It can also be used to help you get more out of your role-playing and fantasies. And it can be a lot of fun. In this book, Peter Masters takes you firstly through a step-by-step guide to hypnotising your partner, and then explores how you can use hypnosis to: - Heighten their sexual feelings - Help them focus and stay involved longer - Create compelling sexual fantasies - Help them get more involved in your role-playing - Give effective posthypnotic suggestions to your partner which they'll respond to after your hypnosis session is over The second half of the book is packed with practical examples and hypnosis scripts which you can use straight from the book, or which you can adapt and modify to suit you and your partner.

About the Author

PETER MASTERS is primarily a teacher, sports instructor, computer geek and writer. He has been interested in hypnosis since his early teens. To make sure he fully appreciated it and got it "right" he studied for and achieved a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy by the time he was 20. Although these days he doesn't directly use his qualification in any of his professional activities, he still tries to keep his hand in, and to stay in touch with the current literature and developments. This book is the result of both research, and of private-life exploration over the last twenty years with a variety of partners. Like most of his projects it started out as a way of finding and filling in the gaps in his own understanding. With any luck he hopes to bring an air of rational understanding and practicality to a topic which has too often been seen as akin to magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new "toy" for the bedroom, April 19, 2003

By 

Magdalene Meretrix (Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Look Into My Eyes: How to Use Hypnosis to Bring Out the Best in Your Sex Life (Paperback)

I was curious to read Master's book because I have been hypnotized several times myself - though in a therapeutic setting, not a sexual setting. I haven't yet tried the techniques outlined in Master's book (though I've passed my copy off to my partner and am curious to see where things go) but I can say, speaking from my own experience of being hypnotized many times, that Masters has written an excellent guide to hypnosis for the lay person. His instructions are clear and very detailed and he often explains the reasoning behind his instructions as well so that the reader will be able to confidently adapt the techniques for individual situations. Masters even covers many of the "glitches" I personally experienced as a hypnosis subject and explains ways to avoid or minimize those situations.

Masters spends a good amount of time explaining the ethics of hypnosis. This is very important since hypnosis requires a good amount of trust and is an activity that can be abused by the unscrupulous. Despite the possibility for abuse, however, Masters makes certain to point out that hypnosis cannot force someone to do things that they wouldn't otherwise be willing to do. This is not a book for someone who wants to trick people into going to bed with them or force people to do things against their will. This is not a book of techniques to save a failing marriage. Hypnosis is about enhancing what is already there, lowering inhibitions against following one's inherent desires, helping one to gain the courage to explore one's desires more closely and so on. The author does not come across as preachy when discussing ethics and his writing style makes it interesting to read what might otherwise be a dry topic.

The reader should expect to spend a lot of time and effort implementing the ideas in this book. This is not a book one just reads and then sets down and is done with -- to get the most out of this book, one has to be willing to work on the exercises. Progress is slow as Masters wisely advises couples to take their time getting into hypnosis. In fact, Masters strongly suggests that the first session consist only of hypnotizing one's partner, checking to see if they are in a trance, bringing them back out of the trance and talking about what happened. Don't expect to be able to read this book in the afternoon and then have fully hypnotized active sex that evening unless you are already an expert hypnotist and your partner is already a proven subject with whom you have worked before. If you want an instant sex toy, get a new vibrator. This book is for people who are willing and able to put a lot of effort and time into building creative and vibrant sex play.

For those interested in using the ideas in this book professionally (such as dominatrices and other sex workers), Masters offers sufficient information and advice that is readily adapted to a professional setting including a short section about the BDSM applications of hypnosis. He also covers what sort of people should most definitely not be hypnotized and workers can use this information for screening purposes to "risk out" those for whom hypnosis play would be more dangerous than erotic.

One of the most valuable aspects of this book, in my opinion, is the copious inclusion of scripts. When I think about hypnotizing a partner, my biggest fear is that I will not know what to say or not remember the best ways to phrase ideas. Masters includes scripts for inducing hypnosis, scripts for dealing with various hypnotic situations and even suggested scripts for sexual fantasy play. Of course many of these scripts should be modified so that they more accurately fit individual situations. A really dedicated reader could even type out the scripts with appropriate modifications and print out their own personal scripts for play sessions.

I found this to be an excellent book and clearly written. I am eager to begin working with the techniques to add a little extra spice to bedroom play between my partner and myself and recommend this book to anyone who wants to add some adventure and mystery to their sex life.

This book takes a look at using hypnosis to "bring out the best" in your sex life. It shows you how to heighten arousal, add to roleplay, and enhance a connection with your partner, among other topics. While the topic of using hypnosis had in the past made me a bit nervous, Masters' approach to the topic is at times gentle and humorous and makes you comfortable with using it. As he points out, it is not about coercion or being forced to be hypnotized against your will. And the book's scenario examples are quite entertaining to read.

I haven't spent as much time with this technique as I'd like yet, but it's already proving effective for me and my guy. I was very skeptical at first because, while I believe in the potential for hypnosis, I feel like it's not something that I could learn to do without a lot of training. But this book has actually already begun helping in the short time we've been trying it. I imagine that partly due to my boyfriend's natural susceptibility to hypnosis, but either way, this book helped a lot. I was expecting to have to write that Masters' other books were more helpful, but this has been astonishingly useful for us in just a couple weeks since reading it.
