back to my studio on Thursday). Then after that I'll be booking some more shows, expect announcements on that to start popping up.
Natasha is going well on HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com, and things are looking exciting for this winter.
Also, I've got my plane ticket booked for Europe, for December, so for all my friends across the pond, look forward to another community building trip. Feel free
to start sending me e-mails so that I know where in Europe you are, and I'll be able to coordinate my plans. It's looking like I'll be in France in early December,
and Amsterdam for New Years. I've got plans to visit Germany and England. So if you're in any other country, fire me off an e-mail right away so that I can plan
to visit.
I've posted some clips from my stage hypnosis show last Saturday night here.
The show went really well, there weren't any problems to speak of, and everyone had a great time. The place was filled, and there was a good feel to the
atmosphere.
Remember, I'm still booking shows for the later half of October, and in to early November. I'm doing shows for every size, ranging from small parties, to medium
sized hookah lounges, to special events of a few hundred people. Since this a promotional tour, I'm only asking for travelling expenses.
Also, I've made arrangements for my annual community building trip to Europe. I'll be there throughout the month of December. I'll be attending a Fetish party in
Paris in the early part of the month. I'll also be making myself available for appearances in Europe throughout December. Anyone who is interested, should e-mail
me.
Well, my stage hypnosis show last night was a smashing success. I'll be posting some video clips and pictures
sooner or later... now it's time to get some rest!
Wow, it's Saturday already... two hours away from the opening of the doors to my stage hypnosis show at a
hookah lounge in downtown Tempe. Exciting times! I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes....
I threw a party tonight, and had two guests from the online erotic hypnosis community from out of town. The party wasn't the wild bash that I had two weeks ago.
At that party, a friend of mine and his girlfriend asked that I hypnotize the girl, I agreed, and before you know it she's topless and having orgasms on command.
Then she asks for permission to use the bathroom. Yet, for some reason she really doesn't want to wear her bra or her shirt. She gets this look of panic on her
face, and dreads crossing the yard and a half from my office to the bathroom, with the party still going on. I suggested that even though she really didn't want to
wear her shirt, she could use it to cover up a little bit, and then she made a mad sprint from my office to the bathroom, and another sprint back... good times!
However, at the party that I threw tonight (Friday night), we did do a session with a cute woman, and she will be up as soon as I can capture and edit the footage.
The session that I did with Kat, at DragonCon only has I think two clips left, and those should be up by tomorrow morning. Then I set my import of tonight's
session, and start preparing for my stage show tomorrow night.
Aaron,
Computer went down. Just got your reply back. I sent you an e-mail on your severed dreams e-mail account. Please read. Said you were going to be in my area. Would
like to meet up with you. Please read read my e-mail. Let me know if there is anything I can do while your up to make your visit more pleasent.
William Kimbell
It's official, the showtime for my first show of the
tour. It's going to be held at a local hookah lounge called Red Sea, which is just across the street from ASU in sunny Tempe AZ. There's only space for 50 people,
and most of those seats are going to go out by invitation only. However, I'm holding back a few extra seats for members of the Online Erotic Hypnosis Community.
If you want to claim one of these seats, e-mail me as soon as possible.
Two members of the community, who also happen to be friends of mine, have already claimed their seats... If they want to announce who they are, then that's up to
them. At any rate, both are really great guys to hang out with as well as being accomplished hypnotists. I'll give you a hint, most of you have probably seen
pictures and or video from them at some time or another on the net.
One more thing, since the hookah lounge is rented out, hookahs will only cost 3 dollars each. That's basically at cost.
It's going to be an amazing show, and there's still a few more surprises that I'm keeping to myself for the time being.
Also, I've been scheduled and confirmed for a show at a private siwngers party in Salt Lake City later this month. If any of you fit in with that community, e-mail
me, and I'll forward your information on to the event organizers.
There's still time to book me for private events ranging from a couple of hundred swingers to 30 or so people in a private residence. Since this is a promotional
tour for me, I'm only asking for travel expenses from those who would like me to come out. These get cheaper if I'm geographically near the day or the night
before. Also, Halloween is still available, although after pointing that out, I suspect that it won't be for long!
A while back, I read Ormond McGill's "The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnosis"... didn't have much that was
really new to the web-savvy, but not a bad read!
Re: Aaron Message #679 - 17:06 September 29, 2004
No matter how much work I've got on the table, and no matter what obstacles appear in my path, with so much backing from everyone, I know I'll always make it
through!
On October 1, as my way of saying thanks, I'll have a very special announcement, that I'm sure you all will enjoy a great deal.
Well, it's October 1, and so now it's time to make my special announcement. Until midnight Halloween night, I've changed the pricing structure for HypnosisFetish.com. One month memberships will remain the same at $29.95 for 30 days. However, the recurring memberships
are priced at $24.95 for the first 30 days, and then $9.95 every 30 days recurring after that.
There's a couple of reasons why I want to do this. First and foremost, I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. The community has been very
supportive to me, and now I want to be supportive back to the people in the community who keep me going.
Next, since I'm going to be doing my stage show at various hookah lounges, bar lounges, and private parties
throughout this month, I'd like to make it easier for people to check out my website who may be exposed to the Erotic Hypnosis fetish for the first time.
So, I don't know what I'll do to the price when November 1st comes along. It really depends what the finances look like after this month. However, I will honor
this rate for the lifetime of the membership, so if you get a recurring membership, that recurrs at 9.95 every 30 days this month, and next month the prices of new
memberships go up, you'll still have your 9.95 every 30 days membership. Naturally, if you cancell and resubscribe, you'll have to go with whatever the going rate
is.
Anyway, that's my announcement. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. If anyone has any questions, please e-mail them to me privately,
and if there's a common question, then I'll make a public post.
Re: Fonteneau Message #681 - 18:11 September 30, 2004

Two of your personal favorites, if I recall correctly. I think I'll add them to the top of my queue, after this one...
... and where did you find that picture? I thought you were supposed to be busy keeping the metric system down! :-) Shhhhh, don't tell anyone, but I've been
pushing this self taught because of all the libraries that I grew up around angle. If people find out that I came from a long line of hypnotists, passing their
secrets through the ages in order to fight the fnords, then THEY'LL be on to me! LOL
I'm cross posting this e-mail from the TXHypnosis Y!Group. I know that the folks over in Texas have been
trying to set up some hypnosis related events for a while, and I would be personally flying out there myself, if I didn't have a bunch of people coming in to town
for a party at my house on Friday, followed by my stage hypnosis shows on Saturday October 9th, and Sunday October 10th.
Good luck everyone, and have fun! ...and post here and let us know how it went!

I'm sending this to the list as an FYI, with the reminder/warning that this will be an adult activity event, with a decided leather/BDSM/fetish bent to it. Still,
it's open to all interested parties who RSVP to the address in the attached message.

ADD (Austin Dominant's Discussion group)
Our regular monthly meeting on the first Friday has been delayed by a week and will be held on Friday, October 8th. We are also combining our meeting with the
October AsC meeting to present a special, hands-on workshop followed by a Party.
When: Friday, October 8th, 2004, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm - socializing, eating and drinking,
7:30 pm till whenever - Topic discussion followed by play party. New people are very welcome, as always.
Where: This Workshop/Meeting/Party will be held at our ranch (Indian Oak Stables). For directions, if you need them, please contact me (Ken) at kenneth@onr.com
Topic: We've been talking about it for a couple of months now, and it is finally time. Several people in ADD have been experimenting with hypnotism, and Indigo's
presentation at the GWNN BASH wetted everyone's appetite even more. So Indigo, Se�or Jaime, and Andy will be leading a thorough, hands-on, hypnotism workshop with
discussions, explanations, demonstrations, Q & A, and hopefully a chance for anyone that is interested to try either hypnotizing someone or being hypnotized, or
both. Bring a partner or find one at the meeting. This should be great fun, and hopefully we will have the time and space needed to cover a lot of ground, more
completely than at a short demo or presentation. We will discuss theory, safety, different hypnotic techniques, and provide a suggested reading list for folks to
continue their study of the subject after the workshop ends.
Since it's obviously a topic and a format that is facilitated by having folks in pairs (either couples or workshop partners) we are combining forces with AsC and
also inviting all interested lifestyle people to attend. For more information on ADD, the meeting topic or Party rules, contact Ken at kenneth@onr.com. Please drop
me an email if you are planning to attend. Thanks.
ADD is the Austin Dominant's Discussion group. We are a group of Dominants/ Masters/ Owners/ Tops/ etc... who meet on the first Friday (usually) of every month at a
local restaurant or private home for a discussion of issues important to us. We also occasionally have local, regional and national speakers, demos, and the
sporadic play party.
If you are seeing this post on the "GWNN_intro" (or other) list and would like to join the ADD e-mail group to join the discussions and get notices of future
meetings and topics for discussion, then feel free to join the E-group (at Pillory, not Yahoo) we have set up for the group. You can subscribe by sending e-mail

regarding post #670... some people take what they do way too seriously, running around on the internet with a
handle like "hypnoticeyes86" makes me wonder too. If hypnosis is as perfectly safe as all the books tell us then what the heck she care what we do? We have every
right to do whatever we wish with our heads and consciousness or let someone else do to/with us.
She sounds like the kind of person who thinks ONLY "professionals" should be allowed to do this sort of thing. Hell, why do we not just make it illegal for any
'non-professional' to practice hypnosis, sure would not want anyone exploring their consciousness or expanding ther mind, would we? Wonder if she thinks we should
not teach sex education either; just tell them to, "wait for marriage and stick to missionary position."... Yeah, that works swell!

What hypnosis book are you reading right now, because with the thousands and thousands of daily visitors to this website, I'm sure there must be a whole lot!
I'll start. I'm reading "A Teaching Seminar with Milton H. Erickson," Edited with Commentary by Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D.
It's pretty good. Mainly I like it because, judging by his words, Mr. Erickson was as fond of Arizona as I am, and it's always nice to have that local reference.
The book is structured as basically a transcript of a week long seminar that he gave, so by about half way through the book, it's real easy to sort of imagine that
you were there, even though it was nearly 30 years in the past!
I've got to say that the response to my stage show has been
pretty impressive... wow!
I've already got people who are coming in from out of the state to see it. Thanks everyone! It's the faith and support of the community that really keeps me
going. No matter how much work I've got on the table, and no matter what obstacles appear in my path, with so much backing from everyone, I know I'll always make
it through!
On October 1, as my way of saying thanks, I'll have a very special announcement, that I'm sure you all will enjoy a great deal.
In the meantime, everyone who is interested in my show, keep the e-mails coming. We will be accepting plane ticket stubs and gas station receipts from out of state
(both must be dated no older than 48 hours before the show) as payment for tickets to get in (to my first two shows). That's my way of saying thanks to everyone
who is coming from far and wide. I think it's going to be a veritable who's who of the hypnosis fetish world!
Also, I'll be having one of my fabulous private parties the Friday night before the show. If we've met before, just rsvp via e-mail if you want to come, and I'll
give you details. If I don't know you, contact me via e-mail or aim, as there's still a good week and a half left to get to know you! :-)
Also, I'll be finalizing the details for the venues within the next day or two. I'm just waiting on some final confirmations.
I'm very excited and pleased to announce that after nearly half a decade in the making, that I'm going to be kicking off my Live Show: The Hypnotist Pornographer
presents: The Balance Between Good and Evil, Hypnosis Of Your Soul.
I've put a lot of work in to this, and I must admit that it's been keeping me busy. However, I really wanted to have this ready to go in time for October. While
I'm not quite ready to go for October 1st, I am currently scheduling for the last three weeks of October 2004. Click Here for currently scheduled dates, locations and show times - or for information on how to get a show
time scheduled near you!
The tour is going to be starting in Phoenix October 9 and 10. I have two places in mind, both in the Scottsdale area, and am just waiting on final confirmation.
After that, I haven't decided what direction I'm going to head in. I could either head to California and go up the coast on my way to Washington, or I could head
across the south west, over to the east coast, and then up the east coast to New England. Right now the schedule is completely open, so it's very flexible. The
only fixed point is that I plan on being in Atlanta on October 23, to be in the audience and support my friend David's stage show on that night.
So, if you're throwing a party, and there's going to be at least 25 people there, consider booking me. If you run a bar or a lounge, or are tight with someone who
does, then let me know. If you belong to some other organization that would be compatible with my style, now's your chance.
Even if you don't have a place, but definitely want to see my show, e-mail me so that I can gauge local interest. As I plan out my trip, this information is what
I'm going to be relying upon to make my decisions. Right now, I know that there's a lot of interest in New York, Washington State, Texas and California. Having
said that, all those are pretty big places.
...and yes, you can expect pictures and video clips! :-)
A lot of you have been curious why I've been a little bit behind lately... Here's the bullet points:
I've had a video pirate down in Columbia to deal with. I know his name, his location, and where to get his finanical paper trail. Since I have enough damning
information to go after him, I've given him his one and only offer to stop, go away and never return. Otherwise, I'm going to have to take legal action, and since
he's in another country, it's going to be expensive, which means I'm going to have to really screw him hard, so that I can afford to go after him. Unfortuantely I
can't ignore him, otherwise others will think it's okay to sell my work as well. It's been one big giant unprofitable pain in the ass, however I'm very grateful to
all the members of the community who have been supportive to me in this matter.
Right now, I'm the only person on my staff. I was at a high point of 2 fulltime paid employees this summer, plus a part time unpaid volunteer. Due to a number of
reasons, I had to lay off one employee and ask for a resignation from the other. It also seems that the volunteer will be moving away soon as well. So while it's
just me, minding the shop, and doing the job that 3 and a half people were busy doing, some things might get a little behind. I ask you all to bear with me, as I'm
giving it my best. I've been around for nearly half a decade, and I've always been good about treating my subscribers fairly. There might be some hiccups here and
there, but the volume of material that I'm producing is still pretty amazing when you look at it over the years. I'm working really hard, and I'm asking for your
patience and your support.
I've been gearing up my social life a great deal, throwing and going to parties to keep the flow of attractive and enthusiastic women coming through my websites and
my other projects. For some time now, I've left the bulk of my recruitment to my staff, while I focused on the business and production aspects, now I find myself
wearing that hat as well, and being out and about and presentable takes a lot out of someone, but at the same time you can't let it show, because you have to
radiate energy as opposed to radiate exhaustion... who wants to be around someone who is worn out? Ultimately, this is a good thing though, because I can
exerercise a much greater degree of controll over who our models are, and since all of you out there are very vocal about what you want to see, that works out
rather well.
Right now I have a limited amount of computers (1) available to me for editing, processing, and running my business. Since everything can't be done all at the same
time, but needs to be done at once, there's been some bottlenecking.
Finally, the last of the really big things, is that I came a car ride away from getting married to my girlfriend of the past 3-4 years. Ultimately we decided that
the drawbacks to both of our lives outweighed the bennefits at thisi time. Since we're an international couple who has decided not to get married, that has some
very real effects on our lives, so I've been having to deal with a lot of things related to that. The bad news is that there's going to be some more things that
I'm going to have to deal with in that regards over the short term... but the good news is that once that's all taken care of, I'm going to have a lot more time and
energy to devote to my work, while my girlfriend devotes some time and energy to her work back home.
So that's it in a nutshell. Obviously as a small business owner, there's a million and one little things that I have to deal with every day... call it death of a
thousand paper cuts... Normally I try to avoid the nitty gritty details, especially unrelated aspects of my personal life... I mean, lets face it, you guys are
interested in what I'm doing that's hypnosis related. However, a lot of people have been asking what's been going on, so I felt that I owed you all some
explanation. There's a few other things that have also been making demands on my time, but the smaller things aren't worth mentioning, and the larger things are
really cool and will need their own post! :-)
I've got the first 8 clips of the Kat set entered in to the system for HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com...
I continued adding clips the day after the last set ended. As soon as I can get the rest of it edited and processed, I'll place them in to the system.
Unfortunately, I only have one Mac to edit and process on. Quicktime files are fast to make, but windows media format takes forever... However, have no fear, the
footage is filmed and the editing is under way!
I'm uploading an update to my websites right now. They'll be in the system late tonight/early tomorrow morning.
I'll have responses to a few of the messages later tonight that I haven't answered yet, as well as an update on what's going on in my neck of the woods. It's been
wild and fun and awesome, and I'm sure you'll all enjoy hearing all about it!
I saw that in #668 you mentioned the EMCSA. Cooool... I'm a published author there, and if you ever get a
chance to read some of my stories, I'd be honored to get your opinions of the way I integrate hypnosis into the stories.
Mine are found at:
http://www.mcstories.com/Authors/br0adband.html
"When Opportunity Knocks" was my first one published; it's very personal and special to me.
And again, thanks for keeping up the great work at HypnosisFetish.com. It's always a blast to watch the videos.
I've posted this article regarding the variety of
comments that people sometimes make when they find out you are a hypnotist, and how one can choose to respond to them.
Also, I wanted to point out this entry in Brian's blog. I thought it was very
well written, and enjoyed reading it a great deal. As a side note Brian's blog, named Life of Brian
contains a lot of well written and thought provoking entrys, and I always enjoy my visits to his website.
Finally, you may have noticed that I didn't sign this message as Exile, as I have previously done in the past. There's also a different e-mail address. I've
decided to shut down my Exile address ( exile@gothnexus.com ), and have high hopes that I'll also be able to eventually shut down my other "gothy" e-mail address
Severed.Dreams ( severed.dreams@gothnexus.com ). To be perfectly honest, I don't really feel all that incredibly in touch with my gothic teenage roots (although I
still prefer to dress in black from head to toe) and have wanted to do something different with my e-mail address for quite some time now...
Ah, the price of fame...
Here are some comments that I returned home to find waiting for me in my Y!messenger window. A short dialog then followed. I share them with you now, and hope you
find them as amusing as I did. According to her profile, she's a 100 year old woman from Las Vegas... Please keep in mind as you read it that her comments were in
an 30 point blue font...

She does bring up a good point, however. I do sincerely apologize to anyone who believes that I give "hypnosi" a bad name. Ah, I feel better already...

That's a really good idea. I know that I have plans to release DVDs of most of my work, and that I can do a commentary track with very little difficultry (I did
one just recently for my HaXXXor project). I'm not really sure when that is going to happen, because a lot of my older footage is in long term storage several
thousand miles away from where I am right now...
However, I may go ahead and do something like this for my more recent footage. Perhaps even put it up on my websites if there's enough interest.

In message number 663 you said: Hello, since I haven't seen anyone ask you yet, "How was your trip to DragonCon?" My one and only con experience came about 5 years ago there. It was only one
day, in which I spent most of my time in line buying my ticket. That, coupled with the sight of a 300 lb. guy dressed as Sailor Moon outfit being permantly burned
into my retina, has assured I won't be going back. Hopefully you had a more enjoyable time.
My trip to DragonCon was a whole lot of fun, thank you for asking. The weather was a great change from the 110 degree Phoenix weather, as the huricane made Atlanta
a nice pleasant overcast 80 degrees (my ideal weather). I had the oppourunity to spend some time with my friend, the Atlanta based hypnotist iDavid (famous from
the video clips that he did at Hooters that he put in some of the Y!groups).
I met up with 2 of the 3 girls that I hypnotized earlier this year at Fantasm (and in fact did a session with the girl who was in the cat makeup, sans makeup this
time, which will be going on my websites within a few days).
Yes, the cosplay was great this year. While I didn't run in to any 300 pound Sailor Moons (now that must have been a sight!), I did run in to a lot of Star Wars,
Star trek, Trigun, Hellsing, Harry Potter, Cobra, Super Mario Brothers, The Seven Deadly Sins, Red Dwarf, and a whole lot more, too much to remember and list.
I also got to meet a guy who directed two seasons of one of my favorite television shows, Earth: Final Conflict. Additionally I met a few members of the cast of
Babylon 5, which I was not expecting, so it toally made my day. I met a few other actors, and it was really cool.
There was plenty of hypnosis to be had that weekend, although I must admit that I spent the bulk of it jet lagged, and never quite recovered until about a week and
a half back in Phoenix.
There was a lot of other stuff that made the trip a good time, but this post is already threatening to turn in to a novel, so I'll leave it at that. Suffice it to
say, I always have a blast when I'm in Atlanta, although next time I'll have to plan some time in advance so that we can have a meeting of all the Atlanta
hypnotists out there. I've been a part of their Y!group for a while, and have met several of them between my three trips to Atlanta, and have been impressed by
what a cool bunch of guys and gals they are. (No, this post was not paid for by the Atlanta Board of Tourism, but it should have been! *g*)
You also said: Also I wanted to see if you could give me so hypno-info, I'm about to head out on my vacation and I was wondering if you know of or recomend any hypnotist shows
in Hollywood around Oct 7-11 & 14 and/or any in Las Vegas around 0ct 12-13. Never seen a live show and my best bet is if I'm ever going to It'll be in either of
those cities.
I really couldn't recommend anyone in either area... if any Hollywood or Las Vegas hypnotists want to bribe me with tickets, I'll be more than willing to plug your
show. However, you shouldn't have any problems finding a show in Las Vegas. Let us know who you see, and tell us what you thought!

I'll see what I can do. It's tough for me to sit down and say one way or the other. At the same time, I want to be careful about crossing the line in to shameless
self promotion...
For example, the Flirticia session was very controversial, because she is an older woman. However, I found it to be particularly interesting, because at the time,
she was the oldest woman that I had ever hypnotized before. As most people are quick to point out, I'm still a bit on the young side (it's always amusing to see
people approach that subject, because they are cautiously polite about bringing it up, but really there's nothing to worry about, as I'm quite aware of the fact
that I'm 26 *g*), so to hypnotize a woman who was roughly the same age as my own mother was sort of a personal milestone in my development as a hypnotist. Based
upon that experience, I was able to learn and grow to the point where I've gone on to socially hypnotize other women of that age, and I absolutely love it, the
power dynamic is very different as opposed to hypnotizing an 18 year old woman.
The Goth and Punk set was interesting to me, because unless I'm forgetting something, it was the second time that I worked with multiple subjects at the same time
(Melenia and Allison Twosome being the first). It was during this session that I learned how challenging it can be to keep up with two subjects at different levels
of trance depth and responsivenesss. There's lots of logicistical factors at work, such as the physics of two grown women going limp and loose in to your arms at
the same time. Typically in stage hypnosis, which is where you will usually find the bulk of your multiperson hypnosis occuring, the style tends to be less
individualistic. However, with my style I still focus on the individual a great deal, even when there is more than one. It can be very challenging to do it this
way, however it can also be very rewarding as well.
Vicky will always be special to me, because she was my very first subject for the still images that I started Hypnotized Fetish-Sluts with (a name that I rarely
bring up, because I'm sort of uncomfortable with it...)
Wendy and Clover are also special to me, as they were both part of that early period of my carreer, where I was still just getting started, and just getting used to
doing hypnosis in front of other people and being open about it. Clover more so, because she was the first incredibly super responsive subject that I explored all
the silly stuff with that I ever worked with. Sure, I had done friends and girlfriends for years prior to that, but I could point to the Clover sessions and say,
yeah, that's where I really started to expand my horizons... But at the same time, that's probably what I'm saying about all my sets, which makes it kind of a
bitch for me to point to one and say, yeah, that's my favorite....
Staci was interesting, because that was the first time that I used hypnosis to create feelings of love and affection spontaneously. I learned a lot from that
experience.
Melenia was special, because she was the first of the french women that I hypnotized for the site. Although I still cringe when I think of when I tried to wrap
plot around the session in "Melenia's Kitchen."
Kim was really cool, because she was the reason why I went in to video. We had one of those X-10 cameras, and I left it running during the shoot just for kicks,
and afterwards when I realized the potential, I would never be satisfied with stills again. Her session was also in the group of original formative sessions for
me.
Jessica was different, because that's where I sort of took my subjects out of the chair. Prior to that, I had always been across the room, and out of the shot for
the most part. However, she simply wasn't responding to that style, so we stopped the cameras, and her and I and my crew talked things over, and I decided to go
with what I call "the more aggressive" approach. At the time I was a little nervous about it, but it turned out to be an important step in my growth and evolution
as a hypnotist.
Kathy was special, because she was the beginning of what I would call the thrid phase of my operations. The first was my original beginning with my friend Dave,
the second was working in Montreal with the french and the Canadians, the thrid was workign with my friend Brandon, and now we're starting up the fourth, which I
suspect will reunite elements of the first three, as well as new elements for the future. Kathy had some great moments, and the billy goat suggestion is one of the
first that I bring up when someone asks for a strange story.
Christina and Lara were two of my first "difficult subjects." Lara was challenging, because she was the first model that I ever had show up that I sincerely
believe had no intention of being hypnotized. Christina, on the other hand, was willing to go with it, but there were a number of weird little catches in the
environment, and my experimental use of a bell, and a few other factors (we had met socially before and did the flirting thing in another environment, and were both
surprised to run in to each other for the session) that made the whole thing challenging.
Amy was great. Her session was an experiment in separating the "G" rated hypnosis from the adult stuff.
Allison was adorable, and I really loved working with her. It was always very surprising to me to see her normal personality and responses versus her hypnotized
personality and responses. She was just always a very dynamic and fun hottie, and very sexy.
Betty was also great to work with. She was very sexy and very responsive to hypnosis. The way that we ended up working with her was funny, because she was doing
it sort of as a "revenge" shoot to show off her independence from her ex-boyfriend. However, it quickly turned in to something much more incredible. The
personality play, and the use of suggestion to modify her belief systems were sort of a logical extension of the clover/wendy librarian cheerleader stuff. In
retrospect, I suspect that the main reason why I don't like to do the librarian cheerleader stuff any more is probably because of the magnitude of what I saw in
personality play with the playing doctor with Nurse Betty sequence.
Playing Doctor with Sarah was fun enough, but ultimately it felt like it had too much "bad porn plot" wrapped around it. Still, she was completely in to it, and
some of her comments still make me and my Canadian friends crack up.
Stacy was the first model for my website that I've worked with that I had a prior hypno-erotic relationship with. On account of this, we felt more comfortable
getting more intimate than I usually do in my sessions for my websites.
Gothic Heather was very sexy, and I always enjoyed exploring the BDSM power dynamic aspects of working with her.
Beth is absolutely adorable, and I always enjoyed working with her, because she's normally such a punk rock girl, but when hypnotized she's just sweet and adorable.
The Beth and Debbie Twosome deserves special note, because that was just a wild good time, definitely one of my favorites.
Kate was interesting, because we were trying some different camera work and placement with her.
Kathy and Carla had a dynamic between them that was enjoyable.
Tina was fun, she was very responsive.
Trish had potential, but we had to cut the session short on account of some personal problems that we became aware of mid session. The short version is that she
was having some problems with her home life, and it was creating trust issues. Since there's never been a shoot that I wanted to do badly enough to disregard
another human beings feelings, we cut it short.
Carrie was amusing in the way that she was trying to be resistant, but was doing it in such an unsophisticated manner, that it was easy to reverse her resistance in
to a mechanism that I used to aid the hypnosis. Plus she had really big breasts. :-)
Lilly was fun, because she was both highly suggestible, but we also got to have some fun with Ghengis Kahn, you need fuel.
Maryanne was cool, because of the complete randomness surrounding the circumstances of her appearance in our studio.
Fantasm was a great time, because it had a cool energy to it, and also was an opportunity for me to work with a new friend.
Lacey was interesting because there was a lot to work with mentally initially, but once I figured her out, she was quite responsive.
Jackie was very suggestible, although she was really nervous at first.
Suzy was great because I got to do some hypnosis stuff with her that I hadn't done before, such as eating an onion and believing it was an orange. Plus having her
dump the glass of water all over herself repeatedly was just fun.
So that's the nickle and dime tour regarding how I feel about all the sessions.... I'm not exactly sure if that's what you're looking for. I'd love to go in to
even further detail, but this post took quite a while to write! (As you can see, the earlier stuff got entire paragraphs, and by the end, it was just a line here
and there)
In message number 652 you expressed your anxiousness to see HypnoSlave go online. Believe me, I hear you... and you wouldn't believe what I have in store for the
site. All I can say is that there isn't a full launch date that I can disclose at this time, however, a component is scheduled to go online very soon now to help
ease the wait :-)
Also, thank you for being sensitive to my workload :-)
I removed your profile from the Member Profiles section.
If anyone else wants the same, just let me know.
Sooner or later, I plan on implementing a much cooler system for member profiles. I'll try to have some form of privacy protection built in to it as well, but at
the same time it's sort of a contradiction, because by posting a profile you sort of want people to know about you. I'll have to give it some thought... anyone
else's ideas on the matter are welcome as well, of course.
One of the cool thing about the new profile system is that there will be a flag for whether your a hypnotist or a subject (or both), as well as what type of
hypnosis you are in to (email, chat, person, phone, etc) and what you're looking for.
Thanks for the link! That's some very interesting reading. I suspect as science provides us with better tools, we may finally start to get some good scientific
data on hypnosis going. I wonder how that will change things...
Lately I've been leaving my Y!messenger program up and running. As a result I've been receiving a lot of IMs
from random people through the Y!groups. So I created this page and added it to my Yahoo profile. Basically
it's a sort of FAQ for IMing me. It answers the four most common questions that I receive, as well as serves as a primer on what types of messages I prefer to get,
and how to get a satisfying response out of me, as opposed to monosyllable. (Yeah, I know, after all the novels that I write here on HypnoFocus, it must be hard to
imagine me even being capable of being monosyllable, but it is true). Most of what on that page is probably common knowledge for anyone here at HypnoFocus, but I'm
pointing out the link anyways, if for no other reason than the fact that it has my Y!messenger and AIM id's, in case anyone has the desire to send me an IM.
I have found an interesting article about hypnosis in scientific magazine Nature, called "Brain scans show
hypnosis at work". If anyone is interested, the URL is http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040906/full/040906-18.html
The folks over in the txhypnosis Y!Group are starting to get serious about having an hypnosis event in Texas
(so far it's looking like Houston). Anyway, if you're interested in getting in on the conversation, check out their Y!group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/txhypnosis/
Exile, I know you are an extremely busy man. One only has to scan through this forum to see that you should be
three people. That being said, allow me to whine just a little, so that I might feel just a smidgeon better. :) You have been teasing me severely. I have been
waiting patiently (well, maybe I lied just a little) for you to complete the HypnoSlave site. I only allow myself to check three times a week to see if it is live
yet. Could you, out of the kindness of your heart, possibly mention an estimated go live date? You see, I have some money to spend, and it is burning a hole in my
pocket. Not to mention the fact that I am simply slavering in anticipation of what you have planned for this site.
Not a problem, I'll take care of it as soon as possible. I'm travelling right now, so it may take up to a
week. I don't mind the request at all, and besides, I never finished the membership profile system rewrite, so it's not really fulfilling it's intended purpose
right now anyway. It's sort of a throwback from the old software that I started with years ago (The PHP Nuke Software).
exile, can you please remove my screen name from your member profiles list? it tracks on google and i dont want
myself tracked to your website. no offense intended, but i am concerned of privacy.
Well thanks for the plugz... I started going through some past video and thought I'd relist some of the better
ones on ebay.. I'm busy with a new web site and I'm looking for content. I could probably hook you up with some video, if you'd be willing to trade a hot subject or
two for my hypno harem.
I'll be at Dragoncon in Atlanta next weekend wandering around with my video camera looking for anime chicks to hypno... maybe you should come down and join me.
Nikki the cat girl said she'd love to do a session with you, and no telling who else we'll run into Soni and Chastity will be there
. I'll be wrangling celebrities this year and I might be looking to get some sci-fi "B" movie girls on video.... will that get you out of the Batcave Aaron?
For those of you who aren't familiar with my friend's work, I met him at the Fantasm Conference. We
immediately hit it off, and I can't speak highly enough about this guy. He's very active in the online erotic hypnosis community, and was one of the people I was
hoping to meet at the above mentioned convention.
Anyways, the auction links above are to two shows that he did. One was at Hooters, and sooner or later I'm going to have to bribe him to hook me up with a copy
(Hint Hint David! hehe). The second one might be of interest, because it was at Fantasm 2003, and includes a girl that I would later hypnotize for
HypnoGames/HypnosisFetish.
Anyways, you should definitely look in to this guy's work, he's the real thing!
I was wondering if you would share with us which of your sessions have been your favorites, and which ones you think have either a) the best hypnosis, or b) the
best erotic content.
You have a lot of stuff, and I'd like to pick and choose what to watch based on some information! :)
Actually, to that end, I'd love to hear what other people think as well, based on what they've seen of the work on hypnosisfetish and hypnogames.

