Sexual Hypnosis: Does It Really Work?

Sexual hypnosis really works. By directly accessing the subconscious, hypnosis enhances sexual arousal, increases desire, removes mental blocks, and deepens pleasure. It is a powerful mental tool that is increasingly used consciously within intimate relationships and erotic exploration. Never misuse hypnosis and always act ethically and responsibly.


This form of hypnosis is not what many people expect, where someone completely loses all control over their body. It is more comparable to bringing someone into a mental state similar to being aroused and/or deeply relaxed.

You hypnotize or arouse someone using words of affirmation, increasing the likelihood that he or she becomes aroused or that mental blocks are reduced. The chance of having more pleasurable and intense sex is increased, but this method never offers a 100% guarantee.


Hypnosis and sexual arousal

Hypnosis influences the brain on a deep neurological level. Sexual arousal largely originates in the brain, not only through physical stimuli. Through hypnosis, critical thinking is bypassed and attention is directed straight to the subconscious mind. This is where desires, fantasies, and arousal are formed.

Through suggestion and focus, physical sensations are intensified, shame is reduced, and the threshold to pleasure is lowered. People under hypnosis experience more intense orgasms, greater surrender, and a stronger connection with their own body and their partner. Hypnosis opens doors that normally remain closed.

Just like a wet dream, it is not necessary to become aroused by seeing or physically touching something; thinking about certain topics and fantasizing in itself is already a form of hypnosis.

Techniques and applications

There are various techniques for applying sexual hypnosis, both in therapeutic and intimate settings. Below are the most important ones highlighted from a consulted article:

Technique: The use of hypnotic relaxation therapy involves guiding participants into a relaxed state through hypnosis, presumably using suggestions that promote calmness and relaxation.

This therapy was used to improve sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Researchers used the Sexual Activity Questionnaire (SAQ) to assess sexual pleasure and discomfort (1).

Application: Sexual hypnosis is used to sustainably improve intimacy, strengthen self-confidence, as a diagnostic tool, or as a supplement to behavioral therapy. Hypnosis can also be applied as a direct intervention (2).

 

Applications in Real Life

  • As a diagnostic tool: Hypnosis can help identify underlying causes of sexual dysfunction.
  • To improve self-confidence: Hypnotic suggestions can strengthen a client’s self-assurance and sexual self-esteem.
  • As a supplement to behavioral therapy: Hypnosis is combined with behavioral therapy to address sexual dysfunctions.
  • For direct symptom reduction: Hypnosis can be used to directly reduce or eliminate sexual symptoms such as erectile problems, pain, or anxiety.

 

 

How can you safely use intimate hypnosis at home?

 

  1. Ensure clear, mutual consent.
    Discuss what you both want and do not want, and agree on a safeword.

  2. Create the environment for a more pleasant experience.
    1. Set the bedroom temperature to 21–22 degrees Celsius
    2. Light candles
    3. Play soft ballad music
    4. Tidy the room
    5. Provide soft, warm blankets
    6. Prepare massage oil for a possible massage
    7. Lay out towels
    8. Take a shower
    9. Make sure sex toys and lubricant are within reach

  3. Start with standard relaxation hypnosis.
    Think of calm breathing, progressive relaxation, or visualization.
    Only when this works well should you use it in an intimate context. Optionally apply a massage. Use only general, positive suggestions.
    For example: relaxation, trust, being present in the moment. No controlling or coercive suggestions.
    1. Breathe slowly and deeply through the nose, out through the mouth.
      Focus on the rhythm of your breathing.
    2. Slowly tense and relax muscles from feet to head.
      Notice how each body part relaxes.
    3. Imagine a calm, safe place, such as a beach or forest.
      Visualize releasing all tension with each exhale.
    4. Softly say things like “I feel relaxed” or “I am calm and present.”
      Always keep suggestions positive and safe. Maintain this for about 20 minutes.
    5. Now slowly return to full awareness.
      Gently move your hands and feet. Open your eyes when you are ready.
    6. Discuss your experience.
      Share what felt pleasant and what felt less pleasant.

  4. Stop immediately if discomfort arises.
    Hypnosis must always remain voluntary and comfortable.

  5. Use it to increase connection and relaxation, not to control behavior or make someone do something against their will.

 

It is all about creating the right mood, atmosphere, and warmth, so you maximize the chance of being open to each other.

Remember: hypnosis is an option, but the best way to share the bed more intensely and more often with a partner is knowing how to bring the other person to orgasm.
