 Well welivetogether, she had me there. We welivetogether'd only welivetogether been living together a few weeks when I came home one evening to find her on my PC, surfing my favorite hypnofetish story sites. For a few seconds my life flashed before welcome my eyes: I braced myself for a tirade about what a pervert I am welcome, how sick I must be to find that kind welivetogether of depravity entertaining, etc. I welivetogether think welivetogether she read that in my face, because she welivetogether immediately welivetogether jumped up welivetogether and hugged me tightly. "It's okay welivetogether," she whispered into my ear. "I have most of the same sites bookmarked on my laptop." That's when I knew this relationship was welivetogether going to work.
 Carol flashed us a thousand-watt smile. "It's great to welivetogether meet you," she said. "The others are already here. Come on welivetogether back and get comfortable."
 Call me an welivetogether idiot if you like welivetogether - until that welivetogether moment welivetogether, I didn't connect "Carol Sherman, CCHT" with that voluptuous creature. I was expecting some scholarly, kind, Angela Lansbury type. The reality turned welivetogether out welivetogether to be more like welivetogether Catherine Zeta-Jones. Not welivetogether that I minded, of course.
 "I want to thank you all for welivetogether coming tonight," she began welivetogether, that silky voice grabbing our collective attention easily. "I'm your instructor for this course. To my patients and welivetogether colleagues, I am Dr welcome. Sherman; in here welivetogether, though, I welivetogether like to keep things casual and welivetogether friendly welcome, so please just welivetogether call me Carol."
 I felt myself nodding automatically welivetogether as she continued.
 "As you welivetogether know from welivetogether the course description, this workshop is about hypnosis for couples . I welivetogether've been a welivetogether practicing welivetogether hypnotherapist for about five years now, and for the last two I welivetogether've welivetogether specialized in treating sexual dysfunctions in both men and welivetogether women. In that time it's been my pleasure to teach hundreds of couples how they can welivetogether use hypnosis welivetogether to enhance their love lives welivetogether. If you welivetogether stay with me and work together over the three sessions in welivetogether this class, I promise welivetogether you that the experience will change the way you think about sexual pleasure."
 Carol paused welivetogether a minute to let it all sink welivetogether in. "Now welivetogether listen to this very welivetogether carefully," she continued. "The hypnotic suggestions welcome we use in this class will welivetogether be limited to things that have proven safe and effective welivetogether for our purpose. They will involve creating welivetogether and welivetogether controlling desire, causing or enhancing physical sensations, and welivetogether overcoming inhibitions. I'm welcome sure you welivetogether are all aware that hypnosis is also used medically to help people lose welcome weight, stop smoking, and things like that welivetogether. That welivetogether's welivetogether called hypnotherapy, and welivetogether it takes years of practice to become proficient at it. We will not be conducting therapy in this class."
 Carol turned to face the speaker. "You're Ellen, right?"
 "As we welivetogether go along, I want you welivetogether to be aware of your breathing and each welivetogether breath welivetogether you take. Each time welivetogether that you exhale, let your welivetogether neck relax, let your shoulders drop, let your hips and thighs go loose. It will feel wonderfully good."
 I had a welivetogether pretty decent welivetogether buzz going welivetogether already, thanks to the music and the soothing welcome tones of Carol's voice. My body was heavy and limp, but I could feel the wrestling mat underneath me supporting me, making welivetogether it possible welivetogether to let welivetogether every welivetogether muscle go. My mind wandered for a second, then I realized Carol was speaking again welivetogether.
 She was right, I felt welivetogether as if I'd had a long afternoon nap. I looked over at welivetogether Meg welivetogether and welivetogether took her hand welivetogether; her face radiated a kind of serenity that echoed my own feelings. A slow welivetogether, easy look around the dojo told me that the other welivetogether couples were experiencing the same thing. Well, all of them who were welivetogether left welivetogether - the skeptical Ellen and her companion were gone welivetogether, their mats returned welivetogether to the pile at the back of the dojo. "What happened welivetogether to them welivetogether?" I asked welivetogether, pointing toward the welivetogether empty spot.
 Carol nodded and welivetogether turned to the next welivetogether couple. We welivetogether watched and listened as the other welivetogether couples related their experiences. Most of them turned out welivetogether to be visual types, plus one or two auditory. Meg was the only kinesthetic in the group.
 My field of welivetogether vision narrowed to just welivetogether the road in welivetogether front of me as I tried to ignore the exquisite sensations in my crotch. Finally welcome I gulped welivetogether and found a couple welivetogether of words. "I'm speechless," I confessed.
