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.