Aaron, it's a cool thing that you own your position as a professional pornographer. On the other hand, if a significant percentage of your income came from therapy
or G-rated stage shows, pride in your pornographic work might take a back seat to the possibility of losing that income.
I could go on at great lengths about this. Those who know me in person can probably see it now. However, I'm not going to.
You're all adults. In your lives you'll need to make decisions about what you think is appropriate behavior and what is not appropriate behavior for yourselves and
for other people. You'll need to make decisions on the trade off's between privacy and the public's right to know. You'll need to give some hard thought to the
tough questions about where limits have to be established (if you believe they do) and where lines have to be drawn (if at all).
Those of us who respect the wishes of individuals (whether stated or implied) to not have their names or
likenesses associated directly and publicly with some of their work, do so out of respect for those individuals, not because of rules, regulations or censorship.
Nobody who has been around this community for any length of time and is reasonably skilled on Internet search engines is unaware of who the major "players" are.
Nor should we be unaware of who among them advertises their erotic material with their names and/or likenesses, and who does not. Aaron, it's a cool thing that you
own your position as a professional pornographer. On the other hand, if a significant percentage of your income came from therapy or G-rated stage shows, pride in
your pornographic work might take a back seat to the possibility of losing that income.
Still, I think you are correct in your general refusal to censor your board.
2c,
J.
Well, here's the deal. I think the whole name situation is really silly. Want to know my name? You can find
it here. Congratulations, now you know my name, my age (at the time of the interview) and where I was
living at the time of the interview. Not to mention a whole lot more about me. I use PK instead of the guy's full name basically out of habbit. I think when I
originally created HypnoFocus (back when it was running PHPNuke), I had mentioned his name and either him, or someone from one of the video companies had written me
and asked me not to. I saw no reason not to reject their request, personally I don't care. Fair enough.
Granted, that's kind of a silly way of going about doing things. First, if someone wants to see your work, they're going to need to type something in to a search
engine. Granted, they can just type in the company that produces the video. Whatever. Second, if you want to stay anonymous, then don't appear in, what is it, 50
videos now? Sure you can blur the pictures or whatever, but as Brian had mentioned it, the geanie is out of the bottle. Between you and me and the lamp post, and
the thousands of visitors to this website, I think it's pretty silly and possibly the result of self hypnosis to come to think otherwise... but then again, we're
all entitled to our quirks.
I believe that when you enter the adult industry, and when you participate in the adult industry, you need to have a pretty good sense of ethics and morals. If
you're ever in a situation that violates your ethics and morals, you shouldn't do it. Then you should stand by what you do and be proud of it. However, that's my
personal belief, and the beliefs of others are their own concern.
Having said the above, I'm not going to make a special rule regarding the mention of this hypnotist by name or initials or implication. If a post makes it through
moderation, it makes it through. If I have a problem with a post, I won't moderate it through. If anyone doesn't like that, then tough.
Because of the way that I wrote the system, I had to fudge with the system a bit. The end result being that all the new line information was lost.
Why? It's simple. I don't have editing functionality built in to the software. There's only one way that I deal with inappropriate posts... deletion. I'm not in
the business of being a censor.
So here's the deal. I've done this one time (basically there's no way that I can go back in time and un do it). However, I'm never going to do this again. If a
post doesn't break any of my rules, and someone else doesn't happen to like what it says, then tough... Once something makes it through moderation, it's here to
stay, unless at a future date I determine that it needs to be deleted.
As prime minister, first citizen, premiere, and president of HypnoFocus.com, so it is declared.
Exile . . . whose name I've used a hundred times on this board . . . go ahead and edit the post and take ****
******'s name down. The reference was actually one of respect and admiration . . . however, that's not the only post I have used his name, I believe at least once
or twice previously here I have posted his name as well. Sorry, I don't know the old post numbers. I've also seen him referred to specifically by name a number of
times on other groups, including some of the ones you've been on of late where the big multigirl shoots have been discussed (btw, four is still just too small, you
need to go with fifteen then we'll be impressed). :-) Whenever I have used his name it was with respect and admiration. He does some nice videos. I do want to
point out though that while some groups or webpages do not use his name, there are plenty of them that do . . . so it's not a long stretch to figure it out.
Actually, a number of the websites for model agencies he's worked with to get girls specifically reference him in their site news as do many of the webpages for the
girls themselves. So a google search for his name will turn these references up eventually. If he really wants to cover his tracks, he might want to change the
name of his company that contracts with models for hypnofetish work as it currently includes his name **** ***** Productions. :-) If he does contact you, a lets
you know that he'd rather not have his name out there, fine. However, if this is the case, then he needs to be a bit more aggressive about politely letting folks
in the community know this.
I wasn't aware that Voldemort or Sauron were practicing hypnotists... although sauron does have that whole "eye" thing going on... and that could be a handy skill
for evil sorcerers.
I think it's wonderful that you are courtious enough to not display ****'s name. I have often thought of working on a more "adult" project, and not wished to taint
my professional stage name. If you continue to respect other hypnotists wishes, you just may be encouraging your own competition...
I'm leaving Phoenix to go camping for the weekend for a much needed break and some R&R. The new set, Jackie,
will start on Monday, with a couple clips posted to get the set going and to make up for the last few days. Now that I'm back in the office, and not working on any
other projects than HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com you can expect daily updates. Also, I'm going to be working kind of hard to arrange a location to do a
multi girl shoot (more then two, hopefully no less than four, and as many as possible). There have been a lot of talk about wanting to see such a thing on the
Yahoo boards lately, so I'm going to see what I can do.
Also, someone commented on a recent post that made use of the name of a certain hypnotist that works for some other websitess. As it's not my policy to edit other
people's words after I moderate a message through (or before for that matter), I've requested the person who made the comment, to contact the person who made the
post. That person is a respected member of the community and a reasonable guy, so I'm assuming that he'll contact me and ask to make a slight change to his
original post. At which point I'll cheerfully fulfill their mutual request.
I'll also add, for bookkeeping, that the person who made the comment was polite and respectful and not at all out of line. That's a good thing, because I don't
respond at all to bullying. I have way too many friends in the Netherlands who are more than happy to host for me, and I know way too many lawyers (I regularly
play PS2 with one) to be overly concerned with groundless legal threats.
I've also suggested that the individual who doesn't like to have his name referenced contact me and ask me to do him the favor of not allowing people to post his
name. If he does this, then I'll be more than happy to add it to the rules (right now we have three: Rules: No Spam! No Flames / Piss! Be respectful of HypnoFocus
and each other!). Regardless, I'm out of the office until Monday, so nothing's going to be done (including new message moderations) until then. Feel free to give
me a backlog of messages on Monday morning to moderate, as I enjoy doing so! :-)
Then heck, if he feels like sticking around, I wouldn't mind doing a hypnofocus interview with him. If you go to my articles page and read interviews that I've done of other people, and interviews that I've given to other people, you'll
find that I'm a very laid back and easy going type, when it comes to that sort of thing. :-)
mystikmc Message #610 - 01:14 August 02, 2004 . . . "Also, I'm just curious -- What are people's opinion of
hypnogirls? Real? Fake? Some combination?"Exile Message #613 - 09:34 August 03, 2004 . . . "As far as anyone else goes, I would default to fake. Right now, to the
best of my knowlege, the only real erotic hypnosis stuff on the net is the stuff that I do, and the stuff that P.K. does (HypnoVideo and Entrancement Videos)."For
most material, Aaron is right on that the default assumption of fake is safest. There is a lot of fake stuff out there. Tons of the stuff. Aaron's stuff is real
hypnosis. PK's stuff is real hypnosis (hypnovideo and entrancement) and as so many of his subjects are incredibly beautiful, well worth the looksee (snoop around
the web with the right search engine and you will find some of the talent agencies that have had their girls work with him and they give him kudos). There are a few
others but their stuff tends to be less consistently good . . . in terms of production value and in therms of hypnosis. Personally, I really get tired of seeing
folks doing the same bits over and over with different girls . . . I won't mention names here.A while back on this board, I mentioned that I believed hypnogirls was
fake . . . this opinion was based upon the rather over-the-top advertising. However, I've seen a number of their sets now . . . there are forty girls currently on
their site with each girl's session about two to three hours or so total. I now believe them to be a legitimate hypnosis site with the real deal. I haven't seen
enough of the sets to fully reccommend them yet but my initial impressions good.- Brian, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
HypnosisFetish and HypnoGames
have both been updated to take the Suzy session all the way through to it's completion. Our next
subject, Jackie, will go online within a few days.
Hi,My name is Cameron, and I am the Administrative Assistant for Fantasy Photographs LLC. I have known Aaron
for the better part of a decade, but only recently (within the past few years) did I get to see this aspect of his professional and private life.During that time
frame, I have seen many of his inductions and hypnosis sessions, either on video or in person. I have never had a deep desire to do hypnosis, but he did spark an
interest that has been simmering for sometime now. However, tonight I actually succeeded perdorming my first hypnotic induction, post-hypnotic command, and
wrap-up.I was on a date with a charming young lady and two other couples. We ended up back at one of the participants apartment. Everyone was looking for a bit of
solitude and one-on-one time, so my date (I'll call her Sarah in this post) and I found ourselves with the living room to just the two of us. We chatted for awhile,
then I brooched the subject of trying a hypnotic session with her.To my surprise Sarah was very enthusiastic about the idea. She let me use one of her pendants as a
focus. I talked her through the induction with a combination of visualisations (stairs), breathing exercises, and body contact. Within about ten minutes I had
completed the induction.I then placed a post-hypnotic sleep command. I then brought her out of the trance, and we discussed how we felt about the experience so far.
After that I activated the sleep command, and gave her a post-hypnotic suggestion that whenever I said the word "horny" and touched her shoulder, she would have the
sudden irristible urge to kiss me.Sarah and I played around with that for another 10 to 15 minutes. Then I put her back under, removed both post-hypnotic
sugestions, and brought her out of the trance state. I explain all of the details to her, we laughed, and talked more about the experience and what we looked
forward to trying next time.I have to say it was a very pleasant and enlightening experience that hope to have again in the near future. I went with the type
induction that I used because it was the one that I was the most familiar with, having seen Aaron use it several times. It was also very rewarding to actually
accomplish something like that after having seen it done so many times before.Regards,Cam
Good news, I have the remainder of the Suzy session edited, now the files are rendering. The whole thing
should be done in about a day (it takes a while). There should be a batch uploaded this evening.
I know I've been quiet for the past two weeks or so. July was a super busy month for me. I went to two computer hacker conventions promoting my other project. I also finished my second DVD for that project.
Things were kind of rough at the second conference, but ultimately we did okay, and got to meet a lot of our
fans and supporters. Things were initially rough at the first conference, but ended up working out really well. So well in fact, that I ended up making some new
friends, one of which thought very highly of my
work.
So where does that bring us? Well, I've written several messages to HypnoFocus, have been trying to get a reply out to everyone who has sent me an e-mail, and I'm
trying to get the video sites updated. We've still got another hour of material from the session that's playing now, and there's another session in the queue
that's already filmed and just needs to be edited for after that.
Then I'll be working really hard to get the DVDs for all my sets finished, and a merchant account processor so that I can sell them over the internet without asking
for anything mailed in or any id. Unfortunately to do that is going to take 2,000 dollars, money that I don't have. So if anyone is interested in making a loan to
my company, please e-mail me.
I'll then do another batch of sessions, to keep things going through September, October, November and December.
Also there's been a lot of interest recently from Girlfriends/Wives of members, and female members themselves in getting hypnotized and participating in the
Website, so that will give me the opportunity to do some travelling, which means more community building, more visiting with our viewers, and I'm hoping to do one
or two or maybe even three seminars before the end of the year. Ideally it would be California, Texas, Atlanta. Anyone who has any ideas or suggestions in regards
to that matter, please e-mail me.
Also, while I've been somewhat delayed, there's been a huge interest in the HypnoSlave site concept, so I'm hoping to get that in motion as well. The first half of
the year is my season to split my time between the hypnosis stuff and my haXXXor stuff, the second half of the year is all about the Hypno... So you can expect
some pretty cool things in the days to come.
As always, I appreciate everyone's support and patience. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I wear a lot of hats for the organization, and sometimes I get burried
under a lot of work.
A few months ago while working on my other project ( HaXXXor ) I met a writer named Annalee Newitz. We exchanged a few e-mails,
and the end result was her writing this article about me and my work. (On a side note, an attorney friend of mine
that I've been playing video games with since high school tracked me down a copy of the game Rez and the vibrator controllers too...)
Anyways, I thought the name sounded vaguely familiar, and I'm sure that many of you out there might too. The reason why is that several years ago she wrote this article, that is one of the original articles about our interest. I've read it
many times, and have linked to it from HypnoFocus since the day I created it.
Of course, suffering from a lack of context, I initially failed to notice this. However, when I wrote her thanking for the kind article, I mentioned that I also do
the erotic hypnotism thing, and then she mentioned her article, and the light bulbs went off in my head, and I was thrilled at the discovery.
I hadn't been that surprised since I met the Hypnotist from the Hour Article (that doesn't appear to be on the internet any more) in a Fetish Night Club in Montreal
a few years back.
In message 603 you said: "making subtitles files for the videos is not a hard work."
Well, yes and no. It's hard work if you don't have the translation resources on your staff. Additionally, it's also hard work in the sense that it adds yet more
complexity, effort and delay to an already overworked hypnotist pornographer. Remember, I'm the CEO, programmer, PR Guy, Marketer, R&D Department, Editor, Video
Tech, Hypnotist, Accountant... etc... of my company. I have a photographer who does the still images and helps with the casting, and then I have an administrative
assistant who works part time because we don't have the budget or facilities to accomodate him full time. Even now I find it difficult to keep up with the work
load.
You then said "You just need to make text files. There is free software that play a movie with subtitles if you put a text file in the same directory when you place
the movie file."
Actually, it's more complicated than that. We support two formats of movie files, across a wide range of computer operating system platforms. Any third party
program is not guranteed to work with all players and operating systems that I design our materials for. I would have to integrate the subtitles directly in to the
media format that I'm working with. At this time I don't know if I can do some sort of software definable subtitle track in Windows Media and Quicktime. further,
I don't know if I can do it with the tools that I use. Ultimately, I would need to overlay it on the video it's self through final cut. That means it would be
able to be turned off. This would be fine for a language specific site, but it wouldn't be fine for an English site.
DVD format, on the other hand, is perfect for this sort of thing. And that's what I'm exploring now...
Finally you said, "A few volunteers could make the translation. (I could help with the spanish translation)."
Great, I'll keep you in mind. If you'd like to volunteer to do a translation for the Kathy clips, I can include that in the Kathy DVD. Then I'd have an excuse to
go to Spain and Latin America to promote it! :-)
Please keep in mind, that I apprecaite your enthusiasm. Providing my material regardless of international borders is something that I believe in and support
strongly. I'm pretty big in to the international thing, and I support the idea that there's more languages than just English in just the same way that I support
the idea that there's more cultures other than Mainstream American Corporation Hollywood Culture. But I'm also a guy who does a lot of work and get's precious
little rest. :-)
You have every right to back up your position. However, I've read your patent, and I've read your response, and then I re-read your patent, and I'll maintian my
original position on the subject. Personally, I don't think your patent would hold up for two seconds in a court of law. Why? Because, in my opinion, you haven't
invented anything.
In the abstract it says: "The user enters the preferences, employing a keyboard, and/or a mouse, and/or other such device used to enter information." Wow... pretty
innovative... Just like JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER PROGRAM in existance.
Or how about... "A text-to-speech component of the program enables the user to then listen to the custom hypnosis script, and thereby experience a complete,
custom hypnosis." My Apple Macintosh has a text to speech component.
Perhaps you invented... "Through questions presented, the user is queried for the user's preferences for hypnotic induction imagery and behavioral suggestion."
Perhaps not...
By your logic, if I were to ask someone questions, write it down in text edit, and then run the text to speech engine that comes with my comptuer this would be in
violation of your.... invention.
You want to write a program. Great. You want to run a website. That's great too. People find it interesting and enjoyable? Wonderful. You make a few bucks.
Awesome.
However, I belong to the group of people who believe that software is speech, and is thus protected by the Frist Amendment of the constitution. You want to
copyright your source code, your speech, then right on, defend it however you want. However, if you want to use legal intimidation to prevent someone from using
their own speech to describe their own set of steps to solve a problem in a finite amount of time, then that's not fine. As a pornographer, I fight for the defence
of the first ammendment day in and day out.
Oh, and by the way, in regards to your statement "The patent office did a thorough search of other inventions that may have in some way made similar claims," in
post 607, read this link, again if you haven't already. These searches aren't as thorough as you might think.
You then go on in your post to say: "You can't "invent" cake, but you can patent a new recipe for one. I never have claimed to have invented all "hypnosis software"
- just my version of it. If someone else claims to have invented hypnosis software substantially using "claims" in my patent, whether they'd like to think so or
not, that person violates an existing patent and I am compelled to inform that person."
Dude, I so totally call bullshit on this one, that it's not even funny... According to your argument, you claim that the ability to set preferences using a
keyboard or mouse for hypnosis programs is your invention. To follow with your broken cake metaphor... You're saying that everyone is free to patent a new recipie
for cake, just as long as it doesn't make use of a form of heat for causing a change in the state of physical organic matter (i.e. cooking).
You finish with "There's just no way around that. Even if the violating software is free, someone has put a name on it as inventor, thus making a claim. A would-be
inventor does not deserve the high moral ground simply because, for now, they give it away."
Actually, the cool thing about free software is that one does not have to put their name on it, and they can serve it from any country they feel like serving it
from. Patents need to be defended. Do you have the time or money to defend a patent case in the Netherlands? Didn't think so. All it takes is one anonymous
person. Works for you, works for me, works for Hollywood. My stuff gets pirated all the time. Am I going to hunt down and sue every guy that wants to see my
video? No. If someone starts selling it, yeah, I'll sue. In the digital age, all you have is the support of your customers. Act like an asshole, and that
support disappears pretty quickly.
As far as FollowTheWatch55 goes... If he chose to stand up to you, and you chose to fight him, I'd donate 10 bucks and the phone numbers of some lawyers who are
quite motivated in protecting freedom of speach and expression in a digital world. Why? Because I don't agree with your arguments, your methods, or your silly
patent.
I've never had any interest in either his program or yours. However, as a hypnotist who is also in to computers, it's reasonable for me to suspect that sooner or
later you would try to "invent" something else that might infringe upon what I'm doing, and then try to interefere with my rights.
Yes, thanks for bringing the items without thumbnails to my attention. This isn't a sign that we're discontinuing them, I was just extremely pressed for time.
It's better to get the clips online for the websites, than to delay while waiting for a few thumbnails to get made. They'll be up soon, by the way, when I do the
next BIG update for the website.
Welcome to our website. You can find Hypnofocus Post 226 on this page, talking about the group. From what I hear,
it's fairly active. One of these days when I'm in SanFran, I should check it out. Anyways, I hope it helps!
There's not really a good resource for reviews for the various sites and videos.
I gave it a try when I started this website, click here to see. Naturally, as a guy who produces stuff and as a
hypnotist, there's going to be an inherent degree of bias, however, by pointing this fact out and by being aware of it as the reviewer and making the readers aware
of it, I think the bias was minimized. Also, I wrote this FAQ to set the standards and criteria of my
review process.
Unfortunately, like some of the other things outside of my immediate focus, this project moved very slowly. Then when I started spending time between countries, my
free time diminished, and frequently I found that when I did have some, that my tapes were many miles away from me. When I moved back to the United States, I had a
crushing blow when the box that contained all of my hypnosis tapes from other people (Szeles, Entrancement Video, Anton Productions, and a few from HypnoVideo) was
damaged in transit. Basically the only thing that arrived was a label, no box or contents. It pretty much sucked.
I don't really see the other Hypnosis Sites and producers as competition. After doing this for nearly half a decade, you sort of get a sense of perspective. Since
there's so few of us, and since our styles vary so much, there's plenty of space for not just us, but a few more too probably. If any of the other content
producers want some free advertising, and an objective (as possible) review, I'm always open to it, all they need to do is send me a tape, DVD, or data file.
Hypnovideo and Entrancement Videos are both reliable and trusted websites. They make good product, and have been around for years now.
As far as my websites, HypnosisFetish and HypnoGames, some of the most popular sessions have been the early Clover Sessions, the Gothic Heather Sesssions, the Kathy
Session, off the top of my head. As far as my personal favorite session, I think that would have to be Beth and Debbie, for reasons that should be obvious :-).
I'll have to give some thought to a longer post on my personal feelings about and favorite sessions. (I'd do it now, but I've been so busy lately that I'm sitting
down and forcing myself to get everything back to normal - everyone has been patient, but I don't want to push the limits).
As far as anyone else goes, I would default to fake. Right now, to the best of my knowlege, the only real erotic hypnosis stuff on the net is the stuff that I do,
and the stuff that P.K. does (HypnoVideo and Entrancement Videos). There are other people who do some good work, but don't quite get to the erotic aspects per se,
Lord Hypno comes to mind. Also, there's a lot of stage hypnotists out there that do real hypnosis.
I hope this answers some of your questions, and feel free to ask more.
I'm always interested in talking to people who want to be hypnotized. Just send me an e-mail at severed.dreams@gothnexus.com . As far as website that have
recordings and stuff that will hypnotize people, check our links section by clicking here.
Hi, I,m Shelly, I love the kind of hypnosis you do snd was woundering if you can give me some links too sites
that can hypnotize people....me and I may be interested in some modling work on hyponogames,thanks, Shelly
I have some questions for the forum regarding some of the hypnosis videos available on the net.
Is there a good resource for reviews for the various sites/videos? Hypnovideo and entrancement put out a lot of product -- are there specific videos that people
think are better than others?
For hypnosisfetish, what are the sessions that seem to be the most popular? Exile, do you have a list of the girls whose sessions you liked the best?
Also, I'm just curious -- What are people's opinion of hypnogirls? Real? Fake? Some combination?
greetings,
i was doing a google search for feminization hypnosis san francisco and it let me to hypnofocus, on the link it mentioned a local group called sleepwalkers. i live
in san francisco and would be interested in finding out more about this group. any information would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

On the preview page for the Suzi sets at Hypno Fetish, there are descriptions without thumbnail photos. I
actually prefer this to photos without descriptive text (you write them well), but would much rather be able to see both.
FYI,
J.
Since my work and website have been mentioned in the forum, I'd like to voice a few things.
http://www.hypnosoft.com is home to online hypnosis software that results in an hypnosis mp3 delivered via email. It has seriously helped (and entertained)
thousands of people over the years. I was rightly advised to apply for a patent to protect the software. I did so, many years after the software was actually
conceived. The patent office did a thorough search of other inventions that may have in some way made similar claims. Claims are the key to any patent. There may be
many inventions regarding a similar topic or product, each with its own set of claims. You can't "invent" cake, but you can patent a new recipe for one. I never
have claimed to have invented all "hypnosis software" - just my version of it. If someone else claims to have invented hypnosis software substantially using
"claims" in my patent, whether they'd like to think so or not, that person violates an existing patent and I am compelled to inform that person. There's just no way
around that. Even if the violating software is free, someone has put a name on it as inventor, thus making a claim. A would-be inventor does not deserve the high
moral ground simply because, for now, they give it away.
making subtitles files for the videos is not a hard work.
You just need to make text files. There is free software that play a movie with subtitles if you put a text file in the same directory when you place the movie
file.
A few volunteers could make the translation. (I could help with the spanish translation).
Free Radical writes in Message #601 (July 15, 2004): "when are you going to put up videos teaching how to have
girls orgasm from hypnosis?" It seems to me that all of Aaron's videos do that. Rather, they are examples of someone doing just that. Watch the videos, note the
process not just the words, and then follow the example. It's also a good idea to learn hypnosis, real hypnosis with real experience as well so then you can apply
the theory and the ideas to any situation, not just orgasm on command. You may also wish to go here
http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/hypnosis_trance_meditation_and_the_rest/index.html and here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange/ for
much more on the subject (including a whole slew of various approaches to the hypnotic orgasm). - Brian
I'm going to be in Manhattan for a conference this weekend. If anyone is interested in meeting up either as a
group, or privately, just e-mail me privately at severed.dreams@gothnexus.com , and I'll get back to you with my plans.
I see your point. I would prefer subtitles in the downloadable videos rather than in the DVDs, but I understand
it is a very time-consuming work to do so
Anyway, as my native language is Spanish and you said that the DVDs could have Spanish subtitles, I'll give them a look. Can you post a link?
In message #596, you asked: Have you ever thought of making subtitles files for your videos? English isn't my mother tongue and, although I can understand written English pretty well, it's
still difficult for me to get spoken one. Or maybe you could post a transcription or something... What do you think?
Actually, I've put a great deal of thought in to this, and would like to. The only problem is that it would represent a whole lot of work, but it is uncertain
whether or not there would be a financial return to justify the work.
The DVD's that we're doing will probably be the easiest way to go about doing this. Currently I have someone in house who can do French. Also, living in Phoenix
Arizona would make it pretty easy to get Spanish. Additionally I'd like German and Japanese.
The will is there, but the resources aren't really there at this point in time.
Just out of curiosity, what is your native language?
Have you ever thought of making subtitles files for your videos? English isn't my mother tongue and, although I
can understand written English pretty well, it's still difficult for me to get spoken one. Or maybe you could post a transcription or something... What do you
think?
Well, it's Tuesday Morning, and I just finished the shoot, and OMG, man, she was hot. Went in to a trance
really quick, and did some cool stuff. For anyone out there who's a doubter of the power of hypnosis, I handed this one an onion and told her it was an orange. We
did some gags with the famous glass of water, but it's not what you think. ...and she was a Cheerleader in High School and College, and brought her uniform along.
It was cool!
I had made a few brief allusions to a trip to Las Vegas. Now, for anyone who has read HypnoFocus, or the
occasional article written about me, or followed my work know that I'm pretty long winded about talking about things that I do in my personal life, especially when
it has something to do with sex or hypnosis (and as The HypnotistPornographer, I frequently get to combine both).
However, when my experiences involve other people, I become the HypnotistDiplomat, in the interest of not putting my foot in to anyone else's mouth so to speak.
Well, as the case may be, I've more or less got the go ahead to include other people in my narrative about the trip I took up to Las Vegas last weekend so here it
goes.
By the way, if you want to save yourself about 5-10 minutes of reading, the short version goes as so:
The short version goes: hypnosis... food... hypnosis... sleep... hypnosis... food... hypnosis...
drinks... hypnosis... sleep... food... hypnosis... food... hypnosis... water fountains.... sleep.
Having said all that, I'll place my diplomatic credentials back in to the closet, and once more be the Hypnotist Pornographer...
To say that this tale begins a few days ago in Las Vegas, wouldn't quite be 100 percent correct. Actually this tale begins a few months ago in April at the Fantasm
Convention ( Details Here). That's where I met my friend David, a talented hypnotist from the East
Coast, who I had already known by reputation. We all had a good time that weekend, and kept in touch.
As it would come to pass, my friend David would be in Las Vegas for a stage hypnotist seminar. Being as how I only lived a 6 hour drive away from Vegas, in
Phoenix, I would consider it rude not to go up and visit for the weekend. Of course, I'll take any excuse to go up to Las Vegas, so there wasn't a whole lot of arm
twisting involved.
So I joined him for a stage hypnotism show that was open to the public as part of their seminar. Since I was one of the younger people in the room, immediately
attention came to me and the other young people in the room. You see this sort of thing happen a lot in BDSM clubs and power exchange groups (and incidentally
enough you'll frequently find a shortage of younger people in some of these groups if this sort of thing is too extreme, but I digress). The hypnotist wanted to
start of with a magic trick, and I hate magic tricks. However, I was here as a guest, and in all likelihood would be spending the weekend with these people, so I
choked down a growl and played nice. So I politely took a look at a card from the deck of cards, kept my expression bland enough for polite company, and changed my
body language to say really loud and clear, "Way too much effort than it's worth, go somewhere else," It worked, and eventually the show went on and I was left
alone in peace.
That is until it was time for the male and female stripper part of the show. Judging from the beeline that this guy on the stage made for me, and over a few
obsticals, I'm assuming that he recieved a few... extra instructions... So I got this guy who's operating off a post hypnotic suggestion, and he's going to be
violating my personal space. I'm not particularly impressed. However, there's nowhere that I can gracefully escape to physically, and you can't reason with
someone in a trance when it's not your own trance, unless you do some ditry tricks and take control for yourself, but then that would have caused problems, so I put
on the appropriately terrified face, and endured it. Everyone got their laugh, and having been on a Rocky Horror Picture Show cast in an earlier part of my life,
nothing happened that I couldn't brush off.
So eventually the show ends, and aside from a few moments of personal annoyance, I found it to be entertaining. The stage hypnotist had good pacing. The induction
didn't take forever, in fact it was pretty quick. The sketches were amusing. And I even finally figured out one of the ways that a non erotic hypnotist gets
female trance subjects to touch and play with their tits in a non erotic context, something that's been bugging me from seeing some of the hypnotist still images on
the net (If anyone out there has more of these explanations, please send them my way). All in all, nothing particularly bad, and plenty of amusing, a net gain.
So my friend David goes off to speak with a few people, and I'm just sort of chilling, and then I notice out of the corner of my eye, that another person is making
a beeline for me. She wasn't in the show, and presumably wasn't under any posthypnotic suggestions, so no big deal. Then she starts lecturing me on how I shouldn't
get weirded out by people acting out hypnotic suggestion. The lady is a little shy of 50, and I'm a young 26, and my reputation had not preceeded me, so I could
understand where she was coming from, so I just sort of smile and nod, because I had to admit, having the guy who has had his sports coat chomped into by a lady
under hypnosis who believed that she was a billy goat endure a lecture from a complete stranger about people doing strange things under hypnosis did amuse me. But
here's the thing, no matter how many opportunities that I give her to let it be and to "win" or whatever, she's not dropping it. So then I give her the last
opportunity that I'm going to give her, on a silver platter...
I say, "you're right, I guess this hypnosis thing is kind of new and strange to me, seeing people act like that is kind of strange..." And yet she STILL doesn't
drop it! So now people are starting to watch, and I'm not particularly interested in being made anyone's bitch for the rest of the weekend. So I dip in to that
little bit of evil that I keep on reserve (I am an international pornographer after all... it's not always flowes and candy), I let the metaphorical poisin drip
from my metaphorical fangs, I look her right in the eye, and I let the venom flow. I say to her something along the lines of, I can appreciate that you feel the
need to come right over to me, even though you have no idea who I am, or what I'm about, and proceed to impart your wisdom on me, or whatever it is that you're
doing. So if you would kindly fulfill this need of yours, and be done with it, I would appreciate it." Or something to that affect.
She then stopped dead in her tracks, with an "I never!" expression, and then sort of left.
So with that business over with, it was time to go out to one of the casino night clubs with a gang of hypnotists and see how many people we could trance. Now it
was totally surreal to be in this sort of an environment. Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm a subculture type of guy, goth clubs and bondage clubs and hookah
lounges, where I know the owners and am considered a guest are more my speed. However, I really don't know how to deal with a "Normal" crowd, and usually stick
with the group of people that I'm with. In this case it was quite easy to do so, because we had some lovely and wonderful female hypnotists with us.
However, the night was about hypnotizing the entire night club and we all had to do our part. So I say the next part with a sense of humor, with no criticism
intended. You see, half of our group were just naturals in that environment. Within minutes David and some of the others had their subjects going along quite
well. It was like how you see in the movies, when a bunch of vampires come in to the bar, and the soundtrack is going, and they just own the place. Meanwhile over
on my side, I'm chilling out, and one of the hypnotists (who had been hypnotized in the stage show earlier was still a little zonked out) was doing a number guess
type of bit, and guessed 4 when the person said 3, so he had kind of biffed it and stepped back. I then stepped up, and played the jester and did the same bit,
only gave them a choice of one number to choose from, get it, funny ha ha. So I bombed out and stepped back. Then a third hypnotist in our group walked up and was
shuffling a deck of cards and said, "Do you like magic," when all of a sudden half of the deck went flying. So meanwhile our friends are kicking ass and taking
names on the other side of the bar, and I leaned in to my comrads in arms, and made the observation that they were like the vampires in the movies that walk in and
own the place, and that right now, we were more like the Mystery Men. Having said that, I quickly called dibs on The Shoveller!
Now why do I bring up these annectdotes. Mainly it's to point out that while it's important to never sell yourself short, it's also important to not take yourself
too humorously. Even the lady who had lectured me, ended up thinking things over, and we talked it out again after the fact. I had shared with her that I was an
erotic hypnotist, and thus found the whole thing amusing, and that she shouldn't worry so much and take it easy. She then asked me to hypnotize her in to an
orgasm, so you see all's well that ends well.
This basically brings us to midnight of the first day. The rest of the trip was pretty standard... Dinners, and hotels, and buffets, and Vegas Attractions. Don't
get me wrong, there were a few interesting points, such as the part where I kept on triggering one lady in to a trance over and over and over again (like 20 times,
hey I was drunk and it was amusing!), or the part where a friend and I did some dual hypnosis on a prostitute for two hours (We didn't know it at the time), or when
I hypnotized one lady by only using the words watermellon. Other than that it was pretty easy going and relaxing.
Does anyone know what happened to Mistress Cat? I was going through some of the older parts of HypnoFocus, and saw that her
web page is gone (bought up by some company that buys existing domains, evidently)....
Thank you for your kind words and compliments about my work. It's people like you who help keep me energized and going!
In post #588, you asked a few question, and I'll answer them now from my point of view. They are good questions, and I don't mind you asking them in the least
bit.
Additionally, it's good to ask questions about hypnotism in general, and specific hypnosis phenomena. One should always try to look at it with a critical eye.
Being an active observer, and using our minds to determine for ourselves what it is that we think we are seeing is important. Then when you enter a world of people
in states of increased suggestibility doing all sorts of unusual things, it can sometimes be difficult to know what to make of it. Anyways, that's what someone
told me at the end of a stage hypnotism show that I recently went to after I looked particularly disturbed after someone acted out a post hypnotic suggestion in my
direction (I was in the audience). I found her comments amusing, as she made the assumption that I was just some kid off the street who didn't have any idea what
hypnosis was about. Did I mention that I love going incognito? However, I digress off in to tangent-land...
Anyway, the message that I was attempting to convey was that it's a good thing to look at a hypnosis session and consider the possibilities. That's why I include
the segments of sessions where the responses aren't as spectacular as other segments. Why? Because people respond differently. Sure, it's good for the fantasy if
every woman, every time, says in monotone "Yes Master," while doing everything suggested to her. However, while this is great for the fantasy, it wouldn't provide
any real insight in to the reality of erotic hypnosis.
Let me present an example that I occasionally discuss with my subjects in my sessions. When doing the balloon test in my earlier sessions, I would sometimes see
that an otherwise responsive and hypnotized subject simply would not move their hands off their knees. It felt like no matter what I tried, I just couldn't get
them to do it. I would become self conscious, and feel like I was a failure and that nothing was working and get discouraged. Well, once I did this, and after
that test, the subject was completely hypnotized and completely obedient to all suggestions, and it seemed strange to me that the balloon test didn't work. So I
asked her about it, and she looked confused and said, of course it worked, my hands were up in the air as far as they could go. You see, in that particular case,
the suggestion was so complete, that she was completely unaware of the physical reality of her hands and arms (in much the same way as you might have been unaware
of your feet and legs, until reading this sentence), and had completely accepted the suggestion that her hands were floating in the air because of these
balloons.
Now at this point, I could go straight to addressing the specific example that you brought up in your question, regarding the invisible person suggestion, however,
I'm going to bring up one other thing, on the way.
I currently believe (that is to say that I suspect based on experience, but have not subjected my idea to a disciplined application of the scientific method) that
there are six basic types of hypnotic phenomena: 1.) Direct instruction (I say it, you do it), 2.) Creative visualization (I describe it, you imagine it), 3.)
Hypnotic regression (Placing the mind in a previous state, i.e. 28 year old being "rewound" to her 21'st birthday), 4.) Post-hypnotic suggestion (triggers and
conditions that occur outside of what is thought of as the trance state, that are specific instructions that temporarily re-create the trance state while being
carried out, or cause a deep confusion based trance state if interrupted), and finally in regards to your question 5.) Sensory hallucination (You're hot, you're
cold, your feeling oral sex), and 6.) Memory play (your forget things that you remembered, and you remember things that never happened).
Each individual subject responds to these six different types of hypnotic phenomena differently, and to different degrees. Additionally, along the lines of thought
of Timothy Leary, you have the influence of set and setting. Only for purposes of hypnosis, I explicitly expand it out to the set of the subject, the set of the
hypnotist, and the setting. Not only is the individual responsiveness of a subject dependent on some form of innate degree of responsiveness to each hypnotic
phenomena, but this can be modified by their current state of mind set, this can be modified by the hypnotists current state of mind set as it affects the subject
through choice of hypnotic technique, and all sorts of other things that people communicate to each other verbally and non verbally. Also, the environment modifies
the effect of hypnotic phenomena on a subject, either enhancing or diminishing it. People are very complicated, that's what makes hypnosis so interesting!
So now that I've gone through all that, I think I can finally start to address your question.
You asked: "A while back I remember reading something, can't remember where I saw it, about a guy that said he hypnotized his girlfriend into thinking he was invisible. He
went on to say how he freaked her out picking stuff up, so to her the objects were just floating on their own. I noticed on a few of your clips you had your
subjects have things disappear from them, clothes, breast, etc., but you never went as far as to make a person actual disappear on them.
Is something like that even possible?
I thought about it, and couldn't see how. Don't get me wrong, I know the mind can be trained to do many things, but I just can't see how someone would neglect the
space that the "invisible person" takes up. Let alone anything behind them or that they would block from the other person's vision. Also, since I haven't seen it on
your site either, that helps me think the guy that said it was just blowing smoke. It makes for an interesting read but not sound realism.
What's your take on that?"
The specific suggestion, of the invisible person is fairly common. It's a good example of what is called a negative suggestion. Instinctively one may have
difficulty seeing how such a thing could be possible, which is why it's usually such a spectacular display. However, the mental mechanism isn't all that difficult
to relate to, in context. For example, consider this scenario. You're looking for your keys, and you can't find them. You've been around the house three times,
and half torn it up in the process. Then you give up, sigh and turn your head, and your keys were in plain sight the entire time. The reason why we experience
negative hallucinations in normal reality is that we receive a lot of raw information from our senses. This information in it's non-stop entirety would be too much
for us to do anything with consciously, so our subconscious mind mediates, and only let's the conscious mind get what it needs. Think of the cocktail party effect,
a din of different conversations, completely ignored, yet if someone mentions your name, you are immediately aware.
Now at this point I would imagine someone saying, true, but still, not noticing my keys is a long way away from someone holding a pair of keys in the air, but not
be seen themselves. That's why not only do you get negative hallucination, but I would imagine that some creative visualization comes in to play. Additionally,
you do have direct instruction - YOU WILL NOT SEE ME. I suspect that all these factors come to play together.
Now, because I find it incredibly difficult to come up with a simple answer to anything related to hypnosis, here's another aspect. The subject may be aware of the
person, but through hypnotic suggestion is incapable of acting in any way other than as if the person was invisible. This is a subtle difference. This is more of
a denial mechanism. Of course, throw in a little memory play later, and the person forgets that was what happened (or once again, is unable to respond to the
memory), and it gets even more interesting.
So that's pretty much what I have to say on the subject. I hope if gives you some things to consider.
To say the least I'm impressed by your content. I stumbled across your site a lil while back and well, for the
most part I was a unsure of the validity of hypnosis. In all honesty I'm still just a bit unsure of it, but you've got me weighing the possibilities out.
I had one particular question I wanted to ask after seeing some of your footage. A while back I remember reading something, can't remember where I saw it, about a
guy that said he hypnotised his girlfriend into thinking he was invisible. He went on to say how he freaked her out picking stuff up, so to her the objects were
just floating on their own. I noticed on a few of your clips you had your subjects have things dissapear from them, clothes, breast, etc., but you never went as
far as to make a person actual dissapear on them.
Is something like that even possible?
I thought about it, and couldn't see how. Don't get me wrong, I know the mind can be trained to do many things, but I just can't see how someone would neglect the
space that the "invisible person" takes up. Let alone anything behind them or that they would block from the other person's vision. Also, since I haven't seen it
on your site either, that helps me think the guy that said it was just blowing smoke. It makes for an interesting read but not sound realism.
What's your take on that?
*if you don't mind me asking*
I was very curious, what kind of video equipment do you use to video tape and edit the videos and then encode them on the web?
---
That's a good question.
In our studio, we have a Cannon Mini-DV video camera, and a Sony Digital-8 camera. This is where we get our two angle shoots. It's done underneath a 1,000 watt
starlight softbox (I believe it's 1,000 watt), and is done in front of a home made backdrop setup courtesy of home depot, and the two tripods from my old lights.
The Digital-8 camera, by the way, was brought in mainly to facilitate digital transfer of our older Hi-8mm footage (old stuff like clover, and wendy, etc...).
After the video is shot, they go in to my office, and then are imported to my 15 inch Macintosh Powerbook, with a secondary 17 inch CRT monitor. I usually capture
to my external 160 GB LaCie 7200 rpm firewire drive.
At this point, I'm ready to go with Apple's Final Cut Express, version 2.0. In this software, I adjust the audio levels, and try to filter out any hum or noise
from the tape mechanism, or the upper range of the mike, or if someone forgets to turn off the air conditioning. I also try to adjust the color balance, if my crew
did't quite get the two cameras to match up.
I then synchronize the two video streams, turn off the audio from the one taken with the inferior microphone (I have a camera mounted shotgun mike for the long shot
camera, the one least likely to be moving around a lot. If I mount it on the close up camera, sometimes you get noise from the movement of the camera on the
tripod).
Once the two video streams are syncronized, then I go through the video again, doing my best to keep it interesting to watch by switching camera angles when it
makes sense to do so. The clips are divided up in to about 3-5 minute segments, depending on how logical it is to do so, and then saved to disk.
After everything is chopped up, and descriptions and durations are noted, then it's off to be processed to their final form for the web. I run a custom program
that I wrote in AppleScript that controls QuickTime Pro (for quicktime) and Media Cleaner (for windows media). After all the output files get processed, it's time
to make a thumbnail, then upload to the Internet.
Once uploaded, I have custom software on the webserver, which dishes them up.
As you can see, this is a fairly long process, but this is the caddilac process of ease and speed. You don't even want to hear about how much grief I had to put up
with when I was doing analog video on the x86 platform. *shudder*
So, if you're thinking of doing what I do, there's the formula. Just be sure to give me some props (and a link back!), and e-mail me privately for ideas and
suggestions on how we both can help each other out! :-)
Just to add my "official" two cents worth, in message #575 you asked:
I don't know if this is ontopic, but... does anyone know if hypnovideo.com and entrancementvideo.com videos are real hypnosis sessions?
Yes, this is on topic*. Hypnovideo.com and EntrancementVideo.com, are not only
genuine real hypnosis (or at least good enough, that I can't tell the difference, and I do this stuff for a living!), but are also both reputable companies that
have a long standing and established reputation in the Online Erotic Hypnosis Community. I've seen their respective material, and it's good stuff. Not only would
I endorse them (as I just have), I would even be open to the idea of working with them on occasion for special projects. So if it's possible to have a more glowing
endorsement than this, I'm not seeing it! :-)
* On occasion I won't moderate through a message regarding a few specific... *cough* producers (theoretically) of erotic hypnosis material. If someone is a
scammer, or represents themselves as real, when they are not, or otherwise (in my opinion) detract from the community as a whole, I filter them out. Why, you ask?
Because in the digital age, the only way you can avoid not promoting someone, is to deny them existence through not mentioning them. There's a saying that there's
no such thing as bad publicity, and that is the truth. There are message boards out there, dedicated to exposing scammers, yet all it takes is a short video clip,
and people are throwing their money away in to a scam as quickly as they can... even after being warned.
In message #582, you talked about about the issues of patents and hypnosis software. I don't know if you've viewed it yet, but the full text of the patent is at this
link.
As far as prior art goes, I know there were computer programs that ran on AT class 80286 machnes long ago that were to put you in to a trance. Additionally my
first casual reading of the patent would appear to me (and I am not a lawyer, and none of this is legal advice) to think that it's too vague to hold water. I mean,
hell, you wouldn't believe the nonsense that people try to patent and think that they own (amazon one click shopping, Microsoft's double click pattent in Europe,
etc.)
Really what it comes down to is how badly do you believe in this? Are you willing to go to court over it? Are they willing to take you to court over it? Etc.
That's where things are decided, not through email between two yahoo e-mail addresses.
On the other side of the coin, you mention the ability of open source to combat this sort of nonsense. That is, of course, a possibility. You might alway want to
do some digging around, I've heard of certain hypnotists and NLP people trying to patent both concepts for years. However, ultimately, you really can't patent a
natural state of mind that someone can enter in to. That, in my opinion, is the ultimate weakness of any Hypnosis related patent.
I think that another way to look at the idea of the value of fake versus real hypnosis for erotic purposes, it
to consider the larger picture of real hypnosis versus any fictional mind control themes
Please note that this doesn't excuse dishonesty. If something is being described as being real, then it should be real, if it's fake, then it shouldn't be
represented as being genuine. This has nothing to do with whether or not it's erotic, but as a matter of the principle that you shouldn't support any individual or
organization that lies to you, as a matter of course.
Having said that, I'll be the first to admit that I have frequently found non-real hypnosis and impossible (fictional) mind control themes to be erotic. For
example, The Erotic Mind Control Stories Archive, is one of my personal favorite websites. Naturally, real hypnosis, both
erotic and otherwise, is arousing to me for a number of reasons.
Ultimately, however, I think it comes down to the satisfaction derived from fantasy and imagination versus the satisfaction derived from reality and imagination.
If you think about it, and consider examples from your own experiences (I know, that last sentence was "NLP-ish," but don't worry, it's to facilitate, not to
influence... of course, if I were being really tricky, maybe this interrupted disclaimer is nothing more than a written "break state." Then again, maybe a cigar
is just a cigar) I'm sure that you'll find that they are similar, but perhaps have a slightly different flavor.
In the intent of not being a shameless self promoter, I'll choose two recent examples of each, that are not among the scope of my own personal work. At the same
time, however, I won't sell myself short. If anyone reading this isn't familiar with my work, go to HypnosisFetish.com,
and look at my work, over 35 hours of real erotic hypnosis video footage. Thank you for bearing with me on that, sometimes I get embarrassed by being so
commercial.
Now, back to the matter at hand. Let us consider the erotic aspects of real hypnosis. Fairly recently, I've been lucky enough to view the hypnosis video work of
my friend Lord Hypno. In one of his set of clips, a couple is both under the affects of a post hypnotic suggestion. They go back and forth giving each other
commands, in a playfully adversarial game of tit-for-tat, with a gradual and amusing escalation.
I found this clip satisfying in the sense that there was a power exchange, and competition. At the same time, the participants get in to it, experiencing a wide
range of strong emotions.
However, hypnosis isn't mind control, and while amusing to imagine what limit are there to the power to influence an individual's mind, it is important to remember
that there are rules (although unique to the individual) that exist that sets these boundaries. Figuring these things out on the fly is half of the fun.
On the other hand, while killing time in a hotel room at 6:00 a.m., I stumbled upon the preview of Ella Enchanted. This is a recently released movie that I had
heard about some time ago, in regards to a girl who is given the gift of obedience by a magical fairy at birth. As a consequence she had to obey any order from
anyone, whether she wanted to or not. As a side note, I didn't follow up on this film, because my initial impression from it's description was that the main
character was a little girl, and that is an immediate disqualifier for fantasy material. Imagine my surprise when I saw the preview and there was a hot and legal
adult woman with the gift of obedience!
Yes, even the non-erotic PG-13 rated rehash of an oft repeated Hollywood theme with out of place contemporary jokes and references captured the fantasy and
imagination of this particular erotic hypnotist.
Even though it's not real, and can't even be possible, it's still fun to suspend disbelief as the main character is frequently given orders that she must obey. It
adds to the enjoyment when you consider the fact that throughout the film, when this happens, she sort of jerks rigid, has an obedient expression on her face, and
thrusts her breasts (containing ample cleavage) out. Yeah, I was willing to watch this, even at hotel pay per view prices.
So what's the point? Only that the type of material that one finds arousing, interesting, captivating, whatever, really depends on the individual. However, one
should always evaluate the producer of the material that one consumes. This goes for news, movies, television, books, internet, what have you... Be an active
consumer of media, not just passive. Don't just enjoy (or not-enjoy as the case may be), but enjoy and analyze. Think about and consider, not just the material,
but how it makes you feel, and how it affects you.
... Of course, I would also encourage you to give consideration and support to independent sources of media. When you find something that you like, back up the
people who make it. Otherwise, all you're really left with is the news and media that Disney, Rupert Murdoch, AOL/Time Warner, Sony and General Electric want you
to see. Rehashed, mass produced and catering to the widest audience.
I need some help/feedback/suggestions here (this is extremely important). People are beginning to invade on the free and open idea of hypnosis; here's the message
I posted to my Virtual Hypnotist yahoo group:
--------------
Just so you know, don't be too worried about the Virtual Hypnotist
software at this point, since it's not the only hypnosis software in
existence, but I just recieved a threat email from the creator of
HypnoSoft.com on the fact that he actually owns a patent that covers
all hypnosis software (claiming that he "invented" hypnosis software)
lol. That is true, since I read it a few months back, and kinda knew
that me and the other writers would start getting letters. I'm going
to contact every author of hyponsis software that I know of. Also, I
would encourage all of you to boycott HypnoSoft.com (and I'm also
going to remove all links to that site ASAP, if I have any). Here is
the letter:
---
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 08:48:21 -0400
From: "RB"
Subject: Violation of hypnosis software patent
To: followthewatch55@yahoo.com
Hello,
You may not be aware, but I was awarded the US patent 6,565,504 for
hypnosis software. I believe your hypnosis products are substantially
in violation of this patent. I am sorry, but I am compelled to request
that you take appropriate action to comply with US patent law and
desist from distribution of the offending software products.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Blumenthal, MS, NCC

