203 - Red Flags in Files

Recreational hypnosis files can be… kind of a wasteland. While it can be a fun way to have new experiences, there’s no quality control for content or safety. Even experienced subjects run into problems. Here’s what it looks like when things go wrong.

…when I run into audio files with no disclaimers about causing dependency and addiction, and does just that, it makes me TT_TT!

Like, no text script or warning tags, and at 21 minutes, he’s pulling out

  • feel a calling for my presence
  • need to feel my voice again
  • you’ll want to trance with me more
  • to feel our connection to grow[…] needing my control, needing my presence,
  • feeling so grateful for the one that turned you [into a vampire lol]. there’s a special connection there. ”

-Yuzu In Wonderland

Addiction suggestions aren’t safe, but that doesn’t mean the hypnotist here is inherently ‘bad.’ What makes this aforementioned file clearly problematic is…

  • No warnings about addiction.
  • Embedding addiction suggestions deep into the file.
  • Suggesting an emotional connection to the hypnotist.

Techniques

Abusers use files against you in two major ways, both starting with the same vectors.

Unscrupulous recordings often start harmlessly enough with a content overview and run-of-the-mill induction. Things get screwy when there’re sketchy suggestions further in, after your guard is down. This includes…

  • Seeing the hypnotist differently, usually in a positive light or feeling a deeper connection.
  • Directly suggesting yearning or addiction.
  • Suggesting becoming more comfortable with suggestions.

Most subjects will catch on and stop listening to the file. They’re not targeted at “most subjects,” just the ones that are naïve enough to go along or “hear out” the rest of the file. The mark will either listen to more files from the same author, or re-listen to the same one, becoming more comfortable with “fun” addiction and closeness.

It’s worth mentioning - it’s unlikely this will get you in trouble on a single listen, but this is where suggestions compound and become nefarious.

I think a lot of people do like the idea of being conditioned to associate their tist’s voice with pleasure, and like you say, going into it informed is key. It doesn’t have to be a predatory thing if it’s something both parties want … the problem is so many newbies aren’t aware of how strong those associations can actually get over time, and predatory folk will capitalize on that. -Algorhythmique

It used to be a pretty common sight to see files that would cause addiction, gradually increasing discomfort. Permanent chastity is a perfectly cromulent fantasy until the “cure” file is $50.

The second option mostly leans into suggestions of “emotional closeness.” The mark contacts the hypnotist or starts communicating with them directly. As with the previous abuse red flags sections, they’ll welcome you warmly into a relationship centering around hypnotic control, and use that as a vector to use you.

Screening

Fortunately, there are a few things we can do to reduce our risk. Before engaging with a file…

  • Pre-screen the audio. You can listen at double speed and see if anything is off.
  • Make sure the label matches the contents.

If you didn’t see any mention about safety on the description, and they hint at emotional closeness or boding, dump the file. A single suggestion about being more comfortable with their voice is probably fine - it could be ‘hypnokinky’ and playful. It might be time to leave if it’s repeated and reinforced.
