I don't spend *much* time in hypnofetish circles these days because TBH I have had enough SJ Discourse for one lifetime, and I never attended any meetups or anything, but I still flit around the edges and overall think that spending a couple years reading and occasionally interacting with their blogosphere was a valuable experience. Though it is still the case that I have never had (broadly defined) sex, a future me who is sexually active feels *plausible* now in a way it never did before: I have a sense now of what that would be like when things were going well, and what to watch out for, and what can be accomplished.
And as I mentioned in the previous post, I finally learned masturbation techniques that actually suit me, which is probably the most important thing given how...I was going to say "how autophilic I am", but it seems like the standard definition is narrower than the one Alison uses in this thread.
(While it was not portrayed as being based in hypnosis, and memory play is a limit for me so I have no personal experience, I do get the impression that my brain based the feeling of being bewitched on the descriptions I've read of what compulsion-to-lie pseudo-amnesia feels like.)

I have not literally read the book on hypnotic amnesia, but I've read a bunch of people who have.