The funny thing is that I've used hypnosis software that was made
before he probably even issued that patent. There's even companies
that exist solely to sue and demand royalties from other people, for
their "intellecual property" covered in patents. This is about the
same as claiming that he invented word processing software.
So currently I'm going to alert everybody on this issue, and we'll see
where it goes. Also, it is impossible for him to completely destroy
Virtual Hypnotist, considering it has been *Open Source* its entire life.
Thank you for your kind words, I always appreciate positive feedback, it's very encouraging.
In message #580 you asked two questions:
"Was what we saw all of gothic heather session or was there more?"
That was basically all of the Gothic Heather session. There were a few parts that hit the editing room floor for one reason or another, but for the most part I
don't discuss them publicly. Invariably it gets everyone's curiosity up, and then I feel bad because generally I stand firm to my editing decisions.
"Any chance of a written preview of what is to come in the next few weeks, or months?"
Well, I've fallen a little behind on the updates. Recently I've had to (temporarily?) take one of my assistants of payroll due to equipment and cashflow
constraints. Also, I've been exceptionally busy as of late.
However, the good news is that I've got Lacey, the lady for June going now and updated to the sites. More updates are in store for Monday, and that should get
things back on track, and keep them on track.
I'd have it done sooner, however, I'm going to visit a friend of mine, who I met at Fantasm (who was the erotic Hypnotist at that convention) up in Las Vegas for
the weekend. Evidently there is a stage hypnotist conference going on up there, and since Phoenix is only a 6 hour drive, I didn't protest the trip too much.
:-)
However, back on topic...
The Lacey set starts out a little slow, as we find that she's one of the type of trance subjects that gets so comfortable and heavy with relaxation that they don't
want to do much of anything in the trance state. However, over time, talking with the subject, and based on observation we find that we're able to overcome the
initial limitations. Not only do we overcome them, but we surpass them.
For example, she doesn't want to take off her shirt, and I can't get her to do it. But when I talk with her in normal consciousness, she indicates that she's fine
with it. Upon further investigation, we find that she has a deepseated dislike of that particular shirt.
Also, I'm able to get a positive response on one of the more rare trance depth tests, where the subject is moving their hands around each other in a circle, and
can't stop moving them.
From these successes, it's a short distance to full nudity, and the orgasm on command.
After Lacey, the next subject was an 18 year old woman, fresh out of Catholic School (I kid you not). She had red hair, and was a full on instant hypno subject
that was ready to obey. It was a really cool set. More on this one after I edit it and summarize it.
A little while later I did another subject, and while she followed instructions, she was more of an I'll do anything you tell me to do with my body, but I'm not
going to let you in to my mind type of subject. Since I've done a few of those recently, and didn't feel like jumping through a bunch of reverse psychology hoops,
and other assorted nonsense, I decided to cut that session short.
... and that pretty much brings me up to current. Although who knows what interesting things this weekend will bring!
Actually, I agree with you almost totally, Doc. I buy videos from the people who I'm nearly certain do real
hypnosis, and I don't buy (many) faked videos.
I have a hypno-sexual fetish, I *want* the hypnosis to be real. My point, though, is that sometimes the models are rather obviously not in a (very deep) trance
but, so long as the forms are met and the intent is genuine, that doesn't matter. I don't think the "reality" of hypno-pornography lies in how deeply (or whether)
the model is hypnotized. I'm turned on by my *belief* that she's in a trance, not whether I think she could experience positive hallucinations or age regression.
The problem with most faked hypno-porn is that the people who make it are either ignorant about hypnosis or don't care enough or aren't confident enough to try and
make it (seem) real. Like you, I'd prefer it if they'd give it up (or really make an effort).
Jslay wrote in message #576 - 02:15 June 14, 2004 - "This isn't therapy, it's pornography." While I agree to
some of your points, I disagree with the conclusion. Yes, it isn't therapy. Yes, it is pornography. However, it's more than that. It's hypnosis fetish. Within
the hypnosis fetish community, many members of the audience want "real" hypnosis along with their erotica. There are a few hypnofetish type sites that use
actresses and faked inductions with outlandish plots . . . however, the folks who are truer in their hypnosis effects, such as Aaron's work here or Paul's work at
hypnovideo and elsewhere, are going to have more success and respect within the specific community. There are a couple folks who do some wonderful "acting" work
with interesting plots (in addition to my hypnosis credentials, I have advanced degrees in theatre and in literature) . . . however, they tend to be the exceptions
rather than the rule. Many of the "fake" sites have the same cheap level of production and shoot hardcore porn with fake hypnosis as the gimmick. They are not
really catering to the hypnosis fetish market per se but the so-called "reality porn" market with the staged hypnosis as a gimmick. These bits (hypnotrick and
hypnogirls come to mind) tend to create more false impressions and misinformation than they entertain. In all honesty, they'd do just as well financially without
the fake hypnosis and I wish they'd drop it. Really, if you have an actress willing to do hardcore porn while faking hypnosis, you could just do some hardcore
hypnosis porn with real hypnosis if this is the market you're shooting for. Of course, the market for erotic hypnosis material is becoming more robust and varied.
While your tastes may run along the "who cares if the hypnosis is real as long as it's hot" lines, others are a bit more "purist" in their take on it all. That's
okay. - Brian (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange)
I'm a (lay) hypnotist with some experience in this area, and, IMO, Hypnovideo/Entrancements erotic hypnosis
videos are as real as it gets. As real as any erotic hypnosis currently being filmed for public consumption, including the HypnoFocus sites. The hypnotist
involved is quite an experienced professional.
That having been said, I must also say that, for entertainment purposes, it is my opinion that it does not matter what level of trance the subject is able to
acheive, nor even whether the subject believes (s)he is in a trance, at all. What matters is that the scenario is believable to the *audience*: that we, as
viewers, can allow ourselves to believe that the subject was, in fact, hypnotized and allowing the hypnotist to take control. In short, a few truly competent
actors with some hypnosis experience could make great videos. This isn't therapy, it's pornography.
Fetishist banned from hospitals
Wed 2 June, 2004 21:49
LONDON (Reuters) - A man with a fetish for medical items has become the first person to be banned from every hospital in England and Wales, the NHS says.
Unemployed Norman Hutchins, 53, has harassed and abused medical staff more than 40 times since January in his quest for surgical masks and gowns, a court in York
was told.
The court banned him from all private and NHS hospitals and doctors' and dentists' offices.

Check out the new Peer to Peer section, mentioned in the news above. I'm getting ready to hit the sack after
programming it all night, and would love to wake up this evening to have a bunch of additions to go through!
I've updated the Links section. When I switched to the new
software, from the totally broken old software, a lot of links didn't make it over. I had always meant to take care of it, but had totally forgotten about it.
Anyways, it's fixed. There's a lot of good stuff in there. I'll write the interface as soon as I get another free moment to let people submit links again...
I just finished tonight's erotic hypnosis session, and all I have to say is... WOW! It was pretty amazing.
The amount of pleasure and the speed and depth that she went in to trance was unbelieveable. Summer is going to rock!
Mindeye, in message #562, you mentioned that kctwosome-400k 8 and 400k 9 are the same file. I'm aware of that
one as well, I'm going to investigate it further, and try to correct the problem.
Jslay, in message #563, you paid me some compliments. Thank you very much, I appreciate your support, and the support of everyone out there that keeps me going.
Speaking of being busy, I have another woman scheduled to come over in about an hour to experience erotic hypnosis for her bennifit, and all of yours. I'm really
looking forward to it, she's cute. I'll let you all know how it went afterwards.
Aaron, it is *good* to see you're so visibly busy. I suspect I'll end up spending more money on erotica this
summer than is my usual wont, and it'll mostly be your fault! Of course, this is not really a complaint...
You're welcome :-). And sorry for my insistence, but I think
"http://www.hypnosisfetish.com/members/kctwosome/kctwosome_008-400k.wmv" and "http://www.hypnosisfetish.com/members/kctwosome/kctwosome_009-400k.wmv" are the same
files or very similar ones. I'm downloading some sets before my subscription ends and I found this mistake and the last one
Well, it's been several hours since my last post, and what a crazy time it was...
Heidi came over, and she was cute. I arranged her sitting on a chair at about half my height, and I admit I'm a scumbag, I couldn't help but feast my eyes on her
cleavage while I was doing the induction. She was very responsive to the induction, and her responsiveness to suggestion tended to be more kinesthetic than usual.
One suggestiability test that I only rarely use, where you have their hands spinning, and tell them that they can't stop, worked very well on her. (I rarely use
that test, because it's unpredictable).
We came to some interesting phonomenon when it was time to suggest that she take off her shirt. I handled it delicately, and checked how she was feeling. She
reported that she was completely comfortable with the environment, she was hypnotized, she didn't mind being naked. After trying to figure out what was causing the
resistance to the suggestion to take off her shirt, I found out to my surprise that her shirt was difficult to take off, and that she had a deep seated emotional
dislike of that particular shirt. In my years of doing this, I've never encountered anything like that before. On the plus side, after all the techniques that I
had made use of to get to that point, once we were past the evil shirt, things went very well after that.
So, that's what I did tonight, and what I have lined up for my websites after the Fantasm footage.
Tonight I'm video taping an erotic hypnosis session. I'll give you a few of the details after it's over. As
long as everything goes well, tonight's session will be the material that follows the Fantasm set on HypnosisFetish and HypnoGames. We have another attractive woman scheduled for tomorrow night as well, so this summer should be a daily update with
no delay kind of summer. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm working hard to take care of all my members!
Additionally, we should be shipping DVDs soon. The first batch are going to be DVD-r videos produced on my Macintosh. They have good compatibility, and have been
very reliable. I feel that after researching it for the past year, and with everything that I learned from the HaXXXor project,
that we're ready to move forward in that direction. We have no plans at this time to stock VHS, but I know that not everyone has a DVD player, so we'll be more
than happy to make anything that we have on DVD available as VHS as well.
Finally, it's still in the planning stages, and ususally I like to keep quiet about things before they actually happen. However, I think you'll all be excited to
hear that I have a mass erotic hypnosis session of a whole bunch of attractive women coming up soon. All the details are still being worked out. However, I'm
starting to feel secure enough with my staff, and my company's infrastructure to try something like that out. It's going to be more ambitious than anything I've
ever scheduled before. Since things have been going so well, and it's looking like we're going to have a nice buffer of material for the sites, I'm willing to try
something a little more experimental.
I'm also planning on giving some in real life talks/presentations... call it what you will. Initially I'd like to focus on the south western United States
(California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, maybe Colorado). This is still in the brainstorming stage, but basically it would be a two part presentation.
The first part would be a discussion about what I think hypnosis is, and how that relates to the erotic aspects and human sexuality. The second part would be a
real life demonstration of erotic hypnosis phenomena, but I have a few ideas that would make it a slightly different format than what one would expect from a stage
hypnosis show. If you're in any of those states that I've mentioned, and have any ideas on how to arrange a location, please let me know privately, and we'll see
what we can do to get the ball rolling.
There's a whole lot more going on in the background, but it's all boring business stuff, so I won't mention it here. I just thought you all would appreciate being
kept in the loop!
I confirmed that that file was missing. I compared it to HypnoGames, and it seems like something got slightly
out of sequence. I also finally tracked down two missing files that weren't on HG from that set. I'm going to have to take a look at the Stacy set on both
websites, and re-import them in to the system. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Welcome aboard. I haven't read through your stories yet, but I skimmed your site breifly while moderating your post. So what exactly do you mean when you say
"from sharing with clients?"
Hi This is the first time I have posted here and so happy to have found you. I am a practising hypnotherapist
and a writer. I specialise in erotica. Although I hate self promotion I suppose this is:

That's not pushy at all. In fact, it's more than a fair question. I wanted to give it some thought, and get Gothic Heather 2 finished up, and get caught up on
everything before I answered that. Additionally, I wanted to address the Windows Media Interlacing problem that was mentioned in message #543. I know how my
fellow erotic hypnosis fetishists are, and once I started posting details, you guys would want to know everything, and rightfully so!
I'm going to write up my official Fantasm 2004 writeup and place it in the HypnoFocus Articles Section straight away.
Members of HypnosisFetish and HypnoGames can expect to see the first 10 clips of the
Fantasm Set tonight or tomorrow morning.
As always, I'm very greatful for everyone's support, enthusiasm and patience. It's a lot of hard work keeping the sites, and the community efforts going, and I'm
very lucky to have everyone's support.
Urm... I don't want to seem pushy, but some potentially exciting things that might have produced some good

Regarding the current HIV situation in the adult industry:
You may or may not be aware that there's been an outbreak of HIV infections in the adult industry in California recently. Adult Video
News has a good page here on this issue.
At Fantasy Photographs LLC, this issue hasn't affected us for two main reasons.
First, generally we don't have any sexual content between people. Light touching and kissing, hugging, and rubbing tend to be the full extent of any contact that
takes place between one or more people in our photographs and videos. Unless someone has an open sore (which we tend to screen out), these are not disease
transmission vectors. Click Here for CDC information on HIV, the virus which causes AIDS.
Second, since we mostly feature amateur talent, we generally don't have any contact with the mainstream industry.
While we don't currently have any plans to make our content more sexual in nature, if the day comes we have access to this
organization which helps the industry stay safe.
If you have any further questions regarding HIV, AIDS, the adult industry, or what my company's policies on the subject are, please feel free to e-mail me, or to
post to this forum.
One of our subscribers has sent in this link,
to some video clips on a hypnosis documentary.
Captive Minds: Hypnosis and Beyond
National Film Board of Canada (1983)
Prod: Mark Zannis, David Wilson, Adam Symansky. NFBC. Dir: Pierre Lasry. 56 MINS.
Captive Minds explores the power of suggestion and its ability to influence behaviour sometimes for life. By focusing on such disparate institutions as an Indian
ashram, a U.S. Marines training camp, a monastery and the Moonie cult, the film reveals the striking similarities in the indoctrination methods used to archive
long-term effects.
I don't recall getting your e-mail, but then again, sometimes it takes me a little while to answer them all. The Hypnotized Fetish-Sluts site is currently not
accessable. Adult Check changed their policies several months ago and became completely an in-house operation (as far as I understand it). This mostly has to do
with how VISA changed the game some time ago. (For those who aren't in the know, VISA, the credit card company, took advantage of a lot of the changes in our
country after September 11th, to promote their own agenda. Life is a lot tougher for the adult webmasters now, because there are much fewer options available. I
now have to pay 750 dollars a year, VISA tax, just for the priviledge of using their card, something that had always been free before, and still is for all other
vendors outside of the adult arena).
I made a copy of Hypnotized Fetish Sluts, and placed it inside the member's area of HypnosisFetish.com. There's also a
good chance that I'll be doing the same for OnlineHypno.com. I may also ressurect the site it's self through CCBill. It's all a
matter of hours in the day.
I hope that answers your questions about the site. If anyone has any opinions about the matter, please feel free to post them.
hullo ,aaron can you tell me please is the FETISH SLUTS -HYPNOTIZED site still available .i am a member of
adult key but my password no longer works. have you made alternative arrangements. i tried to email you at HYPNOGAMES site without success alan /aka

Here's something that has lots of possibilities. I recently posted the first version of a new hypnosis program
called HypnoHouse, and it mainly aims to be a 3D hypnosis RPG game. Currently it features a building called the "Hypnosis Center", which has a large hypnotizing
machine in its basement. It's in full first-person 3D. Try it out if you want, and if anyone wants to help turn it into a full hypnosis/MC-related game, then
contact me. Here's the website:
Thank you for the compliments, I'm very happy that you enjoy my website.
I too have noticed that the Windows Media Format files have been a little different than they used to be ever since I started using Media Cleaner for Macintosh to
proces them. I was unable to determine the cause, but thanks to your link now I think I've got a good idea what is causing it and how to fix it. You can expect
that knowledge to be applied to May's update (which will start in a day or two or three).
Could you do something about the interlace of some of the videos? I have subscribed to Hypnosisfetish and
downloaded some wmvs at 400k of the last videos, and they have this "tearing of the image" artifact (see
http://www.puremotion.com/editstudio/manual/interlacedvideoexplained/ if you don't know what I'm talking about). It's just a minor problem, but it is sometimes an
annoyance (or perhaps I'm a little obssesed with image quality :-) )
Anyway I have to congratulate you for the site. It's one of the best ones I have seen
Hi, I'm Tina. I love this site! I was hypnotized by y friend before, I just stared at her
pendant.....back.....and.....forth it was soooooooooooooooo relaxing...............then she made me warm in my "special place" my hand just slid down my into
my.......................hehe
I just returned to my office after over two weeks on the road promoting HaXXXor ( My DVD project where naked chicks teach you how
to hack computers) and HypnosisFetish.com.
I'll be posting a full writeup of everything cool that happened to me on this trip, that you all would be interested in.
Additionally, I'll get the Gothic Heather 2 updates back on track today. The last one should have went up on the 18th. We have plenty more. I'll also get the
preview picts in to the system. I had thought that I had uploaded them to the system before I left, and found out to my embarrassment that I hadn't, after it was
too late for me to do anything about it.
Hello all,
Its been a while. I was wondering how I can update my profile, since my email address has changed and I'd like to add more to it. Thank you!
You have probably observed this by now, but the .jpg images associated
with Gothic Heather 2 (sets 9 through the most recent) are not displaying
on the hypnofetish.com preview pages. As a lurker who cannot really afford
membership at this time, I'd like to see the teaser pics.
It was great to meet you and your crew when you were down here for the Fantasm convention. Next year is
already in the planning. I am talking to the Con directors about adding at least a workshop and a hypnosis class or two in addition to my hypnosis show. After the
fun we all had this time, I'm sure it won't be hard to talk you into being a key part of the festivities. It was great to watch you work and I appreciate the honor
of being able to hang out on the video shoot while you worked your "magic" on those beautiful women. I saw that KiKi posted earlier and I wanted to say "Hi" to her
and a "shout out" to the other awesome babes (with out giving away any suprises you might have in store for your subscribers) I can't wait 'till next time!
your hypno-buddy in Atlanta,
David
You were great. I'm glad that you had a good time being hypnotized. I haven't had a chance to post to my board yet about how incredible the convention was, but
after they hear what I have to say (and watch the video), I think we're going to have to get a seperate wing of the hotel just for all the hypnosis fetishists!
So tell me, what did you enjoy the most about it?
(And don't worry, everyone that was there has alreay started asking when I'll be back in that part of the country, and the answer is VERY SOON) :-)
Hi there! I remember you guys from Fantasm (I was the black dred-ed chick)! I had a lot of fun and I did a
little exploring on the sites you listed on the back of your card (this one, for example), and I think, no, I know that if the opportunity arose again, I would like
to do something like this once more. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it.
I'm at the Fantasm Convention in Atlanta, GA this weekend, and it's been a
good time so far. I got the opportunity to watch a erotic stage hypnotism show, and meet some of the members of the Atlanta erotic hypnosis community. I'll have
more of a writeup later, as it's very late in the night, and I've got to get some sleep! :-)
In message 527 you asked about whether or not there is a place online where people explore the possibilities of how they can be as hypnotists, or to explore their
potential as a hypnotized subject. There are numerous communities out there. Hypnofocus.com, for example, is one such place that explores that through discussion
of the aspects of erotic hypnosis news and community. We also frequently discuss the things that I've done in my videos on a few of my other sites such as HypnosisFetish.com.
My site isn't the only one. There are many Yahoo groups. A lot of people do it through instant messaging programs. There are e-mail groups. There are other
websites. My advice would be to look around, and find a community of people that mesh with how you feel about things, and that you feel comfortable with.
This is a very exciting time for the interest, and I consider myself very lucky to be involved with it.
In regards to the pre-recorded stuff, sometimes people respond to it, sometimes they don't. It doesn't reflect upon the quality of the material, and it doesn't
reflect on the quality of you as a subject. It's more of a different strokes for different folks sort of thing. In my work, frequently you'll see a one on one,
highly responsive style of induction, where I adapt to the responses of the individual. Pre-recorded, by it's very nature isn't responsive to the subject, instead
the subject is expected to be responsive to it. Both methods have their merits and flaws.
In message #526, you mentioned that you joined HypnosisFetish.com and are enjoying the site. I'm glad that you like it, hearing positive feedback like your post
helps to keep me energized and working hard to bring you all more material. It's a lot of work to keep the sites outputting new clips at this rate, but it's really
worth it when I read such a cool post.
I'm glad that my work has motivated you to pursue a formal education on the subject, and I hope that you will achieve your potential and go as far as you'd like.
College can be a tough long hall for some people, but as long as you have your goals, and the will to pursue them, you'll be fine. If you ever need advice or to
vent, and get some encouragement, e-mail me anytime.
Also, you had asked about my beginnings in the field. It's really always been something that's been a part of me.
You can find more information at the following links: Hypnotist Pornographer.com, my vanity site, discusses how I became a hypnotist pornographer. Interview - French Book, this is an interview that I did for a book on erotica to be released in Paris this
autumn. Interview - Bizarre, this is an an interview that I did for an article in Bizarre Magazine.
I hope this links help you to understand me, my origins, and what I'm all about a little bit more.
In message #525 you made a recommendation for future sessions. I think it's a great idea to do some more open eye stuff, and get some good close-ups of the
process. I'll do my best to try and make this something that we focus on more. Also feel free to use this forum to make suggestions. I may act on it or not.
Sometimes it's something that is practical, sometimes it's not. Your suggestion is a good one, I like it.
Thanks for the link, I'll go over there and check it out when I get a free moment. Right now I'm in the middle of a trip (more on that in a later post), and I
don't have a whole lot of time.
In message 524, you asked what the deal was with Trish's set. Trish's set is done. Read the Hypnofocus.com archives for more information. She had issues, and we
decided to end the session. I'm not going to go in to any further detail on the matter. The only reason the clips that got put up even made it to the net was
because a lot of my subscribers were extremely interested in seeing what material that we had, even if it wasn't a full set. This is ancient history.
You also asked why we can't have a Tina and Carrie twosome.
Because. Deal with it.
You also suggested that I hypnotize them separately so that they don't know that they're going to have a twosome. That's not going to happen, because that's not
how we do things. Our ladies consent to doing our sessions. Additionally, when people are going to be working together, they consent to that as well.
Finally you suggested a Tina, Carrie and Kathy threesome. It's not going to happen. The reason why is the same as Tina and Carrie, only more so.
However, it's possible that Tina and Kathy might appear in a twosome, or even with another person for a threesome. Please keep in mind that my goal isn't to just
tell you no no no. However, there are ethical, operational and logistic reasons why you won't see some of the things that you've recommended. I'll discuss ethical
reasons all the time, because that's important to talk about. However, I consider many operational and logistical reasons to be internal, and won't discuss it in
this forum.
just as a point of interest, you mentioned before (perhaps in that interview) that you think of hypnosis more
as something to explore, rather than "what can you make somone do" I was wondering is there a place online, where people explore possibilities like that under
hypnosis? not just erotic but complete recreational hypnosis?
also, I've personally had a lot of problems going under, with any pre-recorded induction online, and I really dont know why this is, or how to change it.. I think I
understand how hypnosis works, I just have no Idea why it dosnt work on me
Well, I just joined HypnoFetish.com and proceeded to leech as many vids as I could for future study. Your
comfort and ease with these ladies is remarkable.
I would have to say Gothic Heather is my favorite so far; she's just beautiful. Amazing eyes, truly amazing.
I wanted to ask a question about your beginnings in the field of Hypnosis, how did that come about? I haven't seen any in-depth information on any of your sites,
and I'm a curious type.
Any information you can provide is most helpful as I'm considering trying something like this myself. No no I'm not a psycho lunatic hoping to enslave the world,
but I am considering going to college (never been before) for Psychology and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
Finding your site just propelled me further ahead, and not just because of the erotic hypnosis part of it, but because I can help people and have fun doing it.
Good luck and continued success with your site(s), I'll be keeping my subscription month to month as cashflow allows.
I have a request for a future session, if you don't mind us taking advantage of the board you've set up for such purposes. I may have asked for this before; if so,
please forgive me for being a bear of very little brain and forcing you to hear me repeat myself. :D
Probably thanks to comics and cartoons as a young man, of particular interest to me is a woman's eyes as she drifts to sleep, whether real or hypnosis-induced. If
you could work in some eye closeup shots, especially at key times when your subject is just about to lose focus, into some of your sessions, that would, at least in
my mind, make your already great service to the Hypnosis Fetish community even better.
I have found in my own experience that you can occasionally draw out the experience through hypnosis suggestions to a willing and capable subject. For example, I
have found in the past that suggestions such as "You will now open your eyes but you will be unable to see anything" or even the more blunt "Until I snap my
fingers, whenever you feel pleasure, you will feel a tug on your eyes rolling them up into your head. The stronger the pleasure, the stronger the tug on your eyes"
can produce some very interesting results.
SpiralMan77, from the hypnosisisoutthere Yahoo! group, had some good success with this with his subject, Veronica. Photos there may give you a clearer idea of what
I'm trying to express in this post. I would love to see some situations like this with some of your subjects in the future, if the opportunity presents itself. In
any event, thanks for all your efforts and keep up the great work!
Say, whats the deal with Trish's set? is it done? she still has on.
And why can't you have a Tina and Carrie twosome? you can hypnotize them seperatly so they don't know their going to have a twosome, or how about a Tina, Carrie,
and Kathy threesome?
Heh, easy there tiger. Why don't you take a deep breath and slow down...
I know that the whole erotic hypnosis thing is exciting, and that you're hungry for more knowlege, but there's always a few extra moments to re-read what you typed
and make a few corrections so that it's readable. I don't mind answering your questions, but I really must insist that you read over at least one time what you've
written. That's why I programed the bulletin board software the way it is, so that you see what you're about to post at least once, before you can actually post
it. (I know that having me criticize anyone on spelling is like having the pot call the kettle black, but that's just how it goes...)
Having the two women put on each other's clothes is a nice idea. I'll use it in a future session. If they're both in a deep trance, the results might be quite
amusing.
Giving two hypnotized women the suggestion to suck on each other's breasts also sounds like fun. I'll keep that in mind as well.
How long does it take to hypnotize a woman. That really depends on the circumstances. Under one set of circumstances it can take as long as it takes to speak
seven words and to make a hand gesture. Under different sets of circumstances it could take considerably longer. How long does it take to have a lady who is
hypnotized follow a suggestion to masturbate on command? That's another question that answers the same way the first one does.
As far as instructions go, there's not really any meaningful instructions that I could give you to go about it directly. What I'll tell you is look in to yourself
first. Do you think a woman would let you hypnotize her? Why or Why not. Work on improving your why's and reducing your why nots. Then go to the library and
start reading.
Hey' how about have two wemon put on eachothers clothes?
or suck each others breasts? And how long dose it take o hynotize a woman to mustrabate on your command?
got any instructions?
Wow "Amy," you spell like "Max," have the same IP address as "Max," and posted within a minute of "Max's"
post.
So, I'm guessing that it's not legit. However, it was amusing, so I let it through moderation.
Yes, at the end of the segment where I was working with Kathy and Carla, I gave them both a post hypnotic suggestion to forget. In all likelyhood I would imagine
that it took very well with Kathy, and that the experience was a nice big fluffy comfy and relaxed blurr. I would flip a coin to see if it took with Karla.
However, they still know that they were doing something that night, and that it was with each other. You see, with events, there's two types of memory (at least).
One is specifics. I rember this exactly, because I remember it. Then there's a reasoning type of memory that says, I remember going somewhere to do something. I
remember leaving and I remember feeling that I was done. I don't remember anything unusual or unexpected happening, so it must have happened.
A good example of the second type of "remembering" is when you drive to work or whatever, and you remember getting in the car, and you remember getting to work, but
you don't really remember anything in between. You KNOW that you must have driven there, but the specifics are blurry.
Hey, I was wondering if you can remove posthypnotic sudgestions, my boyfrend hypnotized me to strip, orgazem,
mustrabate, have sex with him and have sex with my friend (who he hypnotized) He said e put me under so deep that he made me and my friend tina his slaves. can you
deprogram us?
I like liking tina's pussy!! ( I was told to say that) help!!!!!!!!! he's controlin me!!!!!
If you're an American, and you want to support my work, please register to vote and kick these people out of office.
You may not want to listen to me tell you how to vote, but would you prefer to have this guy in charge of the Justice Department, and telling you what you can or
can't view with the force of law?
"Ashcroft, a religious man who does not drink alcohol or caffeine, smoke, gamble or dance, and has fought unrelenting criticism that he has trod roughshod on civil
liberties in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, is taking on the porn industry at a time when many experts say Americans are wary about government intrusion into
their lives."
Additionally, I would normally say that exercising my rights of free speech in such a manner has just made me a target, but according to that article, I'm already a
target for exercising my free speech rights.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a Tina and Carrie twosome. I won't go in to my reasons. However, we are exploring options for more twosomes, and something big with
lots of girls coming relatively soon. (In my universe, relatively soon means at least a few months minimum).
Yes, I've left posthypnotic suggestions in a hypnotic subject.
I'll keep your suggestion for a feeling associated with the ringing of a bell.
Kathy and Carla know that they did the twosome. They both have boyfriends, but they're in to each other too.
A little bit of hypnosis went a long way. Picts can be found at this site. Videos of the set can be found at this site. As
far as what suggestions I gave to her at the end of the session, off the top of my head, I don't recall.
Does anyone know of any stage hypnosis shows in the near future in New York City? Any information or links
would be greatly appreciated. E-mail me at Rasteira9@hotmail.com
I found this on the new MC Forum Message Board.
Some of you may have noticed that the EMCSA has been down. Since it's a part of the larger ASSTR.org, here's the reason why...
ASSTR.org is having difficulties with a firewall. Read this post for more
information.
I've posted an interview that I did for a french book
earlier this year. Now that the book is finished, I'm making the interview available to anyone who is curious about finding out more about who I am, and what I do,
and what makes me tick. Information on how to get the book will be made available when I get it. It's currently scheduled for an Autum release, and will be
printed in french. :-)
I've managed to find a few minutes to sit down and hack out some php. The HypnoGames, HypnosisFetish, and
OnlineHypno email us forms now work much better. No more popping up an e-mail client window, and I finally got rid of the evil, evil, evil formmail script. Mostly
this is a backend upgrade, but some of you out there will appreciate it. The scripts also read back the message that you sent, so that you can feel confident that
it got off okay.
Well Bill, if you liked the chicken clucking, we've got a clip you're going to love. Gothic Heather is a
politically minded individual. She used to live locally to us, but now she's out of town (which is why it's taken so long to schedule a second session). The
reason why I mention this is because on the way to the studio from the airport, she talked my ear off about politics. :-)
So, I suggested that she would cluck like a chicken, and then asked her about her political views (which I already knew were quite strong). It was pretty funny.
Then I suggested that she had the opposite views, and would bark like a dog while she explained them.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. We also did some BDSM oriented stuff (because she's in to that). We did a little bit of the steroetypical stuff animal gag
stuff. A bunch of other things, it was a really good shoot.
I fixed the problem with the Maryanne Clip. Additionally, there's a few more clips from Carrie. I'm in the
middle of a move, and DSL doesn't get installed until Friday, so my access to the net is limited to brief periods to pop my e-mail.
Just to keep you all posted, I just got done doing a shoot with Gothic Heather. Since we've worked with her
before, we were able to do a lot of stuff that we aren't normally able to do. Her footage will be airing in April, and will start in late March when Maryanne is
finished.
Additionally, and I can't make any promises, because we haven't done it yet, but we're hoping to some hypno with some smoking hypnosis at the local hookah bar. For
those not in the know, we're referring to the mediteranian restaurant that we like to go to that has the shisha, the flavored tobacco that's popular in the middle
east.
Things have been absolutely wild over the last 24 hours. Yesterday an unanticipated event occured, and a
chance encounter turned in to a dream come true. I've posted chat transcripts that I made to friends while
events were unfolding. I figured it would be the cutest way to tell the story.
Also, because everyone has been demanding that I bring back Gothic Heather, I flew her back in to
town. She's here in my studio right now, and we're getting ready to do some amazing erotic hypnosis.

