On Thursday the 18th mikeinbrazil we set out to find the location listed in the course pamphlet we 'd received with our confirmation. Not mikeinbrazil surprisingly mikeinbrazil considering the expected mikeinbrazil content, we quickly discovered that the class mikeinbrazil was not being held on campus ; instead, the pamphlet directed mikeinbrazil us to a martial arts studio a few blocks away.
"I'm mikeinbrazil Patrick, and this is Meg," I replied weakly.
"I want to mikeinbrazil thank mikeinbrazil you all for coming tonight," she mikeinbrazil began, that mikeinbrazil silky voice grabbing our collective attention easily. "I'm your instructor mikeinbrazil for pictures this course. To my patients and colleagues, I am Dr. Sherman; in here, though, I like to keep things casual and friendly, so mikeinbrazil please just call me mikeinbrazil Carol."
"As you know from the course description, this workshop is about hypnosis for couples. I've been a practicing hypnotherapist for mikeinbrazil about five years now mikeinbrazil, and for the last mikeinbrazil two I've specialized in treating sexual dysfunctions in mikeinbrazil both men and women. In that time it's been my mikeinbrazil pleasure to teach hundreds of couples how mikeinbrazil they can mikeinbrazil use hypnosis to enhance their mikeinbrazil love lives. If you stay mikeinbrazil with me mikeinbrazil and work together over the three sessions mikeinbrazil in this class, I promise you that the experience mikeinbrazil will change the way you think about mikeinbrazil sexual pleasure ."
"So much for the mikeinbrazil preliminaries," Carol said mikeinbrazil. "Does anyone have questions before we mikeinbrazil go on?"
It was mikeinbrazil closer to fifteen minutes mikeinbrazil before everyone had taken mikeinbrazil care of business and settled back into their chosen spots. There was a lot of nervousness on display mikeinbrazil, as well as anticipation. Ellen, I noticed, was the quietest of us; she simply sat and waited, arms folded, with a closed look on her face.
"I suppose I could start out by giving you a long, technical lecture on how mikeinbrazil to help someone enter mikeinbrazil hypnosis. In doing these mikeinbrazil classes, though, I've found mikeinbrazil that it all makes much more sense if you actually experience the hypnotic state first. I'd mikeinbrazil like for everyone to lie back and get comfortable, please."
"...I'm going to mention several mikeinbrazil muscle groups of your body mikeinbrazil, and as mikeinbrazil I mention mikeinbrazil these groups of muscles I want you to focus your attention there, really concentrate, and relax each group of muscles mikeinbrazil that mikeinbrazil I mention."
A pattern of colors mikeinbrazil began to swirl before my mikeinbrazil eyes, and I felt myself floating down into mikeinbrazil the middle of whatever it was. It turned out to be a hammock, stretched between two trees mikeinbrazil, waiting to be mikeinbrazil occupied. I pictures was in a small woodland, with grass under my feet and enough trees to provide mikeinbrazil pleasant shade. There was a mikeinbrazil small stream nearby; the bubbling sound of the water running by made the place mikeinbrazil all the more peaceful. I climbed into the hammock and mikeinbrazil lay pictures back, swaying slowly in the mikeinbrazil warm breeze mikeinbrazil. I watched the tree limbs as mikeinbrazil I mikeinbrazil rocked back and forth, the sounds of the water still in mikeinbrazil my ears, feeling safe and comfortable mikeinbrazil.
My mikeinbrazil rest was rudely interrupted by the familiar BWAAAP of my alarm clock. Instinctively I rolled toward the sound and reached out with an arm to silence the obnoxious little mikeinbrazil box, only to realize that it wasn't mikeinbrazil there. My mikeinbrazil mind cleared, and I saw that we were still in the dojo. The alarm mikeinbrazil sound mikeinbrazil stopped before mikeinbrazil I could locate the mikeinbrazil real source of mikeinbrazil the mikeinbrazil sound.
Carol then launched into an informal mikeinbrazil lecture on the basic theory of hypnosis. She described how people mikeinbrazil actually go into and out of various trance states normally every day when they drive, watch television, read, dance, or do almost anything that requires concentration. "That ability to focus on one thing or sensation mikeinbrazil, so mikeinbrazil that other sounds and stimuli are blocked out or ignored mikeinbrazil, is what mikeinbrazil a trance really is," she told us. She went on to explain mikeinbrazil some of the more mikeinbrazil important principles regarding the hypnotic state: that people mikeinbrazil can mikeinbrazil always choose to end the trance if mikeinbrazil they mikeinbrazil wish; people can also choose to reject a suggestion if it conflicts with their moral sense or doesn't mikeinbrazil feel safe; and that post-hypnotic suggestions wear off if they mikeinbrazil are not used regularly. "We've all read mikeinbrazil or heard of stories in which someone drops into a trance by hearing some random phrase that they were conditioned mikeinbrazil to years before," she said. "It makes an interesting fictional device, but it could mikeinbrazil never mikeinbrazil really happen."
