connoisseur of creepiness

The cataleptic hold is the induction technique so beloved of stage hypnotists and lay hypnotherapists. This is presumably because with suitable variations it can be built up into a dramatic spectacle, especially if a number of subjects are being hypnotised as a group. As in all induction techniques, the patient is told to lie or sit as comfortably as possible and he is then asked to clasp his hands in front of his chest, with the crooked fingers interlocking. The hands in this technique should be kept away from the chest, so that the position of minimum strain on the arm, shoulder and chest muscles involved is obtained naturally for the patient by pulling his hands away from one another and thus keeping them in tension. If the reader tries this for himself while lying on his back, or lying backwards in an armchair, he will find that it is in fact much easier to pull gently with the biceps and the shoulder muscles in a state of sustained flexion than to maintain the upright position of the arms against the weight of the horizontal forearms, by means of the triceps and shoulder extensors. It is this anatomical fact which is later made use of in the induction of hypnosis by this means. Lying on his back in such a position, the hands clasped in front of his chest, the forearms unsupported, the patient is then told to relax his whole body, starting with the legs and working upwards to the abdomen, chest, neck and all other muscles. But, by implication, this does not of course include the arm and finger flexors, although no specific mention is made of the fact. To induce a trance state with the patient already in this position the following words were used and recorded on tape:

“Keep your hands together, keep your hands clasped and let your whole body go. I want you to keep your arms away from your chest. Just keep your hands clasped, and breathe and relax. Breathe and relax. Let your calf muscles go, let your legs go, completely relaxed. Let your tummy muscles go, let yourself sink. Breathe and relax, and after a while—when I say so—you will find that it is impossible for you to unclasp your hands. Impossible to unclasp your hands. You will find that your hands are fixed together. You will not be able to unclasp them until I say so. Just let yourself go, let yourself relax, let your whole body go. Breathe and relax. Breathe and relax. And now I want you to try and unclasp your hands. You will find it impossible to unclasp your hands. Try. Go on. Try and unclasp your hands. Impossible? You see it is impossible for you to unclasp your hands. So let yourself go, let yourself relax. I am going to count three and when I count three you will find you can relax your hands and unclasp them and drop your arms to your sides. Drop your arms which will be as heavy as lead. And as you drop your arms, so your eyes will close and you will sink nearer and nearer to sleep. All right: one... two... three… Arms as heavy as lead, heavy as lead. Deeper and deeper, breathe and relax.”

A combination of monotonous rhythm, eye fixation, progressive relaxation and hand levitation is commonly used. It combines trance deepening directly with the inductive process and is the method of choice for the induction of hypnosis in almost all cases. Warmth and comfort are essential and everything possible should be done beforehand to relieve the patient of nervousness concerning hypnosis or other causes of anxiety. Lying supine, the patient is then led through progressive relaxation and eye fixation to a modification of the hand levitation technique. The following example of the words used in hypnotic induction by this means is intended as a guide only. In certain portions it is rendered in verse form to emphasise that hypnotic induction is a rhythmical procedure. “Lie down on the couch and make yourself quite comfortable. Relax completely. Just imagine that you are made of lead. Now find yourself a spot on the ceiling, above and behind your head. Fix your eyes on the spot, and if they wander you should bring them back to it. In a little while you will feel very heavy and tired and you will want to close your eyes. When this happens, just let them close. There is nothing to worry about, nothing at all.

“Just relax. Start relaxing at your feet. Let them go loose and heavy. Relax your calves, your calf muscles Let them go loose and heavy.... Relax your thighs, your thigh muscles: Let them go loose and heavy.... In a little while your eyes Your eyes will get heavy too. Your eyes will get heavy, Tired and sleepy, And will want to close.... When they do, let them go. Relax your abdomen. Relax your muscles. Relax your chest Relax your muscles.... Let your fingers and your arms sink like lead Into the couch.... Let your head sink like lead into the pillow.... Let your whole body go, Like a lead weight, Into the couch. Your eyes are very heavy.... Your eyes are tired. It is more and more difficult To keep your eyes open. Very tired.... Very tired.... Your eyes are closing.... Gently.... Let them go…. Gently. You have no desire To open them. Breathe deeply.... Slowly.... Let yourself go. Let yourself sink Like a lead weight Into the couch. Breathe and relax Breathe and relax.... You are now relaxed.... Completely relaxed.

