âDonât think.â and Other Bimbofication Mistakes (and now not to make them)
I recently saw a lovely post saying âdonât tell me Iâm getting hornier, make me hornierâ. Â Thatâs a good point. Saying âyouâre getting hornierâ is much lazier than actually doing the fun things that make someone hornier.
Same thing goes for being âdumbâ.
So we have to do a little semantics. What does âdumbâ mean? First, weâre not talking about the ânot speakingâ literal meaning and focusing on the ânot smartâ meaning.
If you are a Tist, try to imagine that someone gave you the instruction âbe more dumbâ. How would you comply? What may have made sense to tell others to do suddenly becomes.. impossible? Think less? Think worse thoughts? How can you even begin to do that?
Thereâs an old quasi-hypnotic trick called âdonât think of an elephantâ to highlight the presence of the âthink of an elephantâ suggestion but also the irony of telling someone not to think about something makes them think about it. Â
So when someone tells you âdonât thinkâ⌠how exactly is that supposed to work?
If youâre a sub, and you have ever been given that instruction (and you tried to comply) youâre very likely to have been sent into a bit of an anxious spiral; âdonât think about what? what was I thinking about? Does this count as thinking?â and similar. We are thinking animals. Being told to stop thinking just makes us think about that. Like the elephant.
Here is a few of the more specific behaviours that can be implemented hypnotically which result in dumb, but donât demand it.
The concept of intelligence is illusive but the ability to focus for extended periods of time is in the running. If you cannot do that, and keep losing your train of thought before it even made it all through
I had a very interesting trans sub once who responded beautifully to subtle cues that she would accidentally issue herself which broke her line of thought.Â
Maybe the easiest to implement. We are all capable of and familiar with the feeling of forgetting. That feeling that something was just there, and not it isnât. That feeling of reaching for something inside your mind but not being able to find it. That feeling of having just thought of something and now itâs goneâŚ
Increase the frequency, increase the amplitude and normalise that sensation.
Like sorry what were we just talking about again?
It is embarrassing, isnât it? When you are speaking to someone, especially if itâs in a public or professional setting and you forget what you are saying in the middle of it. Â Embarrassment is a physical response thatâs remarkably easy to stimulate (and so a good practice for new tists) and tie it to broken concentration.Â
(By now, I hope you are imagining how these suggestions stack as beautifully as Russian dolls. Keep that in mind, as we go.)
We all smile (or hopefully we do). Smiling isnât a bimboesque activity in itselfâŚ
Smiling as a response to any of the above. Smiling when you are confused, smiling when you are lost, smiling when you have forgotten again. Smiling can be both the outcome and the trigger of any of these
Smiling is a defense mechanism. It can be what our faces go to do automatically and itâs so easily achieved, and can so accidentally happen, it can be very powerful to a competent tist.
I donât mean like that. I mean in gentle ways. We often intuitively, instinctively look for a distraction when are embarrassed, confused or otherwise uncomfortable. People fidget when theyâre nervous. The body naturally wants to move to âescapeâ difficult situations.
Use that in subtle ways. Touching arms, face and hair are good. Even directing eye movements downwards and encouraging a need to âstretchâ by arching her back and so on are all easily accessible, not very noticeable (from the subs perspective) and readily tied to other suggestions.
Horny and drunk.. those are the two states we are all at our out-and-out dumbest.Â
Those are the states where we absolutely cut off the blood supply to those critical faculties in the brain. Â If youâre not going to trance her to be or feel drunk (though again, remarkably achievable to do) then use her arousal.Â
Pairs well with âTouch selfâ
Think of a time you didnât understand something. Perhaps it was a conversatoin happening around you. Perhaps it was a maths equation from school. Hone in on that moment of being exposed to information and the experience of not understanding it. It is a specific kind of feeling, itâs tangible.Â
Bringing a subject to recall such a time, capturing it in trance, and then attaching it to some of the others in this list, can work beautifully.
Confusion, as Iâm sure youâre aware is also a naturally induced state of heightened suggestibility. Donât forget that.
Our brain is one of the most expensive organs in the human body to run, in terms of energy consumption. Imagine trying to read a dense, small-text, archaic history book when you are up late at night after a hard day.
Feel how your mind just bounces off it. Thinking is hard. Itâs weight lifting for your brain. After a hard day people like to relax by watching television or something easy on youtube or twitch.. things where you can just stare and not think for a while.
Taking a situation that is easy, cognitively, and capturing (and attaching) the feeling of just not wanting to think is going to be useful.Â
The reason every stoner talks about recording their conversations and why every recording of stoners is the dullest dishwater of conversation you will ever hear is because getting stoned is very much a bimbofication process.Â
Your critical faculties diminish to the point where absolutely every half-baked (pardon) idea feels like the deepest think youâve ever said. Itâs also why you will struggle to find a conspiracy theory a stoner wonât believe.
Gullibility, is a specific property of being without your critical mind. WIthout your critical mind you are just more likely to believe⌠whatever you are told. It just seems plausible? Or possible?Â
Stacks well with forgetfulness.
Like with âforgetfulnessâ, we often have that feeling of searching for a word and not being able to find it. Itâs a familiar feeling and easy to replicate in trance.
Not being able to remember a word is easily extended to not being able to remember a specific word (probably one of the most basic hypnotic tests), and hence thereâs nothing stopping you from suggesting a subject canât remember a specific kind of word.. like a word with three syllables.
You should be able to daisy chain any of these together in almost any order and be able to make some pretty patterns.
Forget a word â> Embarrassment â> Smile â> Touch self â> Arousal
Broken Concentration â> Confusion â> Embarrassment â> Gullibility
What you have here are lego-blocks of suggestions so I would just recommend building them together in whatever way you like and add in a few more interesting pieces as you go and build yourself a fun session.
(Note 1: Be ware. If you are going to do this work with a hypnotist you are necessarily handing them a considerable amount of power. There is no meaningful bimbofication that doesnât make you vulnerable. Gullibility and an inability to think critically, for example, can be a dangerous cocktail to drink with a tist you donât know very well. As always, you should be working with a tist you know and trust.
Note 2: On a point of clarity, there are many dimensions to peopleâs âbimboâ kink. Sometime it centres around body modification. For otherâs, itâs a financial-living arrangement, having an older person afford a lifestyle of leisure for the âbimboâ. Â I want to say this post centres on the âhypnosis/ mental conditioningâ dimension of bimbofication but that, itself has a number of aspects (behavioural, clothes selection, self-perception etc.). Â This is a post on, what is commonly referred to as âbimbofication hypnosisâ, but really means to say âdumbing downâ hypnosis. )
