Why am I even writing an entry on this? If anyone ever sees this then something has probably gone horribly wrong.
Well, anyway: The term 'hypnokink' refers to a type of kink around
hypnosis and other adjacent fetishes, such as mind control, possession, corruption, and other things that mess with peoples' heads. They're not technically included in the term, and it is meant to just refer to hypnosis, but there's a near perfect-circle overlap between people who like those things and people who like hypnosis; so you might as well include them.
There's an entire community for this, which is unsurprisingly just called the hypnokink community. It is I think probably one of the weirdest places on the fleetnet - it doesn't really exist outside of it, at least not in
Gliese anyway; it's a lot more of a thing on the Landamar - and as a result, it's also one of the only places I've ever felt particularly at home in. For whatever reason, a solid half or more of the community are
yuyayni, and probably a third or more are transfemmes like me. For that reason, there's quite a lot of overlap in both interests and life experiences when hanging out with people there, and it's where I've spent most of my time and made most of my friends in adulthood.
It's not
explicitly a hookup community, but there is a lot of that that goes on. When you have a bunch of touch-starved
yuyayni transfemmes desperate for a place that they can actually unmask and be themselves, the end result is that people end up getting intimate with each other preeetttyyyy quickly. ...Particularly so when you've actually figured out ways to
be intimate that are fun, rather than boring and-or torture the way
ch'ikan sex is.
I'm, uh, definitely part of this group. I don't have any experience with in-person intimacy, or with doing that kind of stuff without the context of hypnosis behind it, and I couldn't imagine doing it that way now either. It's just
so much better with all the added dimensions that come with doing it the way people into hypno do it. Like- I don't know how to explain this to other people, but there's just so much stuff that seems unique to this way of engaging with sexuality? For example: I don't know anywhere else where someone can post a completely ordinary looking .vif of something like a spinning flower, or an audio file of the sound of wind chimes, and suddenly you have half a dozen people blushing and at least one
catarunkin going into heat. The social dynamics that come about as a result of having a bunch of really horny people who can get turned on by completely mundane stuff are really, really fun.
Oh, and there's also the fact that, once you're conditioned enough, you get to the point where someone else says something
mildly suggestive and half your brain just, like, shuts off. The difference between subbing in hypno contexts and regular D&S is that one of them has you basically half-drugged and unable to even think properly, and as a result of that you can end up getting people spacing out in the middle of a conversation just because something triggered a bunch of associations in their brain, and it's like, really cute. Also it lends itself to this kind of, predatory dynamic where hypnotists will see their subjects starting to space out over something and immediately
pounce on them and it's really hot having that done to you awawawawawa-
Uh. Yeah pretend I didn't say that. I am referring, of course, to doing that, and would absolutely of course never want that done to me.
Anyway, yeah- I like this way of doing things a lot and it's kind of foundational to how I engage with relationships now. Part of it is probably because being hypnotised is one of the only ways I can feel safe? It shuts down all of the parts of my brain that make me anxious and flighty and scared, and it just feels reeeeeeally good.
If I ever do find a partner, I think it's going to have to be someone who's into hypnosis. I just can't imagine having a proper relationship that didn't have this as a component in it.
