by Brian David Phillips • December 30, 2005

Nails driven into coffin, enPOTS: goodbye everybody. enPOTS closes down. This really does bite the big one.

Please Note: The student has since admitted to making his story up. See the comments for an appropriate link. Grrrrrr.

female turn ons . . . more

by Brian David Phillips • December 25, 2005

More at Forumosa on female turn ons. The question was raised as to what one should do in order to engage a woman’s imaginative or sensual response (turn on a woman) once initial attraction is set. This really does depend upon the girl and upon the guy. What shakes your world may only rattle the…

by Brian David Phillips • December 21, 2005

This is not a typical competition. For one thing, hypnotists don’t normally have competitions . . . not like the various magician’s groups that have this or that king or master or grand champion of magic . . . hypnotists tend to leave each other alone or compete in the market place rather than on…
