At one point I was a certified hypnotherapist. It isn't something scary or evil as you will never do anything you don't want to do - your subconscious mind keeps you safe.
It is like you are driving the car and the hypnotist has the map helping you get where you want.
If you are open and willing to hypnosis - you will be hypnotized. I use to love the ones who use to say that they didn't think they could be hypnotized, but willing to try it. They were the ones that usually went the deepest and got the best results.
You might have seen stage shows where people do silly things like cluck like a chicken and etc. The hypnotist looks for people who are easily hypnotized and then while up on stage - says some things to pick the ones who will act silly on stage (like if they were drunk).
I had a Dom who use to hypnotize me before, during and after sex - it was so awesome, sensual and mind blowing. I never did anything I didn't want to (hard limits - the fucker tried, but I just wouldn't), but the hypnosis helped me go places I didn't realize that I had a desire to (if that makes sense).
