Hypno-Play/Hypnotism
Hypno-play uses guided focus, suggestion or the idea of hypnosis as part of a consensual fantasy.
What is hypno-play?
Hypno-play explores the atmosphere of hypnosis through focused attention, spoken suggestion or roleplay. For some, the appeal is the feeling of letting go; for others, it is the fantasy of being guided by another person.
Hypno-play is not the same as clinical hypnotherapy, and hypnosis does not give someone control over another person’s choices. The premise, suggestions and boundaries should be agreed beforehand. Anyone involved remains free to pause or stop.
