Safety Tips for New Subjects

Before diving in to any kink, it's a good idea to understand what you're getting into. Hypnosis isn't like the movies, it isn't mind control... but it also isn't just roleplay.

  • In order to keep your play fun and avoid doing things to yourself you may have to work to undo later, take some time to learn what you're putting into your mind.
    • Read content labels, summaries, transcripts if available.
    • Listen awake / without participating first, at least until you are confident in your ability to reject suggestions and wake yourself to stop a file you're no longer enjoying
  • Know your likes and limits, and respect your self-consent.
  • Make sure you listen in a safe environment.
  • Adjust to keep your body comfortable.
  • Have water nearby to drink after, or even during, a trance session.

These are a few general tips, but there is always more to learn. The more you know, the safer you'll be, and the more fun you can have exploring! Therefore, consider checking out the resources I've linked below:

Sleepingirl

I respect this person a lot as a kinkster and a teacher of kink. You can read her summary of hypnokink safety here, her article "On Becoming a Skilled Subject", and honestly, I like all her books. If you're in a hurry, at least read that first link; it's a great summary.

A useful article on subject safety:

Monsieur Laurent has some introductory info here, and while I don’t know him or anything about him, I agree with this entry.

If you're on Fetlife

Nath has some advice here on Fet that I find solid and helpful, especially for subjects struggling with or concerned about messes left in their minds by shady tists, and here's someone else's post about learning to go with suggestions.

The Whole Hypnokink Info Rabbithole

A friend of mine has put together a collection of all the best hypnokink information we've ever found or heard of, which they call the Erotic Hypnosis Resource Collection. You'll have to register to participate, so have a kink Google account ready. If you enjoy deep dives as much as I do, you'll have a blast here. ;)

Trance safe, and have fun!