“I now want you to concentrate on your right hand. I want you to think about your right hand lying heavily by your side and presently you will find something curious will happen. Presently it will begin to get light…

“All the weight will go.... It will float Into the air.... Like a balloon.... Up.... Up…. like a balloon. Right up into the air.... Up up up into the air. And as it goes up, So you will go Nearer and nearer to sleep.... Deeper asleep.... It’s beginning to move.... Now your fingers Are beginning to move.... Your hand is beginning to rise. Your whole arm is rising.... And you are going deeper.... Deeper.... and deeper asleep.... More and more relaxed.... Heavier and heavier.... Tireder and tireder.... Your right arm is lighter.... Lighter and lighter As it comes up.... Up.... up and up. Deeper and deeper asleep. Rising up.... Deeper and deeper.... Rising up.... Deeper and deeper. Right up.... Right up straight.... Right up.... Straight up.... Deeply asleep.... Heavily asleep. Breathe deeply.... Heavily asleep.”

The patient is now lying on the couch with eyes closed and one arm raised. He is breathing deeply and steadily exactly as if in sleep, which is precisely the role suggested to him by the therapist. It is now the particular value of this raised arm becomes evident, for although the patient is unaware of it, the muscles supporting the arm are becoming progressively tired, and they will continue to do so just as long as the arm remains in this unnatural position. But the previous suggestions have nevertheless convinced the patient that the arm is light as a feather and has floated up of its own accord. While at times it may be relatively difficult to put over a new suggestion to a patient, in all cases it is perfectly easy to reverse an instruction which has been obeyed as a result of successful hypnotic induction. The lightness of the patient’s arm in this case is part of the suggestion made during induction. To deepen the trance this is now partly undone, and the patient is told that on a signal his arm will suddenly get very heavy and that when it does so, it will drop back at his side and that as this happens he will sink even more deeply asleep. The following words might therefore be used:

“In a moment, When I count three backwards, Your arm will be As heavy as lead.... Heavy as lead Just like the rest of your body. Heavier still than the rest of your body. And when it gets heavy Your arm will drop, Drop to your side Heavy as lead.... Heavy as lead.... And you will go deeply asleep. You will go deeply asleep.... More deeply asleep, Much more deeply asleep, More deeply asleep, Much more Deeply asleep. Three.... Two.... One.... Heavy as lead.... Heavy as lead.... Deeply, deeply asleep.”

The patient is now hypnotised and therefore in a state of greatly heightened suggestibility. He is thus available to receive suggestions which may relieve symptoms or are designed simply to demonstrate the varied phenomena of the hypnotic state. Lying supine on the couch, he has both arms at his sides and is breathing deeply and slowly. His eyes are closed. All conscious anxiety on the part of the patient has now been overcome, but it should be remembered that almost any anxiety or indecision on the part of the therapist will immediately make itself felt. It is therefore important that one’s suggestions should be made in the same rhythmical, even tone, and one should not have to hesitate and think what suggestions one is going to make. The beginner in hypnosis would be well advised to plan what he is going to say beforehand, so that he is never caught at a loss for words and so from induction to suggestions to awakening should be one smooth rhthmical relaxed whole experience. The patient is awakened very simply in the following manner: “In a little while I am going to count to ten, and when I do so your eyes will open and you will feel refreshed and relaxed, as though you have had a deep sleep.

“One, two, beginning to wake, Three, four, lighter and lighter, Five, six, your eyelids are getting lighter and lighter, Seven, eight, almost awake, Nine, ten, wide awake.”

shark was perfectly positioned on the table, their chest and head down, their hips angled up, their hands and feet strapped down, their legs spread apart.

adrianus was slowly, methodically working the lube into them with his gloved fingers, murmuring to them with every rub, massage, and caress. "you were already so wet... i'm just making sure penetration will be as easy as possible... and as you feel the lubricant deeper inside of you... you can fall deeper into trance. your body can become more and more relaxed... just allowing the restraints to hold you in position..."

his touches were pretty clinical, more focused on making sure they were wet and open, but even that turned them on, especially with his hypnotic voice. they felt the tension in their muscles melting away.

