Fantasies about hypnosis often focus on control. While the hypnotist does not have to be dominant, and the subject does not have to be submissive, hypnotic play often explores those tropes. In this class, we’ll see how D/s fantasies come to life through hypnosis, in both short-term play and long-term dynamics. Taught by a Dominant and submissive in a years-long hypnotic relationship, we will show ways to share the intensity of hypnotic power exchange while still being fully based on consent. While this class does not teach introductory hypnosis techniques, beginners interested in exploring D/s are encouraged to attend.
