To preface, I think my hypno fetish started as a child and was seeded in my head. When I was in 9th grade, it resurfaced, and I was obsessed with hypno dom fantasies. It usually involved me creating a harem of girls that I liked, and ordering them to have sex with me and each other. When I think back in it, aside from embarrassment and slight arousal, if feel a bit bad.

Is that a bad thing?

Depends how far you detach it from reality. If it's just a fantasy, rad. If it's something you want to do, keep it safe, if it's something that overtakes rational thought, get help.

I would say no--I had similar fantasies at that age, except with boys that made fun of me. They're just fantasies, they don't hurt anyone.

nope, its common. its even more common if you have a mental disorder, but it is still common

I'm with Pinky and Craz, it all depends on how much control the fantasy has. I have the same fantasy and I know that it is best to keep it just that, a fantasy.

Ok...I'm glad I could get your input. It never over took reality, so I guess it's all good. Thanks guys...

hell no. I had the same feelings as you did when i was still in middle school

You and the others are right...

And what's weirder is that now I lean towards being a sub rather than a dom...I wonder what's changed since then to make that happen...

Seems a perfectly normal fantasy to me. Even someone who isn't into the hypno fetish would like the idea, I think. xD

Hell, sometimes even when it is just a fantasy, my conscience starts kicking in like 'didn't you just remove someone's will, wouldn't this be rape? If they weren't dazed, they would be mortified,' and then the guilt sets in. I'd say it's normal to pause and question some of it, but like others said, probably not a huge issue.

A hypothetical question for everyone that relates to this topic. If somehow you did obtain mind controlling powers and could use them to live out your fantasy without any negative repercussions do you think you would've done it?

Yes 100%

Mostly just make super rich people give me money. I mean with enough money I could get the rest of what I want without feeling guilty.

See, the question is, would you have consent from the person you used the ability on and can you reasonably convince them that consent was offered without any form of manipulation. Once actual removal of free will is brought into the equation ethics and trust are thrown out the window and you have to accept that by doing things you are going in to dark and grey areas which require you to own your actions.

Could I do that? I honestly don't know.

Would I want to? Yes. But either living with the other party not trusting whether I did something to them or not OR not letting them know I did anything and living with that secret? That sounds pretty heavy.

At least with guided imagery it is all trust and mutual fantasy. I can get behind that.

Me: what bellchan said
