NoFap and Erotic Hypnosis - contains triggers

I define porn as anything made to sexually arouse especially if the ultimate goal is orgasm. So erotic hypnosis would meet that criteria. Just make sure you know exactly what pmo is to you.

 

I did this but only for a few sec then i could feel that it went over the line

 

Thanks for sharing. I regrettably have a lot of experience with this and it did a lot of damage. As mentioned, I'm referring to erotic hypnosis whose purpose is stimulation for PMO, and not traditional hypnosis with purpose of healing, connection or higher consciousness.

Much of what is out there is simply porn as hypnosis role play. It is one of the worst ways to PMO because it creates a relaxed and focused state with a constant and rapid dopamine trigger through words or visuals.

Even if you are someone who can't be easily hypnotized, you are putting yourself in a classic PMO zone out. It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's porn that encourages you to relax your inhibitions.

Much of the content uses suggestions that you are helpless and addicted. This reinforces the mindset that you can't stop PMO. This can become part of the fix and is a repeating thought that undermines recovery.

Finally, much of this content tends to intentionally stretch your fantasy boundaries, often making forbidden stuff sound very enticing and encouraging you. Much of this is created with the specific intention of getting you hooked more and more. It's a lesser known but very toxic type of porn and I've had huge difficulty getting out of it.

 

I used to listen to a LOT of those mp3s and I really got into it. Even though they helped me achieve a hands-free orgasm, I still consider it porn and masturbation, so I'm abstaining from this too.

EDIT:

I feel I should add more here, in the spirit of full disclosure.

These erotic hypnosis files are a HUGE issue with me, actually more so than visual porn. I was tempted to post about it earlier, but I'm having more trouble with this than anything else. I haven't yet been able to delete all the erotic hypnosis files I have, I deleted my normal porn and I avoid all the sites I used to watch videos on, but I just can't seem to give up these files. I haven't been listening to them since I started nofap, but they really seem to have a hold on me.

To me, they were a lot better than standard porn, I could immerse myself fully into whatever fantasy the woman speaking wanted to create. I won't mention any names because that may trigger someone here to go looking for them, but my god, these were intense. My heart is really pounding just thinking about them and I'm starting to sweat. I'm thinking that because I was able to immerse myself so completely and literally lose track of everything else in the world while listening, maybe they created more of a dopamine surge for me than regular porn?

I'm not really sure of the science behind these recordings, but if you haven't listened to them and you're serious about nofap, then PLEASE avoid them because it'll make this 1000x more difficult.

*Sigh* I need to exercise to work out this tension now, maybe later I'll be able to finally wipe these files from my HD and the two external drives I have them backed up on...

 

I reported the post by hypnodude. I really got into erotic hypnosis, even the "good" kind of hypnosis hypno dude is espousing. I hope his post gets taken down by a moderator. The stuff is seriously addictive. For me, it was much worse than typical porn.

The stuff IS fictional non-real life media that is supposed to make you orgasm. It all has the same effects regular porn. I admit that a very small percentage of this stuff could be healthy if used the correct way, or maybe via a professional, but, the noFap forums are not the place to post links to this. If you are interested in hypnosis as a way to tackle your addiction, I recommend finding a professional in your area.

 

Around last week i registered on nofap and I started my 90 day challenge but around the 3rd or 4th day I had to restart due to erotic hypnosis. I was on YouTube and that's where I saw it, I tried it around 3 times on the same day but on the 3rd try I wanted to reach the full O so I went to porn. It wasn't until now that I realized that there are people here who know about erotic hypnosis. I'm really glad I ran into this thread and thanks for posting about erotic hypnosis.

 

Erotic hypnosis is probably my second biggest fetish. I feel very much the same way as Johnny above; haven't listened to it for quite a while, for like 5 months or something, 4 of which I've been doing reboot and stuff. But still can't get myself to delete those files on my PC. I am 100% certain I want to quit all the other types of porn forever, but erotic audio? I don't know...

I am still not sure if there are healthy levels of porn possible. Some people would say it's all evil and there is no such thing as healthy moderation, I'm still not so sure about that. If it doesn't effect you negatively and you can keep it in control then why not? I've yet to find out whether I can even do it though. I am not consuming this stuff for the time being of my reboot and not planning to do it for a while. But forever? I don't know...

Also, I don't really put it in the same category as generic porn either. I think if done correctly, skillfully and with good taste it can be almost like an art. Erotic in nature does not always mean destructive. Cheap whiskey can be consumed to get drunk fast, or good quality whiskey can be enjoyed slowly. This is how I feel about some forms of erotica. Some of those erotic hypnosis recordings are done in really straight forward, distasteful way to quickly get you bust a nut. Like a cheap porn. But I have listened to some that was very high quality stuff and done in very tasteful way.

My addict's brain might just rationalizing this, I'm very well aware of that. Yet I can't just dismiss it all either...