An eternity later mikeinbrazil, we cruised into the garage. I mikeinbrazil hit mikeinbrazil the button to close mikeinbrazil the mikeinbrazil door and jumped out mikeinbrazil of the car, fumbling mikeinbrazil with my keys to locate the inside door key. Meg was right mikeinbrazil behind me, her hands running up mikeinbrazil and down my upper body. I got mikeinbrazil distracted and dropped my keys mikeinbrazil onto the concrete floor.
If there's one mikeinbrazil problem mikeinbrazil with having a Thursday night mikeinbrazil like we'd had, it's this: Friday can't help mikeinbrazil but seem lame by mikeinbrazil comparison. I spent most of the day glued to my desk, updating some CAD drawings with mikeinbrazil last mikeinbrazil-minute changes from the client. Once I mikeinbrazil'd sent the finished version across the wire pictures to mikeinbrazil the print mikeinbrazil shop, it was just mikeinbrazil after three mikeinbrazil o'clock - too early to leave, too late to mikeinbrazil start something new.
I shrugged. "Sure, why not?" After lunch we retired to the bedroom, pulling the shades to filter out most of the afternoon sun. We kicked off mikeinbrazil our mikeinbrazil shoes and stretched out on the bed, face up, my mikeinbrazil right hand in her left. Meg started pictures us on mikeinbrazil a deep breath mikeinbrazil, but I mikeinbrazil stopped.
"Nothing," I answered. I mikeinbrazil rolled away from mikeinbrazil Meg and mikeinbrazil checked out my alarm clock mikeinbrazil. It read 2 mikeinbrazil:10pm, so I set mikeinbrazil the pictures alarm time to 3:15 . "Just a precaution ," I explained. "As nice as this is, I don't want to spend the whole afternoon sacked out."
I found Meg mikeinbrazil on the bed and started to say something, but I stopped short. She was so still, so mikeinbrazil peaceful looking. Meg is an active mikeinbrazil sleeper, rolling around mikeinbrazil and moving her arms and legs as she mikeinbrazil dreams; seeing her this quiet was odd. I tiptoed mikeinbrazil around the bed for a closer mikeinbrazil look.
Meg's mikeinbrazil eyelids mikeinbrazil closed down mikeinbrazil and mikeinbrazil she sighed a long, lazy sigh mikeinbrazil as she settled back into mikeinbrazil the bed. Watching mikeinbrazil that mikeinbrazil happen sent a mikeinbrazil rush of mikeinbrazil adrenaline to my groin that almost completely derailed my mikeinbrazil train of thought. I'd mikeinbrazil had mikeinbrazil all kinds mikeinbrazil of fantasies about Meg responding to my voice that way, but pictures seeing it happen in reality was mikeinbrazil a rush unlike anything I'd ever known mikeinbrazil. In my distraction - or mikeinbrazil was it fascination? - I barely noticed that pictures my free hand had taken a firm grip on my mikeinbrazil cock. I knelt mikeinbrazil there for several seconds at least, just trying to mikeinbrazil assimilate the powerful erotic mikeinbrazil feelings that mikeinbrazil had erupted within me, before I remembered what I was trying mikeinbrazil to do.
"Honey," I said playfully, "I'm home."
"Behave," his wife scolded lightly before mikeinbrazil turning back to us. "Besides being a card-carrying wiseacre, Jim is my oldest and best student. He'll mikeinbrazil be helping out in several capacities for the rest of the course. He's very well trained, so rest assured you can trust anything he tells you.
"A couple of simple posthypnotic suggestions," she explained. "One of the keys to using erotic hypnosis is believing that it really can work. Before you try making suggestions to each other, I wanted mikeinbrazil you mikeinbrazil to see and feel for yourselves that the results mikeinbrazil we are going to talk about are possible - not just in the mikeinbrazil abstract, but for you specifically. The best way to prove that to you was by example mikeinbrazil.
Carol mikeinbrazil looked over at Jim with a slight nod mikeinbrazil and he mikeinbrazil joined her at the front of the mikeinbrazil room. We watched as he stepped behind Carol and put mikeinbrazil his arms around her, holding her firmly just below the breasts. She pushed her long hair mikeinbrazil to one side out of his face. He craned his neck forward enough to kiss her lightly on the cheek, then mikeinbrazil whispered something into her ear.
