Pierced


The very special pain of piercing lends itself well to hypnosis. As a hypnotist, I really enjoy making recordings. I get to play with different techniques at will, go over my script with a fine tooth comb, and mix in all sorts of fun sound effects, subliminal messages, and music. I suppose making a recording is more about me and of course as a nerd, I like to sit and play with my computer for hours and hours. However, a live induction is very different. I get to see you react, I can change what I'm going to say to fit the exact mood. I can also use different sensations and physical cues, one of my favorite being piercing.

The very sharp pain of being penetrated by a needle focuses the mind wonderfully. It slides in just to the surface of the skin, separating it from the rest of the body, if only for the thickness of a pin. It keeps me close to my partner, unlike flogging or other forms of impact play, but still allows me freedom of movement. And of course I hope the metaphor of my piercing your skin as I pierce your mind is not wasted.
