I've done about 15 HFO hypnosis audios, and the overwhelming response I've had to them is that they work. I joked about 'collecting' HFO's at one point because every comment was about how the listener had achieved his first HFO.

In writing and performing so many of them, I've sort of pinpointed two things that I think are crucial to a successful HFO audio/experience, and which are often lacking in some scripts or performances.

1. Hypnosis isn't a stage trick or a joke, it's a real, natural state that we all go into during the day. The best example is that dreamy state right before you fully wake up in the morning - at these times you might remember something you were trying to remember the day before, or have a creative insight. When someone is in a trance state like this, their brain waves are in an alpha pattern, which boosts creativity, memory and suggestibility.

The problem with many hypnosis scripts and experiences is that the listener is not given (or gives himself) enough time to adequately reach this state of relaxation. This is called the 'induction' and to be really effective, it should take at least 10 minutes to perform, using a sing-song voice, slowing down, incorporating relaxation and breathing, full body muscle relaxation etc. Then the script/listener should provide for another 5 to 10 minutes of a 'deepener' - an image of a staircase or an elevator or a countdown of some kind....even slower than the induction. Guiding the listener through the imagery of sinking or going down into deep relaxation. And only then, after a solid 15 or 20 minutes of dedicated effort on this, should the script/listener attempt to guide towards the sexual stimulation. An HFO script should be about 50 minutes start to finish, and a lot of people aren't able or willing to put that kind of time in. Binaural is an option, but it requires a lot of editing skill (it has to be seamless, or it will jar the listener out of trance).

1. The listener has to be fully prepared to have this experience. In a lot of cases, there is hesitation from guys who worry about what hypnosis is (because they've seen the fake stage hypnotists or Office Space and think that trance is dangerous), and so they don't fully relax into the experience. Or they've seen the majority of hypnosis videos on Youtube (someone steals mine and makes videos of them as well, so this is how I know about them) which focus on a kind of humiliating femdom or sissification. This makes a lot of guys worry about 'turning over their minds' to someone - but this just simply isn't true. Hypnosis is just a state of relaxation, no one can make you do anything, or plant anything in your head. So to fully enjoy the experience, the listener has to banish these ideas. The listener has to really use their imagination and let their minds go during the induction and deepener and trust the performer.

Some people are afraid they are 'doing something wrong' during it, that if they touch themselves the 'spell' will be broken, etc. This isn't the case. Hypnosis is really just deep relaxation, you can move, touch yourself, etc if you want to. But with practice, a lot of men find that they enjoy the kind of weightless sensation they can feel during hypnosis, and find that their minds and the woman's voice alone are capable of bringing on an orgasm without touching. A lot of guys benefit from edging quite a bit beforehand, even to the point of denial for several days or a week, just to be more likely to HFO.

And of course there is a kind of 'performance anxiety' that comes with it - many men become anxious even before they hit play, worrying that they will fail at this and won't achieve it. Anxiety is a definite boner killer, so it's best to go into these audios without any expectations. Maybe you'll have an HFO the first time, maybe you never will (all men respond diffrently), or maybe it will just take getting used to. I have reminded listeners that maybe they experienced wet dreams when you went through puberty - if so, this is something you know your body can do. You're just going to help it along this time.

But anxiety should never be a part of it. Whatever you get out of the audios, they are a pleasant, arousing, relaxing experience.
