Multidimensional Orgasmic Loop: Multiversal Pleasure and Folding Orgasms
by Brian David Phillips •
One very very nice thing about eroticatrance or erotic hypnosis is that you can physically, emotionally, and spiritually experience sensations and effects that are physically impossible. For instance, the concept of Multiversal Pleasure is pretty abstract . . . one experiences not only the sensual pleasure of one’s own context, here and now, but also…

Suggestibility & Hypnosis: The Breast Inflator
by Brian David Phillips •
Some hypnotists use Suggestibility Tests to determine if someone can be hypnotized . . . uh, nope . . . the Suggestibility Effect IS Hypnosis.

Puppies on Fire when Guided Imagery goes Wrong
by Brian David Phillips •
