A buffet of blank and obedient boys, an adorable smorgasbord of men waiting for orders, a charcuterie of sleepy cuties to control. Somnefarious, if you see this, I LOVE your designs for men.

Man, I have been on an ADVENTURE these past few days.

Hi again, Somnefarious! I checked out your Tumblr and realized I actually hate hypnosis. I kept thinking, "why is this hot? This should all scare me, I'd hate to have this happen in real life." So it was hot enough to stay on my mind, but scary enough to stop me from jacking off ever since I left that comment up there.

So after finally calming down, I jacked off to this a few minutes ago. And thanks to the power of post-nut clarity, I realized that I just hate it! Drugging isn't cool, manipulating memories is just gaslighting, forcing someone into something they don't want to do is just peer pressure, steadily implanting suggestions to change someone is just grooming, acting without consent isn't hot, and most of the "wholesome and consensual" hypnosis content I've seen either COULD have started from someone forcing their victim to give consent, or explicitly DOES start that way. If anyone else on this site is feeling similarly conflicted about their hypnosis kink, I hope this helps.

Your art is still fantastic, though! And I did love your consensual stuff, like using hypnosis to stop insomnia and panic attacks, or a temporary stupor for a bit of fun. Maybe more of that, and less "my husband may have permanently lost his memory, my best friend may be an unthinking drone with no trace of his actual self, I have no idea what my trigger does and am forced to wander in endless terror of the fact that I may lose control of my body and mind at any point, and he/I was kidnapped and forced into this state, despite doing nothing to deserve it?" Just a thought. :)

It's okay if you've tried this out and found that it isn't for you. That being said, fiction and reality are different. As long as someone can understand the difference between them, it's fine to enjoy things in fiction that wouldn't be good in real life. For instance, lots of people play video games where the player character hurts or kills other humans, but that doesn't mean those players want to do (or ever would do) that in real life. Lots of TV shows or movies have things like murder or zombies, but a person can enjoy that media without wanting it to happen in the real world.

Fetishes are weird, and human sexuality is weird. As long as you're not hurting anyone in the real world, it's okay to enjoy exploring what turns you on, even if it doesn't make logical sense.

@Hypnorgasm

I know. And I regret making this post.

Somnefarious was the first time I've really focused on the mental fuckery and not just the erotica. And it... scares me. I'm really bad at separating fiction from reality when it's immersive - if it's a violent game, I don't get immersed in the murder aspect at all. If it's immersive horror or gore, I get too furious at the antagonist to enjoy it.

I would hate it happening in real life, yet I STILL find it really alluring. And since I don't jack off to it, and it's sfw, there's no sense of closure when I'm done. It just... weighs on me. I hate that I enjoy it because the idea of it still really scares me. My rational brain can't justify enjoying the fear in these young men's eyes, the realization that their fates aren't theirs any more. But I keep coming back here to look at this stuff anyways.

MAYBE it's exploring what "turns me on," I don't really know if this is what the feeling IS.