 In moments I felt my pants fall to the floor, followed immediately by my briefs. Not to be outdone, I lifted Meg's sports top enough to welivetogether expose her breasts and caressed them, noticing with pleasure that her welivetogether nipples felt as hard as welivetogether my cock. Meg dropped to her knees, pulling herself out of my hands welivetogether, and brought her tongue to bear against welivetogether the sides of my welivetogether shaft. She licked me slowly, sensuously, up one side and down the other, tracing rings around the head with the tip of her tongue. One of welivetogether her hands reached around me and started welivetogether stroking welcome my balls. We were both breathing in welivetogether heavy gasps.
 Meg welivetogether's legs wrapped themselves around welivetogether me, simultaneously squeezing my torso and pulling me closer to her center. The rising pitch and frequency welivetogether of her moans told me she was almost welivetogether there. I clenched welivetogether down hard welivetogether with my groin muscle, lifting welivetogether my cock and putting a little extra pressure on the top welivetogether of her canal, and that was welcome all she wrote. Meg shrieked again and again as the orgasm ripped through her welivetogether body . I was so pleased with her reaction that I barely noticed I was still pumping away. Then, with almost no warning welivetogether, my balls burst and welivetogether I came. One spurt after another came flying out like water from a fire welivetogether hydrant welcome; part of me wondered if I was going to pull a muscle this way welivetogether. Finally the welivetogether fury subsided and we collapsed against each other, kissing and stroking welivetogether as we fell into post-coital bliss. A long time later, we separated. We looked at each other in wonder.
 While welivetogether I was up, I grabbed one of the high-backed chairs from the team room and dragged welivetogether it back to my cube welivetogether. From the progress on my computer screen, I figured I had about twenty welivetogether minutes to kill.
 "Something like that," I welivetogether waffled, trying to get myself oriented again.
 The alarm set, I resumed my position welivetogether next to Meg. We each took welcome a welivetogether series welivetogether of deep, slow breaths to welivetogether get ourselves started. As I welivetogether relaxed into the bed, I could sense Meg next to me doing the same. We found welivetogether ourselves breathing in welivetogether unison without really trying welivetogether to. Soon I felt the warm, inviting buzz of hypnosis coming over me and I let go into it welivetogether, confidant that we welivetogether would wake up welcome at the appointed time.
 "Did the clock go welivetogether off?"
 Other than the meeting, the day was a total loss. The first welivetogether tech that came welcome up took one look at the PC, saw it wasn't a standard configuration, and retreated immediately. The welivetogether second one looked at it a bit longer welivetogether, asked me what I welivetogether had changed on the welivetogether system , and looked unbelieving when I explained what welivetogether had happened welivetogether.
 Meg's arms were at her sides, her feet tilted outwards. I could see her eyes flickering around under her closed lids and welivetogether see the welivetogether slow welivetogether movement of her chest as she breathed. She was wearing welivetogether her white silk robe, closed welivetogether but not fastened, and nothing else. She smelled faintly of soap and moisturizer, suggesting that she'd had a shower when she got home.
 As delicately as I could, I rose up and climbed onto the bed. I let welivetogether my left hand take over on her breast momentarily welivetogether while I kissed my way south, parting welivetogether her legs as I came to rest welivetogether between welivetogether them. I kissed her welivetogether thighs, her mound welivetogether, her welivetogether lips, and felt her hips welivetogether start to move up and down. I lifted my welivetogether head long enough to see welcome that her eyes were welivetogether still closed and her face slack welivetogether, then welivetogether dove in to finish the job welivetogether.
 Apparently we weren't the only ones keen to learn more welivetogether: when we reached the welivetogether dojo it was welivetogether a good twenty minutes before the class was welivetogether supposed welivetogether to start, yet welivetogether everyone but Carol was already there.
 A group chuckle erupted - the question was on all welivetogether of our minds, and it was a relief to hear someone voice welivetogether it. Carol was clearly expecting it and had her answer ready.
 Turning quickly to the relevant page , Meg and I skimmed welivetogether the text. It certainly looked interesting. Meg was up for it, so I began studying the script while we waited for further instructions welivetogether. It was short and pretty simple; I had it just about down by the time Carol began addressing the group again welivetogether.
 "Just a few welivetogether tips on how to use these scripts," she said. "First welcome of all, these are not magical incantations. Just reading one of these out loud to welivetogether your partner is welivetogether not going to welivetogether do anything for her. The best way to use these is to welivetogether realize welivetogether that an induction script is little more welivetogether than a series of suggestions welivetogether that you are giving to your partner which will result in her entering hypnosis. Don't bury your nose welivetogether in the book and read the script welivetogether verbatim - read a line or two, understand what it says, and relay that to your welivetogether partner . If the wording feels awkward welivetogether, go ahead and reword it so that you're comfortable with it.
