The Hypnosis Files, 5



The Hypnosis Files, 5

Case 2012/m

Mark D——— is one of my experiments in guided experiences. At our first meeting, he told me that he was a very visual person. His subsequent behavior proved the truth of that remark. He lives his trance journeys in highly colorful and exact visual detail. He “sees” the fictional experiences he enjoys while hypnotized as if they were real.

Several months after he began seeing me, he asked if I would help him achieve one of his desires. He had, he told me, a large collection of porn pictures stashed on his computer. He wasn’t sure of the number, but he thought he had several thousand. All but a few were shots of individual males. “I like pictures of single men,” he said, “because then I can imagine being with them. If there’s another person in the shot, then it’s not my story anymore. It’s theirs.”

What Mark wanted from me was the ability to select one of the pictures and then experience being with the man. “For sex, you know.” He has learned to be quite forthright about expressing what he wants. During the early, conditioning phase of my work with clients, I instill in them the confidence that they can be completely honest with me and speak without embarrassment. I also teach them to feel totally at ease with me. Many of them need to be undressed during the sessions to accommodate their fantasies, and orgasms and ejaculations are not uncommon. So Mark’s directness about expressing his desires was not unusual.

“Is there anything in particular you want to do? Specific acts you want to engage in?”

“That varies with the picture. Some guys I see, they strike me as tops. Or at least as guys who I would like to top me. I want to suck them or be fucked by them. Other guys, I definitely want them to suck me. Some guys, I would be tender and loving with. Others would be rougher. It depends on the guy and on my mood at the time.”

“So what you do in the fantasy will depend on the guy you pick?”

“Sort of. I guess. But I don’t want to pick the guy. I would like there to be some way of making the selection random. You know, so that the guy is just there and then things happen. I like variety, but for me the fantasy would be more real if the guy just appeared and then we started doing things. I don’t want to decide beforehand that I want to do this or that and then pick a guy. I would like what happens to be the result of the type of man he is, if you see what I mean.”

“Yeah, I understand what you want. How are the pictures arranged?”

“By categories. I can show you next time. I can bring in my laptop and you can look at the files, if you want. It will give you a better idea of what I’m talking about.”

Mark arrived for his next appointment carrying his laptop. He opened the folder for his picture collection. As he had said, it was arranged by categories—young men, daddies, bears, cubs, musclemen, leathermen, whites, blacks, latinos, Asians, athletes, hunks, clothed, jock straps, underwear, outdoors, indoors, various body parts (pecs, arms, abs, cocks, asses) and physical characteristics (hairy, smooth, tall short, red hair). Some of the categories were occupational—cops, cowboys, construction workers, truckers. A few subfolders were dedicated to pictures of one man. There must have been seventy-five subfolders containing different types of men. His collection was truly eclectic and wide-ranging. The only category I didn’t see was twinks. I made some remark about the staggering number of photos in his collection.

“A lot of the pictures are in two or more subfolders. So the total count is misleading. I probably only have about four thousand or so different ones. Here I can show you some of them.” Mark clicked on “slideshow” and the pictures began appearing in order. The subfolders were arranged alphabetically, and the first was the one labeled “Athletes.” A succession of well-built men dressed (many of them only partially dressed) in athletic gear began appearing on the screen.

“Oh, that isn’t very helpful,” said Mark. “This will give you a better idea of the range of choices.” He clicked on the screen and a pop-up menu appeared. He selected “shuffle” and immediately the series of pictures began to display a great variety. A bronzed muscleman would occupy the screen for a few seconds before being replaced by a picture of a large erect cock, which in turn would give way to a man wearing only a pair of sunglasses and a tattered jock strap. “This pulls up pictures at random. I can also vary the speed if you like.”

“No, that’s fine. I get the picture. That’s given me an idea.”

*****
Mark lay naked on my couch. He is 42, about five foot seven. He is very careful about his weight and jogs most mornings (Boston weather permitting). He is slender and trim, but not muscular. We have spoken about using hypnosis to condition him to begin weight training, but he is a vice-president of marketing for one of the tech firms along Route 128 and has little free time. As he told me, “I’d rather use my spare time to visit you than go to the gym.”  His chest and stomach are covered with a sparse coating of brown hair. The hair on his head has begun to recede a bit in front. I would say that he is a pleasant-looking man. He’s not a stunner, but most people, I would guess, find him personable and agreeable to look at and to be with. He was resting quietly and comfortably, his mind blank and open, ready for programming. (Like many of my clients knowledgeable about computing, Mark finds the language of computing very applicable to hypnosis. For these clients, I speak of hypnosis as programming. I download new programs into their minds. They run the programs at home to practice them. We update programs. The programs have subroutines, and pull-down menus. They click on their choices.)

