Hypnosis can be used for evil

I practice erotic hypnosis. Sometimes I use it for good, "making you feel amazing, awake and aware", and sometimes I use it for "evil", making someone feel small, afraid, immobilized, humiliated or in pain. Hypnosis is a tool that I use regularly for my scenes and in my personal life …

A New Routine (Hypnokink)

In an effort to become healthier, I recently hired a personal trainer. His job is to guide me through exercises to build my muscles. As a hypnotist, I do much the same thing with new subjects.

The One Where Vir Bitches Out Online Roleplayers

I love online roleplayers. I don't just love them, I run a playground for them to play in, nd I do it because I love them.

Different ways of letting go
