This evening, I received an anonymous ask on Tumblr:

Can you recommend any good sources for learning about (erotic) hypnosis?


I'll start with the standard answer, which is to rec Mind Play, by Mark Wiseman. I have not read it myself, but I have heard many glowing reviews.

(I have also heard "Busman's Holiday", which I *have* read, described as basically an early draft of Mind Play with a fictional framing story. (see this post for more on how you shouldn't *always* trust the "don't try this at home" warning on the front page of the Erotic Mind-Control Story Archive))

---

I start with the book in part because I picked up a lot of this stuff through osmosis, and that makes it relatively difficult to name specific sources.

A few blogs that I have been known to read:

Jukebox

Ella Enchanting [note: *both* rarely-to-never posts NSFW images *and* has been included in the ArchiveTeam scrape, so it should be reasonably stable on that front]

Deeper For Me (if you read the AO3 thread I linked recently, you might recognise this post in particular)

---

Hmm, maybe I'll read Mind Play. It'd be nice to be able to rec it from personal experience, and there might be tidbits in there I haven't osmosed (likely some neat turns of phrase, if nothing else).

---

I went to double-check that my blog was set to allow anonymous comments, and found that in fact it was not. I've fixed that.
