EROTIC HYPNOSIS

Given the lack of knowledge, the false myths that circulate, and the reluctance people show towards this, I write these lines to try to explain and clarify what hypnosis is and what it is not. I hope it is of interest and clears up doubts.

FALSE MYTH #1: "While I'm under hypnosis, I'll completely lose consciousness." On the contrary, someone under hypnosis is fully aware of everything and can even heighten their perception. Your attention will simply be more focused and less scattered. The depth of the hypnotic state depends on each person (some people reach a deeper state, while others reach a lighter one). It doesn't resemble sleep, but rather relaxation/meditation/concentration.

FALSE MYTH #2: "The person hypnotizing me can make me do anything against my will." Hollywood is to blame for this myth. But no one can make you act against your principles, limits, or interests while under hypnosis. To reach a hypnotic state, your collaboration is necessary, and at the moment you don't like the situation, you can easily exit that state. It's easier to take advantage of you against your will by tying you up than by hypnotizing you.

FALSE MYTH #3: "If something happens to my hypnotist, I can get stuck in that state." Just like you can't permanently stay in a state of deep concentration or be "stuck" on a stimulus. If time passes without receiving any orders, your brain will exit that state on its own or due to some distraction.

FALSE MYTH #4: "It can have permanent side effects." Every day, our brain subjects us to many autosuggestions. And don't forget that all that's needed in hypnosis is your imagination, concentration, following the guide's instructions, and letting go. If there were any side effects, it would be that it increases your ability to concentrate and relax.

So, if all that is NOT hypnosis, what IS hypnosis? Or what can be achieved/experienced under hypnosis?

The hypnotist simply guides. Everything that happens next is done by your brain. It's not magic, just psychology. Hypnosis handles the subconscious part of your brain, and the person hypnotizing simply helps you direct and manage that subconscious part yourself, experiencing suggestions of many types. Or even so that when you exit the hypnotic state, some instructions (if you desire) remain. All that's needed is a good imagination, good concentration, and the ability to let go. Leave the "technical" part to the other person.

In the end (like BDSM in general), it's a matter of trust. You put yourself in the other person's hands, and they guide you to experience a series of experiences that will surely surprise you. And like everything, the more practice and repetition, the more things can be achieved with greater speed and intensity. Sometimes it's not easy for everyone to experience, and several attempts or sessions are needed. The more trust in the master and the more imagination and concentratio...