“Just relax, Mark. Focus on what I am saying. My thoughts fill your mind and are becoming your thoughts. From now on, whenever you look at your pictures, you will set the display to Shuffle, so that a random series of pictures appear on the screen. As each new picture appears, you will go deeper and deeper into trance. Each new picture will take you deeper and deeper until your imagination is liberated. Your ability to hallucinate experiences will grow stronger and stronger, the more pictures you see. Each new picture will increase your ability to have real experiences while you are in a trance. As you view the pictures, you will mentally count them, beginning with one. By the time you see the twenty-fifth picture, you will be in a deep trance. By the time you see the twenty-fifth picture, your imagination will completely liberated. By the time you see the twenty-fifth picture, your ability to hallucinate experiences will be so strong that you will feel the hallucinations to be totally real.

“Once you have reached this state of deep trance, each new picture will make more and more sexually excited. You won’t touch yourself, but mentally and physically you will become more and more aroused as each new picture appears on the screen. Your breathing will grow ragged, your body will tremble with excitement, your balls will begin to churn, your cock will grow hard. Each new picture will make you more and more uncontrollably excited. As you view the pictures, you will mentally count them, beginning with one. By the time you see the twenty-fifth picture, you will be ready. You will pause the pictures. The twenty-fifth picture will be your partner for sex. You will have sex with the person in the twenty-fifth picture. The person and the sex will be completely real to you.

“The sex you have with the twenty-fifth person will be totally satisfying. When you are finished, you will relax and count slowly from twenty-five to one. With each number, you will grow calmer and more relaxed. When you reach ten, you will slowly begin to come to full waking consciousness. When you reach one, you will be fully awake. You will feel totally satisfied. You will remember everything that happened to you.”

I repeated these instructions several times, adding the suggestion that each time Mark ran the program, he would get better and better at it, and the orgasms would become stronger and stronger. When I was satisfied that he had fully absorbed the programming, I decided to take him for a test drive. I placed his laptop on the coffee table in front of the couch and opened it.

“You will remain in a deep trance until I awaken you. You will sit up, open your eyes, and begin running your new program.”

Mark immediately complied. He swung his legs over the side of the couch and sat up. His eyes opened and immediately fastened on the screen of his laptop. He activated it and called up his folder of pictures. He set the slideshow to Shuffle and began viewing the pictures. His attention was riveted on the screen as he went deeper and deeper into trance. Nothing but the succession of pictures on the screen existed for him. I walked over and stood beside the couch so that I could see the pictures and his reaction to them.

I didn’t keep count, but Mark obviously was. After a couple dozen pictures, he began to become excited. All the symptoms of sexual arousal that I had mentioned to him—the ragged breath, the shaking, the erection—were present. Mark even added a few more. He face became flushed, and he began moaning. Again I lost count of the pictures, but in a few minutes, Mike leaned forward and stopped the slideshow.

The image of a young man filled the screen. He was posed against a white background with his left side facing the camera. His left arm was drawn back, pulling that side of his chest into view. He was lanky. His muscles were well-defined but not large. His face, buttocks, and legs were shown in profile. He was nude. His body was hairless except for a trimmed, almost fur-like, patch of dark hair above his cock. The cock was cut and very straight. It jutted out at about a thirty-degree angle from the body. It was perhaps six inches long.

Mark immediately reacted to the image. He pushed the coffee table away from the couch and got down on all fours in the space between the couch and the table. He crouched down a bit and then tilted his mouth upward. It took me a second to realize that he was positioning himself in front of the man on the screen, with his mouth at the level of the man’s groin. In his mind, Mark was now kneeling before the man, with his eyes focused intently on the man’s cock.

Mark opened his mouth and began to tease the man’s cock with the tip of his tongue. To judge from his movements, he was tracing the cock with his tongue, licking the head and then running his tongue up and down the length of the cock. Mark’s eyes drifted open and shut lazily. Occasionally he would tilt his head upwards and eye the man’s body adoringly. He began introducing the cock into his mouth. His lips would part and then form themselves into a rough oval. His head would bob forward and then his cheeks would dimple inwards as he applied suction. At first he took only the head of the cock into his mouth. Gradually he sucked more and more of it into this mouth. All throughout, he was moaning with pleasure. His body rocked back and forth as he swallowed more and more of the cock. His moans became strangled gasps as he deep-throated the cock.

