Conditioning/Brainwashing

I don't have an example for this one and will instead link to "The Brainwashing Book" by sleepingirl

Another topic on which a whole book could (and has! See above) be written. Conditioning is the process of gradually altering the mind into a form that differs from wherever it began, according to some agreed-upon plan. That sounds really broad and like it could mean a million different things, because it is and it could. You could condition someone to be totally submissive to you and unable to not do what you tell them to do. You could also condition someone to be totally unable to orgasm except under certain conditions. You could condition them to be a perfect housemaid and derive sexual pleasure from their daily chores. You could condition them to do, be, and think almost anything you can imagine - the sky's the limit (but remember consent!).

The process is gradual and always takes some time, and it always needs to be highly tailored to your specific goals and your specific partner, but generally conditioning is split into two branches - "operant conditioning" and "classical conditioning."

Classical conditioning involves associating involuntary responses (the 'classic' example being salivating from Pavlov's dogs) with an external stimulus. Essentially, you link that neutral stimulus (say, a finger snap) with an involuntary response (say, an orgasm), through a conditioned response. This is done through repeated association. Pavlov made his dogs salivate by giving them food and then ringing the bell, until it got to the point that he could simply ring a bell and they would start salivating. In the other example, after enough times masturbating and needing to ask permission, only being allowed to cum when you snapped your fingers... well, you get the idea. This might not result in a spontaneous orgasm from snapping your fingers, and the effect may (will) extinguish with time if not regularly reinforced, but depending upon the subject and the exact means of conditioning the results may vary dramatically.

Operant conditioning, on the other hand, involves associating voluntary behaviors (the classical example being pressing a lever) with external stimuli. In this case you might give a partner a trigger that causes them to feel a pleasurable sensation all over their body, or to feel a deep sense of happiness or satisfaction when you utter the words "Good Boy/Girl/Toy" - and then, utter those words whenever they obey you. That will cause them to feel good whenever they obey you, which will lead them to obey you more and more, which will lead them to feel better, and then even if the trigger does extinguish at some point obeying you might have at that point become second nature to them. That is a fairly simple and straightforward example, and it goes much farther than that - being as there are four distinct types of operant conditioning and various ways in which it can be done - but that gives you an idea of what can be accomplished with it.

your mind is always so full, it never seems to get any rest.

but when they lower their voice to that certain tone, that soothing sound which could send shivers down your spine- that’s when the noise in your pretty little head starts to slow, grow more quiet.

allowing their voice to take up that space for a while, slowly but surely chasing all these pesky thoughts away. because, let’s be honest; who needs thoughts if you could just obey? who needs to have control when you could just give it up to them, just for the moment?

let their words in while they tell you what to think, what to feel, what to be. and you wouldn’t mind being anything for the, you’re so weak and docile for their words. but that’s not a bad thing if they make you feel this good, isn’t that right?

you wouldn’t mind dropping deeper and deeper, giving up more and more control while you soak up every word like a sponge.

you’re just listening.

following.

obeying.

after all, they make you feel so good. so blank, empty, mindless.

you don’t want to think.
