This evening, I received an anonymous ask on Tumblr:
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.

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