Hypnosis has long been associated with an amusing, almost comedic picture of a magician swinging a pocket watch before someone's eyes. Yet, it is known that childhood experiences can mold our sexual preferences, which may be intensified when combined with the power of hypnosis. The integration of hypnosis and BDSM, role-playing, and sensory play is often referred to as the "chocolate sauce" of the kink world, an enhancement to any kink experience.
What is a Hypnosis fetish?
Avi Aaron, an Erotic Hypnosis Educator & Specialist, explained to me that Hypnofetish, also known as Hypno Kink or Erotic Hypnosis, is a sexual interest or attraction towards the practice of hypnosis which can involve the hypnotist inducing a trance-like state in the subject, who may accept erotic suggestions or role-play scenarios.
Hypnosis creates a distinct, altered state of consciousness blending with traditional dominance & submission, stimulating & fulfilling for those involved. It's also useful for Sensation Play, heightening sensitivity to physical stimulation for an enhanced erotic experience. Behaviors & personalities can also be temporarily changed by hypnosis to explore fantasies & Role Play, deepening the connection between partners.Our sex doll torso are available for any of your Hypnosis fetish needs.
What may cause an individual to develop a hypnophilia fetish?
In the hypnosis community, a distinct difference is seen between those individuals who classify themselves as having a hypnosis fetish and those who identify as having a hypnosis kink. For the former, the attraction often stems from childhood, with an erotic stimulation arising from the act of hypnosis. In contrast, many with a hypno kink discover their interest later in life and may use it as a means to investigate various dynamics. Still, one should be aware that the distinction is not always clear-cut and there can be overlap between these two. Our fetish guide provides an excellent understanding of where fetishes and kinks originate.
One person with an interest in hypnosis stated,
"As a young child, experiencing hypnosis depicted in Disney movies often made me feel embarrassed and tingly. Since then, I have found myself feeling both uncomfortable and strangely aroused by depictions of hypnosis and mind control in movies, TV shows, and books. For some people, this fetish can also develop as a way of coping with their life’s struggles, as described by someone on Reddit."
"I attribute my issues to spiritual distress. Previously, I held a negative view of sex and all related activities. Fantasizing about having unimpaired control gave me a way to engage in sexual activity without feeling remorseful. For others, hypnosis provides a sense of peace and harmony, as one remarked:"
When in a deep state of trance, many report an almost dizzying high and a sense of contentment or blankness. This can be particularly beneficial for those with intrusive thoughts that interfere with their sexual experiences. An individual on Reddit noted, "I wanted to orgasm without having to physically stimulate myself." Evidently, the ability to control orgasm through hypnosis presents a great reason to explore this topic further.
How common is a Hypno fetish?
Hypnosis kink has become extremely popular in the kink community. Over 50,000 members have joined a website dedicated to this fetish, and during signup users are asked their role preferences, options including “slave, master, pet owner, parent, baby, furry”. This suggests a strong link between hypnosis and other kink desires.
How does hypnosis work?
Avi specializes in hypnosis, a technique which can place people in a trance-like state. Neuroscience research by Stanford expert David Spiegel suggests that those who are considered to be "highly hypnotizable" may become more pliable to persuasion and have an amplified physical awareness. Spiegel found a decrease in areas of the brain relating to self-reflection while those in a hypnotic trance increased their connection to their body. This indicates hypnosis has influential implications for a person's cognitive and bodily awareness. There are a variety of methods to induce hypnosis.
“Hypnosis may incorporate language and body-based techniques to induce a relaxed and open mental state. This may include verbal communication and/or physical touch such as gentle caresses or massage. Skilled hypnotists often tailor their techniques to suit individual brain chemistry.”