Hi. I have finally worked up the courage to send out a message. I have been reading and enjoying story sites
like the erotic mind control archives. I find the MD very compelling. I do not have much to offer now but I think I would enjoy corresponding with those who share
my interest.
Dr. Naughty's Website appears to be offline right now.
No further information is available at this time, however, I speculate that they're just chaning hosting providers or something.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. Naughty, it's a stage hypnotism act based in Las Vegas. They have a lot of show pictures there.
We have a strict "no spam" policy on HypnoFocus.com. However, there are two exceptions to this policy. First,
anything that I'm working on, I'm going to post, because let's face it, this is my website. :-) Second, from time to time I'll help spread the word about what
other reputable members of the Online Erotic Hypnosis Community are doing. The following is a good example of exception #2.
Entrancement Video has been around for several years now, has an excellent reputation, and puts out good product.
They've recently released two new videos. I heard about this and asked them for their press release information, and here is what they sent me. Please keep in
mind, these are their words, and I haven't seen the videos for myself, so I can't comment on their content. However, I have seen a fair amount of their work in the
past, and it's pretty good.
Entrancement Video proudly announced the release of two new videos: Sabrina Entranced and Hypno-Torture. Like all of our videos, these feature real hypnosis with a
real lady. Sabrina was a reporter who wanted to learn more about hypnosis. She got quite a bit more than she bargained for. Hypno-Torture features Sabrina in BDSM
mode. This is a great video for fans of BDSM and hypnosis. Both are available for $30 each or $50 for both at www.entrancementvideo.com
One of the most interesting observations my friend has made is that she now feels she totally 'gets' what a
male orgasm must feel like. I gather that the hypnotist concentrated her mind on thoughts of physical release, the sudden relieving of pressure, that sort of
thing.
Without wanting to get too much into the gory details, but I guess the biggest difference between a male & female orgasm is that the male experiences a tangible
form of seperation, that part of his body is released or emitted, and that these sensations are concentrated at one very focal point of the body. It is these
sensations that my friend reported experiencing for the first time that night.
Apparently one or two of his other suggestions that night were a little cruder. For her last orgasm he had her believe that she had accidently showered the audience
with her own release, and made her start profoundly apologising to people in the front row one-by-one. This supposedly raised the biggest laugh of the night
however!
Exile, have you ever considered incorporating a gender swap fantasy into one of your features?
Yes, I have given it some thought. There are numerous examples in the literature and in personal accounts given by people who have seen it happen. Additionally, I
spend a lot of time considering gender issues, and wondering what individuals would have been like had things worked out slightly differently. My photographer as
well likes to examine those issues, and frequently likes to take pictures of women in the men's room and things like that. ( See some of my photographer's other work here )
A couple of years ago a female friend of mine, whilst travelling in Australia, attended a Hypnosis show during the course of which she ended up onstage. The
hypnotist suggested a belief in her that she was in fact a male, and eventually counted her down to orgasm several times. To this day she still maintains that it
was the most intense sexual experience she has ever encountered!
Right on, that's a cool story. I bet it must have been fun to listen to her talk about it.
It'd be interesting to see your take on this?
The social hacker in me would probably reason along the following lines. The most important organ used in female sexuality is the brain (The mind if you will, but
the distinction between the two is a long discussion, involving blood hormone levels, central nervous systems, etc.). So, the more the mind can be stimulated, the
more intense the experience can be. Also, human beings react differently to novel experiences than they do to ordinary experiences. Being sexually excited and
suggested to orgasm as a man, while in a state of heightened suggestibility would definitely qualify as novel (for most women). Additionally, being in a hypnotic
trance creates suspension of disbelief, making it easier to accept the impossible as possible. Then there's the potential exhibitionist rush of experiencing this
on the stage in front of people. All of these factors combined, plus who knows how many others, would definitely lead to a mind blowing orgasm. Good for her!
Of course, this goes out a little on a limb, but one might wonder how fundamentally different male and female brains are. Does hypnosis activate unused gender
specific parts of our brain?
As usual, asking a question about hypnotism leads to more questions. :-) This is natural, of course, owing to the current developing state of psycology as a
science.
...and yes, it does sound like a fun thing to explore in one of my future sessions!

Let me know if you ever make it to Texas. My wife and I have been experimenting with hypnosis for about 2
years now. You have probably seen her post messages about her trance experiences on various yahoo groups. Her yahoo handle is barefoothippychick2003.
We play some with erotic hypnosis, but she primarily enjoys the trance state and going as deep as possible. She responds very well to different inductions (as long
as they don't involve a watch) and most deepeners/convincers. I am her primary hypnotist, but has proven to be an excellent subject for others. If you are
familiar with her posts, you know that she went to a hypnosis show last year and had no intention of going on stage. However, she was the first to go under and was
placed in a light trance by the first test (clasped hands). She had a great time on stage and became much more willing to try different things after that day.
Keep up the great work....I enjoy watching your clips and have learned quite a few tips and tricks from your various sessions. Well done!
One of the most amazing and powerful effects of mass hypnosis in modern times, is the propagation of the idea
that your vote doesn't count, so don't do it, creating voter apathy over the general public. Then when you look at some of the more fringe minority groups, such as
the religious fundamentalists (i.e. people who wouldn't like this site to exist, want science out of our schools and replaced with religious theory, and want to
make contraceptives and a woman's right to choose illegal), they are frequently provided with the opposite message, that their votes count for everything, so go out
and cast them.
This next part is for all my fellow americans out there:
I live in Arizona, and I was proud to go out and vote today. I don't view it as a privilege, but as a social duty. [ Picture Here ]
If you are registered to vote, please make sure to vote not just in the one big election, but in all the local elections as well. If you don't think that your vote
makes a difference, please think again. It does. I've witnessed elections that have been decided over a handful of votes.
So, here I am, as a minor celebrity, encouraging everyone to participate in our country's legal system, while we still can.
If you need help registering to vote, please let me know what city and state you live in and send me an e-mail, and I'll research it for you. Generally it's very
quick and easy, but it makes a world a difference.
I'm seeing if there's any interest in the Southwest United States for some public demonstrations of my hypnosis style.
Currently, if there's anyone in New Mexico or Texas, who thinks there might be interest local to where they are, please either reply to this post, or e-mail me.
I intentionally left out Arizona, because I live here. If you're interested, and live in AZ, then you should always never hesitate to post or e-mail me! :-)
Rock on Jeremy! Posts like that make a real joy to check the site.
Lilly was something else. One of my favorite things about that session, aside from the obvious stuff, was how she would repeat as her own ideas when she thought
that we hadn't started yet, the things that we had discussed in the real beginning. For example, a three or four minute discussion about the television show that
she had seen, turned in to a 20 second instant response, complete with the new information that was added over the course of the original discussion. That, by it's
self, was very powerful stuff.
Generally when I prepare for a session, I've got a lot on my mind.
Historically, there have been logistics, such as where we are filming, what are we doing with the cameras, does everything got tape, what are the lights doing, who
is going to be behind the cameras, etc. For the longest time this occupied most of my thoughts before a shoot. Fortunately things have settled down a great deal
on that front. I won't go into great detail on those aspects (unless people are curious). The next thing was making sure that the lady arrived on time at the
right place, and was properly dressed. Gradually most of that now takes place without my direct involvement, which really helps because I can keep myself
mysterious for as long as possible. As you all know, I have sort of a down to earth nature, and sometimes that can work against the Mysterious Stage Hypnotist
Image.
So now that brings us to the present, what do I do now when I prepare for a session? Most of the time I've got a general idea of who is on deck, over the course of
days or weeks. As I have mentioned elsewhere, we do extensive screening of potetntial subjects, in the interest of making sure that we have the best possible
candidates. We aim to be as responsible in our production as possible, and are greatly concerned with the humanity of all involved. In many ways what we do is
very different from what people think of as being typical of the adult industry. What this means, is that generally my staff and I have a rough idea of the outward
nature of who we're working with.
So, when we're making preparations for the session, I've got this in mind, and usually have a few days to start to collect my thoughts and get in to the mindset.
On the day of the shoot, I'll spend four or five hours going through the emails from my viewers that I've kept for future review. I drink a lot of tea, and I just
try to get all this stuff on the edge of my awareness, where it should pop back up later when and if the time is right.
Generally while I'm doing a session, I've got all my thoughts and senses tuned in to the subject. In many ways I hypnotize myself while I hypnotize her. The ideas
for what we do are generally semi conscious and just occur naturally. Of course, if I want to do new stuff, I will often break myself out of the empathic mind
frame, and focus more on what I'm doing. If you watch the sessions with this in mind you can probably see this for yourself.
Right now, for example, I've got a nice cup of hot pepermint tea, and a few files of ideas open in front of me. As you might have guessed, I'm preparing for
another Erotic Hypnosis session. I'll let you all know how it went after it's over.
But, to answer your question directly, no I don't have any specific plans in mind. I do have general ideas, however, and you are right, the more receptive they are
to suggestion, the greater my range to work with them.
What I do is different from stage hypnosis. Generally in stage hypnosis, you have a large number of subjects, that you reduce for suitability to a set number of
suggestions. In what I do, I have a large number of suggestions, that I reduce for suitability to a specific subject. Then, of course, I pay tribute to my love of
random chance when I use their own words and ideas as inspiration for a suggestion. You can see it in my videos when they say something, and I get a sort of "Ah
Ha!" look, and jump in to something new.
In regards to Lilly's eye movements, I still don't want to come out and say it. Don't blame me, blame Milton Erickson, I've been reading one of his books lately
and the idea of not giving the full explanation all the time is infectious. I say that with a touch of humor, just in case it doesn't make it through the message
text. Let me give you another hint, it has something to do with the process of remembering as it's related to NLP. Let's just say that it could be an external
indicator of a number of things going on inside her mind. Another question, can you ever relate to that gesture? How did you feel, what were you thinking at the
time, if you can?
Thanks again Jeremy for the encouragement, messages like yours really get me excited and jazzed up to do the best possible job I can for you and everyone else out
there who enjoy my work!
Wow, Lilly was an amazing subject! I haven't seen someone go under so deeply since the days of Hypnofun (now I'm dating myself). Thanks for sharing her with us,
she was nearly as much fun to watch as she must have been for you to hypnotize.
I'm curious, when you bring a subject in for filming, do you have different plans for what to do depending on the hypnotizability of your subject? It seems like
you have a much wider range of suggestions available to you for someone like Lilly, for example, than your average subject.
One other thing: you promised to tell us how Lilly looking straight up while trying to think of an "important historical figure" (clip 23) was indicative of
something else going on. Don't keep us in suspense, man, what does it mean?
From time to time I get interview requests because of the Erotic Hypnosis websites that I run.
Anyways the most recent request was from a French writer. Evidently I will be featured in a book called "Le Sexe Bizarre," to be published in Paris in Autumn of
2004 with a run of 2,500 copies in black and white.
I just thought I'd keep you all posted, and yes, because I know that someone will ask, I did offer to hypnotize the author, but it was impossible to work it in to
our schedules. :-)
I'll probably post the full text of the interview later this year after the book has had a chance to be on the shelves for a while.
I have posted a story that I've been working on here.
It's a fictional story called Japanese Mind Control Device.
Synopsis: Jim brings back a device from Japan that allows him complete control, so he invites two maried couples over to his home for a party.
There are other stories that I've written that are linked to from that page. If anyone has any constructive criticism, feel free to post publicly, or reply
privately. Let me know if anyone reads these things :-)
I have finally gotten the HypnoGames.com Webmasters Affiliate
Program set up again. I held off for a while because the last year has been very challenging in the area of third party processors. However, I've been with
CCBill for a while now, and they are stable. I've put my trust in them, and so have re-established the program.
It's a 50-50 sharing program, so if you run a erotic hypnosis site, you might as well join and make a few bucks.
I think you're right about context, Exile. But there's a third element that I think plays into the
effectiveness of a suggestion: Method. This, in part, is what the study you mentioned was talking about.
If I have a subject under for, say, smoking cessation, I *could* just tell him "You won't smoke any more cigarettes." But I can tell you from experience that, while
this suggestion may last a few days, it will inevitably fail.
However, I have had a subject under with whom I *associated* smoking, cigarettes and the physical act of lighting up with negative sensory input. I suggested that
each time he held a cigarette in his fingers, he would remember what a smoker's lung looked like, that each time a cigarette touched his lips, he would taste a
foul, bitter taste in his mouth... that each time he felt the craving for a smoke, he would instead decide to drink a glass of water, or chew a piece of gum.
These associative suggestions are *much* more effective. Why? Because they utilize the hypnotist's most powerful tool: Imagination. Using the subject's own
imagination to elicit desired behavior. In the world of imagination, anything is possible... people can fly, flowers can talk, birds sing showtunes.... you've
likely seen this in action with your local stage hypnotist. But this is no parlor trick: it works for LOTS of things.
By conjuring up sensory memories in the subject's mind, and associating those memories with actions or experiences in the subject's daily life, the hypnotist can
very effectively alter the subject's behavior.
This translates into a bonanza of effectiveness for post-hypnotic suggestions. It also eases the subject's volitional refusal to some suggestions. By softening the
approach you take with sensory imagery and the subject's own imagination, the hypnotist can overcome many of the barriers the subject may, even unknowingly, have to
effective suggestions.
I know what you're thinkng: what does this have to do with getting a subject naked. ;)
Well, if you outright tell a subject to take her clothes off, she might very well refuse. However, if you put your subject in her own backyard, with a high wooden
fence all around, so no one can see, and then you suggest that it's a warm, beautiful summer day, and she'd really feel wonderful if she were to lay out and work on
her tan... the situational aspect *can* overcome the reluctance she would naturally show to taking off her clothes in a room with her hypnotist. Her imagination is
the key! And your imagination can be tyhe difference between reluctance, and acceptance in your subject.
So, you see, sensory input, which is much more easliy controlled through suggestion under hypnosis, is a much more effective means of achieveing your goals than
outright commands. Now, having said this, think about your own experiences and sessions with this principle in mind.

Comments? Questions? Recipes?
As I try to absorb the experience that has been Amsterdam for these past couple of weeks, I turn my attention
back to my responsibilities, and read through some of the messages that I've slightly ignored.
In message number 460, Sven asked about post-hypnotic suggestions. Specifically how long, on average, a post-hypnotic suggestion lasts. The example he gave was of
a one time suggestion of a fairly deeply hypnotized subject, without follow-up reinforcement.
That's an interesting question, and like most interesting questions has a whole lot of answers.
Consider this example, a subject in a receptive state in a hypnotic trance that responds well to an open ended post hypnotic suggestion. If that subject accepts
the suggestion, and then has no memory of the trance, and there's nothing to conflict or contradict it, then it is likely that this suggestion will basically affect
their thoughts desires and beliefs, and in essence change the subject permanently. Over time, the suggestion becomes adopted as natural behavior.
On the other hand, one must also consider context. In the role of being the center of attention for a stage show as another example, a subject may obey each and
every suggestion in that context, and then not respond at all the moment that they have exited the context. Or, perhaps they will respond just as strongly, despite
their desire to not respond out of context because of their belief in hypnosis.
The thing that makes hypnotism exciting is the notion that while there are commonalities, it is still very specific to the individual, and as such it's always
interesting and surprising.
On a side note, I read about a study where it was determined that a specific time length suggestion tended to be more "powerful" than an unspecified time length
open suggestion. However, I don't accept the current state of academic research on hypnosis to be the end all and be all of authority at this time. Having said
that, it's still interesting to explore this phenomenon and see if it holds true in a heuristic sense, even if I don't personally believe that it's possible to do
it properly in a falsifiable way at this point in time.
Thanks Joe, I've been at internet cafes, and most of them have user policies against erotic sites. Anyways, I
took a look at it, and fixed the image issues with the Tina set so there we go :-)
I'm uploading the new content now, as a friend has given me un restricted access. It will be available tomorrow most likely.
I read some of your post Sven. Thanks man, from what I read you totally get it. I'll write a longer reply offline. Also I haven't forgotten my promise to finish
the other post. That will follow soon as well.
I'm in Amsterdam right now. And new years was incredibly, I'll repost a message that I sent to my private friends e-mail list here to talk about it. It's been a
rocking few days, and as a result I've slacked off a little bit, but don't worry, there will be a clip for every day since the 31st posted and made available on my
sites. Also, an update for OnlineHypno.com is being worked on right now.
I'd like to thank everyone for their patience while I've been on holiday and busy community building in Europe. It's been a great experience and it's been very
helpful in giving me ideas for my work for the next year. You can expect some pretty great stuff in 2004!
Thanks to Exile for his in-depth and extremely honest (and introspective) post. I think we should all applaud
him for this one... not only does he provide this forum, but this latest post (and his recent interview) give the most interesting take on erotic hypnosis I've come
across on the web.
I have to agree with you on a lot of this one, Exile. I think these days we hear the word "erotic" and most immediately conjure up images of XXX paysites with lots
of flash and little real content.
You make a VERY valid point about going hardcore. The second you pass by the R-rated stuff and get into the X-rated stuff, you're into a whole different world of
governmental regulation and scrutiny. Also important to note is the process of making productions. Most folks don't realize how involved even a simple production
can be! They think you just set up a camera and go... NOT SO.
I've been a professional videographer for 4 years now, and I can tell you that even a short 30-second commercial can be a logistical headache. Camera, camera
operator, lights, sound (usually multiple mics), audio operator, other crew members, location, props, wardrobe, running the wires, directing, working with the
talent, break-down, travel, editing, and the BIG job of rounding all these elements up for a production, and then getting financial backing for the entire
enterprise..... Even a simple production takes on a life of its own.
And to find subjects willing to be hypnotized, on camera.... that's a whole other consideration. But I'll tell you from experience... finding hypnotic subjects
isn't THAT hard. I can't imagine trying to find subjects who were ALSO willing to do hardcore sex acts on camera. I'm not saying it would be impossible... (Maybe
where *I* live...LOL) but certainly difficult. Usually I find that subjects don't mind going just a *little bit* racy while they're under... it adds spice to what
is already a mysterious and deeply intriguing experience. But usually, I won't try something like that right away. I'll hold off till I'm pretty sure they won't
mind, after getting to know them. Usually, I'll outright ask them about their limits before we get started. And, most importantly, I'll RESPECT those limits.
I do believe Charon asked some very important questions, ones that we've all asked ourselves at one time once we accepted this as one of our interests/fetishes. And
I think you did a very good job answering them.
We, as hypnotists and/or subjects, have a responsibility to ensure the future of this culture, and to protect hypnosis as the valuable tool it is. The last thing we
want is for the public to come down on hypnotism as a whole as some sort of Svengali-esque Mind-Control threat to the public good.
Of course, saying that, We must also recognize that eroticism and hypnosis have been growing hand-in-hand since the beginning. If I wasn't interested in Hypnosis as
a sexual act, I never would have come here, now would I?
The few times I've practiced erotic hypnosis have been extremely arousing, and rewarding. However, these have been a tiny percentage of my total sessions. I'm not a
professional... I do hyponosis at parties, for fun, usually with friends or acquaintances. I'd say my total number of subjects has not yet exceeded 50.
I have never had to advertise, or go looking for subjects. They have almost always found me.
I would imagine that Exile had to seek out subjects in the beginning of his enterprise. But now that he's established himself, I bet he gets volunteers.
So, my advice to Charon would be this: Become good at general hypnosis first. And never lose sight of the basic tennant that I've always held to... Hypnosis should
always, without exception, help people. I look at it like a doctor looks at practising medicine. Do no harm. Let that be your fixed purpose in hypnosis. And you
will find that, within that framework, there is still a LOT of room for fun, for both your subjects AND yourself.
Like Exile, I'm still pondering the whole of the answer to this one. Having put in my 2 cents worth on the hardcore and purpose issues, I'll come back to my 3-and-4
cents worth on finding subjects and a VERY interesting topic for me, personally: Volition.
Thanks for reading, sorry bout the long post, but as Exile said, this is a big and involved set of questions. ;)
Hello Charon, as promised here is my response to your message.
First, thank you again, for the complements. It's that sort of positive feedback that makes it easy to see what I'm doing right, along with the constructive
criticism that helps me to see areas for improvement.
From time to time, people ask about hardcore. I have given thought to this. However, when we cross over from the soft and gentle style that I've adopted, to the
more intense and hardcore style, a lot of things change.
Some of the positive things that would change is that my work would make a lot more sense to the traditional porn industry. It would probably be a lot easier to
market my site to a larger audience. I'd probably make a lot more money. Then, of course, there would be more action.
At the same time, though, a number of negative things also enter the picture. What I perceive to be negatives are a bit more complicated.
First, in the general population, hypnosis is still considered to be a strange, unknown, mystical thing that turns people into mindless robots. The average person
responds to the idea with either disbelief in the absence of proof (which is often quickly changed to full belief in the presence of proof), or they respond to it
with an almost medieval "burn the witch" fear mentality. This is not uncommon, it is natural for people who don't have contact with an individual or an entire
subculture with unusual properties to respond in such a manner. As a consequence of the mixture of fear, misunderstanding, and lack of any real experience in the
matter, I try to keep it as gentle, light and easygoing as possible for the material that will be viewed by the general public.
Second, right now one would be hard pressed to call my material harmful to anyone. I mean, turn on cable television in the middle of the night and you'll see more
explicit material. Turn on broadcast television in the evening and you'll see a non stop orgy of violence. Now, since I market myself as an erotic content
producer, I have a strict no minors policy for the creation or viewing, in the interest of compliance with the law and my own personal sense of responsibility to
society. However, with our (the American) government declaring "war" on everything, and our Attorney General covering up statues with towels, it is of my opinion
that one must be mindful of the political environment.
I take a lot of pride in creating material that can be (and frequently is) viewed by company of mixed genders, and even groups of people of mixed genders. In the
area of sexuality, I think this is a really cool and positive thing. If I went hardcore, this could possibly no longer be the case.
Finally, the majority of the women that I feature on the site are real women. We demonstrate the effects of hypnosis on a wide variety of personality and body
types. It is erotically oriented, and in most cases we do get nudity, as well as light erotic contact. However, it's one thing to ask a woman with an open mind if
she'd like to experience the most pleasant and relaxing experience that she's ever had in front of my camera, it's another thing entirely to ask a woman to be
hypnotized to have sex in front of a camera. For that, we would need women who do that professionally, and in that case I believe that we may lose some of the
realism of the sexual expression.
There are other reasons, but that is a pretty good list. I'm not passing judgment. I'm not saying that those who do go the hardcore route are doing anything
wrong. I personally believe in a free market and freedom of speech and expression. However, in the creation of the vision of my expression and art form, combined
with a critical look at my business model and standard operating procedures, with a healthy evaluation of the current political situation and a look at society as a
whole, and a pinch of personal experience, these are the conclusions that I've arrived at for myself. When you spend a lot of time "controlling people's minds," I
feel it's necessary to have a good sense of where you stand in terms of ethics. For most people ethics are something that they don't really give much thought to,
or even worse, it's something that's just spoon fed to them once a week. Ethics, for me, is a tool that I use everyday.
I run my business with a large dose of humanity, and only hire or partner with people or organizations that share the same vision. Not every producer in the adult
industry shares that vision. Not every producer cares about the effects of what they do on the human beings involved in the production and the human beings
involved in the consumption of the product. Most of the time it's all only about money.
I look at what I do and say that I'm living out my dream life. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to freely express this important part of my life that
I've kept secret for so long, and that many other people keep secret forever. I like that I can meet a woman, tell her about what I do, and then look her right in
the eyes theatrically and tell her that I would love to hypnotize her, and then flash a smile and bring it back down to earth and then talk about how ten years
ago, I would have died of embarrassment rather than openly admit such a thing to someone I barely know. I see my entire life as an experiment with integrating the
hypnosis and the erotic hypnosis into my daily life, and then I like to learn from it and share it with the community in general. In this sense I help to
contribute to the birth and growth of this fetish.
Wow, that was a mouthful! Like I said, sometimes simple questions can have complicated and lengthy answers. Imagine what sort of answers a complicated question
would have. If only our (the American) government thought that way...
However, to wrap up the hardcore question with some positives. I feel that it's important to remember that one of the most attractive and interesting things about
what I do is the realism, and the fact that you can see the entire process. FCC regulations prohibit the showing of full hypnosis inductions on television (that
used to happen all the time, but too many people in the viewing audience were being hypnotized as well). In my videos you get to see the whole thing. Also, unlike
a stage show in person, you can view the whole thing, over and over again, and really give it some study and some thought. Additionally, I'm available to answer
questions in addition to the observations that I post initially. Not only can people use my videos as entertainment personally, but they can use them to approach
the the issue with their partners, as well as study the technique for themselves. I've managed to amass a huge archive of over 30 hours online. I'm pretty proud
of what I've accomplished, and I know that people appreciate it. Now I'm not ruling out the hardcore or the racier stuff forever. I'm always evaluating the
situation the the possibilities available, and I'll continue to give your suggestions (and the suggestions of others) consideration in the matter.

The Carla / Kathy twosome had it's plusses and it's minuses. It was cool to be working with Kathy again. However, I've noticed that the social dynamics subtly
change when you have multiple subjects. In this case Carla's session primarily demonstrated the conflict between a bratty resistance combined with a willingness to
cooperate and have the experience, present simultaneously in a single person. It's unfortunate that one of the funniest moments happened during our dinner break,
when I made it so that Carla could only speak japanese for about 10 minutes when she started to downplay the effects of hypnosis.
In the sessions, pacing is very important. When you take breaks and start and stop and things like that, it seriously affects the momentum. That night, working
with those two particular ladies, we were out of town and in an environment that we could exhibit a lot less control over. As a result there were production level
issues that affected the pacing. The girls would get hungry and want food, the delivery took way too long, one would need to go and adjust her makeup, etc. That
sort of thing is just a fact of life in our realistic sort of documentary style of filming. Obviously, if the whole thing were scripted, you could just film it
over and over and over again, and then edit it together perfectly. When you're doing it straight through, and whatever happens happens, it works differently.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the full text of my interview with the magazine. I'm still trying to establish contact with them to secure permission to share the
article on HypnoFocus. They had a minimal amount of space, but they did a good job of covering it. However, I felt that there was a lot in that interview text and
I wanted to share it with the community. I think you've hit upon one of the central points, which is the idea that while the interest isn't as well known as BDSM,
for example, there are people out there who have it, and in that context it's normal and your not some sort of weird mutant. If you want to share your experience
publicly or privately, feel free to post or e-mail it. However, the important thing is to keep it simple and gentle. Don't expect to do spectacular things until
you're comfortable with the process. Ironically enough the bulk of it is internal in the hypnotist, before you get to the external stuff with the subject.
---
One of these days I resolve to create a resource list of recommended books. However, at this time the best advice I can offer you is to read as much as you can,
both in print and online. Also, for a sense of perspective, visit your local university library and check their stacks. Often the universities will have much
older material, and when you read a book on hypnosis that was written in the 1950's, you'll find that it's quite different from a modern book. Keep in mind that
with the Internet and the resources it contains, you have a whole lot more information (including video) than I had when I was first getting started. I would
recommend that you keep going on the path you're going, and just try to continually add to your information and experience. Remember though, go easy, people aren't
like computers but only better, they're living feeling breathing beings with thoughts, feelings and emotions. As long as you keep that in mind, you should be okay
though. It's entirely possible that you know enough but just need more confidence. Once exercise that works well is to record your voice doing the induction, then
listen to it from a subjects point of view and then listen to it from a critical point of view. In that way, it's sort of like practicing your poker face in the
mirror.

In regards to bringing up hypnosis to potential sexual partners... I'm a relatively healthy young male mammal, with a lot of hormones flowing through my body, who
thinks of sex almost constantly, so I probably view every woman I meet as a potential sexual partner. :-) That's the adolescent in me talking, of course.
When asking about whether one must have a pre-existing sexual relationship with a girl to introduce hypnosis to her, or about casual sex, I think it's important to
look at human sexuality as a whole without the aspect of hypnosis. People have sex with other people that they don't have a pre-existing sexual relationship with
all the time. Sexuality has to start somewhere.
This becomes more difficult, because this is a huge discussion topic. Think of the number of people who have sex after meeting a bar or a night club, having a few
drinks, getting horny and then going home to have sex. Think of the number of people who have sex after meeting up for a night of raving, dropping some E, and then
going home for sex. Think of the number of people that have sex the night after they get married. Think of the number of people who have sex after spending a
night or weekend of heavy petting in their dorm rooms. The examples go on and on and on.
I'm going to need to give some more on the answer to this question. I can see it in my head, but converting it from my own internal language of thoughts feelings
memories and emotions to words is going to take some time. Besides this message is getting pretty long as it is :-)

You're welcome for your thanks, and I offer mine in return, I like well thought out questions, it's that sort of thing that I created HypnoFocus. As for the
establishment of the Erotic Hypnosis Community, a lot of people are doing it in their own way, and as long as people are being exposed to it, share their thoughts
and experiences, it will occur over time. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day.
Hi Exile! Hope you're enjoying Amsterdam.
Just wanted to say "THANKS!" to your e-mail poster for their response, and also that I'm looking forward to your response to Charon's questions... I think we've all
been there, Charon.
I do have a suggestion: Watch other hypnotists, especially live stage hypnotists, or if possible, clinical hypnotists. If you have a genuine interest in hypnosis,
maybe take a psych class that deals with it, if your school has any. Delve into the hypnotic process in ways other than sexual/erotic for a while, and just soak up
the inductions, the patter, rythm, and pay attention to how the hypnotist elicits responses (both physcal and verbal/mental) from their subjects. You will find a
veritable cornucopia of ideas about the actual hypnosis itself. And in a class, you might be able to practice on the other students as part of the training.
As to the questions of approaching subjects, and all the other very interesting questions you asked, I'll leave that to the main man. ;)
Thank you very much for the compliments. When I read a post like that it really helps me to stay motivated with what I'm doing.
I'm in an internet cafe right now, and have decided to save your message offline so that I can consider it fully in the privacy of my hotel room. You can expect a
response within the next few days.
One of the visitors to HypnoFocus sent me an e-mail, with this comment that I'd like to share with the rest of
you.
In one of the 'Focus' queries someone asked how long a post-hypnotic lasts. I worked with a friend around fifteen years ago on her weight control. She is still
at her setpoint and I have done no subsequent work with her. So the answer seems to be, it depends on the person but a post-hypnotic can be effectively permanent if
ego-syntonic.
To which I say, congratulations on such a wonderful success for both you and her, and thanks for contributing your own personal experience.
My congratulations on the work you've done...I'm presently a member of hypnogames and am always eagerly awaiting the next installment.
I do wish there was more hardcore involved--between female subjects, between female subjects and guys, perhaps their bf's. What I also REALLY like, even if no
hardcore's involved, is one girl commanding the other, putting her into trance, etc.--and the reversal of control.
Anyway, that's my personal preference. I was disappointed in the Carla/Karla twosome b/c it sure seemed like there was a setup for more, but I trust you'll bring
more good stuff.
I was reading your interview with that UK magazine and it occurs to me that you've already been where I am now...that is, a horny college student desperate to use
erotic hypnosis on women. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as advanced as you were...My experience has really been minimal--one failed attempt on a friend (who I
later hooked up with anyway, but never mind that ;) ).
So I was hoping you could offer a couple suggestions. First, my knowledge about how to perform erotic hypnosis is limited to what I've seen you do as well as some
other hypnosis videos (including from hypnovideo) and a good deal of reading I've done online. But could you recommend anything to read or watch that would be a
really effective learning aid? Is it possible that I already know enough now but just need more confidence in my abilities? Any way I can practice?
Second, you must have experience with broaching this subject to potential sexual partners...Do you think one must have a pre-existing sexual relationship with a
girl to introduce hypnosis to her? Do you think it can be used as an initiator (both practically and ethically) for casual sex? And how, without freaking the girl
out? Or do you think most women find the idea of being hypnotized exciting? Perhaps there's a subtle way to gauge it?
Anyway, thanks a lot for considering these questions...I certainly appreciate everything you're doing for the erotic mind control community, and wish there were
more like you to really establish this community.
Ow, dude, you're in Amsterdam...some major league chickas in there, if you can get some of them for the site it
will be awsome...
Check out Sinners In Heaven dance club.....I'm sure you can find it if you ask around...all the hot babes go there..if you can get in in the ''restricted'' thursday
and saturday nights especially.
Congratulations on pioneering an exciting new expression of sexuality. It would be interesting if a Hypnofetish community forms, because in a way it's more of a
taboo than BDSM.
Thank you. I agree with you, depending on where you are living, BDSM isn't really all that much taboo at all. Mainly this is because of the community that has
formed.
1> How do you find your models and what are they expecting? Do you tell them that they may get naked and act sexual?
That's the most common question that people ask. All I really have to say about how I find my models is that you must understand potatos.
As far as the nudity and the erotic aspects, yes, it is made clear that the nudity and the erotica will be a feature of the session.
2> Are there models who don't work out and so you don't post them? Or are you fairly successful with everyone?
There are models that don't work out for one reason or another. Doing a hypno erotica shoot is different from any other type of shoot or session. Also, there may
be life circumstances that we don't find out about until a shoot is underway that may cause me to cancel the session. We have a screening process in place to make
sure that things like that are a rare exception. Generally things work out very well.
3> It certainly appears by the end of many of the sessions that the model would be willing to have sex with you. I assume that since you have a staff present
this probably doesn't happen with your shoots. But in general could taking "advantage" of someone in this way have negative ramifications?
I hope it appears that way, it is erotica after all :-). No, having the staff present doesn't really bother me. I'm not shy about public sex. However, I'm pretty
sure that nobody wants to see me naked. I spend more time working on my mind and my computer than working on my body. But that's not the reason why we're not
doing hard core.
The artform that I create is a much more softer and gentler style. That's a choice that I've made for a variety of reasons that I won't go in to right here. But
the important thing to remember is that I'm creating art, and performing a show. It's not about me trying to have sex with everyone I get in front of my pocket
watch.
Besides, to do otherwise would be bad for business.
How important and effective are post-hypnotic suggestions of not remembering and feeling comfortable with what took place?
I always make it a point to put in positive suggestions about the experience. As far as remembering goes, from time to time I'll use hypnotic amnesia as part of
the show, but usually I leave it up to their own interpretation and expectation as to whether or not they'll remember or not. Some do and some don't. I've always
found hypnotic amnesia to be facinating. But I never go into a shoot with the mind frame that they won't remember, so now I can do whatever I want. I mean, I am
filming it and putting it on the Internet after all.
4> Would the models feel comfortable viewing the videos on the web later? Would they be really shocked? Or are you working with women who are already fairly
comfortable with being involved in light pornography?
Some do and some don't. It's all a matter of the individual. Every one of our models do the session for different reason, so we have no stereotypes. However,
like I mentioned before, we do have a screening process. We believe in acting responsible at all level of the business from the creation of our content, to how we
handle our billing, to how we maintain our site, to how we treat our customers.
I don't mean to be so clinical in my questions, this are just some thoughts that have popped up when watching the shoots. I really appreciate your hypnotic
inductions methods, you are the most natural and authentic hypnotist I've seen. Usually hypnotists adopt a kind of shallow or closed authoritarian manner but you
maintain a very lively and personal demeanor.
That's okay, clinical is fine. You have specific questions and you get to the point. That makes it easy to respond. I probably could have wrote a response that
was 4 times as long as this one (who knows, maybe I will at a later time), but right now I'm in a coffee shop in Amsterdam, so I'm a little distracted by my
environment. I'm glad that you enjoy my work, I enjoy making it, and I feel very lucky to be in the position that I am in. Mostly though I just try to keep it as
down to earth as possible. Hypnosis means a lot of things to a lot of different people. However, I try to portray it as something that can be very natural in
one's life, as it is in my own. Of course, the videos still have a lot of the symbolism and hypno-ritualism that is used to define the process, but that's only one
way that hypnosis can be expressed.
I've tried emulating your techniques and I've found they suit my personality well. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad that they work for you. Just remember, you're always working with a living, breathing human being with their own thoughts, dreams, goals and
personalities. When they make themselves available to you as subjects they are really giving the greatest gift that they can to someone who is into hypnosis. If
they feel good and enjoy it, then they will generally do whatever you want them to do (within reason) for your enjoyment. That's how I see it anyway. :-)
Hello,
Congratulations on pioneering an exciting new expression of sexuality. It would be interesting if a Hypnofetish community forms, because in a way it's more of a

I've just received notification that an e-mail interview that I did with a writer from Bizarre Magazine a while
back appeared in the December issue that was on news stands all over London last month. There was a 9 page section on various different types of kinks, and erotic
hypnosis got about a third to a half of the page. It was a cool article, and I'm currently working on getting permission to display a pdf of it on hypnofocus.com.
Anyways, the full text of my interview can be seen here. I wanted to wait until after the article came out
before posting my interview.
Thanks to Wiseguy for the advice. I think I'm going to keep this in the "Fun" realm for the time being. I've
helped some friends and acquaintances with things like smoking cessation and test anxiety, etc. but don't plan on opening up a practice or anything. I'd like to
keep my sessions very informal.
That being said, what's the board's take on this question: How long would you say, on average, a post-hypnotic suggestion lasts? We're talking about a one-time
suggestion of a fairly deeply hypnotized subject, without follow-up reinforcement. Would 1 to 2 days be about average? Or would you say it loses efficacy faster
than that? Slower?
I'm posting this because some people (with Win98/ME) couldn't install the program because of a lock-up problem. That problem has been fixed, and also the file
hypnoslave.txt has been put in the suggestions directory instead of the program main directory (oops).
So check the website for details:

If you like the program, spread the word!
Virtual Hypnotist is a free, open source hypnosis program that features user interaction and highly configurable sessions.
Depends on how you define terms. In general, a "lay hypnotist" is a hypnotist/hypnotherapist who does not have
an advanced degree in medicine, psychology, or some other healthcare-related discipline. So unless you have an MD, PhD, etc. to go with it, the shrinks and
physicians and licensed social workers will still call you a lay hypnotist.
I'd say if you're just doing it for fun and have already been fully trained, either in classes or by experience, you really don't have anything to gain by
certification. If you want to start doing therapy, that's another story.
The Virtual Hypnotist project has begun, and is a complete rewrite of the Hypnotizer 2000 software. It is completely interactive, and will soon feature speech
recognition. It's also completely free, and comes with all source code (written in Visual Basic 6). More info is located on it's website.
Any thoughts on the issue of being a "Certified" hypnotherapist vs. being a "Lay" Hypnotist? (No Pun
Intended... really....) and how does it affect your credibility with subjects?
I've been an "amateur" hypnotist for years... parties and such.... just wondering if I should get my certification before attempting to get anything like serious
with this hobby of mine. I'm cosidering offering my services for free.... Thoughts?

