This episode plunges us straight into the exhilarating world of hypnokink with the unstoppable HypnoStory (they/them) — a hypno educator with over 25 years of experience who’s as inquisitive as they are wickedly playful. We unpack what hypnosis is (and what it absolutely isn’t), explore the nuances between erotic hypnosis, stage hypnosis, and therapeutic “change work,” and dig into how hypnokink can amplify intimacy and consent in fresh, unexpected ways. HypnoStory also shares hilarious (and often mind-melting) personal stories—like when they suggested a tentacle fantasy that just happened to match what someone secretly fantasized about—proof that play and connection are powerful. We also journey through their communities: the Hypnokink 101 video course (accessible via sliding scale), and CONsolation, their ongoing Discord-based kink and hypno kink community that grew from a canceled conference into a thriving, inclusive space for education, connection, and spicy conversations. If you’ve ever been curious about hypnosis, consensual power exchange, or just want a wild, thoughtful, and freakin’ fun conversation—start here.The Hypnokink 101 class is available on a sliding scale at - https://www.pandastory.love/101The discord group is called - CONsolation - https://discord.gg/UrtkFT5dOther Mentions: Read Only Mind - https://readonlymind.com/James Tripp - https://www.hypnosiswithouttrance.com/Sarah Sloan - https://www.sarahsloane.net/Devyn Stone & his property Guan Xuan - https://www.devynstone.com/Hannah the Scribe - https://hannahthescribe.com/
