Tyku and Iron Bear, I still appreciate your posts. Paradoxy, I'd be curious to find where you got that ax to grind. Can hypnotism be abused? Of course it can! Does it allow people to be more suggestible and able to focus control over their body to do "extraordinary" things (control bleeding or control/alter/enhance/block sensations, create rigidity or catalepsy) sure it can. Can it lower inhibitions or create a feeling of well-being through the natural release of endorphins and neuro-transmitters that bathe the brain and in particular, the Corpus Collosum? Well, by definition, that's what it does! But, baring drugs am I less in control in hypnosis than I am if I’m bound? No Effing Way! The difference between hypnosis and S&M is that the hypnotized subject has the ability to emerge at will, whereas once I am bound without safety releases accessible by Me, I am helpless to the whims of those around Me. Referring back to Post #19, Hypnotist4u, Would someone emerge if the sensation of pain is blocked and they are abused? Quite probably not, but that's not because they were allowing the abuse because of hypnotism, it's because their pain recognition was interrupted, allowing the abuse to occur. People are abused through hypnotism, not because hypnotism is dangerous, but because an abuser found a victim. In S&M, the responsibility for safety has an external locus: the person or people controlling the environment. In hypnotism, the responsibility for safety has an internal locus. While it is nice when the responsibility for safety is shared, it ultimately is the subject's responsibility to maintain their safety. If they are tricked or abused while hypnotized, it is because they were taken advantage of... something that happens in the waking state, all the time. I am sorry people have been burned, beaten, or financially whacked through hypnotism. But, gosh dang it people, this is a BDSM site. 80% or more of the people here are going, "That is so cool." There is not a single "DANGER" of hypnosis that various Dom/mes don't brag that they will do to their submissives or slaves in their normal waking state, and dozens of various submissives and slaves intimate that they are seeking the same. This is a fetish site. Many of those fetishes have a potential for injury. Of all of those dangerous fetishes, hypnotism, in and of itself does not make the subject helpless. Any compromise to personal safety is acquiesced to by the subject. In and of itself, I am in less danger being hypnotized than I am if I allow Myself to be restrained, have My breathing restricted, drink to personal excess, or experience the effects of a drug. Why, because with hypnotism, the responsibility for My safety remains with Me. Take Care, MH
