One of the first things you learn in any high school psychology class is that Freud believed everyone's problems were the result of sexual repression. And one of the first things you learn in college psychology is that he was right and that other than things with direct medical causes, like schizophrenia, almost all mental health issues have sex as an underlying cause. So, a psychoanalyst like me spends most of his time trying to get his patients to open up about their sexual hang-ups. You know, their gender preferences, their fear of rejection and of course, Freud's favorites, how they feel about their mothers and fathers. Then, once you get them to open up, getting them to accept their desires and helping them to cope with them, if they can't be readily accepted.
Unlike a lot of my colleagues though, I don't want my patients spending years in my care, while I try to get them to confide in me. I'm more interested in helping them get on with their lives, than in keeping my appointment books and bank account full. So, I use a little hypnosis in my sessions, both to get them to open up quicker, and to reinforce the solution to their problems. But, while I'm ethical in not fleecing their bank accounts with long drawn out therapy, I've recently started crossing the line by using some of my patients to take care of my own sexual needs. I mean, if hypnosis can get them to admit that they want to fuck their fathers, it can also make them believe that I am that father temporarily, and get them to act out those desires with me, right?
That's what makes hypnosis so dangerous and why all professional hypnotherapists must be licensed and properly trained. Because, while you can't make someone do something under hypnosis that they wouldn't do when awake, you can fool them into thinking they are doing one thing when they are doing something else that's similar. And you can make them believe that the person they are doing something to, is actually someone they want to do it with. Which is why it speeds up my therapies, since I just have to make them believe I'm someone they can trust their secrets to. And why I can get them to have sex with me, by making them think I'm actually the person they've been dreaming about fucking. The only real problem, is learning enough about that other person, to play the part, because any actions that are too different will cause the patient to slowly awaken from their trance. And why I never make the attempt until I know enough about their fantasy person to risk trying to act like them.
My first attempt at sexual hypnosis, and how I know it works, was with a girlfriend I had in my sophomore year at the university, named Allison. She was open to almost everything sexually, and I never had any complaints about what we did in bed. But, she had one major fantasy that I wasn't comfortable with, and that was to have a threesome with another guy. And, since she'd already fulfilled mine of having one with two girls, her and her friend Stacy, me not being willing to make hers come true, was putting a strain on our relationship. So, I cheated by hypnotizing her, and making her believe that my thumb was a guy named Bob, and my middle finger was one named Rick. Then, while she was sucking me, I slid Bob into her pussy, and Rick into her tight asshole and fucked her with those, while making her believe there were three of us there. Then, after I came in her mouth, I rubbed some of her pussy juice on my own cock, and had her suck me again, as Bob, while he took my place in her ass, and Rick moved to her cunt. And finally, after rubbing both fingers all over my cock, to give it the right taste, I had her suck me a third time as Rick, while my fingers filled her other holes again.
In the morning, I expected her to figure out that it hadn't been real, especially since the voices I'd used for Rick and Bob had been lame at best. Instead, she was appropriately loving and appreciative for my having made her fantasy come true. And, she treated me like a king for almost a whole month, until it all fell apart, when she asked for something I couldn't give her. That was a repeat of what we'd done with the two guys, only this time, she wanted Stacy there too, so they could lick each other, and us, between fuck sessions. But, while she initially accepted the excuse that I'd been so uncomfortable during the first time, that I didn't think I could go through with it again, our relationship lasted less than two months after that. And while I dated many other girls before I got my masters degree, I never used the same trick on them that I'd used on her. She, on the other hand, went on to become the main attraction at a few fraternity gang bangs, until she finally hooked up with one of her professors, who had no problem providing the swinging lifestyle she obviously craved.
When I started my internship, while working on my doctorate, I also perfected the ethical uses for hypnosis. Meaning using it to get to the root of a patient's problems quicker, and to give post hypnotic suggestions that made it easier for them to implement the necessary changes in their lives. Even though it had been almost 10 years since Allison, I was already a board certified psychiatrist and a licensed hypnotherapist for two years before I was tempted to use hypnosis sexually again. And, it wasn't for my own sexual gratification then either, it was because I felt it was the only way to really help a patient of mine named Sarah.
Sarah was a cute and shy 24 year old, brought in by her father, for what he thought were grief issues over the loss of her mother 5 years before. She'd quit college after her mother's fatal accident, to help her father get through it all. But, while he was ready to move on, Sarah had dedicated herself to keeping everything in their life the same as it was when her mother had been alive. Worst of all though, besides her not getting on with her own life, she refused to let him get on with his, and was an emotional wreck for weeks afterwards, if he went on a date with anyone. So, what he needed me to do was get his daughter to accept the fact that her mother had passed on. And that him seeing other women, to get the sex every man needs wasn't the unforgivable sin she obviously thought it was.
Except, three weeks into her therapy, by using hypnosis to get her to confide in me, I found out that her hysterics had nothing to do with protecting the memory of her mother. They were because she had taken her mother's place in her father's life, everywhere except the bedroom. And while she was too shy to tell her father that she wanted that place too, there was no way she'd let another woman take the man that was rightfully hers. My moral compass might be a little skewed, but my primary concern is the welfare of my patients, not what society thinks. Besides, most of the sexual problems in the U.S. are caused by people's desires conflicting with what is considered acceptable behavior. I mean, even with the new found freedoms in the LGBTQ community, a large number of them still have unresolved mental health issues. So, the question to me wasn't whether incest was right or wrong, it was whether it was what Sarah really needed to live a healthy productive life.
The answer was patently obvious, since she'd lived as his wife in every other aspect, for the last 5 years. And her hysterical jealousy was grounded in the belief that she should be the one to take care of his sexual needs as well. There was no doubt that she would never be happy until her father was fucking her justlike he used to fuck her mother. So, why wasn't she in his bed already then, if she felt it was where she belonged? Was she afraid her father would reject her and hate her for being that kind of slut? Highly unlikely, considering how many times she'd secretly watched him masturbating, with her name on his lips as he came. No, it was because she knew she wasn't enough of a slut for him, having only had sex twice, and she'd disappoint him as a lover. My trying to convince her, even while she was in a hypnotic trance, that he'd gladly teach her what he wanted her to do, fell on deaf ears. Because she'd heard her parents make love often enough to know what her father liked in bed. And he'd even kicked one girl out of the house, after she told him she wasn't into anal sex. So, until she knew how to give him all the things he wanted, she had no business getting into his bed.
That's where my ethical dilemma came from, Sarah being unwilling to approach her father, because she didn't have enough experience to be a good lover, yet refusing to do anything to get that experience because she couldn't be unfaithful to him. And, not letting him get the sex he needed, from other women, because that would mean he was unfaithful to her. I suppose I could have explained the situation to her father and have him convince her that he would gladly teach her. But, while I was sure he wouldn't turn her down if she came to him, I didn't think he'd make that move himself, especially knowing that I knew about it. A true Catch 22, since she wouldn't go to him until she had the training that only he could give her, and he wouldn't give her that training until she came to him herself. There was only one way I knew to resolve it, and that was to hypnotize her into thinking I was her father, and teach her enough to get her to go to him for the rest of her training.