When he began, his mouth was tilted upwards. As he sucked the cock more vigorously, Mark rose up, first so that the movements of his head were more or less parallel to the floor. And then as the man became fully erect, he rose up further and his head moved up and down. His hands began to stroke the man’s legs and then his buttocks. His pace became faster and faster. Eventually he was clasping the man’s hips and alternately pushing and pulling on the man to force the man’s cock in and out of his own mouth.

Of course, I could not see the man Mark was fellating. But for Mark the man was totally real and present. Mark’s reactions were so realistic, however, that for me the man almost came to occupy the space that Mark’s movements were carving out.

Eventually Mark pantomimed a climax—a very long climax following by long slow strokes of Mark’s mouth on the cock. I thought that was the end of the action, but Mark got up on the couch and bent forward so that his ass was elevated. He pressed his face into a pillow and wriggled his buttocks. With his hands, he pulled apart his ass cheeks, exposing his anus. This action was followed almost immediately by a long, deep moan of pleasure as the man penetrated him. Mark’s body was slammed forward into the couch and tremors shook his body as the man fucked him. Again, I could only guess at what was happening in Mark’s mind from his actions. The two men tried a variety of positions. At one point, Mark was impaling his body on the man’s cock. At another point, he was lying on his back with his legs raised and spread. The force of the man’s thrusts pinned him to the couch, and the vigor of their actions made its springs groan and shifted it backwards on the floor until it was bumping against the wall. Mark’s face was screwed up in pleasure, and inarticulate cries and moans came from his throat.

Mark’s cock became more and more engorged, and the two men came together in a final growl of pleasure. Mark’s body spasmed and arched. His head titled back. He shot out several jets of thick, ropy cum onto the couch. He held his position for several seconds before gradually sinking down into the couch. Two minutes later he regained consciousness.

“That was the best ever,” he said when he recovered his breath. He looked around as if trying to locate his partner. His eyes found the image of the man frozen on his laptops. “He’s one of my favorites. I have lots of pictures of him.”

“Did you enjoy yourself?” I handed him a towel.

“Yeah, you could say that. Oh, I got your couch dirty.” He attempted to sponge up his cum.

“Don’t worry. It isn’t the first time. I’m sure it won’t be the last. That’s why the couch is covered in fake leather. It’s plastic. I’ve got a spray bottle of disinfectant cleaner. I’ll get it cleaned up. Now, my next appointment should be here in fifteen minutes. So you had better get dressed. I want you to practice your new programming at least once a day until I see you next week. Do you think you can do that?”

Mark’s answer was a broad smile.

Case 2013/f

I devised this series of exercises for a client of mine, Byron Grigson, who wanted to develop his experience erotic fantasies through self-hypnosis. The versions I post here have benefited from the feedback he provided. If you try the exercises, I would appreciate hearing about your experiences. You can either leave comments here or send them to me at z119z2000@yahoo.com. Thanks.

The exercises reflect Byron’s interests. It’s easier to build upon a base of already established interests rather than try to create new ones. Hence the focus on nipples and the slightly sadistic nature of these exercises.

Byron trances easily and quickly learned self-hypnosis. However, like many other subjects, he likes to be placed in the subordinate position and be given orders. As the common saying has it, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. I have found that clients wishing to master self-hypnosis fall into two general groups: those that want to control themselves and those that want the illusion that someone is controlling them. For the first group, I devise inductions and exercises in the first person—thus, “My fingers are relaxed” and “I feel cold.” The second group responds best to orders and commands: “Your fingers are relaxed” and “You feel cold.” Byron is definitely a member of the second group.

I had been working with Byron for three months before we began the following exercise. I met with him every Wednesday morning. At that time I would put him into a trance and introduce the exercise. We would do the entire exercise in my office. At the end of the session I gave him a printed copy of the instructions for the exercise. He would then practice the exercise at least once a day for the next week by himself in the privacy of his own home.

Once Bryon had mastered each exercise, I moved him on to the next exercise in the series. If you are trying this yourself, do not move on to the next step until you have mastered the preceding stop.

Byron and I had discussed the exercises in general the week before and devised a general plan. The first Wednesday, he arrived at my office wearing the clothes I had suggested and bringing a pair of nipple clamps with him; in his case he opted for a pair of Japanese clover clamps. He told me that he had been using these for several years and used them whenever he wanted “mild” nipple stimulation.

