One-line definition
Erotic hypnosis is psychological play that uses hypnotic technique to build erotic experience or power dynamics.
Full definition
The community calls it hypnokink. It applies hypnotic suggestion and trance to erotic scenes: amplified sensation, behavioural suggestions, trigger words set to fire later. Because it acts directly on awareness, the very faculty consent depends on, it is treated as one of the highest psychological-risk categories of play. Negotiation belongs entirely in the fully awake state, and debriefing plus removing any suggestions afterwards is a baseline responsibility rather than a courtesy.
Risk reminder
Interactions touching memory, behavioural suggestion, and existing trauma can have real psychological effects. Susceptibility to suggestion varies widely between people, and recordings or videos found online are no substitute for informed negotiation. This archive provides terminology, not technique.
