It worked! I didn't really believe it would. But it did. Wow!
Craig was teasing me about my relationship with Rachel. I think he was just envious because he hadn't had a date in years, much less a steady girlfriend. But he was razzing me over the lack of progress I'd made with Rachel in the sex department. And I couldn't deny that it frustrated me. Rachel and I would kiss and grope. She finally let me bring her to an orgasm with my fingers and, then, with my tongue. Once she got on to that, she more than let me; sometimes she almost forced me. She loved it.
But things were decidedly one--way. A couple of times, she'd fondled my cock, but only for a few strokes--never long enough to get me off. And her lips hadn't ever been within a foot of my cock. I'd hinted, both with words and gestures. There could be no doubt that she was aware of what I wanted. But she seemed to have no intention of satisfying my desire.
Craig knew all of this, of course. He knew everything about me. He's a good friend and drinking buddy. And it was on one of these nights of drinking, first at a bar and then back at Craig's place, that the teasing was at its peak.
I finally told Craig to knock it off and he knew that I was serious. And, then, he got serious, too.
"I know how you can get Rachel to jerk you off, or suck your dick or do whatever you want her to do."
He had my attention. When he went on, though, I was pretty disappointed. What he was suggesting was using hypnosis!
"Yeah, where did you get that idea? From the back of some sex magazine you were beating off to?"
"Say what you want, Mike, but it works. I know it can be done." Then he paused, maybe thinking better of what he was claiming. "I mean, I guess not everyone can be hypnotized so I don't know about Rachel. But a lot of people can be hypnotized. And, if you can hypnotize someone, you can get them to do practically whatever you want."
"So, genius, how do you know all of this?"
Craig told me that he'd been hypnotized as part of a magician's act years ago. He'd seen a tape of the show and, so, knew how he'd embarrassed himself at the magician's command and didn't recall any of it when he'd been brought out of the trance. That got him interested in hypnosis and he'd studied up on it and tried it out.
"How come I didn't ever know this about you?"
"It was years ago and I haven't really done anything with hypnosis for years. But I'll bet I could hypnotize you now."
"I don't think I could be hypnotized," I said, but I wasn't sure why I thought that.
"Neither did I when the magician called me up."
"Okay, buddy, have at it. Do you need a pocket watch to swing in front of my face?"
"No--just something for you to focus your attention on. I can use this candle." And he lit the candle and placed it on the coffee table in front of the chair I was sitting in.
"Now, I'm going to ask you to focus your attention on the candle and you have to try to follow my suggestion. Just relax and focus on the candle. Forget about everything else." He went on in this vein with the "relax, you're getting sleepy" type of stuff for quite a while. And, the truth was that I was getting very relaxed. I think I was close to drifting off to sleep. But I guess I wasn't going into a hypnotic trance. After about ten or fifteen minutes of this, Craig gave up. It was difficult for him to admit defeat.
"I guess you're just not easily hypnotizable."
"Or, maybe," I suggested, "all of this hypnosis stuff is bunk."
"It's not. Trust me." Craig was earnest, but I was still skeptical and made no attempt to hide it.
"Okay," Craig said, "you can hypnotize me."
"I don't know what to do," I replied.
"It's easy. Just do what I did to you and it will work. I know I can be hypnotized." Craig looked at me for a while and then urged me, "Go ahead. Try it."
So I did. Craig sat in the chair and stared at the candle. I talked to him in the soothing way he'd talked to me. And, as I did, I could see him go under. It wasn't like he fell asleep--at least not like a normal sleep. He was out, but I could talk to him and he'd respond. His response was slow and completely passive. He didn't initiate any talk; he simply responded to what I asked.
He could have been faking, though. In fact, when that thought occurred to me, I realized that this was just the sort of thing that he might do, and then laugh about for months later. So, I had to be sure he wasn't just putting me on. And, of course, one way to do that was to give him suggestions to do embarrassing things. So, I did that.
I had him up on the coffee table flapping his arms and clucking like a chicken. Trite, but not a bad start, I thought. Then I had him get down on his hands and knees and crawl over to his dog's food bowl and eat some of the kibble in it. I was pretty sure, then, that this was no joke on his part. I mean ... it won't hurt him to eat dog food, but he wouldn't do it just for a joke on me.
"Just one last thing," I thought. I got him to stand on the coffee table again and this time I had him drop his pants and underwear. I had him pull his shirt up and show off his cock and balls by putting his hand under them and pushing them forward to display them. Then I ordered him to turn around, bend down, and pull his ass cheeks apart. He was exposing himself completely to his best friend who was standing, fully clothed, just a few feet away. This wasn't something he would go along with for a joke.
His response to all of this was kind of slow and a bit listless, but he did everything I asked him to do. And I'm pretty sure I refuted the "you can't make anyone do anything under hypnosis that they would object to doing" theory.
And then it dawned on me. I'm not sure why it took me so long to think of this. Maybe it was in the back of my mind from the beginning but, if it was, I didn't realize it until just then. Why was I doing this? What was I practicing for? I was trying to see if hypnosis could get Rachel to suck my dick. What better way to determine that than to test it out with Craig. He'd already eaten dog food and exposed himself to me. I was pretty sure he was completely under my control. So, why not test that out and benefit from the test at the same time. It had been so long since I'd had sexual release from any source but my hand.
"Get down off the table," I commanded. Craig's pants and underpants were still around his ankles and, so, this proved to be very difficult for Craig. It probably would have been difficult even if he weren't in sort of a daze. So, I told him to pull up his underpants and pants. When he'd done this, I had him get down off the table.
"Walk towards me." And he did.
"Get down on your knees." And he did.
"Now unzip my pants and take out my cock." And, Jesus Christ, he began doing that, too. Shit! This was going to be great.
Craig had a little trouble getting my cock out of my pants because I was already beginning to harden. I helped him a little. It seemed like the least I could do for a friend who was about to suck my cock.
"Now lick the underside of my cock like it's the sweetest lollipop you've ever tasted." I didn't know where the "sweetest lollipop you've ever tasted" came from, but it worked. Craig's tongue was out and running along the underside of my cock, which was quickly at full mast.
"Take my cock in your mouth and suck it; work your lips up and down my shaft."
