This reply isn't only to Arpig, but inclusive to other's who have concern over perceived "rape," non-consent, non-awareness of hypnosis, or subconscious manipulation. First, to steal from one of the moderators in the chat lobby, hypnosis can be a tool in BDSM, just like ropes, knives, needles, etc. A /s should make sure the D/ knows how to use such tools, before submitting to them. Hypnotism in this scene, is a fetish. It is awesome for behavior modification and enhancing experiences. It hightens senses, it doesn't (unless a negative hallucination is desired, ie: not sensing something that is there) dampen them. While physical relaxation can be quite profound, I'm not sure that "a zombie like state," would really be an accurate description. In fact, a person in hypnosis can be quite active! As far as hypnosis being an evil way to manipulate a /s... isn't that one aspect of what Domination is about? It's ok to manipulate through sensorary deprevation, physical restraint, sleep or food regulation, limiting contact with others, emotional manipulation, verbal and non-verbal cues, pain, etc... but don't purposefully lead them into an altered state of... "agreeablity" through an induction because THAT is evil? ~shrugs~ while accepting all kinks, I have not yet been able to bring myself to use pain in an intimate scene. Pain's purpose is to point away from itself. To motivate one to quit the environment of discomfort and make change in life. That it is used differently in BDSM may say more about those activities, than being afraid of a naturally occuring function of the brain that we call hypnosis. My thoughts, take them as you wish, MH