Before doing one of my sessions with Beth, we were sitting on the Futon in my room chatting while we waiting for my assistant to get back. As the conversation
turned towards hypnosis, I decided to run the camera. Basically it's about 8 minutes of an informal discussion about the first Beth series, and a little bit about
her as a person, and stuff like that.
While reading my e-mail tonight, I came across a letter asking for advice about what to do when you encounter a
subject that has preconceived notions about their hypnotizability as a result of a hypnosis stage show.
The mailing list was Brian's "HypnosisTechniqueExchange" group, which can be found on Yahoo! Groups. Definately a worthwhile list to be on, with lots of
intelligent discussion.
---
Have no fear. I did a session last night with a subject for my websites (hypnogames.com , hypnosisfetish.com, and onlinehypno.com) where I encountered something
like this.
Basically she and her boyfriend went to the state fair and saw a stage hypnosis show. She stayed in the audience, while her boyfriend went up on stage. While in
the audience, she thought it must be real because she saw people acting very different then they appeared. However, when her boyfriend got off the stage, he told
her that it didn't work and he just played along because he felt bad for him.
I explained to her that this is a very common response, and in half of the people it's because it didn't work for them at that time. I then continued with telling
her that in the other half, it does work like a charm and that they rationalize it by explaining their weird behavior as feeling bad for the hypnotist.
It's important to establish a rapport at this point where the subject is listening to you and accepting you as an authority. Look for head nods, little smiles, and
various other clues that they are being receptive.
At this point, move away from the specific example and become more general.
I told her that the way that a stage show goes about creating trance is different from a private and intimate session. In a stage show, it's a numbers game. You
take an audience of a hundred or so people. Cast a net around 20 or so candidates, go through suggestibility exercises, and eventually sort down to about 5 highly
suggestible subjects to put on an "Amazing!" show. (Your actual numbers may vary).
Now, comes the crucial point, where you form a cognitive break between the subjects previous experience and beliefs, as opposed to his' or her's new beliefs and
pending experience.
I continued by telling her that the type of hypnosis that we would be doing, a very different type of hypnosis, would be an interactive series of relaxation and
suggestibility exercises. Instead of playing a numbers game with a cast of thousands, we would be engaging in an intimate and interactive exercise where I would be
closely gauging her response and adjusting the process to her needs. Creating something personal and special, just for her.
At this point, her eyes should be practically glazed over, as she's pretty much anticipated what is about to happen. She should be nodding in agreement, or showing
other signs in her body
language that she is accepting what you're saying and ready to go.
To summarize:
Explore the previous experience ->
Distill the beliefs from the experience ->
Separate the previous experience from the pending experience ->
Challenge the beliefs from the previous experience based upon the acceptance of the idea that the two experiences will be fundamentally different ->
Use this process as a pre-induction

This is just one path that has worked for me in the past. Perhaps it will work for your situation, perhaps it wont. But remember, before you can instill
confidence in your subject, it is helpful to instill confidence in yourself. 90 percent of all communication is non verbal. You could be repeating the word
watermelon over and over again, and still pull off a trance as long as that 90 percent is saying what you want it to.

I received this question in my e-mail this morning:
...(I) want to applaud you for your outstanding work. Question for you - have you ever used an instant induction technique? Would that have worked for Carla the
first time?
The answer ended up being so interesting that I decided to post it here:
...I'm glad that you enjoy my work.
I do use instant induction techniques. It's my opinion that there are two points of view that one can use when considering whether or not it would be useful on a
subject.
The first point of view is that there's "something" neurological or chemical that occurs in the process - therefore it's physiological and thus is a mechanism that
works across the board given that certain physiological factors hold true, or at least holds true in a statistically significantly large portion of the general
population.
The second point of view is that there's "something" psychological that occurs in the process - and this process can either be a general effect that occurs
regardless of the individuality of the individual, or it's an effect that relies upon a specific feature of the individual's psychology.
Put more simply, this could be a question of: does instant induction techniques work because of nature or nurture?
... and "The Answer" in this case is pretty much the same as it usually is to that question: sort of both, it depends...
In Carla's case, there were numerous indicators indicating a high degree of suggestibility. At the same time, during the
interview we found numerous indicators indicating a "bratty" temperment, as well as a history of reinforcement of the idea that hypnosis doesn't work on her.
(Although, I did consider the possibility that those instances may have been quite successful, and she had in fact been hypnotized, possibly repeatedly, and then
received the suggestion that she would say or believe that it didn't work).
Carla ended up getting what I call "the kitchen sink" induction, where I pretty much used every technique I could think of, at the same time, to the end result of a
confusion induction. Ironically enough, when we symbolically entered "The Trance" there was one last declaration that it wasn't going to work, that I countered
with a firm and authoritarian "Sleep!" command, at which point she folded into my arms. So once could say that I did use an instant induction technique as part of
the kitchen sink.
Instant inductions interesting techniques that require balls the size of grapefruits to properly wield, you can't have any hesitation or doubt in your voice, body
language or in the pre-trance preparation. And if it doesn't work out as expected, you have to be quick on your feet to try something different without anyone
noticing that things didn't work out the way that you were expecting.
I know that there's a few of you out there that have been having trouble subscribing through CC-bill.
Unfortunately, there's nothing that I can do about how CC-bill approves or disapproves of transactions.
Also, some have asked if I could possibly make an exception and accept a payment via paypal. Unfortunately PayPal cancelled my account. I'm still fighting through
their procedures to get about half a grand of my money back (They mailed me a check, made out to the wrong name, and haven't been quick about fixing their
mistake).
So please bear in mind that I'm sympathetic to any new difficulties that have arrised through the third party processor switch.
Now why do I bring this up now?
Well, I'm getting ready to undertake a new adventure, and because of this, I'm going to be needing some provisions. This opens up the door to some trading
opportunities.
Right now, I'm in need to two sets of Apple "World Travel Adapter Kits" (I'd provide a direct link, but the apple store does some strange stuff). You can order it
online through The Apple Store or you can go into one locally (or any other computer store that carries Apple stuff) and pay
cash.
Anyone who does this, and gets this equipment into my hands, will receive three months of access to their choice of HypnoGames.com or HypnosisFetish.com. Since
this item goes for 39.95, plus shipping and handling, it's a real good deal.
Please e-mail me before doing so, I don't need 10 :-)
Well, I'm sure that everyone has their favorite moments. I've always been pretty fond of Clover. She was a
real blast. Her enthusiasm was pretty intense.
I'd just like to put in a vote on the age issue. Personally, age does not matter. What matters is how
attractive I find the subject(s). In Real Life, the women I find attractive range in age from (embarrassingly) one teenage friend of my daughter's to a former
co-worker who's in her early 50s. For obvious reasons, we must avoid people who aren't legally adult at all costs. Other than that, and the fact that few women
(or men, for that matter, but the models here are women) retain their attractiveness beyond their 40s or 50s, I don't think there should be an upper limit. I
actually found Flirticia more attractive than quite a few of the college-girl types in many of the other sets. (I never complained about these women being too
round or too skinny or whatever, either.) Variety can be spicy. Please don't turn down a potential model because she's "too old". If she's pretty, give her a
shot. BTW, on the subject of variety: other racial backgrounds would be appreciated as well.
You asked, "What would you say specifically that you liked the most about the Flirticia series?"
Well, I like the fact that she had the look on her face that she was overwhelmed with your control. You did alot of work while she was awake and she looked totaly
surprised by it, but following everything you said without a thought.
Clip 18 and 23 I think best showed what I mean the best (23 the best). She is awake and listening to you like any normal person would, but then you have her stare
into your eyes and completely control her while she is awake and she has a look of amazement.
Take a look at these clips and see if you can tell what I'm talking about. I just can't recall seeing anything that showed your power over someone like that
before.
I have to admit, I knew about the movie before it was in the theaters. Then for one reason or another I didn't get around to seeing it in the main theaters. Then
it was in the dollar theaters, and once again for one reason or another I didn't see it there either. Then in the video store there was an entire wall of them
available after it was just released. Then there were just one or two copies sitting around indefinately. Yet, I still passed it up.
Mostly, I guess it was the idea that it probably wasn't going to be what I could imagine it could be. Maybe it was the idea that I would watch it and be sort of
embarrased.
Well, thanks to the magic of HBO, I finally actually sat through the entire thing from beginning to end. ... and it wasn't that bad.
The thing that made it all work was Helen Hunt. She was a total hottie, and she made those dressed look good.
Other than that the hypnosis seemed to be a bit incidental.
I ended up finding the movie more interesting from an aspiring filmmaker's point of view. The sort of glow effect to give the piece a period feel. The dead on
period costumes. That sort of thing.
So, all in all, I'm neither reccomending it, nor am I discouraging anyone from watching it. Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the matter.
In Message #427, "me" said:
"Well that's too bad.. I thought Flirticia was a great series, but as you said others are looking for a different type. ... If others are putting in their vote
then I will also, I would like to see more women with bigger breasts and less of the "just 18" types. I am not the type that likes the "just 18" type women, I
would like to see more realistic women used on your site. Seems the guys on here like college women subjects only and that is fine, but there are other types of
subjects out there and if we are interested in Hypnosis then it should be ok to try other subjects out and not just focus on one type. But maybe that is not what
the people want here."
Our official policy is that we cater to a wide variety of tastes, interests, personality and body types. We've done a number of "Just 18 Types," as you put it.
We've also done mid 20's. There have been the occasional mature subjects, and a sprinkling of women in between.
There's a number of factors that go into how a lady ends up being hypnotized for our sites. Random chance plays a large part. While we'll ocassionally say
something like, it's time for a woman with bigger tits, or it's time to do a redhead, those are just sort of general musings on my part that I relay to my staff.
For some, it's really about having 2 or more [in such cases - much more, don't think I've forgotten :-) ] cute subjects, for others the nudity isn't really even
their thing, it's just about the hypnotic process. Others are just hoping to see some bare feet.
We do our best to meet everyone's needs while at the same time holding true to our style and procedures. Everyone's opinions are always welcome, just as long as
they're presented in a positive way.
I dunno, if people would like to see more hypnotized 30-40 year olds, I'm cool with that, older women feel totally different psychologically than younger women, and
to be honest there's a certain power dynamic involved there that's adds something beyond just the physical appearance of the subject.
However, currently, the general consensus seems to be that people like the college aged cuties the best.
What would you say specifically that you liked the most about the Flirticia series?
Well that's too bad.. I thought Flirticia was a great series, but as you said others are looking for a
different type.
If others are putting in their vote then I will also, I would like to see more women with bigger breasts and less of the "just 18" types. I am not the type that
likes the "just 18" type women, I would like to see more realistic women used on your site. Seems the guys on here like college women subjects only and that is
fine, but there are other types of subjects out there and if we are interested in Hypnosis then it should be ok to try other subjects out and not just focus on one
type. But maybe that is not what the people want here.
Flirticia was definately an interesting subject. There's a definite difference in the feel of an older mind as
opposed to a younger mind. She's also has years of being a lifestyle submissive behind her, so it was really cool to work with her.
There was a mixed response to her. Some people thought it was really cool, like the idea of having an older woman completely dominated by hypnosis. Some people
didn't prefer her, and wanted to see more of the younger women. So it's unlikey that there will be any more sessions with her.

Right now OnlineHypno contains one detailed photoset at 55 images. This is of the Kathy and Carla twosome that hasn't been viewed on HypnoGames or HypnosisFetish
yet. The next set will go up pretty soon, it's of the Beth and Debbie twosome. I don't know how many images I have of that.
OnlineHypno doesn't give you access to Fetish-Sluts. Period. End discussion. If you want to see the pictures on Fetish-sluts, then go and sign up on
Fetish-Sluts. If you want to see OnlineHypno, then see online hypno. I'm not going to beg you for it. Sorry if it sounds gruff, but I'm a very busy man, I'm
putting in the hours, and I've got a lot of work to do to keep everyone swimming in the best online erotic hypnosis fetish material on the Internet.

"Will OnlineHypno include pictures from the Fetish-Sluts/Hypno site?"
We haven't decided yet. For the most part, probably not. We've got a lot of pictures from recent shoots, and a full time still image photographer on our staff
now. So we're trying to focus on the new stuff for that site. But then again, I try to never say never... so who knows.
We've discovered a migration issue with HypnosisFetish.com, evidently a file path didn't get changed when we
migrated a week ago, so anyone experiencing frustration with new accounts, that's why.
Expect this to be fixed by this evening, and sorry for the delay and any frustration this may have caused.
Some time ago a writer for Bizarre Magzine contacted me, regarding an article
on the Erotic Hypnosis Fetish. I just heard back from her, and it's looking like the article is going to appear in the December issue. After it comes out, I'm
going to post the full e-mail that I sent her answering her questions about the interest.
"Forgot to change the file extensions in the html file. Should work just fine for you now."
Yes, it works perfectly. Looks good.
"In the meantine, it probably makes a lot more sense for me to keep the ball rolling and to break out some of this new footage that I'm sure you're all going to
love."
Great. We're looking forward to them.
"I'm uploading the new rendering of the clip 26 400k windows media file."
The new version works perfectly . . . also, I note that the annoying white frame artifact that's been in the past few clips from the editing software isn't in this
rendering - glad to see (rather, not see) that you've got the hang of the software and have been able to eliminate that. It tends to flow much better without it,
especially when viewing clips together in a sequence. Thank you!

I was pretty happy with the style. I showed to to some people here while I was working on it, and they all thought it was pretty neat. Glad to see the positive
feedback on the web.
Brian continued to say:
"Seeing an entire session in this new style of editing might be interesting - as long as it wouldn't slow down the editing/distribution process too much. You've
done a few sessions for HypnosisFetish with multiple cameras but it might be neat to use them all for one production like that. "
We do pretty much all of our stuff with multiple cameras now. The main reason is that what we do is unique in time and throughout all the universe, and in case of
equipment failure it would all be permenantly lost. In fact, we were using a brand new microphone during the original Kathy shoot, and had we not been running two
cameras, we would have lost it all because of not having sound. Doing an entire video like that does excite me. I think I'll consider what my options are.
Brian then asked:
"Does this mean you won't finish the current set with Beth & Debbie?"
As you can see with clip 26, things get a little silly with the girls ripping off my shirt. I don't really think people want to see me that way. Although, I did
decide to keep number 26 in the series. There was a little more footage after I was able to get off set and get dressed and stuff, but it's a little more
challenging to edit that into something that is both cohesive and that I feel comfortable airing. In the meantine, it probably makes a lot more sense for me to
keep the ball rolling and to break out some of this new footage that I'm sure you're all going to love.

I'm uploading the new rendering of the clip 26 400k windows media file, but in all fairness you make it sound like the entire clip was a wash. there were 4 other
ways to view it possible. As far as the updates for the month of september, there may have been a few pauses here and there, but there was pretty much a clip
scheduled for just about every day in the month, except for a few days here and there. I think one thing that it would be helpful to remember is that the sites
have a high demand from alot of people, and I do meet the demand. There's going to be pauses here and there, but that's just the way things are. I don't have the
resources of say NBC or ABC... heck right now I'm not even CourtTV. The important thing to remember is that I do make good, and we do keep it coming. I do my best
to keep you all updated, and to provide as much information as I can to you all as quickly as I can.
We all know that you're hungry for more material. It's a given that everyone is going to want more as opposed to less. But if you phrase it in such a way that
suggest that it's skimpy, or lacking or whatever, then that's not incredibly good for business - nor do I think it's an incredibly fair assessment, considering the
sheer volume fo material that's made available. Your posts are always welcome, and you're a great asset to the community, but I would consider it a courtesy if you
would tone down that particular criticism a bit.

- Brian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
I've put up This Link that contains a video clip in all the
standard versions of Quicktime and Windows Media that I traditionally support. For this file, I recommend the Quicktime version.
In the clip, you'll find an interview that I did with Kathy. Longtime visitors to HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish will recognize her as the energetic blonde that did
the "Orgasm Parrot" and chomped into my jacket when I turned her into a billy goat with a hypnotic suggestion.
Now a year later, before a recent session, I interviewed her, and the results are in this video clip.
This video clip is special, because in it I sort of flex my Final Cut muscles in the editing process, and take a very stylistic approach to the presentation. I'm
kind of curious as to how people feel about this presentation style. I don't have any plans to present the sessions this way, but that might change based on
feedback.
Anyways, the newest session with Kathy starts to air tomorrow, and after that will be a session with her friend Carla. Then the two of them together. This
sequence pretty much lays out the roadmap for the fall.
Also, for those who remember the old fetish-slut Hypno days, and yearn for them for their erotic hypnosis needs, you might want to take a look at OnlineHypno. Essentially this is a still image site that is geared towards those that prefer pictures over streaming video, for
either cost, equipment, or reasons of personal preference. I'm in the final stages of getting it registered with CC-bill, and it should be open for business by
Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest. A still image site like this is largely made possible by the efforts of my full time still image photographer that
I've added to my staff in recent months. Also, this site will include detail descriptions as that was always a common request from the Hypnotized Fetish-Sluts
days.
That's pretty much everything I have on my mind right now for the sites.
I've decided that the coversation here as of late has been mostly about boring business stuff, and that's been
pretty much totally my fault. So now I give y'all a chance to safely voice something that I'm sure you've all experienced at one point or another.
The question is, who would you like to tell you have a hypnosisfetish to and why? Be descriptive, but at the same time general.
The idea came to me tonight while having a chat with an old lady friend of mine. She knows all about my interest now (my interest is of course world known), but
when I was a college freshman she didn't know, even though I had fantasized many times about what it would have been like to have hypnotized, and have her do
anything that I wanted.
A few of my sites are being migrated, including hypnosisfetish.com . There may be a few snafus over the next
day or so. If you see anything strange, post it here or e-mail me.

It's not so much that I started using it, it's just a strange artifact of how the files are getting generated. Because I switched over to Macintosh for all my
production, I had to buy a rather over priced piece of software called Media Cleaner for Mac. It set me back half a grand, and it's only purpose is to create
Windows Media Format files on my Mac. I'm sure it is capable of doing other things.... whatever. The white screen is a strange artifact of the process, and I'm
not sure what causes it. I'll try to figure it out... but free time isn't something that I have in abundance.... If anyone else has any familiarity with this
program, feel free to give advice.

HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish.com are both up and running, updating, and functioning as normal. I'm about an
hour and a half from leaving the office to go to a Computer Security Convention in San Diego to try and stir up some publicity for my HaXXXor DVD. If you like Beth
and Debbie (the two hot chicks on the HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish right now) then consider owning the HaXXXor DVD, and
see them explain Buffer Overflow Exploits. You'll also see Betty talking about her love of government grade crypto. If you're a computer geek, and into computer
geek humor, then this is the DVD for you.
In other positive news, Apple finally shipped out my order of DVD Studio Pro 2.0 (Clerk at the store told me I was getting the latest version, yet I was given 1.5
instead). It's real powerful stuff, and I absolutely love it. Expect the first HypnoGames - HypnosisFetish DVD to be announced very soon (probably in time for
Halloween). I'm hoping to have it subtitled into foreign languages. Right now I'm looking at French, Japanese, German and Spanish. Also it will focus on the
twosomes. The Allison - Melenia Twosome, the Beth - Debbie Twosome, the upcoming Kathy - Carla Twosome, and possibly a clip from the Goth - Punk twosome.
I'm hoping to have my physical item credit card merchant account in place by the release of the DVD as well, but it's possible that initially I might have to limit
it to mail order only because of the change in financial infrastructure that's been thrust upon me this summer.
So It's pretty likely that any e-mail sent to me this weekend will go unanswered until Monday. Don't panic, I'm just out of town.

Unfortunately, there's some matters affect the HypnosisFetish.com server equipment it's self. We have a work around in place, and have further plans to implement
early next week that should end the issue permanently. However, at this time we really can't go any further into detail about the issue. The site has been updated,

Yeah, it's been a mess. Most of it is business level difficulties caused by other companies that I unfortunately rely upon, acting incompetently or even worse,
irrationally. I'm trying to do my best to make these issues transparent to our site members, but when I'm spending 6 to 8 hours a day to handle business level
stuff, and then I get hit with a technical level problem, or fall behind on editing level scheduling... it get's busy. Right now I'm handling all these things
single handedly.
However, it's very important to remember that right now we're on a daily updating schedule, that's one new clip a day, with generallly a few days pause between
sets. That level of updating and flow of material is truly amazing if you think about it.
We're having technical problems on the machine that HypnosisFetish.com is on. They'll need to be fixed before
the update goes up. I don't have an ETA at this time. HypnoGames.com was updated yesterday, and will continue to update daily until October 1.

In message 390 you asked what the differences between HypnosisFetish.com and HypnoGames.com are. They were originally intended to be seperate content running
simeltaneously. However, the payment processor difficulties started, and the world basically went to hell. So now the purpose for having both sites is to not put
all my eggs into one basket, to lessen the impact of disasters outside my realm of control.
I recomend that people subscribe to HypnosisFetish, as it has more options for download formats, gets my primary attention, and has what I think is a better
interface. However, there are some that prefer the HypnoGames interface, and are just as happy with that.
Hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions on the matter, I would recomend reading through the HypnoFocus archives, as it chronicles the
whole process as it happened.
I would love to accept your payment through PayPal, as I was very happy with the way that worked. However PayPal has suspended my account, and frozen half a
thousand dollars worth of assets (which I may see in two weeks, six months, or never, depending on where I get my information from). I used PayPal for 3 years, did
a lot of transactions, had a rating of like 300, and then one day out of the blue they decide that they don't need my business. So I'll never do anything with
PayPal or their UberFuhurer E-Bay ever again.
CCBill is the only real option that I have right now, although I'm currently looking into other options. This has been a rough year, if you look though this
message board, you'll see why. However I'll see if I can't find other arrangements.
I have joined the HypnoFetish site, thru PayPal, as a 30 day only membership. I enjoyed the site very much and would like to continue the membership. The only
problem is that CCBILL always refuses my credit cards. Can you arrange for me to pay you thru PayPal? Thanks a lot.
In message 391 you asked two questions, so I'll answer them :-)
First, you asked if hypnosisfetish has stopped updating. There is currently a couple day pause between the first part of the set and the second part. That often
happens between tapes in multi tape sets. There's still more Beth and Debbie, and I'm sure you're all going to like it. I'm glad that you enjoy the set so far.
As far as a three or moresome, we're currently working on it. I'll start arranging the logistics today :-) Perhaps in December...
There will be additions to the Kate set. It's just a matter of time. The source footage proved to be more problematic than I anticipated, and given the choice
between spending a day banging my head against foorage that had technical problems, or editing a full tape of a twosome, the choice is clear.
Second, you asked about whether current hypnosisfetish members need to renew their subscriptions. This will need to happen after their currently paid for time
expires. As the system is working now, because PayPal has decided that they're the best judge of how you spend your money, all renewing PayPal subscribed
subscriptions are being cancelled where they would normally rebill.
I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to handle getting the word out. A lot of people are good at visiting hypnofocus, e-mailing me, or just visiting the website. I
don't spam people, and I try to avoid e-mailing customers as much as possible. However, I'll probably send out an e-mail at the end of each week for the next month
to subscribers whose accounts end because of the PayPal issue, and who haven't already re-subscribed through CCBill. Respecting my customer's privacy and not
sending them a bunch of e-mails all the time is very important to me.
Okay, here's the deal, when I woke up this morning there was a whole lot of e-mail in my inbox, and both my
servers weren't working right. HypnoGames seems to be working fine now. HypnosisFetish is going to take some work. I don't know how long the downtime will
be.
The members section of Hypnosis Fetish is down today! It gives an error "you don't have permission to access"
but without the password prompt so there's no way to access. When will it be back up?
Brian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
1. Has hypnofetish stopped updating? The new clips seemed to be updating daily as they should and then they
just stopped . . . and the current set with Beth and Debbie is a good one - looking forward to the one with Kathy next and hopefully a threesome-or-moresome soon.
:-) BTW, is Kate finished? It goes to the induction and then just stops.
2. Do current hypnofetish members need to renew their subscriptions? Will you be sending emails to members letting them know what they should do exactly or are the
posts here it? (some folks may not read this board) If we need to renew, then folks will most likely need reminders when their current subscriptions run rather
than now so will you have an autoreminder set up or something like it?
- Brian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
Can someone remind me again, what exactly is the difference between Hypnosisfetish and Hypnogames? I had a very enjoyable membership of the first site recently, but
I seem to recall reading somewhere that Hypnogames is basically identical, just presented differently?
Okay, CCBill was incredibly fast, so HypnosisFetish is accepting new
subscribers again (a downtime of only a few hours, I'm impressed). So things are back to normal, and I'll no longer be offering subscriptions to both sites if you
subscribe to HypnoGames. (In other words, if you want hypnogames, sign up to hypnogames, if you want hypnosisfetish, sign up to hypnosisfetish)
I was just alerted that HypnoGames wasn't updating properly. It should
be mirroring HypnosisFetish right now. Expect HypnoGames to be updated by this evening.
In related news, PayPal has decided that they want to be able to tell people what they can and can't spend their money on, and as such has disabled my account. It
will take me about 48 hours to switch HypnosisFetish over to CCBill, so for the time being, I'm asking people to sign up to HypnoGames.com and then e-mail me their
receipt for CCBill, and I'll create a HypnosisFetish account for them as well.
Never a dull moment around here.
On the plus side, I recently did a twosome with Kathy and another lady, expect that to air after the current twosome.
This is a link to a story in a website called solo, generally dedicated to the subject of masturbation. This
story is supposed to be real and it involves hypnotism.
Meeting a dominant female into b/d,s/m bondage etc! Very strict, obey all commands given me! tv/sub slave
30++s/w/m,relocate, join your stable anywhere! Permently so![ 9/12/03]sexy slutty brunette!
I've actually been a bit disappointed in "The Extreme Truth".
While it employs an intriguing concept: using hypnosis to
reveal the sexual truths of a relationship, including those
hidden or repressed, in order (it is hoped) to better that
relationship, my personal fascination with hypnosis involves
its use as a means of seduction (or dominance in the process of
seduction). What we have in this show is a couple viewing
videotapes of themselves, we are led to believe in trance,
being grilled on the particulars of their sex lives and fantasies.
Most of the erotic content of this show is derived from porn actors
(who vaguely resemble the subjects) acting these moments out.
The hypnotist (Tom Silver, or a dead ringer, who is mostly off camera
and unlit and in the background when he's shown) asks John (let's
call him), "What was the best and most exciting sex you ever had
with Mary" (his wife). While John, who's been fitted with an EEG
headband dreamily relates to the hypnotist the night Mary came into
the bedroom in a string bikini and fuzzy pink bunny slippers
(I'm making this up, the situations vary, of course) we see a little
known porn actress who's about Mary's size and hair color
approaching the camera in a bedroom set in bikini, fuzzy slippers
and a seductive pout...
Now, as little softcore porn vignettes, these are sometimes hot.
As sex therapy, this is probably a very positive idea for couples
who can handle a little embarrassment and truly want to fulfill
even their partner's previously unvoiced fantasies....
*My* problem with it is simply that hypnosis is used to facilitate
the discussion and not the sex.
When Mary reveals that she wants John to be more dominant in bed
and John hints at a secret desire to tie Mary down
and the hypnotist asks Mary how she'd feel about that and
she says "Oooh, that might be exciting!",
I don't want to hear the interviewer
(Who's a 4th party, one of Playboy's video hostesses) say
"So, John, does that give you any ideas for when you get home?".
What *I* want is the hypnotist to say to Mary, "Now, I want you to
imagine what it would feel like to be tied to this couch. Feel your
hands rising above your head, wrists crossed, just like they were tied
together, tightly, but with something soft like silk. Like a tight,
silk necktie..." and when she has "assumed the position", I'd like
the hypnotist to get John up off *his* couch and go over to Mary and
play...
Ah, well. I guess some things are still too twisted for Playboy.
In the most recent issue of Playboy magazine they had a page long blurb on a television show that they have
produced for their Premium Cable/Satalite channel, The Playboy Channel, called The Extreme Truth. I had heard a little mention about it prior, but didn't give it
too much thought. Then last night I was over at a friend's house flipping through the television channel guide while waiting for my friend to get ready, and
noticed it was on.
There's not a whole lot of information about the show on the website or on the channel guide, which is too bad, because I'm curious about it. Anyways, the
description of the show is:
How does your lover really feel about your sex life? Real couples are hypnotized to reveal the surprising truth about their intimate lives together.
I have to admit, it's an intrieging idea for a show. So when I got home, I decided to reroute the cable in our apartment so that I could get the digital signal
into my office. Unfortunately, as I had never ordered pay-per-view before there were numerous technical and procedural problems so I ended up missing it. But upon
further discussion with the daytime staff, I managed to get everything set up, and now I'm just watching the playboy channel waiting for the show to come on. It's
episode 5 by the way.
So does anyone else have any opinon about this show? Has anyone seen any of the previous episodes? It's pretty exciting to see something like this happen in "the
mainstream." Although I have to admit a slight pang of jealousy that it's not my material. :-)
The newest twosome, tape one is rendering into windows media format and quicktime format on my computer as I
type this. The first clip should appear on HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish Monday
night or Tuesday morning at the latest. Fortunately I was able to finish the first move ahead of time, and delay the second move by a few months. So, aside from
having a touch of the flu, things have gotten back on track.
The two girls are Beth and Debbie. Beth, you'll remember from recent history, and Debbie was the cute chick in the red dress from Goth and Punk. It was an amazing
session.
Here's the description list of what to expect for the next 15 updates....
Clip One Induction
5:19
Here we have Beth and Debbie doing an erotic hypnosis twosome. We begin the twosome with the "temple rub" induction. While I focus all my attention on Debbie, Beth
stands there looking cute, and is somewhat distracted, not quite knowing what do do with herself as Debbie quickly goes into a trance. Without any warning, I then
caught Beth's eyes, and started to aim my suggestions at her, all the while deepening Debbie's induction. Quickly Beth finds herself going into the trance as well.
Two weeks after the session, Beth told me that she didn't see it coming at all, it was as if one moment she was in a normal state of mind, and the next she was
completely gone!
Clip Two Countdown
4:40
Continuing from the induction, I deepen Beth and Debbie's trances. Suggestion deep relaxation and obedience to my commands. I then lead into a countdown to focus
their minds on being hypnotized. Reinforcing the desire to obey my voice and pleasure at obeying my commands. I then give them a post hypnotic trigger to enforce
the obedience of my commands in their minds for the session.
Clip Three - Countdown Again
4:22
Beth and Debbie's minds are blank. They are both deeply hypnotized, and it feels right for them to obey my words. It feels good for them to be hypnotized, and
deep inside their minds they are aroused by the idea of being hypnotized by me. That thought makes them feel warm between their legs and tingly in all the special
places.
Then I have them count down together, synchronizing together, and becoming more deeply hypnotized. After this is finished, I continue to build their arousal,
through every part of their bodies.
Clip Four - In Sexy Arms
2:27
When I count to three and snap my fingers, your eyes will open and you'll find yourself in the arms of the most sexy man in the universe. You'll find yourself
compelled to be attracted to him. You'll find yourself unconditionally feeling the most love and lust that you've ever felt in your life. At the same time you'll
realize that there's competition in his other arm, and the two of you are going to compete to get his attention.
After I count to three and snap my fingers, I discuss the induction with the girls, as they swoop in close to me to cary out the post hypnotic command.
Clip Five - Word Association
4:24
I do a bit of word association with the girls to get an idea of what's going on inside their minds.
I then command them to sleep again, and give them the suggestion that their bodies will do what they feel with no thoughts or hesitation.
As they find themselves drawn to me, I continue to say the words that will arouse them even more.
Clip Six - Undressed
2:35
The two ladies arousal continues to get stronger and stronger, as I give them the impression that they want to take off their dresses. After this is done, I use
hypnotic suggestion to associate my voice with erotic pleasure in their minds.
Clip Seven - Kissing
1:54
I give Beth and Debbie a hypnotic compulsion to kiss. They don't care who they are kissing, they just want to kiss the closest person to them. They kiss me and
each other, becoming more hypnotically aroused with each kiss.
Then I give them the suggestion that when they open their eyes, their bras are going to feel itchy and their going to want to take them off.
Clip Eight - Blank Stare
1:47
I talk with the girls a bit. To Beth, I ask, If someone asked you what hypnosis was, what would you say? And she answers, It works. After that I command her to
stare forward with a blank mind until I release her from the trance.
With Beth entranced, her mind blank, waiting for as long as I keep her that way, I walk over to Debbie and ask her what she's thinking right now. With a look of
raw lust on her face, she grabs my shirt with her hand and pulls me close. I then command her to make out with me a little bit, and then give her a post hypnotic
trigger that makes her as blank as Beth.
Facing forward, deeply hypnotized, I now give the girls thoughts to place deep in their mind and obey. I am submissive, I am hypnotized, I am horny, I will obey,
Clip Nine - Hypnotic Orgy
2:24
When I snap my fingers, you'll feel the most intense, incredibly arousing, incredibly horny feeling that you've ever felt in your life. You will turn, face the
hypnotist, wrap yourself around him and kiss him all over.
The girls are then all over me in a hypnotic orgy of pleasure. At my command they remove their panties, and find themselves deep in my power. Unable to resist my
hypnotic spell, they accept their desire for me completely, and they are hypnotically conditioned to accept me as their master, and to obey their master.
Clip Ten - Licking Lips
4:10
In this clip I give the girls a post hypnotic suggestion that they want to kiss me deeply, that is so powerful that they find themselves licking their lips in
anticipation. They want to kiss me more than anything else in the world, and they know inside their mind and their hearts that I'm the best kisser in the
universe.
On my command, they race to kiss me, and the arousal peaks as they orgasm on command.
Clip Eleven - Pleasure Hands
2:09
Relaxing and deepening the girls, I reinforce the idea that I am their master inside their minds. As I build the pleasure in their girl's minds, Debbie
subconsciously takes my hand and rubs it along her body. This gives me the idea to give both the girls this idea, and I make it a hypnotic suggestion.
At this point, I've got two incredibly sexy and incredibly horny naked hypnotized chicks in my arms, moaning with pleasure, and rubbing my hands all over their
bodies. This is great. Then I give them the hypnotic suggestion that my hands make them feel tingly and more aroused, that my hands are a pleasure device.
Then I give them the idea that the next time I kiss each of them, they'll have an incredibly powerful orgasm.
Clip Twelve - Bark Like a Dog
3:49
Before waking the girls up for a little bit, I give them the suggestion that every time I touch their nipple, they'll get really horny and bark like a dog. Also,
they'll have no idea why they're naked. I then wake them up and play with them a little bit with these suggestions.
Clip Thirteen - Sexiest Person Ever
2:28
When I snap my fingers, you'll turn to the person next to you and they will be the most sexiest person you've ever seen in your life. They embrace and kiss and
then I give them the orgasm on command.
Clip Fourteen - Touching The Pleasure
4:08
Obedient and hypnotized, Beth and Debbie stand before me, chanting that they love being hypnotized by their master. As they hear them, they feel them becoming
stronger in their mind. Then I suggest that their hands wander their bodies. They feel happy and good, as the pleasure builds, and their hands go all over. Then
I give them a hypnotic suggestion that they touch themselves the way that they do when they're alone. As they finger themselves, I count them down to another
orgasm.
Rubbing their pussy, and moaning in orgasm, I then suggest that they've just discovered that they're multiply orgasmic. After they settle down from the pleasure, I
have them thank me for the orgasm, and associate that pleasure with me, in their minds.
Clip Fifteen - Pent Up Horniness
2:54
By my hypnotic suggestion, the two girls feel unashamed, unembarrassed, and aroused. They kiss and press against each other some more, and then I blank their minds
and have them repeat over and over again that their horniness is pent up, under your control by my master.
Here is a message that I posted in the member's area over there:
We've finally got the join page back up, and have switched to our new third party processor, CCBill. For those of you keeping track, this will be the thrid, third
party payment solution that I've gone to for this year, HypnoGame's third year of operation. Is that enough threes for you? I paid out 750 dollars to VISA, and
CCBill seems to be really on the ball and is working with VISA and MasterCard very closely to insure compliance with all the new regulations. So here's hoping that
all these billing problems are in the past.
I've posted some updates of Kate. This was an experimental shoot making use of a new wireless micorphone and a two camera angle. Some things worked out well, some
things different (for example, a few good clips had to be sent to the cutting room floor because our camera people showed up in them because of the experimental
camera placement, and they don't want to be in the clips).
I know this month has been kind of crazy, and unfortunately it's going to have to be a little crazy for a while longer as I'm a few hours away from a car trip
across the continent to help my girlfriend move, and then when I get back to Phoenix I'll be a few days to help my Cameraman move (I roomate with both of them, and
it's kind of a pain in the ass that they both have to move at the same time). If you know how crazy it can be to move, then I'm sure you'll sympathize with me, as
I have to do two moves in two countries simeltaneously. But believe me, when the dust settles, I've got some great stuff for you. I've got a twosome that will
drive you crazy in post production. Expect it to start on or around the Fourth of September.
Also, be sure to check out my other project, HaXXXor. Naked chicks teach you how to hack. You've never seen anything like it.
Available on DVD. This was my first Professionally Replicated DVD, and it has opened the door to the first Best Of HypnoGames DVD, coming soon!
I know it's been crazy lateley, but it's getting all worked out. Things are pretty busy for me right now.... Now's the time to sort of enjoy the archives, and
look forward to the most incredlbe twosome I've ever done, coming up real soon.
Hypnosis may or may not be able to help you out. There are many professionals out there that specialize in using Hypnosis to help with trans-gender issues. This
is, belive it or not, a common request. However, you really need to seek out a professional for this sort of thing. This is not the type of thing that you want to
be "a test case" with any random joe off the net.
I don't have any professionals that I can refer you to, but I'm sure one of our other HypnoFocus readers may.
Good luck, and I hope things work out well for you.
hi there, im niqui, im a male to female pre-op in san francisco and id love to try hypnosis to build my
confidence in myself. in transitioning and trying to live full time as a woman. its all ive EVER dreamed of. but im still insecure, i wonder if feminization
hypnosis or something like that would help. im also very very poor so i guess im wondering if anyone needs a test subject or practice or something in lieu of
payment. i sure hope so, im so ready to move on with "niqui"
I'm going to break my lurking status to request one thing- which you may not have for existing models but I
would like to see for all future models on all future shoots.
The preview thumbnails from the video shots do not do justice to your models, and I find it hard to really see what they look like without actually being subscribed
and grabbing a clip. I subscribe when I can but can't sustain a monthly membership.
I'd like to see a preview page with higher-quality (at least 640X480, 150dpi if possible) still photos of the models, specifically upper body and head shots. One
shot per model would be sufficient... just enough to see if she trips your specific trigger, so to speak.
Also just going to mention that I love your work and that you are one lucky SOB to be able to make a career out of this and still be afloat so far. Best of luck
with Visa and their arcane merchant rules. Hopefully you'll find a bank that'll let you get a merchant services account and you can process MOTO/Ecom and say
goodbye to this third party hell.
I went ahead and picked up Media Cleaner version 6.0 for Macintosh. It's the only way that I've been able to find to make windows media format files on my Mac. As
some of you may remember, I switched over nearly half a year ago, and haven't regretted it once. However, I found myself in a bottleneck in as much as I can edit
footage anywhere I take my laptop, but I still need to find a Windows PC to make windows media format files. That's the reason why there were delays sometimes.
Now that problem is fixed. (Unfortunately lightening up my wallet a bit in the process - it's annoying to have to pay half a grand to buy something to do the same
thing that you used to use a free program for.).
This set was sort of an experimental set, in as much as we used two cameras set up to do the more intimate over the shoulder facial closeup.
Be sure to let me know what you think of the camera style, and give it a little time before you jump to judgement. I know there's often a tendency for people to be
afraid of change, but I want honest opinions, not knee-jerk reactions.
I've modified the code that HypnoFocus runs on. Now it only displayed
the 50 most recent messages (instead of displaying all the messages like it used to). This should speed up the amount of time it takes to load up the home page.
Also, I've archived the older messages. You can see them under the Message Board header, divided up into post groupings of about 50.
I'm often in a difficult position. On the one hand, I want to give you guy teasers and previews. On the other hand, until the final editorial decisions have been
made, things can change. Have no fear, you'll get to see some Trish... you just won't be seeing as much of her as, for example, Beth, because the footage doesn't
exist.
I enjoy doing my thing with the most variety possible in regards to subject. Of course, it's sort of like fishing, you sort of get what you catch. Which mostly
goes into how we handle our recruitment, which I won't go into further detail on this forum.
Believe me, I dig redheads, and with all the time I spend travelling, would enjoy mixing the ethnicity as well. But once again, it mostly has to do with our
recruitment process.
The twosome is in post. I can't really say when it will air. A six or more would be fun. But right now the logistics don't make it possible. Right off the bat,
we're looking at around a grand, just for models. The space that I use right now to film in, would not accomodate that many people. We would need to use more
advanced filming techniques, and probably get our hands on more cameras... etc.
Don't get me wrong. Sooner or later you'll see it. I'm just saying that for purely logistical reasons it's going to have to be later, as I don't have the
resources or time to do such a large undertaking right now. Perhaps in 2 or 3 months, the case may be different.
Curses! Trish is the one from the Spring Trip I was looking forward to seeing the most - the law of contrast going into effect (she looks the most different in the
publicity stills).
If the session did not go well then it is appropriate not to use the material.
Would it be possible to specifically target a wider variety of types for subjects? A redhead would be nice or some Asians or blacks or whatever. In the past we've
seen a couple girls who are cut from a different mold but lately there seem to be a lot who have similar body and hair types.
Of course, ideally . . . we would really . . . well we really means me but there are probably a number of folks who agree . . . love to see a group piece . . . you
told us you have another twosome on deck . . . but how about that six-or-more-some we talked about in the past?
The next series will probably start on Monday in quicktime format, and a day or two later for windows media
format. I no longer have access to a windows based PC up in my lab in Montreal, so my options are to spring another half a grand for Media Cleaner version 6 for
Mac, or ask a friend of mine who runs a cyber cafe real nicely if I can process porn on one of his computers. Realistically it will probably be a mixture of both.
I'll probably end up having to do a few clips at my friends to hold back the tide until the software can be delivered to me.
It's not going to be Trish. I've been debating when and if her set will be going up, as well as what or if I'll publicly say about it.
Trish is attractive, and the induction went very well. However, I noticed an uncomfortable response from her when we started to get into the suggestive part of the
session. Since I would never ask anyone to do anything that would make them uncomfortable, we stopped the session and discussed what was going on with her life.
She filled us in, and I decided to end the session, as I didn't feel comfortable continuing after learning a few things about her life.
In the interest of respecting her privacy, I won't go into further detail. Let's just say that she was having some problems in her personal life, and leave it at
that.
The induction will probably be posted at some future date, as well as some non-hypno pictures that my photographer had taken of her prior.
There are in fact some cool stuff in post production right now, but that's all I can really say about that at this time. I know ya guys, I've I give you more than
a vague hint, you'll be demanding the full scoop before I know it! :-)
I'll keep your input in mind JJ. However, the first disk is going to almost certainly be a "Best Of" disk.
There are several reasons why this is the case (believe me, I've had about two years to think this over).
The first reason is that everyone has different tastes. Some people are in love with clover. Other people are in love with Betty. Etc... To reach the widest
possible audience, I can't rely on just one girl, theme, or session. Since this is going to be a professionally replicated DVD (not DVD-R), then I'm looking at a
minimum run of about 500.
The second reason is that this is going to be going out into Video Stores, and will attempt to reach a wider audience than just the mainstream hypno-fetishists. To
do this, it's going to have to be fast paced and keep the viewer's interest. I've done a lot of screening of my work with audiences outside of the fetish, and
that's just a fact of life when reaching outside of the community. Now in a room of about 50 random people, 1 or 2 will see what's going on, and they'll want to
see everything from the pre-induction screening, to the induction, to the deepening, to the suggestions, to the aftermath. That in a nutshell is how we can
introduce the hypno-fetish to new people. It can often be very difficult to keep even people in the BDSM fetish to sit still through a ten minute induction to get
to "the good stuff," and their fetish is really almost identical to our own (just has slightly different means, to get to slightly different ends).
If things go well with the first DVD, then single session "uncut" DVD's probably won't be too far in the future.
As far as the cutting of the clips for the website. Sometimes it might seem rough because I'm in a hurry to get it online. Sometimes it might seem rough because
there's a target time minimum and maximum that I've learned to go for in 3 years of doing this. Sometime's it's rough because that's just how we got it, and
there's little we can do about it... which unfortunately is the bane of the "documentary" style that i do this in.
But I do appreciate the feedback. Now's the time for people to give it to me. I'm back in the lab with my video master copies, so principal clip selection will
start to take place soon. Of course if anyone has any clips that are their absolute favorites... now's the time to e-mail me or to post to the forum. I won't make
any promises, but I'll keep them in mind.
I don't think I would shell out for a highlight video, no matter how good the quality is, as the stuff on the
site is already very good. What I would like to see, however, are as long and as uncut sessions as possible. The files on the site are short and sometimes crudely
cut, I would pay good money for nice, long, uninterrupted play of full sessions.