I put him into a trance and then we practiced the exercise. I issued the necessary instructions and counted out the numbers. He performed admirably. When he left, I gave him an instruction sheet with the exercise for Week 1. The following is a slightly edited version of that to incorporate the verbal instructions I had previously given Byron. If you are not skilled at self-trancing, I recommend that you master this before beginning these exercises. It is important that you have the ability to focus and concentrate while simultaneously relaxing and releasing your mind and body.

Exercise 1

For this exercise, you will need 30–60 minutes of free time. You should choose a time when you are well rested and alert. The surroundings should be warm and comfortable. Try to eliminate all distractions, both visual and audible. Sound-canceling headphones are recommended. Turn off your cell phones. The lighting in the room should be dim. Wear a T-shirt; your other clothes should be loose fitting—before you begin, make a mental check for any points at which your clothes are too tight or are chafing you and change them if necessary. Shoes are optional.

 You will need a pair of tit clamps or clothespins. If you have never used tit clamps before, it is recommended that you choose a gentle pair to begin. The tension in clothespins can vary considerably. Pick out a pair appropriate for your level of experience. More advanced users should select a pair that causes palpable pressure but not extreme pain.

Sit in a comfortable easy chair or lie down on a bed. Again, before you begin, check to make sure that you are comfortable and can relax. If you are sitting down, you may want to prop your feet up on a footstool. Make sure that you will be able to maintain the position for the length of the exercise with minimal movement. Close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly and deeply. Relax your body. Take a mental inventory of your body, part by part, to make sure that you are relaxed. Be especially aware of places where tension can build up unnoticed—the neck, shoulders, hand, and fingers. Be sure to relax the tiny muscles around the eyes and mouth and the muscles controlling the jaw. Once your body is totally relaxed, you are ready to proceed with the exercise.

Step 1. Open your eyes. Pick up the clamps and hold them at eye level, one in each hand, and examine them. Open and close them several times. Handle them and feel them as intensely as you can. Be aware not only of the appearance of the clamps but also of the feeling of them in your hands. How much pressure does it take to open and close them slowly? What muscles do you use in your thumb and forefingers to open and close them? Do they feel cold or hot or neither? Do they make noise as they close and open? Do not rush this step. In the following steps, let your eyes be closed as much as possible.

Step 2. Rub your nipples with the clamps. Try a variety of movements. Alternate between the left and right nipples. Then rub both nipples at once. Rub faster or slower. Tap the clamps against the nipples. Create as much sensation in your nipples as you can. Focus on the sensations happening at your nipples. Ignore everything else. Again, do not rush this step.

Step 3. Gradually attach a clamp to your right nipple by placing the open clamp around the nipple. Slowly close it. As soon as you feel the clamp begin to constrain the nipple, open it slowly. Repeat this over and over, each time allowing the clamp to close a bit more. As you do so, concentrate on the sensations coming through both your nipples and your fingers. Be aware also of how these sensations affect other parts of your body.

Step 4. Allow the clamp to close completely over the right nipple. Remove your fingers from the clamp. Count slowly to three and then open the clamp slowly, just enough to release the pressure on the nipple. Then slowly close the clamp over the nipple again. Remove your fingers from the clamp and count slowly to four, before opening the clamp again. Repeat this procedure, each time increasing the count by one, until you reach a slow count of ten. As you do this, concentrate on the sensations coming through your nipple and fingers. Be aware of how these sensations are spreading throughout your body. At the end, remove the clamp from your right nipple.

Steps 5 and 6.  Perform Steps 3 and 4 on the left nipple.

Step 7. Repeat Steps 3-6, this time counting slowly from ten to twenty, increasing the count by one each time. Throughout the exercise, focus on the sensations caused by the clamps and ignore all other sensory input. Enjoy both the pleasures and the pains. Each time you close the clamp, envision a wave of sensation spreading from your nipple throughout all of your body and mind. (Byron told me that he experienced this as a tiny explosion of feeling rippling out from the nipple in a series of waves.) Try to keep the rest of your body as relaxed as possible. Sometimes as a way of avoiding the nipple sensations, the body will tense up, particularly in the neck, shoulder, and upper arm areas. Tension can also appear in the small muscles around the eyes and the mouth. Learn to be aware of these areas and keep them as relaxed as possible.

Step 8. Place the clamps on both nipples and leave them in place. Repeat over and over, “This hurts.” Become very aware of the pain in your nipples. Feel the pain increase as time passes. Especially in the beginning, it will help to speak aloud rather than simply repeating the phrase in your mind. Moan with pain. Let the pain infuse your body and mind and react accordingly. Imagine you are an actor who is being tortured. Continue increasing the pain as long as you can.

