“The Intriguing Origins of Hypnodomme Explained”
Today, I would like to take you on a captivating journey into the origins of a fascinating practice — Hypnodomme. I wrote the book nearly 20 years ago. And still haunts me today.
Hypnodomme, a term that might be new to many, originates from two words: ‘Hypnosis’ and ‘Dominatrix.’ It is an intriguing blend of the psychological practice of hypnosis and the world of BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, Masochism).
The practice of hypnosis dates back centuries, with early evidence seen in the healing temples of ancient Greece and Egypt, where trance states were used for therapeutic purposes. Fast forward to the 18th century, when Franz Mesmer popularized “animal magnetism” (a precursor to hypnosis), laying the groundwork for what would later be called hypnotism by James Braid in the mid-19th century. Hypnosis was subsequently utilized in various fields, from medicine to entertainment.
Parallelly, Dominatrix, originating from ‘Dominus,’ the Latin term for a male owner or lord, made its mark in a different realm. The dominatrix, as a professional role in BDSM practices, is believed to have roots in 18th-century London’s ‘governess’ brothels. Here, the dominatrix would assume a role of authoritative female discipline. Over time, this role evolved, integrating diverse practices, props, and power dynamics.
It wasn’t until the late 20th century, with the advent of the internet and growing acceptance of alternative sexual practices, that hypnosis and BDSM intersected, giving birth to Hypnodomme. This unique niche is all about psychological control and influence, with the hypnodomme inducing a trance state to explore power dynamics and submissive tendencies.
Understanding the history of Hypnodomme gives us a deeper appreciation for the complexity and nuances of this practice. Remember, as with all BDSM practices, consent, communication, and safety are paramount in Hypnodomme.
Stay tuned for more fascinating insights and exploration of this topic in our upcoming book. As always, I welcome your thoughts, questions, and reflections on this intriguing journey into the subconscious mind.
I posted a few videos on Youtube to share with people how Hypnodomme is done through literary — metaphor and story.