"that's it... just like that... very good..."

the praise felt good, too. they could hear the wetness as he slid his fingers inside of them.

"you'll stay nice and open, just like this... ready to be stretched... ready to be filled. just accepting it inside of you... letting yourself be bred... just as your body has been preparing for. feeling so fertile... so ready..."

they were already moaning. any second thoughts they might have had were completely drowned out by arousal. they could feel it getting more sensitive - his touches stayed more or less the same, but each movement was more overwhelming than the last one.

"just relax... even when it feels good like this, even when it feels so good, so deeply pleasurable, you just relax and hold still... you won't squeeze around it until you orgasm... you'll stay open... and passive. it's just instinct for you... to hold still... and let it breed you..."

the suggestions tingled through their whole body, any tension and twitching and squirming just stopping, as a small sound escaped their throat, almost a whimper.

"there you go..." he cooed. "it might make you feel a bit helpless... but that's alright... you are helpless. you have to be. your body has to just allow it... to relax and let go, even when it's overwhelming. you can't fight it... you need to be completely and thoroughly bred... you need to allow all of the sperm deep inside of you. but it feels good, to obey this instinct... it feels good, to just give in, to allow it to happen... to feel completely helpless to it... to feel how your body just goes still... as soon as you feel it pressing up against you... rubbing against your entrance... feeling how you can't do anything except take it... even when it's just my fingers, you might feel a trace of this instinct... but it's much stronger when it's something bigger... thicker... when you feel that precum leaking out of it."

their body was becoming more and more still, and staying that way, but soft moans were still escaping them.

"it's alright to moan, or even to talk... if you're capable of speaking, that is. those sounds might even be stimulating to the one breeding you..."

they might have gotten a little louder after he said that. it was getting harder for them to tell or monitor themself - it was getting harder to really think about much except how good it felt and how much they needed more. their tongue was sticking out a little. they didn't even know how long they'd been doing that.

"i think you're ready now," he said softly, taking his fingers out. "just be patient and stay in this trance for a moment... i just need to get the monster who's going to breed you."

waiting definitely wasn't as fun as the preparation, but the anticipation was enough to keep them turned on. they could still feel the pulsing inside of them, they could feel how wet and open they were. and even when their mind came back to them, just a little bit, their thoughts were mostly about being bred.

they could feel the vibrations of the monsters steps get stronger as it approached, hearing the heavy feet falling to the ground in a steady, slow rhythm. adrianus was murmuring something to it, a little too quiet for them to hear yet, but his suggestions were probably the reason it was moving at that slow pace instead of pouncing on them and rutting into their helpless, exposed body.

finally, it was right behind them, and they could hear adrianus guiding it and giving it instructions for mounting them. their heart pounded. they couldn't even see it - all they knew was that it was big. and it was going to breed them. it must have been hard, throbbing, leaking.

the table shook just a bit as its claws landed next to them - giant, sharp claws. its head loomed over them, still out of sight, but casting a shadow over their body. they could hear the heavy, hot breaths being pushed out of its monstrous lungs and through its maw, they could feel the barely restrained excitement that was only being held back by adrianus' words.

a part of them was almost scared, even though the intense arousal pumping through their whole body, and the trance forcing them to stay calm and relaxed. it was huge. they were pretty good at taking big human cocks, but they couldn't even imagine the size of this thing.

"just relax," adrianus said softly. "i'm just going to guide it... you'll feel it rub against you... and you know that your instincts will take over... and you'll stay nice and still."

they felt it. it was so thick, and warm, and they couldn't tell if it was leaking precum or not with all of the lube already making them wet, but they just had a feeling it was.

they moaned, slipping back down into a deep trance almost immediately, before they could even think about it, letting the huge cock rub against them, poking and prodding against their slick, wet, open hole. they didn't feel confident it could fit in there, but their body didn't move, even as it started pushing against the entrance at just the right angle, the head starting to stretch them.

