ORIGINAL: peppermint I do not understand hypnosis when it comes to WIITWD. To me it makes no sense. To me, a dominant should inspire obedience. Hypnosis is not inspiration. It is a technique that makes people do things they would normally not wish to do and may not even remember doing. That just feels wrong to me. I submit because I want to submit. It feels good to submit to him. I don't need hypnosis to do that. Same here. I have a switch friend who gets into Erotic Hypno. This is what he told me. He wants to be a slave. He thinks that being under the "power" and influence" of an Erotic Hypno Domme will dissolve his mental barriers to submission. Frankly imo, if this cannot be consciously and willfully done, then he has no business letting anybody mess around in his head. Nor would I personally put much stock in quick fixes. From the Dominant's perspective, why would I want a sub who has to be hypnotized into submission??? Like you peppermint, I am also of the opinion that submission needs to be inspired; submission to another should be embraced, not resisted. When encountering resistance, then it should be walked through with conscious, interactive communication. You would go to a qualified, certified clinical hypnotherapist if you wished to get to the root of a problematic issue such as a phobia, or smoke cessation for example, which will only be effective if you are truly ready to break a bad habit pattern. Behavior modification via hypnotherapy will work for some, but not for many, and certainly not for all of us. DreamLady Edited to add: OP, a lot of this Hypno stuff is touted by Cyber Dominants. This Dom you met, is a Cyber-Dom, I take it. Don't expect any relationship you develop with him to ever go off-line; he may be married, just another one of these keyboard warriors who will try to *hypnotize* you to go on cam and strut your stuff for him. I would be very careful and wary of getting in over your head, and it's not a healthy place for you to be if you start handing off personal responsibility for your actions because you were "hypnotized" into doing it.