Step 9. With the clamps still on your nipples, repeat over and over, “This feels so good.” Become very aware of the pleasure in your nipples. Feel the pleasure increase as time passes. As above, say the phrase out loud and let your body and mind react to the pleasure in your nipples. Moan aloud with pleasure. Let the pain infuse your body and mind and react accordingly. Imagine you are an actor who is being pleasured. Continue increasing the pleasure for as long as you can.

Step 10. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 several times.

Step 11. Remove clamps and relax quietly for a few minutes, letting your thoughts dwell on what you have just experienced.

Perform this exercise once a day for one week.

*****

Byron reported complete success with the exercise when I saw him the second Wednesday. I put him into a trance and tested this assertion. In my judgment, he was correct. He had mastered the exercise. I then moved him on to Exercise 2. Again we ran through the exercise from beginning to end while he was in a trance in my office and I sent him home with an instruction sheet.

Exercise 2

Perform Steps 1 through 9 of Exercise 1.

Step 10. With the clamps still on your nipples, repeat over and over, “I feel nothing. I have no sensation in my nipples.” Become very aware of the lack of sensation in your nipples. Continue to feel nothing in your nipples for as long as you can.

Step 11. Repeat Steps 8-10 several times.

Step 12. Remove clamps and relax quietly for a few minutes, letting your thoughts dwell on what you have just experienced.

*****

On the third Wednesday, the test showed that Byron had mastered Exercise 2, and I introduced him to Exercise 3. This exercise introduces the concept of a rheostat. If you are not acquainted with this word, a rheostat is the device in one of those light switches with a dial that you can turn clockwise or counterclockwise to dim or brighten the amount of light.

Exercise 3

Perform Steps 1 through 6 of Exercise 1.

Step 7. Imagine that rheostats are attached to the clamps. The rheostats can be adjusted from settings of 0 to 10, with 0 being the most pleasure and 10 being the most pain. Setting 5 is neutral; at setting 5 you will feel neither pleasure nor pain.

Step 8. Place the clamps on your nipples. Begin at Setting 0. Remember what it felt like in previous weeks to experience the sensation of intense pleasure in your nipples. Experience that sensation now. When that feeling of intense pleasure pervades your mind and body, turn the rheostat to Setting 1. As you do so, the amount of pleasure you feel will decrease slightly. Continue to adjust the rheostat one setting at a time. At Settings 2, 3, and 4, the pleasure you feel will decrease even more. At Setting 5, you will feel nothing in your nipples. Beginning with Setting 6, you will begin to feel pain in your nipples. The amount of pain will increase with each succeeding setting until you reach a level of intense pain at Setting 10.

Step 9. With the clamps still on your nipples, perform Step 8 in reverse order—from Setting 10 to Setting 0.

Step 10. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 several times.

Step 11. Remove clamps and relax quietly for a few minutes, letting your thoughts dwell on what you have just experienced.

*****

At the fourth Wednesday, Bryon reported that he had had some success with imagining the rheostat. After we discussed his experiences, we both felt that he would benefit from practicing the third exercise for another week. I put him into a trance, and we reviewed the exercise. I stressed that the rheostat was a real object and that he could perceive it. This worked. When he woke up, his tit clamps were equipped with this device. This did the trick. By the fifth Wednesday, he fully accepted that the clamps he was using could be adjusted to provide a sliding scale of sensations from intense pleasure through a total lack of sensation to intense pain. I then introduced him to the final exercise.

Exercise 4

Perform Exercise 3 without the clamps. Relax and close your eyes. Imagine that you are holding a pair of clamps in your hands. Feel them. They are solid and real. Feel them open and close in your hands. Feel them as you attach them to your nipples for the slow counts. Feel them hurt. Feel them give you pleasure. Feel them as you slowly adjust the setting on the rheostat.

The sixth Wednesday was a complete success. It was amazing to watch Byron as he performed the exercise. His fingers opened and closed clamps that existed only in his mind. He reacted to them as if they were real, his body writhing in pain or pleasure as he went through the exercise.



Once Byron had achieved this level of control over his sensations, he could use this new ability to entertain himself while he was alone or to augment his response when he was with a partner. He can adjust his mind effortlessly to experience the degree of pain or pleasure or null sensation that he wishes. The experiment has been a complete success in terms of giving him control over his mental reaction to stimulation, real or imagined.
