So, as I’ve [brought up in the past](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=810964), I am an amateur “recreational” hypnotist.

Well, today I finished the first draft of my first file!

WARNING: NSFW TEXT, AUDIO

[spoiler][SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds](https://soundcloud.com/budget-player-cadet/denial-mantra-first-draft-complete)

The file is intended to stick a mantra in your head, and cause you to no longer be able to orgasm. Made on request of a few people in a discord server I frequent.  
[/spoiler]

I thought I would share this here for three reasons:

1. In case anyone is interested in this kind of thing: awesome, give it a look.
2. In case anyone here knows what they’re doing with audio editing, and wants to give me some pointers on where I can tighten up my audio.
3. Because I’m hyper and proud I did a thing and wanna share it everywhere.

Mostly the second, given the proclivities on the board.

So yeah, I did a thing. 😃

Does it contain the words: “Madagascar” and “Constantinople” ?

I suppose it’s none of my business, but what are some typical reasons why someone would _ **want** _ to be unable to have an orgasm?

Not necessarily be unable, but to refrain from doing so. There are several philosophical schools of thought on the matter.

Dianism  
Coitus Reservatus  
Karezza  
Some schools of Tantric sex.

And I’m sure most ladies would prefer a partner who’s not a member of the minute-man brigade.

I was actually hoping for a “Not wanting a cigarette” or even handier, a “Not eating so much crap” mantra…

Can we request an “I don’t want carbs” and an “I want to work out” mantra?

It’s a control and bondage thing. On one hand, people really enjoy the feeling of not being able to control their own body, of losing the ability to orgasm for control purposes. On the other hand, a lot of people really enjoy the feeling of edging, of being stuck right on the edge of orgasm. It can be a fun feeling to ride that edge, and some people prefer it to actually tipping over. It can get pretty weird, I will _freely_ admit.

Maybe the op would be better off marketing it as “delayed orgasm”, then. As it is now, it sounds like he’s going to try to render guys unable to climax at all, ever. Doesn’t sound so appealing.

is this stuff actually claimed to _work_? all it is is two tones setting up a 15 Hz beat frequency and a guy whose voice wanted to make me laugh more than anything.

Hypnosis is not a panacaea. You tend to get out of it what you put into it, and being a subject (technical term for someone who goes into trance) is also a skill to be learned. Trance is a pleasant state, and it makes you more suggestible (and makes it easier to forge connections in your mind), but it does depend, to some degree, on what you _want_ to get out of it. If you go into trance believing that it’s a load of nonsense, chances are good that the suggestions will just wash over your mind, get marked as “nonsense”, and discarded by your subconscious. If you fight the induction, you’ll never even make it into trance. And if a file tries to make you do something you wouldn’t be comfortable doing, your subconscious tends to reject the suggestion outright.

HypnoStory (who teaches courses at hypnosis conventions) put out a file recently, which is _mostly_ safe for work (but I’m still going to bracket it here) that goes over some basics. Nothing sexual, just an explanation of how trance works, a deep trance, some safety tools, and some advice as to how to get the most out of hypnosis:

[Stream Hypnokink Safety Suggestions by HypnoStory | Listen online for free on SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/user-261772227/hypnokink-safety-suggestions)

Another great introduction to these concepts is “Mind Play” by Mark Wiseman, which I have just started reading.

But you can take it for someone who’s been doing this for about a year, on both sides of the pocketwatch, as it were. This stuff _works_. I have submissives who have handed me documents they don’t remember writing and who will slap themselves in the face on command. I listened to a file the other day that makes you forget other relationships, and I _still_ can’t put a name to the face of this one ex I used to be a little obsessed with (and I’m honestly quite happy about that). And trance state is a distinct mental state with some very interesting properties, as confirmed by various fMRI imaging studies.

But it’s certainly not for everyone.

Also, the file has been released on my Tumblr for anyone who would like to hear the finished version (SUPER NSFW!):

[http://bpcshypnoblog.tumblr.com/post/171558414472/are-you-tired-of-being-a-human-would-you-rather](http://bpcshypnoblog.tumblr.com/post/171558414472/are-you-tired-of-being-a-human-would-you-rather)

Any feedback or critique would be super welcome. 🙂

Heh, yep, it worked!

There is a post hypnotic suggestion that you believe the track did not play.

So . . . can you, ya know?