 "Second, it welivetogether's important that you pay close attention welivetogether to your partner's body. If you say that her feet are becoming relaxed, look at her feet and watch for welivetogether a sign welivetogether that they are doing welivetogether it. If you tell her that her welivetogether eyes welivetogether are getting tired and welcome heavy, watch them welivetogether start to blink or welivetogether tear. The more you can pace the patter to what is actually physically happening, the more effective your induction will be.
 "As you're lying there concentrating welivetogether on your breathing," I told her, "I want you to imagine a very welivetogether strange idea. I wonder if you can imagine that you can actually breathe welivetogether through your fingertips. Just imagine that rather welivetogether strange idea, that you welivetogether can actually breathe in through your fingertips." I gave her a few seconds to think welivetogether about that before welivetogether going on. "Imagine that welivetogether you can feel the air moving in through your welcome hands, slowly at first, with perhaps just a faint tingling sensation as it flows past your palms. And now just imagine that feeling moving slowly up your welivetogether arms, through welivetogether your elbows, up to the shoulders. Feeling welivetogether that comforting flow of air moving through both arms, both elbows, both shoulders ."
 I could see Meg's hands twitching a little, her fingers spreading apart just a welivetogether hair, and welivetogether took that as a good sign welivetogether. "As you feel that slight welivetogether tingle, that comforting flow of air moving through your arms, you may notice that it leaves the muscles in your hands feeling warm and loose, relaxed, lazy welivetogether. Just imagine that, imagine the air flowing welivetogether through your hands, relaxing them, bringing that tingle through your elbows and shoulders, relaxing your welivetogether arms completely as it welivetogether flows welivetogether through. Breathe deeply and feel the flow as your arms welivetogether relax so completely." The twitching stopped, and Meg's arms seemed to welcome settle welcome, rising and falling as she breathed in and out.
 "Then that's what will happen, darling welivetogether. 'Goodnight, Gracie' will be your hypnotic trigger from welivetogether now on, and you welivetogether will always go welivetogether immediately into a welivetogether deep hypnotic sleep when I say those words to you. Won't you?"
 "Very good, Meg. Rest now welivetogether, darling. Just let yourself drift and relax, rest and sleep, until I say your name again."
 Meg's eyes opened very slowly, taking several welivetogether seconds to finally focus. "That was welivetogether ... interesting," she remarked as she met my gaze. She welivetogether started to rise up.
 "Goodnight, Gracie." The eyes that were watching welivetogether me glazed over, and the puzzled look deepened.
 "Huh?" She was struggling to keep welivetogether her eyes open.
 One time welivetogether as Meg was waking up, Carol came over. "How are you doing?" she asked, looking welivetogether at Meg.
 "Is that better?"
 Meg was stunned when she welivetogether saw how much time had elapsed welivetogether since the welivetogether start of the hand welivetogether-breathing induction. She had been more or less out welivetogether of welivetogether it for the better part welivetogether of an welivetogether hour. "How much do you remember?" I asked her.
 "This isn welivetogether't a full-blown hallucination," Jim added. "Carol is welcome fully aware of where she really is and what she is really doing."
 "Yes, Virginia," he said, "you welivetogether can use hypnosis to induce an orgasm."
 "Oooooh," she cooed welivetogether. "It must welcome be a goody. What is it?"
 "A strip tease welivetogether, then."
 "Would welivetogether you rather welivetogether do it now?" The other couples' antics had gone a long way toward easing my inhibitions; compared to Pam, what I'd welivetogether set up for Meg seemed relatively tame.
 As I expected, Meg welivetogether's body relaxed on cue. I was able to catch her as she pitched forward and hold her more or welivetogether less upright against me. Her eyes were welivetogether closed, but I sensed welivetogether she welivetogether was welivetogether still awake welcome.
 Carol looked welivetogether closely at Meg. Was that a gleam of excitement in her eye? Meg's legs welivetogether had spread, and she was moaning freely welivetogether as her welivetogether body reacted to the memory welcome of my lips and tongue. "It appears you've learned well," she allowed.
 When it was finally over welivetogether and Meg's labored breathing welivetogether was the only sound I could hear, I looked around: Carol, Jim welcome, and all of welivetogether our welivetogether classmates were staring, spellbound, at Meg's quivering form. Soon Meg welcome opened her eyes, noticed welivetogether the crowd, and realized she was the welivetogether center of attention welivetogether.
