HYPNOTIC CONDITIONING

The Unanticipated Effects of Hypnotic Conditioning - one guy's thoughts:

To me, the concept of including the use of hypnosis by a Domme in the training and conditioning of Her submissive is highly intriguing and exciting. Obviously, I am not alone in these thoughts given the abundance and variety of D/s related hypnotic material available on the web. Casual reviews of some of these sites, and more active participation in various discussion groups, have lead me to believe that the motivation and appeal of incorporating hypnosis are likely quite different from the Domme and male submissive perspectives. While this is hardly a profound revelation, I can't help but think that these differences, when mixed with what I view as inherently male characteristics, male submissive characteristics in particular, create a powerful tool for the Domme. A tool that She may employ for entirely different reasons, and to create different effects, than those that a submissive might include on a list of his desires. Further, I suspect that he would likely eagerly proceed along his path of blissful ignorance as She lead him in the directions that She wanted him to go in service to Her.

I share the presupposition that for many a submissive male, significant aspects of the intrigue, allure, and desire for hypnotic domination quickly focus on the possibilities related directly to erotic and sexual play activities. I know that is the case for myself, and I wouldn't be honest if I said that I wasn't aroused by fantasies and images of having my overt sexual/sensual/erotic experiences and desires heightened/altered, or my soft limits pushed, through the use of hypnosis. I could probably lose many hours each week if I gave into the day dreams about the possibilities.

However, listening to Lady Julia's wonderful MP3's even just a handful of times has caused some interesting physical and cognitive reactions and changes for me, which occur at unexpected times. I am coming to understand that this is simply my first taste of the power of hypnotic conditioning, and how effectively it can induce or alter physical sensations and conscious/subconscious thought processes. I must confess that I am rather enjoying the process and am anxious to explore further.

While Lady Julia's words on Her MP3's do not describe a lot of specific tasks or directions beyond following her voice during the sessions (and to have sweet, erotic dreams of course), I still find the more generic nature of Her suggestions to be quite powerful and effective in a wide range of circumstances. My mind and body are definitely developing strong connections between experiencing physical and mental pleasure, and being a "good boy", being "submissive", and "pleasing" another - whatever those terms might mean at a particular time. These reactions seem to be limited, in random ways, to interactions with women and I seem to hope to hear them say "such a good boy". If not aloud, then echoing within my head.

For example, I think that I have always been courteous and polite, yet lately I find myself working harder to open doors for ladies - stopping in my tracks allowing them to enter the elevator ahead of me - giving them my place in line at the grocery store. Yesterday I even put gas in an unknown lady's car for her, for no logical reason that I could explain to myself during or after the fact. None of the ladies has said "good boy", but there is no denying the physical and mental sensations of arousal that have resulted from my actions.

So, my long winded point is this. I find myself wondering about how a Domme might use her hypnosis skills to intentionally and overtly heighten or stimulate these sorts of reactions to thoughts and behaviors that imply subjugation, but which are not really sexual or erotic in nature. It seems that One could create similar linkages to any number of actions, thoughts, or deeds that She finds desirable in Her supplicants and which she wishes to reinforce through the creation of a profound sense of arousal. I have seen a posting in a Yahoo hypnosis group that included what seemed like a powerful script for linking sexual arousal to maid service which strikes me as a good, but perhaps more intense/personalized, example than what I have in mind.

Couldn't a similar approach generate a new found fondness for doing some of the more mundane tasks that are always needing to be done, but nobody wants to do? Feeling the euphoric buzzing while doing the dishes, folding laundry, mowing the lawn, cleaning windows, exercising, etc. What about doing the same for other activities that perhaps are not done just for the Domme, but general behaviors with women that She expects - opening doors, returning grocery carts to the holding area, etc.

Would this sort of training/conditioning help some of us submissive males who sometimes struggle with the conflicts that can exist between our internal submissive desires and the roles, responsibilities, expectations, etc of our everyday lives and social expectations? Is there value in using hypnosis as a tool to appeal to those internal submissive tendencies and desires, heightening those that She finds desirable while helping to develop the understanding that many acts of submission do not directly relate to sexual erotic play? Could She help or cause her submissive to learn that obedience, serving, and pleasing another, as She deems appropriate, can and will result in the mental and physical rewards that She wishes for him to experience? It seems like there are endless possibilities and opportunities for an eager submissive to be reeducated and conditioned through hypnosis to think, feel, and behave in certain ways in particular circumstances, that are desirable to the Domme. That is very exciting proposition to me as a submissive who wishes to please the Domme I am serving, but who occasionally experiences some of those internal conflicts that can get in the way of doing the best that I can or of really letting go.

More immediately, I find myself contemplating how my personal reactions may grow more intense with additional listenings to Lady Julia's sweet, strong words, and how those reactions might be different if She had linked being a "good boy" to more specific acts
of submission, obedience, or serving that are likely to be encountered on a daily basis by a "regular guy". Perhaps as I left the gas station yesterday, enjoying the ongoing warm, erotic tingle and buzzing that started when I offered to put gas in that lady's car, and grew stronger as I completed the task, I would have understood that I did that for her so that she wouldn't have to worry about messing up her fresh manicure dealing with an uncooperative pump. Wasn't she at least thinking "such a good boy". I think I heard it echoing in my head.

At any rate, I'm sure that Lady Julia could use her powers of persuasion to inspire many of us to become very good at washing cars, doing dishes, painting, whatever needs to be done - - and we would just love to do all those menial tasks for Her because of the way She caused us to feel as a result. Wouldn't that be fun!
