Sex and hypnosis

Put simply the major sex organ is the brain. Beyond a doubt. And it affects the other organs involved beyond a doubt. The possibilities are endless and very enjoyable indeed.

With my next girlfriend I will experiment. I'm taking some time off from that stuff now though. I'm certain you can enhance attraction, arousal, craving, desire, perceptions of beauty all mentally alone. You can make your partner perfect. It helps if they are cute to begin with though. Would require less of a trance I'd imagine.

I'm not sure if sex is a "need" but I think it is a profound want. It's largely what defines us as human, I think.

Take care,
Mentat

Bob, Brian great reply.

If you are not familiar with hypnosis, or anything else you may want to comment on, in my opinion you should not comment until you have enough information to allow you to be familiar enough to have an educated discussion.

So your statement:
"So, again, while I'm interested vastly in psychoanalysis, hypnosis is also an interest. I don't think hypnosis helps one learn about themselves or others. I think out of all psychology psychoanalysis is the greatest at getting one to learn about themself and others."
This statement is without knowledge of the subject you are commenting on. It would be like me commenting on heart surgery. Something I know nothing about.

Good luck and happy learning.

What certain authors have said this and where? Please provide the citations and explanations. Where did you hear anything regarded to genuine IQ enhancement through denial of sexuality? Baudelaire and his quaint views on losing novels when he had sex were superstition not scientifically demonstrable. I would strongly contend that the opposite is more likely to be true.

I am curious how many actually "do away with sex"...even if they say they do, we can not prove it. Reports are all second hand... not first hand (no pun intended).

It kind of reminds me of when I talk to my cousin (who wants to lose weight) I ask her..."What processed crud did you eat this week?" and she says "Nothing...I swear!

as individuals they may want sex. as a species sex is needed to procreate.
biologically the desire for reproduction is in hormones.

people can live happily without ever having sex. but the human race will become extinct if no one has sex. this is until we perfected cloning of course.

Mentat,
I haven't read any of the other 19 replays (at this writing) - but how you define sex may be a factor here.

1) I view humans as physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, social, sexual and economic beings and I believe that each part of us requires nourishment in order to enjoy fully integrated and healthy lives--

2) I am not questioning the effectiveness of any approach used by a masterful hypnotist - I am saying that I believe that we empower all of the techniques and methods that we use. Without our skills and abilities and our client's skills and abilities to respond to them -- all hypnotic techniques are lifeless.

The world has changed dramatically in the last 50 years as has psychotherapeutic theory and practice...What remains unchanged is that most licensed mental health professionals who use hypnosis - view hypnosis as a tool that can enhance their psychotherapy. Example, once upon a time "Analytical" psychotherapies and "Therapists Centered" approaches rule the day and hypnosis was used to help locate the ISE and fix it. Today, most licensed psychotherapists using hypnosis are using the hypnosis to enhance the "Cognitive" and/or "Behavioral" and "Client Centered" approaches they are now using.

Hi Donna,
I couldn’t help but notice your dialog with your cousin. I would be willing to bet that if you ask a question like, "What processed crud did you eat this week?" that you could almost count on the answer being less than desired.

I hope I’m not out of line by sharing not only a theory I have and also a theory of Erickson when it comes to getting someone to give you answers that people call truthful.

My personal theory on people telling their truth, let me re-phrase that, my theory regarding lying:

I don’t believe that people lie as much as I think that people don’t allow someone to be honest. And I derived this theory from…..a kid will tell a neighbors parents things that they should not only be telling their own parents but even ask questions that they are to afraid to ask their own parents. And I think that is because there is no threat of judgment, punishment, or ultimatums.

One of my personal sayings that reflects what actually happens for me, is, “I’m as honest as you will allow me to be.”

Erickson’s way of getting some personal information from a client was to tell her that he didn’t want to know anything that she didn’t want him to know….that he only wants to know what she is willing to let him know. He knew that once someone feels safe, they will tell all.

I don’t believe people lie as much as I believe people don’t allow truth be told.

It’s a goal of mine to become that person who allows truth, (anybody’s truth), to be told and not have fear guide answers to me.

If I’m out of line by sharing this with you I can understand and learn from your feedback. Sometimes I do speak before I talk myself out of it…..and sometimes I have to admit, I should keep things to myself, I hope I’m wrong.

Sincerely,
Steve

~grin.
No, you are not out of line - share your thoughts anytime!
I agree with you.
I probably could have 'posted' on here the history of it all...but I thought it best to cut to the chase. Which - is not always easy when posting on a forum with people who actually 'listen' to the mental grammer and 'analyze' comprehension of speech.
But....~shaking head~ I post anyway. (I am totally laughing) glutten for punishment? Maybe so...
More of the story:
I'm sure there was a time...
~mentally checking for that time...not sure that I know of one...crap, I hate this self-aware b.s.~
...when I allowed her to tell me the truth (ohh...a few years ago) - which...
~since I can't think of an example, refuse to blame myself (grin), again that darn self-aware crap budding its head,~
...I'm sure she didn't share the truth!
So, it has now come to blunt, no progress, plain, let us keep everyone in the rut they were born with, speaking.
You have reminded me... it is time - to change my ways with her.
I guess I treat my clients better than I do family.
GR8t!
JOY!
Thanks
A LOT
You
are such a huge help.

seeking real,
~~D.

I thought high schoools taught Maslow's hierchy.

Living happily without sex, not sure about that but do know that the shampoo does not last as long. Coincidence?

Sex as a desire or a need? Well my opinion is I desire to need it and more so depending on the arousal level and how naked she is. Just kidding.

I know that sex sure can take you from grumpyy to happy in less than five minutes. Oops, I mean a cuople hours.