"there you go... that's perfect... just letting it in..."

it went back and forth, pulling out the head and pushing it back in, using just a bit more force with every movement, pushing for just a little bit longer each time. even with it being so controlled and careful, it was overwhelming. it didn't hurt, exactly, but they could feel how much it was stretching them, splitting them apart, shoving into them bit by bit.

"it might get a bit faster and more rough as it gets deeper inside of you," adrianus said quietly. "but you'll just keep relaxing, and allowing it... it's just instinct... it's instinct for you to hold nice and still... and it's instinct for it to push deeper and deeper into you... to pleasure itself... to make sure it can completely fill you up... and push its sperm deep inside of you. but you can take it... your body is so relaxed and open... even if it loses control... you'll be able to take it. even if it feels overwhelming... even if you feel helpless... it won't hurt you. you're made for this... your body is made for this... and you're doing very well... it feels so good, doesn't it?"

it still didn't seem very deep inside of them, but just feeling the stretch was satisfying. just feeling it go faster, harder, trying to squeeze in every last bit it could, while their body gave in, opening up more with every thrust, was amazing. and between the lube and their own natural wetness, they could really hear it.

its claws moved to their shoulders - it didn't hurt or dig into them, but they could feel it shift position, its body moving with a little more desperation.

it was almost starting to sting, but it was being pushed in faster now, and they could feel that fullness building inside of them. it just kept slipping in deeper, even as they whimpered, even when they wanted it to go a little slower or give them a break.

they could hear a low growl coming from the monster's throat. the sound reverberated through their spine.

"there you go... it's alright... you're alright, shark... this is what your body wants. this is what your body needs... and this is what the monster breeding you needs, too. just keep giving in... letting it go deeper... it will feel so good, once it's all the way in..."

it was so big. that was all they could think. they barely even registered themself muttering and moaning it out loud, saying it was so big, saying it was so thick, until adrianus cooed at them and praised them for it.

they felt weak. at a certain point, they couldn't even talk anymore, just moaning and panting, more loudly than they had earlier, as it pumped into them, shoving more and more of the thick shaft into their sensitive body. it seemed like there was part of it that was thicker, maybe a knot, that just wasn't getting in yet. it started slamming into them, moving their whole body with every thrust, a feeling that was somehow starting to almost feel relaxing. even though the stretching kind of burned, whenever more of it slipped in, it only felt better. the sensory overload itself was entrancing.

finally, the whole thing popped in, filling them completely. even when their muscles were still and relaxed, their thighs were trembling from the sensation, as they babbled about how it was in, how it was all the way in, how they were so full.

adrianus only cooed and reassured them that much more as it rocked deep inside of them, firmly locked in their body. they really felt how they were being bred, how there was nothing they could do about it, how their body was open and fertile and had a big, throbbing cock so deep inside of it, ready to cum and fill them up with virile sperm.

they couldn't stop themself from cumming, choked moans coming out of their open mouth as they pulsed and squeezed around it. just when they thought it couldn't get any more intense, they felt warm, thick cum being pumped into them, so much of it that it felt like it was stretching their stomach. the strained sounds that had been coming from them changed to soft, low, helpless moans - they felt nothing but pleasure and satisfaction in their whole body. it felt so right, like something they always needed.

it stayed deep inside of them, plugging them, even as they came down from their orgasm, panting and exhausted but satisfied and still deep in trance. adrianus pet their hair with a gloved hand as he continued murmuring to them.

"your body will provide the perfect environment for that sperm... allowing it deep inside... directing it to your egg... just letting it fertilize it. and you'll let that fertilized egg implant inside of you... so that it can grow. your body won't reject it... it will feed and nourish it... let it grow inside of you... nice and healthy... you'll be a perfect incubator. won't you?"

the only thing they could do was sleepily nod along.

"it's alright," he assured them. "we'll make sure your whole body stays healthy... we'll take good care of you... and make sure everything is progressing as it should. after all, if you weren't healthy... that would affect the egg, as well. so we'll be sure you can stay relaxed and comfortable... just as you are right now... you won't have to feel any distress, or fear... even as your body changes... even if you feel tired and heavy..."