 Circumstances conspire now and again to frustrate us . So it was that weekend. Meg was on welivetogether call and ended up working both days welivetogether because the MRI tech who was supposed to be on duty quit suddenly. I found out Saturday night that some clueless VP at our firm had graciously agreed to let a client push up a deadline by three weeks, which pretty much killed welivetogether my schedule too.
 By Tuesday afternoon I was sufficiently caught up that I could seriously entertain the welcome idea of welivetogether going home a little welivetogether early welivetogether. I was tired welivetogether and burned out welivetogether, and I hadn't seen Meg much since Friday. It was 3:20, so welivetogether I dialed Meg's cell phone.
 "Hey. You almost home?"
 I almost made it welivetogether, too. Within 20 welivetogether paces of the elevators, I turned a corner and ran smack into welivetogether Marty , my boss welivetogether.
 Henderson welivetogether was the client who welivetogether'd screwed up my weekend. My heart sank. "When?"
 When I came to welivetogether, Meg was unconscious on the floor next to me. Creaking a little, I rolled partway over and kissed welivetogether her forehead. I went welivetogether on to kiss her nose, her closed welivetogether eyes welivetogether, her cheek, then as I reached her lips they parted welivetogether and welcomed me welivetogether. We welivetogether kissed slowly, lovingly welivetogether, for who knows how long welivetogether. Finally we came up for air welivetogether.
 By Thursday afternoon Meg welivetogether was welivetogether thoroughly welivetogether keyed up. The pizza delivery guy was right on my heels, and I was welivetogether amused to see that Meg welivetogether had already set the table with disposable plates and cups. "Quick, easy cleanup," she explained.
 "I understand welivetogether, honey," I said truthfully. "Last week when welivetogether you were responding to the 'anticlimax' trigger, I was welivetogether a little welivetogether bit jealous of how easily you were able to just let yourself welivetogether go. That's something I want to welivetogether experience first hand."
 "You will," she promised welivetogether. "I owe you a payback or two," she added, grinning welivetogether slyly welivetogether.
 On the way over, I wondered to myself what suggestions Meg might use once she had me under hypnosis. I floated an innocent welivetogether query, but she wasn't talking. "You welivetogether'll find out in due time," she teased.
 I looked over at Meg. She was sitting in the passenger seat quietly, looking out the welivetogether side window. "Goodnight Gracie," I said welivetogether.
 "Good question welivetogether. The answer, as in so many cases when you welivetogether're dealing with the welivetogether mind, is that welivetogether it depends on the welivetogether individual. Post hypnotic suggestions have a lot in common with classical welivetogether conditioning welivetogether, in that the learned responses have to be reinforced welivetogether periodically or they will be forgotten. Exactly how long that takes depends on how strongly the suggestion was reinforced, and how willing the subject is welivetogether to respond. For example ..." she looked over at me. "Patrick, what was the trigger phrase you used last week to put Meg in trance?"
 "Very good," Carol remarked. "When was welivetogether the last time you used that trigger welivetogether with her?"
 "Okay welivetogether," Carol said. "As you can welivetogether see welivetogether, if welcome you welivetogether practice welivetogether using the trigger it remains strong. Is there anyone here who has not used their trigger at least once since last week?"
 "Okay," she said. "Let's make a couple of changes. Meg, start with your welivetogether voice. It sounds like you're trying very welivetogether hard to keep it welivetogether smooth and low. That creates tension, which Patrick can hear. Try to just relax along with him, even let yourself welivetogether slip into a light trance if you want to; the welivetogether relaxation will come out in your voice welivetogether and help put welcome him at ease welivetogether too.
 Things are kind of a blur at that point. I know welivetogether I woke up several welivetogether times. Well, my eyes opened several times, anyway - after the first couple welivetogether I don't think I was welivetogether ever completely awake. I welivetogether remember seeing Meg welivetogether's welivetogether face hovering over me, and it seemed as though it was coming closer and closer each time I saw her. Her face appeared to welivetogether be flushed, her nostrils flaring, and on some level I remember thinking that she was welivetogether enjoying welivetogether this welivetogether a lot.
 I welivetogether came to this time welivetogether on my feet, standing in front of a small pedestal sink and mirror. I recognized the welivetogether room as a small powder welivetogether room off the main room we were using for class. Meg welivetogether was behind me, looking over welivetogether my shoulder with welivetogether a huge grin on her welivetogether face. "Can you say 'somnambulist'?" she teased. "I knew you could."
 Carol took over again welivetogether, running through a review of the different kinds of erotic welcome suggestions we welivetogether had discussed the previous week. "Any questions?"
 Carol saw welivetogether that I was awake and came over. "Are we going to see welivetogether a welivetogether demonstration?" she welcome asked Meg.
 Meg shook her head. "I think I'll let him stew a while."