Ditto! It's been a few days now since the Beth series finished . . . and we have been waiting for Trish for what seems like ages . . . not to mention the teases
you've been making about another set of sessions already in the can. We've been primed and ready for awhile!
Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/hypnosis/index.html
http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/DRTRC/index.html http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/guidedimagery/index.html
For some time now, I've been mentioning a huge project that I've been working on. The recent problems in the
adult industry with the credit card processors and the third party processors have been a complete and total pain in the ass, and have been nearly crippling.
However, my photographer and I both come from computer geek roots, and for the most part met at a convention called Def Con.
Anyway, something like two years ago, it occurred to me that it would be totally cool to combine hacking with porn. For two years I kept a vision in my head of a
hot chick with big tits running a port scanner, and fingering herself while she dreamed of all the boxes she was going to root.
Well, this summer, it looked like it was going to be possible to try to make it happen. We had a convention with 5,000 of our computer geek brothers coming up, and
a table waiting for us. We had the girls, we had the scripts, and if we acquired a taste for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and Top Raman Noodles, we could probably
even fund it. Plus this 15 inch ti-book G4 with DVD burner has been an absolute dream to work with, and I've never regretting buying it.
In about 5 weeks, we scripting, filmed, edited, and produced 1,000 professionally replicated DVDs. Then we got a van, filled it up with girls, drove to Las Vegas
for the hacker convention, and were the hottest thing there.
It was really cool, and really expensive. When all was said and done, we had made back our money, and made enough after that to pay the rent in the apartment that
I share with my photographer.
But the really cool thing is that now I'm experienced in authoring DVDs, and have a professional replication company ready to produce the glass masters and
replicate them. We're talking real DVD's like what you get in the store, and not DVD-R.
This means that my first erotic hypnosis DVD is going to be available soon. It's going to be a best of DVD, and will probably be an hour long. I'm really excited
about this, and can't wait to put it together. So if there's anything anyone wants to see in the DVD, let me know. Pretty much it's going to be the highlights of
the website, but in the full highest quality.
Well, it seems that the matter with ACPay/EGSPay is pretty much resolved.... unfortunately it ended up for
the worst for me.
I had to deactivate about 40 user accounts on HypnoGames last night. The following e-mail was sent out to everyone whose account was disabled. I'm sorry about
this, but ACPay/EGSPay really screwed me on this...
Mail Begins:
If you are receiving this e-mail, it means that your account was disabled last night on http://www.hypnogames.com .
The reason why this has happened, is because the third party billing company that I have been using, ACPay (who changed their name to EGSPay) has pretty much
screwed me out of about a month's worth of new member billings.
If you read my news and community site HypnoFocus, http://www.hypnofocus.com , you might be aware of the difficulties that I have had with the third party
processors this year.
Essentially, they informed me of minor technical problems around the 9th of July. Then they stopped responding to phone calls or e-mails. Then on around the 25th,
they informed us that they were going under, and while they would be able to continue processing rebills of older customers, none of the pending sales for the month
would be processed.
They then informed us that they would provide the sales information to our new third party biller, but unfortunately none of my options for third party billing will
accept this data. This means that the funds will not be charged to your cards for the membership on HypnoGames.com if you signed up for the first time after July
9th.
This pretty much puts me in the position that I have given away access to the site to you for free.
At this time, HypnoGames.com is not accepting new memberships. I'll probably put up information on how to do mail in memberships shortly. We will probably be
using CCBill as our new processor. However, I'm going to have to pay 750 dollars out of my own pocket to be able to accept visa, along with a ten day wait. This
is in addition to not receiving about a month's worth of payment (even though I'm still paying for a month's worth of bills). Once the new processor finally kicks
in, it will be about three weeks before I see a dime from them.
If you like my work, and wish to continue to support it, I would urge you to sign up for my sister site HypnosisFetish.com, http://www.hypnosisfetish.com. I use
Paypal as the processor over there, for as long as that will last (who knows how long that will be). If each and everyone of you would sign up there, I would
receive the payment immediately and that would go a long way to insuring the switch over.
Thank you

Owner, Operater, Webmaster, Hypnotist of HypnoGames/HypnosisFetish/HypnoFocus
Exile, you might change the note in the Hypnosis Fetish Members page that is from early July about putting new clips on . . . it makes it seem that you haven't
updated since then when we are now getting current updates.
In Message #350, gerd asked, "Is it atuelly possible that one could get hypnotized on the net ore from MP3s, as
so many claim? Or is that only a gymick."
Why don't you give it a go and find out. There are some deep relaxation MP3s at http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/DRTRC/index.html or, if you're feeling
adventurous try some of EMG's more daring pieces at http://www.warpmymind.com or http://www.warpmymind.co.uk whichever works best for you.
Be sure to let us know how it goes after you've given them an honest listen of say ten sessions.
Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
I've just posted a message on the join page at HypnoGames.com that right this moment we're not accepting any more new user applications.
So here's some FAQ's on what's going on, I don't want anyone to panic :-).
1. Why did this happen?
I've lost confidence in my current third party processor to successfully process new accounts. This is actually an issue that has been in effect for about two
weeks now, and I've had to resign myself to the fact that I may end up losing two weeks worth of new sales. I'm not sure, I'll find out in about a week and a half
when the money is owed to me. Regardless, due to my lack of confidence in the third party processor, I have decided to take this action.
2. What about recurring memberships?
The statistics for the recurring memberships for ACPay/EGSPay, my current third party processor, as well as some rebills for i-bill, my original third party
processor, are still updating, and therefore I still have confidence in my ability to be paid for those. In which case, I'll let those continue for as long as
those members want them to and as long as I still get paid for them.
3. Will you ever be accepting new members to HypnoGames?
Yes. HypnoGames is very special to me. I've fought tooth and nail to keep it going for several years now, and I don't plan on stopping. However, HypnosisFetish
is also special to me, and in many ways is a better site than HypnoGames in my opinion. Ever since I started having problems with i-bill, it's been a mirror for
HypnoGames, for just this very reason. I plan on having HypnoGames accpeting new members as usual as soon as I get set up with my new third party processor CCBill.
This will probably take about 2 to 2 and a half weeks. In addition, now that I've moved my company back into the states, I will probably be accepting and
encouraging more mail order memberships. I'll go into further detail on these two matters shortly.
4. Will HypnoGames continue to be updated throughout all this
Yes. Nothing will change on the inside.
5. Why will it take 2 to 2 and a half weeks to get started with CCBill?
The world has changed drastically in the last six months. The industry has changed drastically on a near daily basis over the last six months as well. The long
and the short of it is that VISA has decided to dictate terms, and we have no choice but to do what they say. Unfortunately for me, VISA doesn't dictate terms
directly to me, they dictate to the third party billing companies, who then decide what and when they are going to relay information. Both i-bill and ACPay/EGSPay
have been highly irresponsible in their obligation to timely report this information to me on their respective past occassions, and this has damaged my ability to
be proactive in dealing with and anticipating these problems. It has been brought to my attention that CCBill has historically been more informative to those that
rely upon them in the past, so now I'm going to try them. Also, their offices are a ten minute drive from my Phoenix location, so if they get funny, it's going to
take more than a receptionist hanging up on me to ignore me. Unfortunately to get fully up and running, the 750 dollar visa fee that has recently become mandated
must be paid up front. Then there's a ten day waiting period after that happens. To complicate matters, I'm in the middle of something delicate right now that has
tied up all of my time and financial resources, adding an extra week to that time frame, making the absolute earliest that I can have that operational be 17
days.
6. What's the delicate matter that is occupying your attention?
I can't wait to tell you, but it's long and will require it's own message. I'll write that one next.
7. What's with this 750 dollar visa fee?
That's what I'd like to know. The third party processors get real evasive when I ask them this directly, and thus far I've been unable to contact VISA at all to
ask them. Essentially, because I have naked women involved in what I do, I'm told that I have to pay this - or else. I don't receive any documentation. I don't
receive any certification. I don't receive anything at all, except the third party billing processors's word, who I trust not at all, that it has to be done.
Furthermore, I seem to have to pay it everytime I register with a processor, so if another decides to screw me, I get to pay it again and again and again evidently.
This doesn't make me happy one bit, but there isn't anything that I can do about it, so pretty much I have to hope that things work out with CCBill. Unfortunately
I don't have 750 dollars right now (regarding the matter in question 6.) So it's going to have to wait.
8. You said mail order memberships?
Yes. Now that I'm back in the states, even though I travel a lot still, I now have the ability to have my mail box regularly monitored and attended to. This means
that I'll be welcoming money orders soon. I'm probably going to have to ask for a photocopy of government issued id, and a signed form indicating proof of age.
That may make some people uncomfortable, and I'm sorry, but I'd rather not risk breaking the law. More information on this will be posted as soon as I make my
final decisions.
Well, mostly it's what they didn't do. Essentially I switched over to them, and it was good for about a month. Then they started to post policy and fee changes
out of the blue that I didn't like and that weren't disclosed when I chose them. Had they been disclosed, I wouldn't have chosen them. Simple enough
Then they, along with every other third party processer indicated that they could no longer service Canadian companies. Evidently this has something to do with
the banking system. Who knows...
Then about two weeks ago, the statistics page stopped updating properly, even though new sales were still coming in.
I contacted them, and they sent me back a form message that didn't even address my issue, along with assurances that it was being handled, and would be working on
Friday, or Monday at the latest.
I contacted them multiple times by both mail and phone. E-mail was not responded to, and everyone on the phone indicated that eveidentlly there were only 2 really
special people, with no bosses, in the entire organization that I could speak with, and evidently they only exist in 24 hour meetings that never end.
I've been through the run around before with i-bill, so I wasn't surprised when Friday and Monday rolled around, and nothing was fixed.
A few days later, some shady sounding mass e-mails came out in regards to their trying to sell their company or something.
In short, they've been decpetive, and are not acting my best interest. They refuse to answer e-mail and nobody is taking responsibility on their phones. This is
not how someone who takes 15 percent of every dollar you make is supposed to treat you.
10. What did i-bill do?
Well, it would probably be best to scroll back through the message archives for that. But essentially they did a lot of the same things that ACPay/EGSPay has been
doing recently. Lying to me, not giving me accurate information. Endless run around. Missed payments. Etc.
I didn't get a (badly needed) Christmas holiday last year because of them. I had to terminate an important project late last year because of them. I had to endure
endless torment in dealing with them that lasted almost a month early this year, and only ended when I called the CEO of their company up at 1:00 am in the morning
at his home on a Saturday and asked him to get his people back in line, because of them. They've been unwilling to make any ammends what so ever. Once again, not
the way that someone that takes 15 percent off the top should treat you.
11. So What's Next?
This year has been difficult for many reasons. The third party processors have been a big reason, because my ability to make and execute plans depends on me being
paid what I've earned. However, we're still plugging away at this, and also look forward to the day when we have our own merchant account and are only losing 3-5
percent off the top, and don't have to put up with any more of this BS. While I've not been lucky in hiring tech staff, I have been lucky in hiring creative
photographic staff. The girls are hotter than before, and are not it short supply. We're even in the process of getting some live action going. And there's a
twosome in post production right now that will knock your socks off. So have no fear, even though business level stuff is bringing me down right now, we're still
pushing forward, making for a stronger and better future!
It's possible that for one reason or another that an editorial decision to leave out a segment may have
occurred. I really don't have time to investigate it into further detail right now though...
Hmm. is it just me or there seems to be a clip missing between 26 and 27 ? it looks like there should be a part
there where you made her boobs go bigger or something.
the automatic update thing for hypnogames doesn't seem to be working, it's stuck on clip 25 for a couple of
days while I see hypnosisfetish has gone further.
HypnoGames.com has been updated, and the auto update should be running smoothly for the rest of the Beth set
and into August.
The current third party processor for HypnoGames.com, ACPay/EGSPay, is getting really flakey. They've stopped responding to my e-mails and I haven't been able to
get ahold of a person there. Last night I received an e-mail vaguely mentioning that they are selling their company to someone else. I'll probably be switching to
CCBill very soon. Unfortunately they want 750 dollars up front and a 10 day wait to accept visa, so it may have to hold until the second or third week of August,
as I'm currently involved in a project that is consuming the bulk of my attention right now. Stay tuned here and to hypnofocus.com for more information.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you regarding message number 304. When I answer questions like this, I like to back it up with something. Now that the site
has been updated an programmed for the next few weeks, as well as the next few batches of footage shot, I feel comfortable in doing so.
The July updates for HypnosisFetish.com got a little bogged down due to a number of business problems that have drained my attention.
Recently I've hired two people on to my staff full time. One was a computer programmer, that while he did a stellar job of creating a new back end for
hypnosisfetish.com that has made the updating process easier, unfortnuately didn't work out due to differneces between his working style and my management style.
My third party payment solutions (the way that I can get money from you guys to me, in order to pay the bills and keep filming and editing new work full time) have
been a nightmare this year, and today I spent an hour on the phone with AC Pay in order to chase down people that have been mysteriously in constant meetings,
evidently with their bosses, and bosses bosses and all the way on up.... yeah right. So now my faith is completely shaken in AC Pay, but I've given them until
10:00 pm tonight before I persue other options. To further compound matters, Visa has been changing their rules on a weekly basis now for a while. So now we're
being asked to pony up a 750 dollar fee, just for the privlege of using Visa, while not gaining any security or benefits for ourselves. Since I've been personally
screwed over by every single third party payment solution that I've had the misery of doing business with, I'm not particularly eager to just hand them over 3/4ths
of a grand, in addition to the 15 percent that they take off the top from me. I've been desperately seeking a solution for my own merchants account. But it's been
very difficult to find anyone who will do business with me in this sexually immature country. Even though my chargeback and fraud rates are down between 1 and 2
percent, which is essentially unheard of in this industry.
Compounding problems, I've had to completely shutdown my Canadian corporation, on account that VISA has done something, that evidentally makes it impossible to get
paid if you're going through a third party billing company and are Canadian. Which means that I've had to move all my operations back to the states, with the
expense and time drains that are entailed in such.
In addition, there's a special project that I'm working on for a conference that's coming up in about two weeks, that if things go well, will make me enough capital
to upgrade my camera, and hopefully buy my way into a merchant account for some long term stability that the third party payment solutions have been unable or
unwilling to provide.
in short, it's been pretty crazy.
But that's just the bad parts. The good parts is that the second person that I hired to my staff is a skilled and talented photographer that has been asisting in
the recruiting and production aspects of the site. Now we're seeing a lot more high quality stills taken, and an almost unending stream of hot and sexy women of
the caliber of the spring break.
Once things settle down a bit on the business side, we'll be free to explore new things, such as multi women shoots, exotic locations, and more.
And, we have another twosome coming up for the queue. Stay tuned for more information on that one. But yes, it's already been filmed, and is currently in post
production.
So, to answer your question, you can expect to see more daily updates, and a dependable and reliable basis. But I do ask that everyone be sensitive to the
challenges that are currently making demands of my attention.
However, there's no danger of the sites going down, or of me going out of business. And that's a gurantee.
Brian, in message 300, you mentioned that the high speed windows media clips for nurse betty hypnotized clips
20 and 21 didn't work. I've gone in and fixed it. Should be fine now!
Glad to see an update! Was beginning to worry. :-)
The link to the high quality wmv for clip seven is broken.

In message 334, you asked about the update. I've just updated HypnosisFetish.com and programmed in it's updates, one for
every day, until about the fifth of august. HypnoGames.com should also see the update within about 24 hours.
I wanted to get an update on the progress of being able to purchase videos like, "Flirtacia," "Nurse Betty," or
"Twosome" on VHS tapes. Can you tell me if any of these videos are going to be available on VHS in the near future.
hi,
just wondered into this website. i've always had a huge fetish for hypnosis and have had fantasies of being put under. nice to see that i'm not alone. if anyone
ever wants to chat or more, drop me a line. i'd love to try a little online roleplay or rl.
bethany_sub2000@yahoo.com
I don't like to use third party software. Using PHP Nuke, and being subjected to automated attacks that target that software several times a month taught me that
lesson.
As far as threaded message boards.... Completely pointless for the volume of messages that we get. And even if we got higher volume, still pointless. The format
that we are using is the simplist, most reliable and robust.
This forum seems nice but abit techonogicaly impaired...why don't you install phphbb or something similar to
allow normal threaded conversation as in most forums ?
It's not just a matter of different file sizes and formats, there are three seperate angles. The set was done that way, and is meant to be viewed that way. That's
just sort of how it is.
Perhaps It will be added to HypnoGames in the future. We'll see.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I still have a backlog that I'm catching up with.
In Message #310, you inquired about a set called goth and punk that is available on HypnosisFetish.com and not on HypnoGames.com.
The main reason for this, is that I filmed this when HypnosisFetish was my experimental website at that time, and I tried a bunch of different things back then.
This set incorporated 3 cameras, and the HypnoGames backend has no good way of supporting that footage.
There's a number of new directions that I would like to experiment with in terms of expression of erotic hypnosis content.
Regarding any women doing a turning the tables hypnosis or a woman on woman hypnosis, that really depends on whether or not I find a lady hypnotist or take one on
as an apprentice. Remember, it's one thing to find two girls and say: Okay you hold the watch in front of the other and say these words. It's another thing to
find a real hypnotist.
Hi, Just wondering will you ever make a set of vid. clips on hypnofetish.com or hypnogames.com where the girls
turn the tables and hypnotize the male hypnotist. Or even the girls hypnotizing each other. Just wondering
Deano, I agree with Exile . . . seek out a qualified competent therapist to work with . . . someone in a face-to-face-in-person relationship NOT some internet
resource.
I assume your local library (either public or university) has access to a good CD or online database for SocioFile, Psychlit, and the rest which you can do a search
for scholarly publications on hypnosis and behavioral change . . . while I know for certain that hypnosis works for this sort of thing, my evidence is based upon
extensive case example and experiential anecdote.
This forum really isn't the best place to look for answers related to changing deep behaviors . . . you need to go to forums related to hypnotherapy . . . a web
forum attached to an hypnofetish producer is more appropriate for recreational hypnosis discussions than for hypnotherapeutic ones so any advice you got here would
need to be taken with a load of salt.
Besides . . . while I have dealt with folks with sexual obsessions before . . . I wouldn't dream of giving advice to someone who was not my client on a board of
this type. I don't know the depth or significance or nature of your problem and so any suggestions might be inappropriate. Some folks can appropriately be helped
via hypnotherapy while others I would not work with at all and would refer them immediately to a psychiatric councellor. Since I don't know you or your problem I
can't say which way to go . . . so you should go to a qualified and compentent person to seek your answers beyond the simple and truthful but seemingly not very
helpful "yes it can work with many people but it is inappropriate for others."

Something like what you are asking for is probably something that you would probably want to consider asking a therapist. If you are concerned that you have a
behavior that is undesired or unhealthy, then you really should consider a real life relationship with a trained professional.
As far as empirical evidence goes... Well the social sciences still have quite a bit of ground to cover before they're as empirical as the natural sciences. I
personally treat anything from the social sciences as annectdote, unless there's a PET, MRI, or similar "objective" technology involved for the measurments.
I am trying to find a way to eradicate a sexual obssession. I have not considered hypnosis before and would like to know whether there is empirical evidence to
support success using this technique. I would also like to know if there are any sites that cater for such needs?
Thanks for your time and I look forward to a reply.
First off, if you don't wish to use the forum to read your replies, why bother posting here. Why don't you use an email list or such that specializes in this sort
of thing.
Second, no you won't become a physical woman . . . however, it is possible - provided the right motivation, induction, and suggestibility - to perceive physical
changes.
If you go to the http://www.warpmymind.com website you will find that EMG has uploaded MANY free mp3s specifically for the kinds of things you have in mind and then
some. Many of his files are adult content and of a very wide variety.
You may wish to join his discussion list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/warpmymind as well.
Some folks have immediate and powerful success with his files while others take much longer with regular listening.
Good luck.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnosisTechniqueExchange
www.warpmymind.com is a free site that has alot of hypnotic sound files, some of them seem very suitable for
your purpose. I suggest that you start out with the simple induction, and when that file puts you under easily advance to the more specific files from there.
I have a question, I am interested in several possibilities for hypnosis. I am not sure if this is even
possible or not. I will list my questions and they are in no particular order.
2. I keeping with question one, when I become a woman, can I look in the mirror and see a specific woman. Maybe a woman I know or one I saw a picture of. Not me as
a woman, but a particular one. Is that possible and what resources are there for this?
3. Also in keeping with the previous questions, is there a way to hypnotize my body so that my mind creates a feminine body. Hypnotize me so that my body actually
reshapes to be the body of the woman I visualize in question 2. I really mean lose/gain wait and inches in specific areas to make my body look like that body I know
or see. What resources are there for this?
I am a man and I am not into BDSM at all. I do not particularly want to become a full woman physically either. No Transgender. I first of all want this as a
fantasy. Something I can do to explore my feminine side. Make me be a total woman in my mind. Maybe a particular woman. This may sound strange but I would also like
my body to be more feminized. Basically so I can play dress up on occasion and not have to by clothes from some cross dresser place or the Big girls shop.
If anyone can help with this, please send me an e-mail with your comments to william_kochevar@msn.com. will most likely not look at this website much so I would
prefer direct communication. Any suggestion of websites to visit would be wonderful. Thanks ever so much in advance for any replies.
1. I would like to be hypnotized into being a woman. I want to be hypnotized so that I think and act just like
a woman and when I look in the mnirror, I see only a womand. a very lovely, sexy woman. I would like all my male persona removed and replace with the female one. My
persona would believe that I have always been a woman and never a man. I see only a woman, I here only a woman and I am only a woman. Is this possible? What
resources are there for this. I would like to be able to trigger this onmy own. Turn it on and off by myself. I want it to be a complete
transformation/feminisation. I want all the feelings of a real woman. Both emotional and sexual. Let me know what resources there are for this.
I have a question, I am interested in several possibilities for hypnosis. I am not sure if this is even
possible or not. I will list my questions and they are in no particular order. More messages to follow. Please send all responses to William_kochevar@msn.com as I
do not ferequent this webpage much. Thanks.
I've noticed a set called "Goth and Punk" which is available on hypnosisfetish but not hypnogames. Why so ? and
would it ever be posted on hypnogames ?
You guys seem quite knowlegeable in the area of hypnosis both erotic and natural so I was hoping someone could answer my query.
When did the spiral first become associated with hypnosis.
I ask this because my two favorite hypnosis cliches have always been the pocket watch and the spiral and I know the origins of the swinging pocket watch cliche.
Hello everyone, sorry for dropping into a black hole... As a result of yet more VISA fun, it was announced
that pretty much no 3rd party billing solution would be doing any adult business with any Canadian business. With my ability to continue operating threatened, I
had little real choice but to move my business to the United States. So I've been spending the last two weeks fighting jet lag and the weight of corporations of
mind boggling size and strength bearing down on me. Combining this with the setbacks in both time and resources that resulted when my new tech guy didn't work
out... is pretty much the reason for the delay in updates and the lack of response to inquiry that has taken place recently.
I've been fighting for the future of a company that I've devoted my life to for the past three years, as well as my future and livelyhood.
However, the fight is pretty much over, and things are looking brighter and more solid then they ever have in the past. While it's a fact of life that the adult
web industry is changing on practically a daily basis these days, the work that I've been doing and the foundation that I've laid, while inconvienently timed, will
make it more likely that we'll be able to face whatever arbitrary changes and last minute challenges that the forces outside of our control hand to us.
In the meantime, check out Beth on HypnosisFetish.com. I've just finished adding about 45 minutes
worth of footage, and there's plenty more where that came from. HypnoGames.com will receive the update as soon as I can get
the windows media format files generated. Hopefully within the next 24 hours or so.
I appreciate everyone's patience in this matter... And believe me, if you thought the girls from the spring were hot, wait till you see what we got in store for
you in the fall!
will there be an update on hynosisfetish.com during the month of july, or did the completion of the nurse betty set count as this months update? also, will
hypnosisfetish continue will complete set updates as it has in the past, or will we see more half & half sets like nurse betty?
The high quality wmv files for Nurse Betty clips 20 and 21 are not working. The mov files seem to be up but
not the wmv. Could you get this corrected for those of us who prefer wmv files? Thanks!

Possible downtime for HypnosisFetish.com on
Tuesday July 1, 2003 11:45 pm CDT and complete by Wednesday July 2, 2003 4:00 am
This is routine maintainence, and is no cause for alarm.
I got this from my hosting provider regarding the server that HypnosisFetish is on:
This is a notice that we will be performing scheduled maintenance in our San Antonio, Texas data center facility. The operational window is scheduled to begin at
Tuesday July 1, 2003 11:45 pm CDT and complete by Wednesday July 2, 2003 4:00 am. During this time we will upgrading the electrical infrastructure of the data
center. Please be advised that during the maintenance window power to your server(s) may be disconnected. We will be working hard to complete the work
quickly.
Don't worry Brian, while these things are highly annoying to me, they're being dealt with. I've been
programming for my websites for years, and ran a successful development company before I even started these sites. The tech guy was a luxury, not a necessity.
The server migration had to happen. HypnoGames.com started out on a shared hosting account, and unfortunately that opens up
a whole lot of security problems. However, the migration is going smoothly, and once DNS propagates, it's a done deal really.
The payment processors have been the bane of my existance since December (read the HypnoFocus archives for more details). However, on my last trip down to Phoenix,
I spent considerable time, energy, and resources to launch a new business structure in the US. Unfortunately, I'm going to be slapped with a 750 charge from VISA,
for no good reason other than because they say so. However, with an American business structure, a paid VISA fee, and AC Pay, my ability to process payment is
pretty much stable. HypnosisFetish will also be processed by AC Pay, and this will go into effect probably by Wednesday. Once things settle down, I'll be trying
to get my own merchant account, which will be really cool. But, unfortunately, it takes a little doing to get one of those.
I don't like to share the difficulties that I have with my visitors, because the fact of the matter is that I run a business and there's always going to be little
snags here and there. However, everyone has been demanding answers from me - so here they are.
The good news is that the guy who hooked me up with all the hot chicks from my spring trip is still on board. And once all this nonsense that I'm engaged in right
now is settled, we're looking into doing live sessions. That's right, live interactive erotic hypnosis. Don't ask when this is going to start, because I don't
know. Realistically the first one will be announced on the day of, out of the blue - so keep your eyes open.
But have no fear, I've own the largest and longest running, most reliable erotic hypnosis websites in the history of mankind. And it's only going to get better.
All I ask is that if I go a few days without an update, enjoy the archives, there's about 24 hours worth :-)
What with all the server, tech guy, and payment processor problems, is there a real threat to the future of the
sites or is this just a bunch of annoying problems that don't pose a real threat. Just curious, and nervous at heart.
HypnoGames.com has begun it's server migration. It's switching to ip
address 216.131.69.210 from ip address 216.131.73.143. The process should be relatively painless. However, if you are a HypnoGames subscriber, please be patient
over the next few days while this finishes resolving. If you have any questions or comments, then e-mail me at severed.dreams@gothnexus.com.
HypnoGames will be updated as soon as the migration finishes.
HypnosisFetish.com was updated late last night/early this morning. Expect the new set to start within a few days.
A lot of people have expressed curiosity regarding the most recent updates.
They'll be up as soon as I can get them up, hopefully within 24 hours. My new tech guy didn't work out and I had to fire him. This occured while I was in the
middle of a server migration and out of the country. At the same time I've been having a multitude of troubles with my payment processors. For your curiousity
I'll post a longer more detailed message informing everyone exactly what hell I've been going through for the past week.
I saw the "Nurse Betty" and "Flirtacia" series. I wondered if these will be avalble for home videos. I also
wondered if there are individual pictures from those series as well.
The rest of the Betty set will be held off for a few more days, at which point they'll all be put on at the
same time. We're about to migrate servers, and install the new content management system.
Will there be any new clips for Betty? Things were updating regularly and suddenly they seemed to stop. The
last clip has you dropping her back into trance at the end so are we to assume there is more in the set or is that series over?
For those of you who love Nurse Betty, check out this
link for a new video clip set to music. If you don't know who Nurse Betty is, then definately click on this link!
I like the nurse clips so far...I don't see what's the point into going philosophical on this...the end result
is good I think. I don't think anyone actually thinks she's a nurse or disappointed that she's not...her emotional and physical responses are either genuine or a
pretty damn good make-believe, and that's all that matters...the uniform are just abit of flabouring, and she looks cute in them, so why not.
>>>Everyone is entitled to their opinion Brian, but I must admit that I bristle at the word "Fake." Of course
she's not really a nurse. I really couldn't afford to pay someone with a medical degree to do a session for my site :-) But, the hypnosis is every bit as
legitimate. It's simply a longer running suggestion. You'll understand a little more by about clip 19 or so when I give Betty her head back.<<<
I think I phrased it wrong. The error is mine. What I meant was that an average set like Janeplain or whatever simply has you hypnotizing a girl. There's no
questions that come into mind. But when you do a set up where the girl thinks she's a nurse, and she has a cold standoffish personality (because of the hypno) and
then you hypno the already hypnotized girl into believing herself to be a woman hypnotized to be a nurse who has then been double hypnotized to believe she's a
nurse with one personality which has been altered by the hypno...er...I'm getting less and less clear.
Okay, real simple version: The less I as an audience have to think about the better. Otherwise I am questioning the sets. "Wait, she's acting one way but she's
really another and now she thinks she should act this way...but maybe this is all acting..."
Argh. I am doing a lousy job explaining it. Regardless, I didn't eman to say it was "fake-fake" only that when they get this complex they can "seem" fake (even
though they are not). There. I said it. I'll say it again if i have to (but please don't ask me to). Oy.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion Brian, but I must admit that I bristle at the word "Fake." Of course
she's not really a nurse. I really couldn't afford to pay someone with a medical degree to do a session for my site :-) But, the hypnosis is every bit as
legitimate. It's simply a longer running suggestion. You'll understand a little more by about clip 19 or so when I give Betty her head back.
But, no, to answer your question the format hasn't changed. However, every once in a while I will experiment.
Nice enough set so far (Nurse Betty) but I hope that these themed sets are kept as a rare change of pace rather
then the new format. What I've always enjoyed most about the sets here is that they at times come close to crossing that believable line but never do. Unfortunatly
sets in which you have set up a scenario, such as Nurse Betty, there is no pretense whatsoever. It's fake, and you know it's fake. This doesn't mean it's bad (which
it is not, and I want to stress this is in no way saying the set isn't good) but unlike the Allison or Melenia sets you know that "Nurse" betty isn't really a
nurse, and in all honesty despite so called hypnotic suggestions she is obviously just acting.
Now, I am in no way sticking my thumb down on this set, nor am I saying that scenario's should be done away with. I'm just saying that the real strength of the
older pieces is that they were just girl average getting turned around and upside down (and on) by hypnosis. I'll always prefer sets with names like Lara, Kathy
and Allison to "Playing Doctor with..." or "Nurse..." or even "Gothic..."
Okay for a occational change of pace, but not good for the monthly regular. Just a thought. Just a opinion. As always Hypnosisfetish/Hypno Games remain the best
thing on the menu. Let's keep it that way! : )
My name is Evelyn Parker and I am an American writer and sociologist based in London, UK. My particular field of interest is that of sexuality and specifically
fetishes. I am attempting to have as many people who consider themselves to have a fetish as possible and have them complete a survey I have published on my web
site at http://explainyourfetish.com .
I would be most grateful if you would take a few moments of your time to visit the page and see if you are willing to fill out the survey.

