“Can hypnosis improve your sex life?”
I received this instant message in bold red letters from a man in New York. Getting some work done on my computer, I didn’t have time to answer this question again.
I get instant messages and e-mails all the time asking me about hypno sex, the popular term used to describe sexual mind control. There are many books available on the subject, which are mostly geared toward men who think that they need help in the sexual department. I do not condone sexual mind control, as I believe it to be abusive and at times dangerous. Although a person will do under hypnosis only what they would do otherwise, hypnosis should never be used without the consent of the person being hypnotized.
Hypnosis can enhance sex in many ways, and it’s worth a try as long as you have ruled out any kind of physical problem with your medical doctor. If your problem is purely psychological, a visit to a good hypnotherapist will get you well on your way to a more enjoyable and satisfactory experience.
Hypnosis will help to decrease anxiety, increase confidence, lower inhibitions and heighten arousal. It can also be used to improve problems with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and impotence. Sometimes it will only take a few direct suggestions to improve your problem dramatically. However, you could require more intense therapy such as a regression session, which will take you to the root of the problem.
Always go to a qualified professional for hypnosis. There are many safety issues that a hypnotist has been trained to deal with, and an amateur has not. Just as you would only go to a medical doctor for medical treatments, you should think twice about allowing a non-professional to perform hypnosis on you.