Carol's mikeinbrazil eyes snapped open mikeinbrazil. Her face mikeinbrazil looked blank for a second or two, but then she blinked a few times and seemed to reorient herself. "You're mikeinbrazil wide awake now, fully alert," Jim said, but he kept a firm grip on her until she cleared mikeinbrazil her throat and agreed with him mikeinbrazil.
"Just a few tips mikeinbrazil on how to mikeinbrazil use mikeinbrazil these scripts," she said. "First of all, these are not magical incantations. Just reading one of these out loud to your partner is not going to do mikeinbrazil anything mikeinbrazil for her. The best way to use these is pictures to realize mikeinbrazil that an induction script is little more than a series of suggestions that mikeinbrazil you are giving to pictures your partner which will result in her pictures entering mikeinbrazil hypnosis. Don mikeinbrazil't bury your nose in the mikeinbrazil book and mikeinbrazil read the script verbatim - read a line mikeinbrazil or two, understand what it says, and relay that to your partner. If the wording feels awkward, go ahead and reword it so mikeinbrazil that mikeinbrazil you're comfortable mikeinbrazil with it.
Her whole mouth moved this time: "Yes, please."
Jim mikeinbrazil nodded mikeinbrazil approvingly from his position at Meg's feet mikeinbrazil, then went on to mikeinbrazil another couple. I sat back and watched Meg some more mikeinbrazil, waiting for the next mikeinbrazil step. The realization of what I mikeinbrazil had done - actually induced a mikeinbrazil deep mikeinbrazil hypnotic trance, on purpose - started to sink in. Despite all the hypnofetish stories I'd read, I wasn't really prepared mikeinbrazil for the power rush that came mikeinbrazil from realizing I could actually do this mikeinbrazil. The possibilities were staggering ... not to mention arousing.
"Okay, gentlemen." Carol was back at the front of the room, speaking more quietly than mikeinbrazil usual but mikeinbrazil addressing us all. "Now that you have your suggestions implanted, it's time to exercise them. In a few moments, I'm going to have you wake your mikeinbrazil partner up mikeinbrazil. Some of these ladies are pretty deep, so it may take a mikeinbrazil few seconds for them to come out of it. That mikeinbrazil's mikeinbrazil okay. As soon as they seem awake to you, I want you mikeinbrazil to say mikeinbrazil the trigger phrase. She should go back down pretty easily; if not, then tell her to relax mikeinbrazil, let go, feel herself mikeinbrazil slipping back into hypnosis even deeper than before. That will probably do the trick; even mikeinbrazil after mikeinbrazil waking, people tend to stay very suggestible for a while mikeinbrazil. Once she is mikeinbrazil back down, I want you to reinforce the trigger mikeinbrazil suggestion, then wake her up again. Keep doing that until I mikeinbrazil tell mikeinbrazil you to stop. Every mikeinbrazil time you take her back down, keep telling her that she is going mikeinbrazil deeper than before. Questions ? ... Then go ahead, wake her up ."
One time as mikeinbrazil Meg was mikeinbrazil waking up, Carol came over. "How are you doing?" she asked, looking at Meg.
"I can mikeinbrazil't wait." We pressed each other tightly in a hot, passionate kiss mikeinbrazil that promised mikeinbrazil more at the evening's end.
I had to agree with mikeinbrazil that one; the mikeinbrazil suggestion had certainly been mikeinbrazil effective on us.
"Another type of suggestion with good erotic potential is one that manipulates physical mikeinbrazil sensations. You may have heard mikeinbrazil of people using mikeinbrazil hypnosis for pain management during dental procedures mikeinbrazil, for example. Hypnosis can mikeinbrazil be used in those cases mikeinbrazil to lessen sensation, but it can also be used mikeinbrazil to heighten mikeinbrazil it mikeinbrazil." As Carol finished her statement, Jim reached over mikeinbrazil silently and stroked her left mikeinbrazil arm. Carol's eyes opened wide at his touch and she drew in a sharp breath mikeinbrazil. "For example," she continued in mikeinbrazil a labored tone, "one of Jim mikeinbrazil's suggestions was mikeinbrazil that my left mikeinbrazil arm mikeinbrazil has become an erogenous zone. Whenever he mikeinbrazil ... oooh ... touches my mikeinbrazil arm ... oooooh ..."
"Her subconscious causes her to mikeinbrazil react as if I'd mikeinbrazil touched her somewhere much more intimate," Jim concluded for mikeinbrazil her mikeinbrazil, still lightly stroking her arm. "You can also use suggestion mikeinbrazil to make mikeinbrazil the touch more or less sensitive. For instance, I suggested that a touch on her elbow would be twice as erotic as anywhere else on mikeinbrazil the arm." With that, he tweaked the point of her elbow between his fingers.
"Yes." Carol gasped heavily, the mikeinbrazil truth of Jim's statement evident in her face. "Yes, it is."