Great. Will that be both hypnogames and hypnofetish with the wmv files included? Looking forward to updates.
The "Nurse Betty" hypnotized set should start today. We've been working on a new content management system for the site, that should be ready to go into
production.
It's been awhile since the last update . . . any idea when we the next? Will it finish Heather, Betty, or Staci or start something new? I hope we'll finish the
open sets soon.
I was wondering will you ever be bringing back the tri-weekly polls that you had on the old hypnofocus site? I
always thought they added a fun interactive twist to the site.
Da Frog, That's an interesting suggestion. I like it.
On a related note, different subject respond to posthypnotic suggestions differently. I would imagine that for some, this is how they would normally experience
such a suggestion. However, I definately see the worth in explaining it out and phrasing it in such a way that this is how they would experience it.
an interesting thing to see a combined strip+time loss suggestion, meaning, whenever the trigger word is said,
the model will remove an article of clothing, hide it, and when she returns to her original posture it will seem to her no time has passed from the moment the
trigger was said, and the piece of clothing seem to disappear from her body magically.
Great idea Brian - both of you :-) I'll keep them in mind.
As some of you may have noticed, there's been two major changes at HypnoGames.com.
First it looks different on the public part. I've recently learned some new techniques and have improved some of my graphic design skills. Also, I've been working
with a talented photographer, so I actaully had some good still images to work with (as opposed to just a still taken from video). These two things have caused me
to want to change the design a little bit. The timing was inspired by...
Second, I've changed my primary processor to AC Pay. To quote from my members area:
I've switched the processor over from ibill to AC Pay. For those of you who read HypnoFocus, there should be no question why I did this. However, I'll summarize
again for those who don't.
After nearly 3 years with i-bill, paying them a rather hefty fee - I might add, i-bill started to become really really flakey. Several of my long term projects
had to be cancelled or delayed, going as far back as last September. Furthermore, they neglected to pay me on a timely manner over the Christmas holiday,
essentially costing me a badly needed holiday, as well as continuing to delay several projects. Since then, they have continued to only get worse. Even though
I'm in Canada, they've insisted on processing me through their Europe division, which lead to even further payment delays, and a continued deterioration of
service. The straw that broke the camel's back was when they announced they would be unable to process VISA for companies, such as my self, out of Canada.
Companies in several other countries, including Liechtenstein, are still okay though.
Anyone who has a recurring membership through i-bill, and is not using VISA, should experience no interruption in billing or service. Although I would recomend
cancelling that account, and resigning up through the new AC Pay interface, as it is cheaper :-).
So the plus side is that HypnoGames is now cheaper on the initial sign up and cheaper on the recurring membership.

picked which one it will be yet. So if you are dying for Heather to finish, let me know. Otherwise if you totally can't wait to see what Betty does next let me know
that too!"
Both of the above. :-) Actually, I am one of the ones who prefers that any "open" or "unfinished" sets get finished before starting on new ones. If there's more
Heather footage, then I'd like to see it finished as well as the Betty material before you start on the next girl from the Spring Trip or any of the recent new
additions . . . unless you're going to finish sets concurrently (that would be even nicer).
In any case, it's your site . . . put the pieces up in the order you prefer . . . as long as the updates stay current and regular (with the file formats we like
kept online - the multiple file formats is a great feature and we appreciate it), we're likely to be happy. :-)
Brian - http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/hypnosis/index.html
Looking forward to the new sets. Everything keeps getting better and better over here. Some suggestions/ideas
for future fun:
1) I'd love to see a combo suggestion of lust/verbalization. What I mean by this is that not only would one of the girls start feeling more and more horny, but
she'd have a suggestion to verbalize her thoughts. The best part would be if she didn't know why it was happening, so we'd get comments like "Whoa...you are looking
REALLY sexy right now. I don't know why I'm feeling so horny." Embarrasment over realizeing she's talking out loud. "I can't believe i just said that!" The
suggestion could use some smoothing over, but you get the general drift.
2)Fill a tequila bottle with tap water. Hypno a girl into believing the tap water is in fact tequila. It looks, smells, tastes and has the same effects. Then hypno
her to feel a compulsion to take a shot eveyrtime you say some word (I don't know, BUTTONS or whatever). Casual offers of a shot of tequila would probobly be
kindly declined, but then the right sentence would make her change her mind. Good way to play with "drunken" girl, and also a thrill because she's not really
drunk, but only hypno into thinking she is.
3)It would be interesting to see a girls memories stripped away to change her opinion on something (something sexual, of course). You ask a girl about something she
won't do, when she tells you the reason you then remove her memory of the reason temporarily. For example:
"Want to go on a date with me?"
"I've got a boyfriend."
"You forget you have a boyfriend. You don't have a boyfriend"
"Oh...well uh...I don't think I should date someone I work with."
"You forget you've been hired by me. We only know eachother as friends."
"Oh...well...I guess there's no reason..."
Lousy example, but you get the idea.
Several times a week, people will ask me how I find women to hypnotize. More often than not, I will say that I
just try to lead a cool life and keep out there.

I've got the windows media format files up for the Stacy set on HypnoGames and HypnosisFetish. Next set should
start in a couple of days. I haven't picked which one it will be yet. So if you are dying for Heather to finish, let me know. Otherwise if you totally can't wait
to see what Betty does next let me know that too!

I still haven't decided yet on the specific airdate. I'm still playing catchup right now from my last trip, and getting my new tech guy up and running, and some
other things.
I agree that overall I prefer the sets to be done in their entirety. However, at the same time I also think there might be some worth to some variation. The
question is how to accomodate both at the same time. I'm still working on figuring out that one.
I'll keep your vote in mind.

Thanks Brian, I appreciate the kind words. I've been working on the technique, and right now I'm focusing on the tech quality of the material. Once that's taken
care of, I'm looking forward to expanding the variety of hypnosis including some more public scenes, and multiple subjects.
The girls have been pretty hot lately. I've made some arrangments that should keep things moving at a much higher standard in that department.
Hiya, in your preview of your spring trip...
Who was the redhead girl with the white bra? I am looking forward to seeing that video and didn't know what name to look forward to.
Thanks.

Yes, Stacy clips 7 and 8 have been intentionally left off. It was an editorial decision. I haven't renamed the files yet, probably will so that people don't get
confused.
Also, I haven't decided on the air date for the rest of Betty. But what I can say that it was my best work ever. People who enjoy the Clover personality play (the
Valley Girl vs. The Sexually Repressed Librarian) will enjoy this set a great deal!
The new Stacy set skips clips 7 and 8 jumping from six to nine. Is this on purpose or did the new clips get lost somewhere? The clips are not on the server. Let
us know when the wmvs are up as well. The set looks good.
Great to see you're back and putting things together. Let us know when the wmv files of the new set are up for those of us who use those and when Betty is going to
be finished. Looking forward to the interesting new things you've mentioned.
I've just finished spending a few days in the car travelling cross country. The updates for HypnosisFetish are up (minus the preview picts). HypnoGames will be updated
tomorrow.
The temporary routing problem that made some of my servers unreachable the other night was solved the same night.
The update that I was hoping to get up last night for hypnogames and hypnosisfetish isn't ready yet. I'll keep
everyone posted as soon as I have more information.
Also, the company that I have HypnosisFetish hosted at is having networking issues right now. They haven't given me an ETA on when that will be fixed.
The rest of the updates on HypnosisFetish.com will update shortly.
I'm back travelling again, but the new series from the spring trip should probably start on Wednesday or so. Also, I'm getting my tech person going on working on
some projects for the sites, and one of the biggies will be to create an auto updater for HypnosisFetish much like the one on HypnoGames.com
When will the update for HypnosisFetish likely come online. The hypnogames site seems to be ahead of us on
Betty footage again. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Your information is a little out of date. All things being equal the two sites have roughly the same update schedule. The only difference is that the automated
code to do it doesn't exist yet on HypnosisFetish, so I have to do it by hand, which means sometimes there's some lag.
For more information regarding the evolution of HypnosisFetish, and why, as well as the demands placed on my time, continue reading this forum.
However, have no fear. I've recently accquired some technical talent that's going to be taking some of the burden of programming off my hands, and fully automating
HypnosisFetish.com will be one of his first tasks.
Why is it that Hypnogames has more of the Betty Set, than Hypnosisfetish.com, From what I understood
Hypnofetish would get the complete set, and hypnogames would be each day a new set.??? Something doesnt seem right.
Unfortunately, with PayPal's acquisition of E-bay, their policy has changed to be in line with E-bay's. This end is in sight, however, the exact details of when
and how are still up in the air. I'll use it until it gets shut off, which could be tomorrow or could be never. Who knows?
To make matters worse, i-bill has been acting up again, and in an unspecified amount of time (30 to 60 days projected) will also be unavailable to me due to some
strange new policies that they are implementing.
These matters, occuring simeltaneously but for different reasons, has been a drain on my resources and attention. However, I've acquired some technical talent that
has experience in setting up online processing systems, and am currently searching for a more direct solution to my billing needs (I'm sick and tired of third party
billing solutions).
I don't anticipate any delays or interuptions in my ability to process payments, and am hoping that the new solution will be implemented before the old solutions go
offline.
Aaron, on Pete's Girls it was just announced that Paypal is no longer accepting adult entertainment business. Have you heard anything to that effect? If true, how

Hi all :) Having found warpmymind.com through sheer luck, I've now come across yourselves, and it's all
interesting stuff. I was wondering if anyone has ever had any kind of degree of success with the temporary feminization mp3s through trigger words. Is it worth
perservering with these, or are they merely to provide a fetishistic thrill? I'd love to know how anyone here has ever got on with such things. Thanks!
I just discovered this list. Nice. I have been involved with Hypnosis (and NLP) for a couple years now. I am have my CHT cert, but I don't do it as a career.
However I do run a large Hypnosis practice group in the San Francisco Bay Area called Sleepwalkers. If any of you live in the Bay Area and want a resource by which
you can improve your hypnosis abilities, then please sign up on our yahoo group. That is where we announce all our practice meetings. We haven't yet empasized
erotic hypnosis, but a number of the members including myself do hypnosis with our partners.
Our focus is on truly learning to be comfortable wielding power as a Hypnotist, and our members are often surprised at how much they have learned by attending the
weekly practice meetings. You do the work, you will learn.
I am currently involved in a personal research project to use hypnosis with the power exchange community here in the Bay Area. I hope this list will be a useful
resource in that project.

Yes, the trip was most excellent. I had the opportunity to hypnotize several ladies, both for the website and for personal enjoyment. I also had the opportunity
to work with some people in a professional capacity as well.
Plus, while I did continue to do a lot of the old favorites, I also got a chance to experiment a bit as well. You'll see what I mean as you watch the Betty series.
The first part hints at what you'll find in the second part. The preview picture also has some clues :-)
Brian also wrote, "I really like the "preview photo" format. The size of the click-thru photos are perfect as well. Have you considered adding a photogallery
section similar to your old ones archived on the site?"
Which preview photos are you referring to? The ones on the spring trip page? (Just want to be sure).
There's actually some cool stuff on the horizon for still images... The main reason why there hasn't been much done in that department is because for the last year
it's been pretty much me and my video camera person (sometimes just me!). That of course didn't leave a whole lot of room for still images. Plus, I don't like a
whole lot of flashes going off while I'm filming. However, on the trip, I had the pleasure of working with a very talented photographer, so I actually have some
still images. I haven't decided yet exactly how that's going to be incorporated yet. Now I'm just rushing to catch up on some much needed editing and site
updated. If everything goes well (and I see no reason why it shouldn't), there should be about a months worth of updates in the system by the weekend.
I'm working to close the gaps in the updates... I've got the footage, now the bottleneck is the software it's self. I'm working with a tech guy to develop some
new software that should smooth things out in that department as well.
Brian also wrote,"Does this mean the Gothic Heather series is done? It seems to stop in the middle of an effect. Will we be seeing more of her or is that set

Actually the ending is a bit abrupt because I got so caught up in what I was doing, I didn't notice the cameraman frantically waving to get my attention to let me
know that the tape was nearly up. There is more footage with some more cool stuff on it. I just haven't edited it yet. I'm not sure when the exact airdate of
that footage will be.
It's been wild and crazy and there's still more stuff coming down the pipe. This summer is going to be fun!
The Gothic Heather series has been great, so it was worth the wait for the wmv files. If this is an indicator, then your springtrip seems like it was very

To explain a little better what happened, an opportunity had presented its self at the last minute, and I found myself on the other side of the continent
hypnotizing the sexy ladies (see the teaser above). However, I recently upgraded my editing system to a Apple Macintosh PowerBook G4 (Absolutely love it, by the
way) and now do all my video editing using Final Cut and QuickTime.
However, once I overcame jet lag, the first thing I did was to get the Gothic Heather clips processed and uploaded. Which brings us up to date.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who was put out by the temporary format change of the new material.
The new series should start either tonight or tomorrow. Be on the lookout for Betty!
How about seeing about getting a group of girls together . . . at least three (since you've already done a
couple duets now) but preferably five or even more and playing around with some of the suggestions types similar to what is going on in the "Unknown Japanese.asf"
at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hypnopicsofasiangirls/files/ in which a group of "Japanese Women Are Hypnotized To Think Loud Noises Are Sexy" and then instructed
to compete in a race with guys blaring off loud noises the whole time. A group piece like that or . . . just a group with different suggestions . . . would be a
lot of fun for the girls, for you, and for your loyal viewers. :-)

Hi, saw the preview, looks great... some real nice looking girls for the future. I was just wondering... when
do you expect those girls to be put up on the site? Do you think they are all gong to be put up within a 1 month membership-span? Just curious, thanks for any
response... look forward to your future work.
Brian, WMV format files will be up as soon as I can get my hands on a suitable windows machine to make them.
I'm in my remote lab, and am surrounded by Macs. Rest assured that generating WMVs is a priority to me.
Heh... you guys are insatiable. I'm glad the previews look good to you, and believe me it's some exciting stuff...
In message News #12, Exile said "I'm in the lab, editing picts and videos, and cranking out updates. You can

Wonderful! Does this mean we will finally get some WMV versions of the new Gothic Heather set? Yeah! When? The mov files for that set aren't working on my
system. I find the wmv ones to be my best bet.
The thumbnails look great so I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
The new peek gallery for the spring trip looks pretty good. Of course, now we're all going to want to see that new footage now, now, now, or sooner. :-) It looks
like you've had a fruitful trip.

Jenny, there are a lot of things you can do . . . the most effective would be to find someone who is an experienced hypnotist to work with you in person. Barring
that, you might give the MP3s at http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/DRTRC/index.html a go as the primary conditioning piece relies on multiple inductions and
reinforcing a trigger word which you should find works quite well. Once conditioned, use the supplemental pieces for more direct experiences. If you simply want
to test posthypnotic suggestions then you could always try EMG's stuff at http://www.warpmymind.com albeit most of his material is very very very graphic and you
won't want just anyone to trigger you (although some of the files are a LOT of fun). There are MP3s at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnoWolfLair as well. I
would still suggest the best course of action is to go to an in-person hypnotist in your area (if you're not sure about it, see if you can volunteer for a stage
hypnotist show - then you'll definately know what the experience is like).
All the best,

thing, check out this link.
The other night a I went out with a friend to photograph and video tape a club night to promote my friend's friend's website
(yeah, friend of a friend).
I've just added the beginning of my newest photoset to HypnosisFetish.com. It's called Hypnotizing Gothic Heather, and you can find it here. There's a lot more coming from that set, and the rest of it will be posted as soon as humanly
possible.
I'm currently travelling to find some cute hot chicks for the site, so I've done the editing in the field. The good part about that is that I can get the clips
edited and up much faster than if I had to wait until I got back to my lab to do it. The bad part is that I can't currently make windows media and real media clips
on my Mac PowerBook. The windows media and real media will be up as soon as possible.
HypnoGames has also been updated with this set, but for the reasons I just mentioned the clips are going to be quicktime. As
soon as I can get the windows media clips created I will replace the quicktime clips on HypnoGames.
There's a whole lot more going on, and all of it is exciting! More details will be posted as soon as possible.
25 years old, and I've finally rented my first porno movie from an adult store. It's not like I haven't seen
them, of course. There have been many years of adult material viewing on my part, reaching all the way back to the early years of "skinamax."
However, yesterday I was in one of the local stores (A rather clean, spatious and well lit one called Facinations) and my friend pointed out a DVD that he had seen
before that might cater to my particular interest. It was called Hypnotic Echoes
There wasn't a whole lot to go from on the box, but I figured I'd take the chance and see if there was anything new out there that I hadn't heard of in the Erotic
Hypnosis Fetish World. A quick visit to the World Wide Web before watching the DVD didn't turn up too much more in the way of details.
So I started the DVD and after the credits rolled there wasn't anything in the way of plot. Hoping that might change, I resized the viewer windows and let it go
along it's merry way.
In all fairness the video quality was good, crystal clear and shot under good lighting conditions. But I was a little disappointed by the lack of any Hypnosis
Fetish. Of course, then again the box didn't really promise any. Just another porn flick with fucking and sucking and stuff. Caveat Emptor.
I guess I'll just have to kick my post production into gear and get a HypnoGames best of DVD out in the mainstream :-)

including Erotic, Stage, Hypnotherapy, Self Hypnosis etc.

We are also looking for ladies intrested in participating in a study of the effectiveness of hypnosis for breast augmentation
Good insight Hypster, that's a great example of a yes set.
Of course, in some cases if they're willing subjects you can in fact tell them that you're going to fast talk them, and while their mind is occupied with detecting
the fast talk, alternate induction methods can be used. This is how some of the confusion / distraction techniques work.
On a similar note from the hypnotizing of the wife...
I've had one successful experience with fast-talking. It's hard to explain, mostly because I was just running on instinct... which is kinda scary, since it really
worked. Basically, it's what car salesmen do - they answer for you, or lead you to answers that they know will elicit the right response.
My experience was basically very fast, very positive logic loops. i.e; they say that they are a trusting person. "So you are a very trusting person" (yes)
"You're comfortable putting your trust in most other people" (yes) "We've known each other for (a time)" (yes) "And in that time, you've come to trust
me." (yes) "Because that's natural for you" (yes) "To trust me." (yes) "With anything" (yes) "It's natural for you to trust me completely"
(yes) *of course, this is a very shortened version of what could take 10 minutes to achieve - take your time, but keep up the pace*
The first statement leads to the last statement, incorporating several key elements: 1. The pace quickens until you hit the final truth, then dead-stops. Tempo
increases, but the tone of voice MUST NOT CHANGE - otherwise, it will be obvious that something is wrong. 2. Even if what you are saying lends itself to rising
inflection, as if you were asking a question, DON'T. Remember, you're prompting for 'yes' answers, without giving them time to think about it, and therefore
planting the 'yes' before they even process the question. 3. Be consistent: I prefer a 'yes' line of talk, because it lends itself to affirmative emotion.
Basically it's this: if a person says 'yes' so many times, it will be natural for them to say 'yes' again even if the response they might have given would not have
been a COMPLETE 'yes'. Remember, small adjustments lead to a final change. 4. DO NOT, under any circumstances, tell them that you're trying to fast-talk them.
Sometimes, if the situation is interrupted, they might ask 'what are you doing?' or 'what's wrong?' - it is IMPERATIVE that this question be defused as fast as
possible. My advice? Start small, start light, and do it only occasionally. Let them grow used to it, and they will stop questioning it in their own mind. In
fact, it will become natural after a time... but at first, have an easy-out prepared if the fast-talk becomes interrupted or otherwise 'caught'.
This works just fine for alert subjects, but I recommend a relaxed atmosphere anyway. As for the talker; relax, focus ONLY on the start and stop points of the
logic loop, and let it FLOW. The less you 'think' about it, the easier it becomes to let your subconscious do the work of 'fast-talking', rather than allow your
frontal lobe to try and process all those words per second.
Here's some advice that I gave to a gentleman over on the HypnoSex list. I'm posting it here as well so more
people might find it helpful.
> I'd like to try to hypnotize my wife (for the first time).
>
> But... if I would suggest to her, what I was up to, she would start
> laughing out loud, because she thinks, that hypnosis is pure nonsense
> and wouldn't work on her.
I've run into this from time to time... Like everything else, there are many possible solutions. For some subjects, a simple change in voice and tone is enough.
A confident "command voice" or "voice of authority" can often subconciously send the message that fun is fun, but now it's time to focus and listen. There are many
examples in life, especially in our formative years where we are conditioned to respond in such a way. That's a good authoritarian approach.
On the other hand, you could go the exact opposite way. Encourage her to laugh. Tell her that she's laughing. Tell her that she feels silly. Create the
impression that what she is doing is because you are saying it. Amplify and push it, speak faster and more intensely, and then work into induction.
Or another approach would be the good old standard reverse psychology induction. Don't listen to my voice. Don't concentrate on my words. Don't breathe deeply...
and so on.
These are just a few options. Hope this helps to lend some insight.
Hey Brian - love your work. I'm a progressing amateur hypnotist (mostly just for fun, parties, and helping
people relax - which is cool)
There have been a few sessions I've done that you might enjoy putting into your next airing:
1. "Mute Button". This is one of my personal favorites, for a few reasons. One, it's VERY fun to watch and improvise with. Two, it's a great gauge to test the
depth of a trance. How it works is this: (A.) Normal induction... 15 minutes of relaxation and progression into a hypnotized state. Mostly just verbal
visualizations and slight physical sensations. (B.) When I get to the progressive relaxation, I use the Edmund Jacobson method of 'breathe, hold, tense,
relax', and progress from the feet to the head. Naturally when I get to the head, they're pretty well relaxed. (C.) Once they're in a state of hypnosis, I
bring them back to the tightening of the mouth. Focus on this, make it real, and tie it to the trigger "mute button". When I drop the trigger, the will find
themselves unable to speak, no matter how hard they try. In fact, the more they try, the harder it becomes, until it is impossible to even make a sound. (D.)
Since relaxation is a part of it, I tie a relaxed and loose mouth feeling to the word "unmute". * I've never done a session where this suggestion didn't work,
and it's usually something of a surprise to the subject when the trigger is dropped nonchalantly enough :)
2. "Amnesia". This one isn't the greatest to draw out, so I usually limit this suggestion to 2 minutes of play-time, then move on. (A.) Normal induction.
(B.) Deep trance. (C.) Once they're completely suggestible, I use a technique of 'folding up' specific memories. Visually, they go in a box, and only I
hold the key. (D.) I tie this folding to a trigger, usually "erase". The sequencing is usually thus: I ask a question. They are compelled to answer. When
they do answer, if I drop the trigger, they will completely lose all knowledge of the subject at hand. * I actually happened on this one by accident when I was
working on a quick way to erase a short-term memory and have repeat-triggers have as much surprise as the first time... worked out nicely!
3. Body part fixation. (A.) yada yada... (B.) Deep trance. Once they're there, I give the suggestion that when they awaken, they will be completely
obsessed with any body part of mine, or another subject's (this is especially fun for the foot fetishist). (C.) I tie a doubling function to a trigger (when I
snap my fingers, that fixation will double and be accompanied by a sense of arousal). * It's always fun to play this off as nothing, or better yet, confront
them on their sudden interest in my left hand.
I've got more, but posting space and time prohibit me from getting them here, now. Email me if you're curious or want to chat about the all-wonderful subject of
hypnosis.
One of my favourite scenarios is the one with the sleeping pill, though it isn't very commonly found. Oh,
another idea... how about using a post-hypnotic suggestion to make her feel the effects of a lullaby? That would be even better
Oh, by the way... feel free to post suggested scenarios to the main message board. We don't really have so
much traffic right now that it's necessary to create a seperate board (more work for me). Obviously if things get really busy in the future then I'll start
splitting the boards.
Well Brian, you'll get a kick out of the session that I did tonight. I did do the glass of water, and it
worked like a charm. We also got some cool confusion as the subject started clucking like a chicken while explaining to me that she probably would be hard to
hypnotize. As far as multiple repitions of "orgasm now." There's two reasons for that, first is so much fun to do - for me, and second because it's so much more
fun to do - for them.
Goth and punk actually wasn't staged, it was just kind of wild and crazy. The two subjects were at very different places in their trances, and it tended to be
disruptive. Actually there's another hour to that session that hasn't made it out of post production due to soundtrack issues. However, with my new Mac, I'm
hoping to be able to solve the soundtrack problems when I get some free time (which won't be fore a while - I'm out on a trip right now).
I agree 100%. I doubt there are few who will argue that the "special" glass of water is without a doubt one of
(if not THE) best and most erotic hypno suggestions. Orgasm now is okay, but it does wear thin after its 900th use. Comming up with ways to make the girls unable
to control themselves is the best direction to go. The key to an "unable to control themselves" or "unclear as to why they are acting in such a way" is the girls
reaction. Making her do nude jumping jacks is all well and good, but I'd like to hear how confused she is as to why she takes off her clothing every time you say
the word "biggle" or why she feels drunk off her ass when she knows she hasn't had a single drink. I don't know how real this stuff is, but that's why it's so
great. While part of me views a photoset like Punk & Goth and can see that it's staged another part of me sees the Alison set and believes in it because she comes
accross as very suggestible and...well...gulible too.
BTW, the suggestion for a suggestion board is a great suggestion!
I think you should make a new "Post" section called "Suggested senarios" or something like that. And while we
are on the subject of new scenes, how about the following.
"Orgasm now" just doesn't cut it for me. I like seeing a girl torn between her rational and sexual sides. Allison and the cup of water, and Allison the sex ed
teacher are two examples of this idea. How about giving a girl a subliminal command to strip and masturbate to orgasm while her conscious mind doesn't know what is
happening and is slightly embarassed and tries to resist. Then you could wake her up and try to have a conversation while she woks herself into a frenzy. Obviosly
if her resistance is too strong you could work your magic to fix that problem =;-)
It's a cool thing to enjoy a plesant evening with good company, and good conversation, and good shisha. It's
an even cooler thing to hear a sexy lady say "I can't believe we made it to four o'clock (am) and you haven't tried to hypnotize me yet."
I've got a friend, who I happened to meet by pure chance one night at a resturant. Shortly after meeting her, I mentioned that I was a hypnotist, and my party and
her party ended up going somewhere where I proceeded to hypnotize her party well into the night.
Anyway, that first night was some time ago, and there have been many other nights since then. And in case your wondering, it's "private life" so there's not going
to be any photos or videos of this particular lady.
So this friend was the one who made the comment in the first line, and that pretty much made it clear to me that I would be performing , which of course was fine
with me... that's what I do.
She's always an interesting one to hypnotize because I think she enjoys testing what my boundries are, by having me test what her boundries are. Plus she makes
cute sounds when I give her a hypnotic suggestion to laugh, and even cuter sounds when I give her a hypnotic suggestion to orgasm.
The absolute funiest moment was when I was doing a yes set, while she was entranced, and working my way into deep and unquestioning obedience, as I lead closer and
closer in that intimate way that you know is just going to lead to multiple orgasms. Then I quickly told her that she was going to be the chicken and wake up snap.
She started clucking, looking around in shock, and ran off to the bathroom, where we heard her continue to cluck for a while. Eventually with a lot of
concentration she managed to squeeze out "you bastard" (playfully) between clucks. Eventually she came back out, with an intense look of strained concentration on
her face, and very carefully said "I believe I've mastered the suggestion, but I still feel it." Unable to resist I quickly used her trigger to put her back into
the trance and told her to bark like a dog - wake up!
It was good comedic relief, because I've got to admit holding her in my arms, pressed up against me, staring into my eyes blankly, with the hypnotize and submissive
tone of voice was definately causing the devil on my shoulder to get a little louder than the angel on my other shoulder. He'll I think the angel was even calling
for some action. However, in this case I decided to ease back and break the sexual tension (where in other case clothes would start coming off).
Just thought I'd share that with you all.... (not to mention using it as an excuse to use the new post message algorithms that I wrote the other night)
This is the first message announcing the enhancements that I've programmed into the message program. Now, when
you hit the post button, you'll get a blank box. This box recognizes the enter button.
After that, just click on the preview button to see what the message will look like. Then you can choose to revise your message or submit it for moderation.
Yes, you will be able to edit your member profiles. I wrote most of the code for that last night. However, before I can implement it, I'll need to finish writing
the login routines to make sure that you can only edit your own profile :-) [... and also to make sure that you can't edit other people's profile, or view a few of
the private fields.]
I am working on a nicer display routine for the entire user list, as well various sorting mechanisms. First I need to decide what relevant extra fields will be
added... such as hypnotist / Subject [y/n] fields, and BDSM related fields, etc. Right now you're seeing changes as they're being made, right on the cutting edge
of development. I appreciate feedback as I develop that way the creation process can be more dynamic.
Thank you Brian... Both were caused by typos... The error with the clip updating at HypnosisFetish.com came from
putting one too few * in the copy command. The error with the clip descriptions link came from me
accidentally typing the wrong domain. Both have been fixed. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention!
"If there's anything that you'd like to see added to the member profiles, Post your ideas here!" How about
sections for Bio, Interests, Favorite Hypnosis Book/Movie/whatever, and a small photograph (large enough to be viewable but small enough that it doesn't eat your
storage space). Also . . . make the webpage and email URLs live so you can click on them and go to that page or open an email. It would be nice if you included
links to the White Pages or yahoo profiles in the section for instant messaging (so, if I click on your Yahoo Messenger ID, I'll go to the webpage for your Yahoo
Profile or White Pages for ICQ). Make the links open in another browser page so folks don't have to hit back to return to hypnofocus. You might include a link to
the World News Hypnosis stuff as well,
http://cgi.worldnews.com/?template=worldnews%2Fsearch.txt&action=search&first=0&SearchString=hypnosis&Language=Any+Language&mode=and&SortBy=Date_Newest&SearchSize=25&x=28&y=17
Also, could you please impliment carriage returns in the posts and profiles and sigs? It would be nice to have better paragraphing and rudimentary layout
available. :-)
- Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH
The links to the clips for the Playing Doctor series in the Members section at hypnosisfetish don't work for
clip three onward. I get "no such file" errors. The hypnofocus preview link earlier on the news page also doesn't work. - Brian
Will we be able to edit our member profiles? Also, would it be possible to put in some quick navigation
buttons for the alphabet at the top of the page so we can move directly to that section? The long list is kind of cumbersome. Perhaps a couple columns and rows
would look nicer? - Brian
You may have noticed a new option on the HypnoFocus site navigation menu: Member Profiles. This represents a large chunk of the work needed to bring the profiles and membership login
capability from the old system to the new.
In addition, I'll be adding in a few new categories that are more relevant, such as a checkmark box for wanting to hypnotize and wanting to be hypnotized. Also a
few BDSM related checkmark boxes as well. If there's anything that you'd like to see added to the member profiles, Post your ideas here!
And yes, I'm writing code that will fix the password change program, as well as e-mail your password to you in case you forget it :-)
Complete clip descriptions for my newest project, Playing Doctor With Sarah, can be found here. You'll notice that the clip descriptions are pretty detailed and much longer than I've traditionally made
them. Enjoy! [The link in this post has been updated, the first one was a typo]
Mike, Petesgirls.com had a "Don't Panic" notice on their Site News
page for a couple weeks explaining that the site would "disappear"
temporarily while they switched servers. If one takes them at their
word, this is the predicted diappearance and they'll be back up soon.
Mike asks, "Hello , I was wondering , if the hypnosite website Petesgirls.com gone? are they out of bussiness
,or just having problems with their webpage because I just ordered a tape from them , and their website is down..." According to a post on Pete's Yahoo Group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/petesgirlsfeedbackforum the server is being moved. You can always go to that group for updates or email the guys behind the site. I
hope this has been helpful.

Hello , I was wondering , if the hypnosite website Petesgirls.com gone? are they out of bussiness ,or just
having problems with their webpage because I just ordered a tape from them , and their website is down...
You can find my latest project at www.hypnosisfetish.com/doctorplay. It's a session that I did with one of my newest models at my friend's BDSM
dungeon. Specifically this series is called Playing Doctor With Sarah, and is Real Erotic Hypnosis with a medical fetish themed fantasy. More information can be
found here.
This series is 12 clips long and will be playing at both HypnoGames.com and HypnosisFetish.com, with the first clip starting Monday night (March 9th, 2003). They will go up at a rate of one or two a
day, I haven't decided yet. The VHS video is also available at HypnoGames VHS Videos
There's a lot more exciting stuff already filmed and in post production that will be announced at a later time.
However, one thing that's really cool about this set is that it's the first to be done with two digital cameras at different angles and a directional microphone and
edited smoothly together on my new Apple Macintosh PowerBook G4. This cool piece of hardware is the most advanced editing system I've ever had my hands on, and
allows me to do rapidly and on the go, what took me forever, and only at my lab. What this means is faster post production time on new material, and hopefully
finally an end to the technical difficulties that have kept back my VHS Video production.
A woman's place is on her knees
Her gaze lifted up to the man she must please
A woman's work is never done
Her life of submission a prize dearly won
A woman's answer? Always, "Yes"
Obedience is happiness
I know that I've been pretty quiet on this end... That's because a whole lot of exciting things have been
coming together at pretty much the same time on this end. I'll be posting a few messages tonight to try and get everyone up to speed on what's been going on in my
world :-)
This update is the remainder of the Flirticia series, and includes all the erotic content.
Flirticia is a sexy older woman, so if you have any Mrs. Robinson fantasies, she's the one to check out. She's also into BDSM.
This update is pretty exciting because it brings the total time of all the video clips on HypnoGames (and consequently Hypnosisfetish, as they are more or less
mirrored) past the 20 hour mark. Thats right, there's over 20 hours solid of footage in over 400 clips. That's nearly a full day's worth of viewing for a brand
new subscriber! And with nearly daily updates (except for the occassional break between sets) it's also a great deal for the continuing customer. Which of course
is what you've come to expect from the net's longest running and most reliable streaming erotic hypnosis video sites!
In message #145, YFNH asks, "I was just wondering if there were any erotic script archives out there for a beginner to get some good ideas." The short answer is
YES. :-) I have posted a number of erotic hypnosis scripts as have others at the HypnoTranceWrightExchange at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnoTranceWrightExchange - there are at least thirty original scripts written by myself and a larger number by others. There are
also a lot of hypnosis scripts that are not erotic in the same archive. The group is noncommercial and is intended as a forum for exchange of techniques and ideas
for trancework (hypnosis, NLP, guided imagery, and consensual seduction patterns). Members are both advanced and beginners. If you check the resources in an
earlier post on erotic hypnosis for beginners, there are some books you can also check out. I hope this has been helpful. Brian David Phillips, PhD, CH

The site that hosts the Erotic Mind Control Story Archive (ASSTR) is suffering severe technical difficulties,
and will be offline for... well, no one knows how long. Probably several days, at least. Remember, the ASSTR is an all-volunteer operation, and the people running
it can only work on the problem when they have the time to spare.
I've decided to mirror a message that I wrote on the HypnoSex list...
> Ok, well I always liked the "bad guys" in movies that would use hypnosis
> to get people to do what they want, however I do know that you aren't
> supposed to be able to make people do what they don't want, but maybe we
> could test that?
Influence and control over other people to one degree or another is as old as civilization it's self. One would probably encounter little resistance in suggesting
that it's in fact a necessary prerequisite for civilization, and thus is involved at least indirectly in virtually all social interaction, since the rules and
mechanisms of society generally set the stage for all of our interactions.
Evolutionary theory suggests that those who find an advantage and use it, will tend to survive and prosper, unless those who they are competing with find a superior
advantage and use it, of course...
These two ideas provide a good hint at what I mean when I say that it's natural feel this way. However, it might be helpful to keep a few ideas in mind.
First life is not the same as a movie. Suspension of disbelief and escaping from reality is something that people do for recreation, enjoyment, to relieve stress,
and many other reasons. There's value to exploring fantasy.
However, while it's okay for someone to watch a portrayl of "A bad Guy" in a movie, it's not okay for someone to be "A bad Guy" in real life.
Now, I'm sure that you didn't mean that you want to be "A bad Guy," but merely wished to identify with possible desirable traits that that type of character
exhibits, naturally in the absense of the negative traits.
Second, remember, with hypnosis you're dealing with other thinking, breathing, feeling human beings with dreams ideas goals and emotions. They're not computers
with tits (or dicks, if that's the case). They are human beings.
Now, keep in mind, there's varying degrees to the idea of "Not wanting to do something." A mild degree would be along the lines of "I don't want to see that movie
tonight because I'm tired." Which expresses a preference not to do something that under other circumstances would probably be fine. A severe degree would be along
the lines of "I don't want to crawl through that field of broken glass and rusty razor blades." Which expresses a strong desire not do do something, ever, under
any circumstances.
I could devote a lot of time and effort going further in this direction. However, it would probably be sufficient to say that it's generally a bad idea to try to
make people do things that they don't want to do. That there's a whole lot of laws (in North America and Europe anyway) that are pretty clear on the idea that
you're not supposed to, and that you can get into trouble for it.
However, it can be much more profitable to spend one's time understanding instead how one can encourage another to change their beliefs and attitudes. In which
case, someone may be more likely to choose to do something.
This is sort of the breifest form that I can think of to express these ideas quickly, but in a reasonably ordered manner. Each paragraph could take an entire paper
by it's self. :-)

