Eel Soup

by Brian David Phillips • July 25, 2004

Do NOT watch this . . . really, I’m serious . . . don’t look at it. Eel Soup. It’s more than a whole lot of disgusting and the only reason I am sharing it is for the same reason a thousand others have posted it . . . I want to share my pain.…

Les Boom . . . in Taipei?

by Brian David Phillips • July 23, 2004

Having had this article pointed out to me . . . Babes Breed Les Boom . . . and then asked the question, "What about Taipei?" While Tatu and the rest might be one aspect of lesbianism used to sell product, I really don’t think it’s part of a boom in lesbianism in and of…

Covert Tests and Convincers for Somnambulism within Hypnotic Guided Imagery

by Brian David Phillips • July 22, 2004

I received a rather interesting email request for some advice on testing for hypnotic responsiveness and thought I’d share my response here. I have removed the name and email of the person who asked the questions. My wife and I have been playing with erotic hypnosis for the past few years and have had some…

Handclasp Conversion Hypnotic Induction

by Brian David Phillips • July 21, 2004

The handclasp/locking induction is a classic. It is basically a suggestibility test that has been converted into an induction. It can be done straight or with another set as a rider. Recently, someone on one of the many lists I belong to, someone wrote of having trouble finding the induction described online or of finding…

Bird Woman

by Brian David Phillips • July 21, 2004

If you want to . . . you can pretend that Joel Williamsen’s Bird Woman isn’t incredibly kool . . . but, then you’d still just be pretending. These motion tests for the character are just plain awesome. See here, here, and here. Wow, wow, and wow!

Shes Lost Control

by Brian David Phillips • July 21, 2004

I’m a sucker for Dita Von Teese so seeing her in an Agent Provocateur video is rather on the nice side . . . although I could do without the Bush references . . . well, then, maybe that’s what makes it funny as well as sexy . . . Shes Lost Control . .…

How the Mighty Have Fallen

by Brian David Phillips • July 21, 2004

Linda Ronstadt . . . I used to listen to her albums all the time (yes, back in the dinosaur age when we had LPs, right before the Jurrassic period) . . . I still have a copy of a videotape of her Pirates of Penzance performance (wrote a paper on it back in grad…

Poetry Reading: Lover

by Brian David Phillips • July 20, 2004

The poem is called Lover and has some very interesting play with words . . . a la Ginsburg . . . the reaction of the audience members is also interesting to see. Not a poem for everyone, me either. He could have made it so much more interesting and visceral if he’d taken the…

This Land

by Brian David Phillips • July 19, 2004

Karl said this was funny. So . . . I gave it a looksee . . . This Land . . . yep, it’s funny. Good music, clever commentary, just enough reality to be scary.

Writing an Adult Film Script

by Brian David Phillips • July 18, 2004

Pornblography has a take on writing a script for an adult film replete with a sample script which makes one really wonder as to where the craft of it all is. This isn’t nearly as good as the two I wrote way back in college . . . albeit, mine were never actually produced so…

Japanese S&M Hypnosis Therapy Update

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

For those of you who remember Ai Aoyama and her Japanese S&M Hypnosis Therapy (see here), she’s gone on to bigger and better things and has worked with the Japanese government as a diplomat to North Korea (see here). Evidently, she specializes in "grip diplomacy" in which she uses her skills at putting men off…

White Snake

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

Big goings on . . . Lady White Snake will be the largest budget film in Taiwan cinema history. It is an English-language adaptation of the classic Chinese tale. Filming is a joint effort with the kiwi folks who did the visuals for Lord of the Rings and will be shot in New Zealand. I…

Breast Enhancement via Hypnosis

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

On one of my umpteen discussion lists, a woman in her late forties asked about using hypnosis for breast enhancement. Basically, she has lost a lot of weight and has found her breasts shrinking along with her waistline and wonders if hypnosis can help regain support since a number of studies have shown that hypnosis…

Monkey Brains

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

My wife, daughter, and I have recently been watching a lof of Indiana Jones . . . all the movies back to back followed by ten of the televisin series films . . . therefore the scene from Temple of Doom with the monkey brains is still in our heads . . . so, when…

Of Tribes, Trance, and Creating Memes

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

Dr. Omed asks What’s your tribe? in an excellent essay on memes, early man, art, fear, and trance states. His points on penis cutting and rites of passage as a way to focus concentration and accept suggestions as well as the phenomenon of Hell Houses is very well taken. These folks may believe they are…

Dolphins and Sex?

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

I love Dolphins, really I do. I also think whales are great. I’m one of those folks who believes that certain species of dolphin, whales, and elephants (I didn’t say ALL such species) demonstrate that manking is not the only intelligent species on the planet, that we are not alone in the universe and that…

Gore on Bush

by Brian David Phillips • July 16, 2004

I know it’s old news but the speech is worth reading . . . Al Gore, 26 May 2004. Results so far . . . none.

Nipple Buttons

by Brian David Phillips • July 15, 2004

This month’s challenge theme at the Hypnosis Technique Exchange is Using Hypnosis to Increase Erotic Sensitivity and Response. Given some recent discussion in that forum, I thought I’d play with something a little off-the-beaten-path a bit and created something a long the lines of what I call Nipple Buttons This is not so much a…

Diversity of Opinions

by Brian David Phillips • July 15, 2004

Karl at Chewin in the Chung makes some excellent points about respecting diversity of opinions: I have great respect for the diversity of opinions and beliefs to be found on the internet, on blogs, boards & personal sites. Since we only find absolute truth in logic and mathematics, healthy debate and expression of different opinions…

Benda Showers and There is Much Rejoicing

by Brian David Phillips • July 15, 2004

Johnathan Benda is taking a shower now . . . and Taichung breathes a sigh of relief. Taichung has been pretty nasty with a lot of folks out of water since the damage caused by the typhoon caused the gate controlling the water supply to drop. That’s a lot of people. Glad to see it…

Corbett’s out doin’ the couple’s massage thing and says he’s found the perfect hands . . . guys get a gal and gals get a guy but Corbett pines for a big beefy bruiser to rub him down . . . okay, I’m off-reading that . . . he doesn’t give the address of the…