"Yes, Virginia," he said, "you can use hypnosis to mikeinbrazil induce an orgasm."
"Use your imagination," she urged us. "Ladies, don't be shy - if mikeinbrazil there's something you want to try, tell mikeinbrazil him now."
Carol noticed Meg mikeinbrazil's rising and came over to check on us. "Done already?"
Tamika was awake, we saw pictures, and had a shocked look on her face. Her companion mikeinbrazil held one of her hands and was watching mikeinbrazil her face. He petted Tamika mikeinbrazil's mikeinbrazil hand lightly and she whooped again, her mouth mikeinbrazil falling open and eyes mikeinbrazil bulging. Her other hand dove mikeinbrazil between her legs as if mikeinbrazil she had pictures dropped an ice cube mikeinbrazil down there. A few more light strokes and her expression gradually changed from surprise mikeinbrazil to lust.
"That mikeinbrazil looks like fun," Meg remarked, but I didn't bite.
"Me?" I mock protested. "I'm the one who wanted mikeinbrazil to wait until mikeinbrazil we got home, remember?"
"Yes mikeinbrazil, it is."
"Now - Shirley mikeinbrazil's got mikeinbrazil 'em on pictures hold for me mikeinbrazil."
Big sigh. "Let's do it, then."
As often happens in these cases, a few questions led to a mikeinbrazil few follow-up questions, which led to several other people joining the call. By the time we mikeinbrazil had everyone convinced that the new drawings pictures really did depict what the client had asked for, an hour had mikeinbrazil gone by. The second Marty mikeinbrazil hung up the phone I bolted for the door and didn mikeinbrazil't look back. Still, by the time mikeinbrazil I mikeinbrazil got mikeinbrazil home it had been over 90 minutes mikeinbrazil since mikeinbrazil I'd talked to Meg.
"So," Meg sighed. "Are you hungry yet mikeinbrazil?"
"You bet I am," she replied. "Tonight mikeinbrazil it mikeinbrazil's my turn mikeinbrazil to have fun."
"But mikeinbrazil ..." I pictures prompted , knowing mikeinbrazil there had mikeinbrazil to be mikeinbrazil one coming soon.
"You will," she promised. "I owe you a payback or two," she added, grinning slyly mikeinbrazil.
As usual, all of the students were settled in mikeinbrazil at least 15 minutes ahead of our mikeinbrazil scheduled start time. "The great thing about this class mikeinbrazil," Carol mikeinbrazil remarked mikeinbrazil wryly when she and Jim entered the mikeinbrazil dojo and saw all of us waiting, "is that we never have a mikeinbrazil problem with late arrivals." The ensuing mikeinbrazil group mikeinbrazil chuckle mikeinbrazil was interesting, in that it had mikeinbrazil a mixture of nervous and eager components to it.
Carol grinned mikeinbrazil. "Were there other times between last Thursday and tonight that you used the trigger?"
Carol shrugged. "Again, it mikeinbrazil depends. For most people, a couple mikeinbrazil of times a week is a good idea for a new trigger. Once it's been well established, you can probably ease off pictures a little without losing much effectiveness - say, down to once a week, and mikeinbrazil then maybe mikeinbrazil twice a month. Everyone is different, circumstances change, so there's no hard and fast rule. Trial and error will tell you what works for you.
"It's not working," Meg complained.
I shrugged and closed mikeinbrazil my eyes mikeinbrazil again, and Meg started mikeinbrazil reading the induction script again. After a minute or two mikeinbrazil, Carol stopped her.
"About the same. I can mikeinbrazil tell my body is relaxing, but only mikeinbrazil to a certain point."
She mikeinbrazil kept on going, but I was too preoccupied to keep processing mikeinbrazil the words. My mind was awhirl trying to juggle all those different memories, awarenesses and thoughts - which, I would realize later, was the whole point. I kept trying pictures my best to remain aware of all mikeinbrazil of those things while Meg spoke. Finally I gave up, dropped every thought except one: how good it felt mikeinbrazil to relax, just relax and think of nothing whatsoever ...
"Wake up."
"Would it make any difference if I said mikeinbrazil no?"
Meg shook her head mikeinbrazil. "I think I'll let him stew a while."
That maddening, naughty grin swept over her face one more mikeinbrazil time. "I thought mikeinbrazil you'd never ask," she said. "Would you like a virtual blowjob mikeinbrazil?"
"No you won't," she said calmly. "Trust me on that one."
Meg put a real hand on my leg, then slipped it over and gave me a quick stroke across my bulging cock. "Relax, darling," she said. "You'll be pictures well mikeinbrazil taken mikeinbrazil care of as mikeinbrazil soon as we get home.