The mechanisms of hypnosis make all of these things possible. The best part about these type of hypnotic suggestions is that all things being equal, none of them
seem to require a person "doing something they don't want to do" to fulfill.
Just a quick update. A lot of people have been requesting it, and now I've done it. The Hypnotized
Fetish-Sluts Archive can be found on HypnosisFetish.com. This archive contains all the pictures from my original adult
check site, fetish-sluts.com/hypno. The Archive is available in the member's only section of HypnosisFetish.com. Of course, if you prefer, the adult check site is still operational too.
The website has been moved to a new server. All my tests at several remote hosts indicate that DNS has propigated. If you're taken to the old site, hit refresh,
you might be seeing a cached copy. If that still doesn't work, you can also get to the redesigned site (for the time being) through http://www.ertoichypnosisfetish.com.
This new webserver has much more dedicated processing power and bandwidth than any of my previous servers, and is the one that I was referring to in the HypnoGames.com Christmas Message.
The new HypnosisFetish.com features all the content available on HypnoGames.com.
Every clip on the site is available in Microsoft Media Format. In addition, many clips are also available in Quicktime and Real Media formats. In time, it is the
plan to re-import older footage using my newer technology to clean it up and also provide it in Quicktime and Real Media formats in addition to the Microsoft Media
player format.
Many people have requested more preview capability outside of HypnoGames.com. I developed a way of doing this for the initial
experimental phase of HypnosisFetish.com and have come to like it. Now, all clips and all sets have their description and
preview pict, and file size and time information available in the preview section, so that you know exactly what's inside.
Additionally, I've set up the navigation so that it's easier to view the clips by set.
There are plans right now to clone all my existing erotic hypnosis AVS pict sites inside HypnosisFetish.com.
In addition, because paypal charges so much less, and also because I've been wanting to lower the prices now for a while to reward my long time subscribers, the new
cost for all this is 24.95 for the first 30 days (or for a single 30 day membership) and 19.95 for each additional 30 days for recurring memberships. It's my hope
that this will make the site more accessable to new subscribers, and also to make it easier for my loyal long time subscribers to keep their memberships active.
There's been a lot of exciting things in the works over here, and while there have been a few set backs, most noticibly with my difficulties getting i-bill to
fulfill their obligations, we are still moving forward and moving strong. 2003 is going to be a great year for the Erotic Hypnosis Fetish.
HypnoGames.com will still be operational in it's current form, and through i-bill and updated as per normal for at least the
next couple of months, to ease over the transition for my subscribers, and also for the members of my HypnoGames revshare program. At which point I'll decide and
announce my future plans for HypnoGames.
Anyone with questions or problems can e-mail me at severed.dreams@gothnexus.com
This is a note to let everyone know that I might be a little slow to respond to e-mail over the next couple of
days to maybe a week or so. I've got to go on an unexpected trip down to Florida to speak with i-bill.
Nothing has changed with HypnoGames.com at this point in time. However, it's entirely possible that I may have to change HypnosisFetish.com a little depending on
the result of this meeting.
Long story short, i-bill hasn't paid me in several weeks now, it's it's hurting me. I've got to go and negotiate with them to try and urge them to follow through
with the commitments that they've made with me. If I'm unsuccessful, then I will need to take measures to reduce my losses. The first measure that I'll take, if
it comes to it, will be to essentially make hypnosisfetish.com an exact clone of hypnogames.com, with the difference being in using paypal as my transaction
processor as opposed to i-bill.
I'm also exploring options in regards to bringing the price down if I do switch processors. Currently i-bill takes a large percentage of the fee. Paypal charges
significantly less, so that means I'll be able to lower the prices.
I wanted to avoid doing anything like this, however, outside circumstances are forcing me to take actions to protect my business.
On the positive side, there's still plenty of Amy footage, as well as footage from two other ladies that I have done sessions with. In terms of material, we're
stronger than we've ever been. So, once I've settled this business issue, we'll be moving forward in some realy cool ways.
At this time, I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on any issue either mentioned here, or in general. Regardless of the outcome there's going to need to be some
changes and some restructuring, so in order to provide the best service possible, I need as much feedback as I can get.
Please direct feedback to private e-mail at severed.dreams@gothnexus.com .
i have been directed by My Lady Inamorata to let you know that She is creating a new web site designed to highlight hypnoerotic fiction. This i to be part of Her
Web of Passion (http://www.webofpassion.com). She has directed me to send you an invitation to participate in this new venture. If you are a writer interested in
contributing fiction to this new site, please contact me. This promises to be an exciting new meeting place for hypnoenthusiasts. i hope you will consider joining
in.
Yours sincerely,
greg,
servant of My Lady Inamorata
Just wanted to say that the review of Kathy I sent/posted is out of date because at the time I wrote it I
assumed the set to be finished and there were several more video clips. I now give it an A because the last few clips really impressed me (biggest points go for
the drunk suggestion, as that is a fav of mine). So please disregard former grade and consider the set to be the usual A.
I've posted a quick "teaser" update on HypnoSlave.com. This update is a
couple of thumbnails (that you can click on for fullsized pictures) of an Erotic Hypnosis session that I did with a submissive in a friend's BDSM dungeon yesterday.
I'm doing a few more sessions today, that also will have a BDSM theme to them, and afterwards will be spending some time to get HypnoSlave up and going.
This is a message that I got about a month ago. It got shelved, and I just remembered it while replying to
another message from the same author. Now that the message board is working again, I've decided to post it.
Of course, having said that, remember, this board is moderated. Feel free to discuss my work as much as you'd like. Just remember that I'm going to feel equally
as free to decide whether or not to approve post moderations. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course, but that doesn't make me obligated to moderate
anything that I feel violates the rules. (The rules appear above the posting box, they're pretty straight forward).
Also, keep in mind that the following reflects Brian's opinion, and not those of the staff's.
*****************************************
In an effort to boost discussion and improve communication between management
and customer, I thought an occasional in depth review of the current Hypnogames
set would be a nice idea. Unfortunately the posting is disabled, so I figured
I'd just email it right to the top. : ) I am assuming the Kathy set has
ended. If not, well, we're probably really close anyway...
KATHY
The strengths: Sexy Stockings, hands down. This reminds me of Alison and
her "glass of water" only you can never top a classic. I definitely don't
see Kathy's inward reaction as failure, sure I would have loved to hear
her stifle a moan or two and loose control, but it was still without a doubt
the most erotic moments of the set.
The weakness: Those naked Olympics just went on and on didn't they? Oy.
A noble attempt, but I've found "role-playing" on such an intense interactive
level (having the girl think shes someone/something else) never works well.
Probably because I know that when you "interview" her in this supposed altered
state what it really comes down to is the ability of the girl to improvise
on the spot...not a smooth road to travel down. "A" for effort, but you
should have branched out with other material.
Special Kudos: You've finally solved the sound problem, my ears thank you
from the bottom of their...drums I suppose. : )
Special Non-Set Related Kudos: Special props to programming the computer
to place a new clip each day like clockwork. What with great sound and reliable
delivery I'm surprised my monthly fee hasn't gone up (oops, shouldn't have
said that!).
Other items of interest: Although I haven't yet shelled out cash for Hypno
Fetish (up until this month the sets mirrored Hypno Games so I saw no point)
I now am interested enough almost to the point of subscribing (next months
set will be the tie breaker). The set showing there looks very innovative
and very erotic. You're just on a roll this month aren't you?
Overall grade of Kathy: B++. Would have been an A if those Olympics had
ended five minutes earlier and we'd been given some boob related suggestions.
; )
Hi Lewis! I'll answer your question in this HypnosisFetish.com Update.
I've just updated HypnosisFetish.com. The newest set can be previewed by clicking here. It features, Amy, the lady that I hypnotized last Friday. We've got good lighting (a little too
good sometimes, it was a little rough for her to open her eyes after having them closed for a while) and a working directional microphone. It's also shot on my
newest camera that does a much better job of handling white balance than my old camera. In terms of technical production aspects, it's the most advanced shoot that
I've done to date.
Because it is a screener video, and doesn't feature nudity, I will also be adding the Alicia Screener set as well. It will be up in a few days, as soon as I get
the clips converted to Quicktime and Real Media. That set will be added no later than the 20th. It also doesn't feature nudity. The two sets together will
represent about an hour and 40 minutes for of footage. Also, Alisica is the girl who was the Goth in the Goth and Punk set.
The currently playing sets are always listed on the HypnosisFetish.com Homepage. The listing also features links to a
complete clip description and thumbnail preview image for the entire set.
Also, I've now got my Real Media problems straightened out, so the Real Media clips for Kathy should be up in the next few days.
Keep in mind that HypnosisFetish.com is still somewhat experimental, and every month will be a little different from before. The data that I get helps me to decide
how it's going to evolve over time. Feedback is always welcome. If it's positive post it to HypnoFocus.com, I like to see positive feedback. If it's feedback on
ways that the site can improve, I would prefer to see that in private e-mail.
Do you think hypnofetish be updated during this first half of the month, or the second half? I only ask
because I'm going away for the holidays and might miss the update if its more towards Christmas.
Whoah! According to this
article at the Washington Post, Keanu Reeves will be starring in an indie movie called "Thumbsucker," an adaptation of
the Walter Kirn novel. Evidentally this movie is about some guy whose thumbsucking habit is cured through hypnosis.
I'm not really sure what to say about this one. I think my gun instinct is to cringe. Then again, I could never quite get myself to rent "The Curse of the Jade
Scorpion," either...
Just a quick FYI for anyone who likes to know about these things...
I'm scheduled to do an Erotic Hypnosis video shoot for HypnoGames.com in about 4 hours.
Everything is lined up, and it's looking good... However, wait for my next post to say whether it went through or not. These things are never a done deal until
they're over with.
Also, I've noticed that sometimes it's down briefly when it gets updated. Also when ASSTR is under heavy traffic. There's a link on the
EMCSA for donations, that goes to help out with that sort of thing. If you enjoy the site, I recomend sending them a few bucks. They accept paypal.
Exile brings up a couple of good points...actually, he's brought up more than a couple, but that's another website....
One of the implicit points is the illusion of power that hypnosis provides...it is (imho) a collaborative effort, even when the best subjects bring only the deep
seated belief that you, the hypnotist, will control their minds. It is a power trip, but it is only a journey. When you look for hypnosis to become the
destination instead of the journey, you no longer are creating relationship. The "absolute power" of any hypnotist over a subject is the alignment of two human
wills.
In other words...it's great fun to play with real hypnosis, so long as all parties involved understand that it's play. I know I'm preaching to the choir a little
here, but for newbies to MC, I don't think it can be overstated.
I have gotten to the archives pretty easily by using the link within Exile's msg # 91 farther down the message board. BTW, Exile, I'm pretty new to your websites,
and have found it to be a good resource to other links. Nice to find other MC/Hypnos people out and about.
Hi there. Is it just I who can't get into the erotic mind control stories archive these days? I used to go
there a lot maybe 3 years ago, and the links are still there, but I keep getting "host not found." Thanks for your help if you know anything about it.
Would you tell us a little bit about feminization through hypnosis? A number of HypnoFocus visitors are here for the first time, and some may not know exatcly what
it is.
There are basically two extremes of thought on this matter...
The first extreme will tell you that hypnosis is a powerful thing that renders the subject completely and totally at the whim of the hypnotist. Therefore, hypnosis
is a dangerous thing because it is a powerful thing, and hypnotists must therefore be properly indoctrinated and controlled.
The second extreme will tell you that hypnosis is a completely natural thing, that is integrated into virtually everery aspect of our lives. That we cannot make it
through a single day without entering a trance hundreds of times, and that virtually everything we do, ranging from reading a book to watching a movie to thinking
about the future puts us into a trance. However, this is nothing to worry about, because it all comes from within, and ultimately the subject is in complete
control, and its as rediculous to consider the possibility of hypnosis being dangerous as it is to consider the possibility of thinking being dangerous.
Naturally, as in virtually all things, the answer is somewhere in the middle. And I could go on all night arguing for both sides, inching in towards the middle
point where my personal belief is at.
Having said all that, I think it's great that you and your girlfriend are interested in trying hypnosis. I've found that hypnosis is an excellent tool to use to
understand how a person thinks, feels and is motivated. Understanding is a cornerstone for a strong and fulfilling relationship. As long as you both are into it,
and are looking to have a good time, there really should be nothing to worry about.
There are many resoures on the Internet. After I'm done writing this, I'll add some resources in the HypnoFocus Links
Section on basic "getting started" type resources. In addition, you can use this website as a means of asking questions and getting different points of view.
There's still a whole lot that we don't know about the human mind. That's why it's always a good idea to get as many points of view as possible, then make your own
decision about what you accept and what you don't. Until someone invents a "brain tricorder" it's going to be hard to point at the chalkboard and say "This is how
it is... period." (Am I letting my time in the philosophy department studying the philosophy of science show?).
Also, if you check out HypnoGames.com, you'll find another website that I run. It's got well over ten hours of
streaming video that covers full erotic hypnosis sessions with some lovely ladies.
Your local public library also contains a wealth of knolwege. Read a few books and then decide for yourself wheter you want to go the schooling and certification
route or whether you want to go the "social hacker" route.
Hello ... I was looking for resource into preforming basic hypnosis...is it possible to learn with out
schooling and certification?..if so where,who,how....I ask because me and my girlfriend have become interested in trying hypnosis in our relationship email me
cypherkil@hotmail.com
Thanks for fixing this board. I've had hopes that it would develop
into another communication outlet for the Hypno/MC "community" and
was disappointed to see it disappear for over a month.
I've implemented the new post moderation system, so you can start posting again... Keep in mind to exercise
good judgement, and read the rules before posting, otherwise I won't approve your post, and it will never make it on the board.
Also, keep your eyes open for improvements on HypnoFocus, such as the new Erotic Hypnosis Glossary system.
I've implemented it based upon common questions that people have. It's still a work in progress.
I'm taking care of a bunch of stuff right now from my terminal. As a consequence of this, I'm available more
often than I have been in the past.
You can reach me via e-mail at the following addresses:
severed.dreams@gothnexus.com (best)
exile@gothnexus.com (slower response time)
There's a whole bunch of cool stuff in the works. Lots of upgrades in progress, lots of new women being hypnotized. Stay tuned for more information!
HypnoGames.com has been updated, and the system has been
programmed to do daily updates for quite some time now. Check out Kathy, she was a whole lot of fun to work with!
Post pulled. The rules clearly say no Flames/Piss, and be respectfull.
Hypnofocus.com is not anyone's private soapbox.
From now on, this system is going to be moderated. I wanted to avoid doing this, but one or two people with poor impulse control has ruined it for everybody.
The following posts by me probably make a lot more sense if you read them in reverse order. If you don't feel
like reading them, they can be summarized like so:
My erotic hypnosis sites are doing well, things are moving forward, life is good, have patience, and remember that this is all being done by one person. Cool stuff
is in development, and the stuff that you've come to love and expect will continue to come along as well.
I know that sometimes people look forward to something so incredibly much that they can become a littel disappointed if it takes a little longer than expected. I
don't take it personally, but try private e-mail first next time. However, the main reason why I addressed this here, instead of deleting the post is that I'm sure
lots of people were curious about this information.
Regarding Email Responses...
Some people have written me wondering why sometimes I respond to their e-mail almost instantly and sometimes it takes
a while. There are several reasons for this.
Generally, all else being equal, I try to deal with every e-mail I get as soon as I get it. However, things are seldom
equal, and sometimes I have to prioritize. When I do this, e-mail goes into one of two categories: Bad Things That
Need to be Fixed Immediately and Everything Else. Sometimes, if there's a whole lot of things competing for
my attention, e-mail that gets categorized as Everything Else can spend a little time in my in box. Generally I
do get caught up. However, if there's something that you're waiting on, send me a quick note asking if there's any
hold up on your issue. Multiple e-mail spaced over time will get my attention better than multiple e-mail sent all at
once.
When I'm travelling, this all goes double, as my ability to deal with things immediately gets reduced. However, this
is a necessary evil, as traveling is one method that I use to find exciting new women to hypnotize and video tape.
Generally, the safest bet is to assume that I am extremely busy (which is generally the case) and wait patiently for a
reply. If you don't get one in a reasonable amount of time, ask again.
Regarding Erotic Hypnosis DVDs...
A number of people have written me asking for information about HypnoGames Erotic
Hypnosis DVDs. Currently VHS Video Tapes are available. Well, as luck
would hve it, I've recently gotten my hands on a DVD burner, and have started to experiment with this possibility. Of
course, I still plan on having the finish product professionally duplicated, as I learned a long time ago that home
duplicating video is not a fun way to spend one's time, and that it's just simply better for everyone to have it done
by a professional.
One of the coolest things about the DVD format, is that it makes it possible to package the content differently on
the same disk.
Expeirience has taught me that HypnoFetishists tend to enjoy their fetish in a wide variety of different ways. Some
fetishists prefer to see everything, uninterupted, beginning to end. On the other hand, others want a fast paced series
of clips that get to the point of the action. This is difficult to do with the VHS format, but is quite easy to do with
the DVD format.
When should you expect these to start becoming available? Good question, ask me again later. Already there's not
enough hours in the day, and I'm still scratching the tip of the iceberg... Heck, there's several sessions that
haven't even been released on VHS at of this moment in time. Which accounts for an entirely different series of
e-mail inquires...
HypnoGames.com has new content filmed, and is currently in post production.
I've been working with multiple cameras on my shoots, and this was the first one that made use of a brand new external
microphone designed to enhance the sound quality, and provide for a better pickup from the subjects (It's kind of hard
to mount a lapel microphone on the subject, when they tend to take off their clothes). Unfortunately there was a bit of
a technical difficulty with the new piece of equipment, and I'm still puzzling out the solution. However, the cool thing
is that even if it takes me all day to handle a clip, as long as I can do it at the rate of one a day, HypnoGames.com is fine. I've just finished with the update to HypnosisFetish.com, so I can divert as much attention as possible
to HypnoGames.com.
The next set to HypnoGames.com features a brand new woman that hasn't been
featured on any of my sites before. She is a tall blonde, and was a lot of fun to work with. The session is heavy
on stage hypnosis type stuff including orgasms, animals (including chicken, billy goat and parrot, among others), as
well as other cool stuff. You can expect the first clip from this series to show up Friday or Saturday. Dont' panic,
there will be a few placed up to take care of the last couple of days dry spell.
As far as update frequency goes, compared to a year ago, there's been a huge increase in frequency. Generally there's
an update at least every other day, if not daily. It's true that there are sometimes dry spots that in some cases last
even as much as a week. However, generally I post a few extra clips when possible to make up for this for our long time
members. However, for the bulk of my members, who are one time, or infrequent subscribers, who have access to nearly
two years of material, representing something on the order of 12 hours, I must admit that I don't get all that incredibly
worried if a few days go by without an update.
In the early days I aimed for about 30 minutes of new footage of month. I believe right now we're exceeding that nicely,
as well as providing a rather sizable library of past footage.
Continuing along the theme of the post I just made regarding HypnosisFetish.com,
the idea of someone not getting their value's worth from HypnoGames.com is
laughable. However, I do understand that when people post messages like these, their intentions are to get my attention,
so that they can get more clips. Well, you've got my attention, loud and clear, and more clips are on their way. So
sit back and enjoy.
Long story short, HypnoGames.com has been around for nearly two years.
The system is established, and the content is cool. There's a wealth of footage there, with more being added constantly.
Does this make it a sweet deal for new subscribers? You bet. Is there value to continuing to support the site, yes.
In the end, is it your choice whether you want to support and enjoy the site or not. You bet.
HypnosisFetish.com has been updated for this month.
The clip list is here, for those who are interested.
This series is lite on the stage stuff and heavier on the mental and physical hypnosis stuff. If that's your cup
of tea, go for it. If not, wait a few more days for the new series on HypnoGames.com to appear. That series features a different woman, who hasn't
appeared yet on any of my sites, doin all sorts of cool stage type stuff.
I've updated the policy of HypnosisFetish.com to reflect that
new series will appear on or near the 5th of the month, with about a five month window in either direction. This could
easily be reread as one series a month, showing up towards the beginning of the month. There are many reasons for this,
the primary one being that I am a very busy person (read the other posts near this one if you're not sure why). Another
good reason for this follows in the next paragraph.
Some of you may remember (or who scroll down on this page into messages from the past, message 28 for example) that HypnosisFetish.com is somewhat experimental, and always will be.
If this makes you uncomfortable, you might want to stick with HypnoGames.com
where the format is a bit more extablished, and things are a lot more predictable. HypnosisFetish.com is where I do all my experimental stuff. Stuff
like multiple file formats, larger bit rates, different types of content, etc. This month, the primary new experimental
thing is multiple camera angles. Don't care for the angle or the sound coming from the clip, try a different one and
see if you like it better. Feel like looking at the model? Stay head on. Want to watch the hypnotist and go along for
the ride? Try the side view. Want to be a fly on the wall and go wherever you want? Try the roaming camera. Is it
going to be perfect the first time? No, but it's a step forward.
As far as the value aspect goes. It always makes me want to laugh when I hear someone say something along the lines of:
"I'm seeing that neither are worthy of the cost, unless you've never been there before." HypnosisFetish.com was originally designed to be one series a month,
rotating every month, and eventually end up in 12 month infinite loop rotation. However, I'm too proud of my work to want
to take it down, so that means that every moth the value gets better for the new customers. Naturally, I could make
older customers jump through hoops to see series that they've missed before joining, however, I'd prefer to just let
people enjoy stuff that's already been created and focus on creating new stuff. I really enjoy my work. If you enjoy
the footage, and want to support it's continued creation, renew your membership. If you're not happy with it, then don't.
It's that simple.
I'm working on the update as we speak. It should be online at some point Tuesday, although it might take a few extra days for the quicktime version to get online
as I have misplaced my registration key, and need to call up Apple to get it re-sent to me.
HypnoGames will also start it's new photo set within the next couple of days.
Both sites will feature new models from my most recent trip. I'll post more information on this after the update.
Can you please tell us where the Hypnosys-Fetish site's update is?
This is a quote from the site:
"The new update policy for this website will be at the rate of one entire photoset per month, made available on the 5th of each month."
As of yet, there is no update. Please let us know when there will be one.
Will, I agree that you need a strong grounding in regular hypnosis before starting recreational erotic work.
Some good books you can start with are HYPNOTHERAPY by Dave Elman for his wonderful induction and background to it. You might also want to check out Ormond
McGill's NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF STAGE HYPNOTISM for the catalog of approaches and information there. Actually, any good introduction will get you started but I like
these two texts, albeit they are classics.
Once you've got a good grounding, then move on to texts specific to erotic hypnosis. Here are a few:
Dr. Barbara Debetz and Samm Sinclair Baker. EROTIC FOCUS: THE NEW WAY TO ENHANCE YOUR SEXUAL PLEASURE. New York: Signet, 1985.
Wendi Friesen. HYPNOTIZE YOUR LOVER �DEEPER. Wendi Friesen www.wendi.com, 2001.
Peter Masters. LOOK INTO MY EYES: HOW TO USE HYPNOSIS TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR SEX LIFE. Greenery Press, 2001.
Watching videos of others doing hypnosis, erotic or otherwise, will also help you learn techniques as well as see how the theory is applied. Then practice,
practice, practice and go out there and get experience as that's really the best teacher.
You might also want to join the HypnoTranceWrightExchange group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypnoTranceWrightExchange as there are a great many erotic scripts
for hypnosis and guided imagery posted to that list as well as non-erotic material.
My sig has a few of my webpages which you may or may not find useful.
I hope this has been helpful.

All else being equal, I would say that there is a greater chance. However, there are no magic words and no
gurantees. Like everything else you need to read the fine print.
So if I tell them they won't remember, and then while hynosised I renforce it by telling them again they won't
remember, theres a greater chance of them forgeting? or would this accomplish nothing.
It's generally a good idea to take any statistics associated with people with a grain of salt. Memory
manipulation (Forgetting the session, ingoring/replacing old memories, fabrication of new memories) is something that is possible in hypnosis. Some people will
enter a session with the expectation that they won't remember. Other people will not remember if you tell them they wont. Other people will remember under most
circumstances and will be difficult to engage in any memory manipulation. It also depends on the level of rapport, trust, suggestibility of subject, and a wide
variety of standing and instigating factors. I'm sure this raises more questions than answers :-)
Hello Will, Your best bet to learn erotic hypnosis is to get a firm grounding of the principles of "normal"
hypnosis. Then gently ease into the more erotic aspects. There are many means of going about learning the appropriate skills for hypnosis in general, ranging from
a wealth of books, to classes that one can take, to videos of it occuring.
While I've never actually hypnotized someone to go out and hypnotize other people, I have encountered that them before in the literature and in discussions with
other hypno-fetishists.
There's some exciting news, I've hypnotized a couple of new ladies over the last week, and have a few more
scheduled for this week. I'm going to try to get some demo picts and videos up on my sites as soon as possible while the bulk of the video is still in post
production.
The Erotic Mind Control Story Archive has been updated a few
times now, with the last update being a couple of days ago. There's some good stories there, and remember to make a donation to help support it, if you haven't
already!
Have you ever been interested in being a Female model for HypnoGames? Do you know someone who is? Now's your
chance. I'm going to be travelling across the United States through the month of October for just this purpose. E-mail me for more information.
A quick note for HypnoGames.com members. I-bill is upgrading our user authentication software over the
weekend. This is their latest system, and should be a vast improvement over the current registration and authentication system. This should pretty much eliminate
the need for me to create any more accounts manually, and should provide instant access in all cases.
While they have assured me that the procedure should be quick and painless, please be aware that occassionally Murphy's law strikes. There may be intermittent
outages over the weekend.
I try to avoid doing anything that could lead to outages, however this upgrade is an important one and is needed.
If anyone has any questions or comments on this matter, please e-mail me.
Jslay, it is true that the clips on HypnoGames.com streaming video marked Clover 2 also appear on the Clover 2
VHS video. I can see your point. Of course, keep in mind that the vast majority of the online subscribers haven't seen that footage yet.
The new camera that I've gotten allows me to digitally import the original Hi8mm footage, and it cleans up the sound and video quite a bit. I'm really happy with
this camera. Now that it's cleaned up, I'm happy to offer that footage to my subscribers.
Naturally I want to make my long time subscribers and supporters happy. I really appreciate those who buy the tapes and subscribe to the website. Send me your
e-mail address and hypnogames user id and I'll take a look at your account.
I'll post more details about my new camera, and what's going on with the sites tomorrow or the next day.
Are the "Clover 2" clips currently posting at HypnoGames
from the video of the same title, or is this new footage
of Clover? I own the video (recommended, by the way)
and while I would love to see more of Clover, I would
ovbiously rather not pay for something I can already
view for free.
The folks over at HypnoVideo have announced on their Updates Page that they will probably be moving servers soon. They've provided a temporary link here in case the move doesn't go smoothly.
There's an online scammer going around claiming to be from Romania using Hypnosis to predict the lottery and
the stock market. I'm sure that most of you don't need to be told that this isn't possible, and is a rip-off scam. However, I'm posting this anyway.
It looks like I'm going to be doing some travelling in the United States over the next week or two.
Currently I'm planning on being in Las Vegas and Phoenix, with a possible trip to the bay area in California. Then I make my way back to my secret lair in the
north east part of North America.
However, my plans are not laid in stone, and there's a bit of flexibility avialable in them.
So if you've ever been interested in meeting the hypnotist behind HypnoGames, or want to have throw an unusual social gathering, now's your chance.
The way it works is, if I happen to be in the area that you are in, then cool, no problem at all. If I'm not in the area that you are in, then I'd appreciate it if
you would help me get to where you are, and provide hospitality (horse brutality!).
Just noticed that some versions of Internet Explorer has trouble with the posting submit form. (I spend most
of my time in Linux using Mozilla, so generally it takes me a while to catch these things). I'll fix it tomorrow. In the meantime, anyone who needs to post can
e-mail it to me.
I stopped into one of those temporary shops set up to liquidate books, yesterday while walking around town with
my girlfriend. This was one of those quickly thrown together deals, where they rented some unused retail space, got some cheap tables, and just piled in as many
books as they could. The books were the type that didn't do so hot the first time around.
Anyway, while going from stack to stack and not being surprised for one second as to how these books had earned their fate, I came across a stack of book on sleep
learning.
If I would have been thinking ahead, I would have jotted down the name of this book, but I didn't. Essentially it was marketed to parents to use with their kids.
Out of all the chapters, two struck me as immensely funny. The first was on pre-natal sleep learning. Whatever. The second was on adolescent sleep learning.
This was too good to pass up, so I flipped to the chapter.
There was this script in there, where the Mother goes in, and places her forehead on her sleeping son, and talks about how much she loves him, and how proud she is
of him, and a whole variety of positive messages.
Unfortunately, what the book doesn't take into consideration are the two scenarios that I came up with.
Scenario One: Little Timmy isn't so little any more. In fact, the effects of all those hormones have quite caught up with him, and he's learned all sorts of
interesting things to do with his body, while thinking about girls, which had become so incredibly interesting to him all of a sudden. So he's doing "what little
dudes do," and thinking about the hot young blonde in his 4th period class, when all of a sudden Mom comes walking in. Petrified, Timmy is frozen in place and
tries to make his breathing and heart go slowly all of a sudden. Fortunately, Mom being one to believe anything that's she's told, is a bit slow and doesn't
notice. She walks up to Timmy and places her hand on his head and starts talking about how much she loves him and how proud of him she is. Meanwhile, Timmy is
still clutching his wang in his hand trying to keep his breathing slow and his heart from pounding out of his chest. Meanwhile all this crazy stuff she's saying is
totally wierding him out, and isn't helping one bit. This goes on for a million years, and finally Mom slips back out of his room and into the darkness. Timmy
doesn't really know what to make of all this.
Timmy ends up spending a whole lot of time and a whole lot of money in his late 20's, 30's and early 40's to deal with a whole load of twisted issues that resulted
directly and indirectly from this episode. Timmy's Mom, on the other hand, becomes incredibly convinced that her favorite thing to do in the world is to wake her
husband up with a blow job every morning. As luck would have it, Timmy's Dad found Timmy's Mom's book and read it too. Timmy's Mom, being as suggestible as she
is, gets a dose of some creative suggestions in that time period when one is going to sleep and is still awake enough to hear, but not awake enough to reject. 30
years later, Timmy's dad dies a very happy and relaxed man.
Scenario Two: Little Johnny is in the middle of a teenage hormone fueled dream about his 2nd period English teacher. She's a tall, hot redhead with huge tits
that he stares at every day. In his dream, she asked him to stay after class. He does, and when no students replace the ones that left, finds out that she has a
preparation period after his class. She says that she caught him staring at her chest today, just like he does every day. Johnny is surprised and doesn't know
what to do. However, his teacher has other plans. They end up having hot passionate sex, when all of a sudden she starts saying that she loves him and is proud of
him. The voice sounds strangely familiar, but not like hers. Johnny looks up in his dream and sees that he's no longer having sex with his hot redheaded, big
titty'd English teacher, but is instead having sex with his mom! And she's saying all sorts of weird shit to him. He find that there's nothing he can do, and
nowhere he can go, so he just endures it.
... anyway, this is the sort of stuff I come up with while flipping through the bargain bin book liquidation...
I'm pleased to announce that my latest project is up and running.
HypnosisFetish.com is my latest creation. It's a video clip site that is similar to HypnoGames.com in about as many ways as it's different.
HypnosisFetish.com features one full photoset a month. This photoset will be a photoset that was featured in the past at HypnoGames.com. However, instead of being
gradually displayed at the rate of roughly a clip per day, the entire video series is availalbe. This allows you to view at your own pace.
Second, the clips on HypnosisFetish.com are avaialable in three formats. First, Microsoft Media Player format at 100kbps, is the format that I've been making clips
avaialable at HypnoGames.com in.
Second, HypnosisFetish.com offers Quick Time support. The clips have been encoded using Quick Time version 6 and are also 100kbps. Thrid, HypnosisFetish.com
offers Real Player support. The Real Player clips are 350kbps, which gives them the highest quality, but also the largest file size. A demo clip for all three
formats can be found at theHypnosisFetish.com Preview Page.
Thrid, we're offering an more descriptive clip preview system for people considering joining. On the home page, above the graphic and the navigation bar, there's a
line that says which series is playing. There is also a link to the preview picts, description, length and file sizes for each clip. Essentially this is the same
thing that you would see from the member's area, except of course the links don't take you to the clips. To see what I mean, right now the Allison 3 series is
playing (normally it would be an older series that has already played on HypnoGames.com, but I wanted to use my favorite series for the launch of
HypnosisFetish.com). The clip preview page is here.
Fourth, the site is using PayPal for billing. Because PayPal doesn't ask as high of a fee as i-bill, it allows me to experiment with a lower price. Furthermore,
the security system is simpler, so it should mean less manually configured accounts. Having said that, the site is still new, and I haven't even tested the
software that PayPal has provided yet, so for the early adopters, I might have to configure your accounts manually. I'll never be more than 10 hours away from my
computer (including sleep) while the site launches. I'll have to ask for your patience in this regard if the new membership software doesn't go as smoothly as I've
been lead to believe.
Fifth, with less members and less content on HypnosisFetish.com, there should be considerably less load on that particular system. Pages and clips should load much
faster.
However, keep in mind, HypnosisFetish.com is not a replacement for HypnoGames.com. HypnoGames.com is still my primary focus. However, the phonomenal growth of the
site has left me little room to experiment with. HypnosisFetish.com is a chance to meet some needs that a few of my customers have asked for, while at the same time
allowing me some room to experiment with, to explore directions that I can consider taking HypnoGames.com in the future.
i was in touch with Entrancement a while back - at that time they would ship, but were warning customers that UK customs were seizing shipments, and i believe that
situation has clarified to the detriment of UK buyers, with HM customs deciding the product is illegal.
My sense of humor strikes again. I saw that it's previous owner had decided against renewing the domain
registration, which isn't surprising since their host had cut them off, presumably for non payment, months prior.
Now I own the domain: hypnofun.com .
I'm not incredibly sure what I'm going to do with it. Does anyone have any ideas? So far, I'm pretty much thinking of just a simple listing of hypnosis resources
links, both erotic and non. But it is official. Hypnofun is officially done and out of business, there will not be another version of it's self popping up again
in the future (not at that domain anyways).
There aren't any providers inside the UK its self that I know of.
I run HypnoGames.com, and haven't had any problem shipping to the UK. I know that Entrancement Video ran into some problems, but it would be best to ask them
directly. I don't know what the status is for HypnoVideo , as the guys over there don't really talk to me all that much.
I've started to bring over the Reviews Section. I've got a bit
of a backlog of reviews that I need to do, so expect a whole bunch of them to appear in the days ahead.
The folks over at Evil Hypnotist have recently announced on
their announcement list the availability of four Japanese Hypnosis videos. This is in addition to the five videos that they already have available on their website. On a quick glance, the videos appear to be the staged hypnosis / mind control stories, most revolving
around hypnotic cd's and e-mail.
I haven't heard any feedback about these people, either positive or negative.
I've moved the Lady Inamorata Interview to it's new home at this page. The rest of the articles from the old system will be moved over one at a time and will
be available through this page. Of course, if there's something that you are looking for on the old version of the site
you can find it here for the time being.
One of the things that I've always meant to do more of was write. Anyways, I've finished a story that I've
been working on, inspired by true events on my trip to Europe earlier this year.
Among some of the stories added, Absolute Control (Friday Night Fights) by Nick Vegas, is about some women who get together while their husbands are out of town.
Taking a more physical, BDSM style approach to the initial induction, one of the women gets another under her spell.
MC Cleaners by Robotunit8, is a short piece about a woman who is a little too busy to attend to the details of her life, inlcuding her gentleman friend. Under the
guise of helping her attend to some of these details, he brings in a brainwashing service that has the technology to solve this little problem.
Of course, there is also a wide variety of new stories and new chapters to exisitng stories in this update.
I just finished reading a story called Overlay by Lucky Guy. It was a fun read. The mind
control in this story was telepathic in nature, and was a well thought out in it's mechanics. There were a few interesting plot twists and the characters were
interesting and believable.
I also read the new chapter of Medallion, by ShadowUsurper, a fun romp though the world of a
guy who explores his newly found mind control powers. After having his way with some college co-eds, he runs into an ex-wife for some mind controlled humuliation.
Also a fun read!
Good news for those of you waiting for the new updates to HypnoGames.com.
I'm doing a photo shoot with Allison right now. We just finished our first tape of footage, and she is taking a smoke break with my cameraperson. Things are going
good in the new studio with some new studio lights. The only drawback is that the floor is a little creaky. I'm not sure how much this will affect the final
footage.
We started the session with a rapid induction, followed with a deepening. This video has a more "hands on" approach that's a little bit more similar to the Jessica
sessions. We've got a waterless shower, remote control sex bot, invisible bondage, and lots of other cool stuff!
Also, with the new studio it should be a lot easier to bring in new women as well.
Well that's all for now, it's time to get back to the camera!
I guess I just got another thing added to my list... figure out why the last post got cut off....
Anyways, we were supposed to finalize the details for a shoot ASAP today via telephone, but I wasn't able to reach her, so I'll try again tomorrow. Not having a
dedicated studio has made it difficult to do another Allison shoot, but I'm pretty confident that we'll have another one as soon as she's available.
I am of course currently looking for other subjects as well. And then there's the behind the scenes stuff, all of which is an emergency - of course, that keep on
popping up.
However, stay tuned, and I'll keep you posted as soon as I know what's going on :-)
The Erotic Mind Control Story Archive has been updated as of today. While
I haven't gone through the entire selection of new stories yet, I did notice a story done as a tribute to Kinky Klaire called "Meeting Megan Again." I
just finished reading another story called "The Lingerie Shop," by Polo. It was an enjoyable piece with a some confusion suggestions given to a sexy
young early 20's lingerie sales girl.
On a related note, I've received some e-mails from people asking about when the next update for HypnoGames will be. Generally, I don't like to say anything until
after the files have been posted, however, it's been a little while, so I'll go ahead and give you the 411 for those who are interested.
I spent the bulk of the week moving. The downside of that was that it was about a week worth of working time that I lost, but the upside is that I now have much
more space at my disposal for filming my sessions. For the past year, I've been doing sessions in hotel rooms, in the model's homes, etc. and that has made things
extremely difficult. However, now I'm setting my studio back up, so it will be a lot easier to get these done and posted.
Currently I'm working through footage from Clover 1. However, that footage was shot on my analog camera, which means that I can't pull it in via firewire. I do
have an ATI all-in-wonder Radeon, but there's some sort of strange issue that is dumping a lot more static than should be there into my video capture files.
Literally every second that hasn't been spent moving furniture up three flights of stairs have been spent waging war with my analog vidoe equipment.
On the upside, I bumped into Allison last night on my way home, and we scheduled another session. However, on the downside, I was unable to

It's not perfect, but I'm still working on making it behave exactly the way I want to it behave. While I'm still working on it, play nice and don't try to break
the system. Anyone caught trying to abuse the software will have their ip address blocked.
Message functionality still not written... A simple errand run turned into 8 hours of physical labor (the
avoidance of which is why I got into computers in the first place *g*).
Hopefully if today's annoyances don't spill over into tomorrow, I'll have it up and running.
For any of you waiting on me to respond to e-mail, don't worry it will come. Right now busy is the mother of all understatements.
Bit by bit, the rebuild of HypnoFocus is coming along. I've got the rudimentary part of the new posting system
written and in place. You can use it now if you'd like. Just go up a little and click on the button. Unfortunately I haven't written the code yet that allows you to
see what was just posted. I'll write that tonight after I go out at take care of some errands.
I've got some cool things planned for this site, to make it a lot easier to become the living community that I had originally envisioned!
Haven't gotten a whole lot of work done on the new system today, I'm a big fan of miniature gaming and try to do that on sundays when I can.
Tomorrow I'll start on the message posting functions, and hopefully there will be at least rudimetary posting available tomorrow. The board is going to be spam
free, except for occassional promotion by sponsors. If you would like to be a sponsor, e-mail me. Also, it's going to be a flame / piss free board as well. One of
the most enjoyable BBSes that I've seen on the net in yars operates the same way, and it works!
Welcome to the new HypnoFocus Message Board. In the past year and a half of running HypnoFocus.com, I've
learned a lot about how to make an erotic hypnosis message board work and how to make it not work. This new format is designed to make it as easy to use as
possible. Keep in mind that I'm still writing much of the back end code, so it's not really operational yet. However, considering that I've just started the rewrite
two hours ago, it's not lazyness on my part. Expect it to be functional enough to use in a couple of hours.
In the meantime, if you can't wait to post, e-mail me at exile@gothnexus.com. P.S. there's going to be some rules posted, I haven't gotten around to writing them.
Unfortunately they're necessary for several reasons.
