Short Stories - Meeting a Hypnotist on Vacation

Male's Point of View - Hypnosis

It actually worked!
I didn't believe the neighbor in the room next to us when he said he was a professional hypnotist on vacation. I had commented on how spectacularly hot his date was and after a few night caps at the resort bar, he admitted he had ‘helped’ her along a little so he could bring her as his date.
I laughed it off saying he was lucky to have the time to hypnotize such a gorgeous woman. He became real serious and told me almost anyone can be hypnotized under the right circumstances. He then told me about a great technique, which I half listened to. But I remember him commenting about how my own girlfriend looked very receptive to hypnotic suggestions.

A few days later, as I watched him go for an obviously naked swim in the ocean, I had to say I was curious.
My girl came back with our special drinks and I told her to hold the coconut up so I could take the perfect picture.

“Come on already!” She said. “This isn’t heavy at all!”

“Just bare with me Babe...” I said. “I’m trying this new effect on the camera, but you need to stay perfectly still ok? Can you do that for me?”

“It better be a good picture!” She said rolling her eyes.

“Oh it will I promise!” I said calmly. “You trust me don’t you?” She nodded. “Just hold your pose and concentrate on your arm. I bet that if you focus enough, you’ll realize that it’s not so heavy...”

I spoke in the tone the hypnotist had told me about. Making a show of setting up the shot on my camera.

“I bet that the more your mind focuses on it, the less heavy it feels... In fact, you shouldn’t even be feeling the weight of it... We’ve been drinking a lot of those and I bet you feel as tipsy as me. I know that when I’m feeling this tipsy, I barely feel anything. I can stand at the bar for hours without feeling tired... I just don’t feel the trivial things around me. Like the coconut, I bet you can’t really tell how heavy it is right?”

“I... I can’t...” she said in a low voice. 

“Exactly. Just trust me and everything will be fine... The effect I’m setting up for this picture will be mind blowing, you’ll be so happy to show it off when we get back home. So proud to have been able to endure your pose for the result it will give. You just can’t wait. You can’t make yourself do anything that would prevent this wonderful picture from being taken. You want to be perfectly still for me.”

I droned on for a few minutes more and to my surprise, I started to see her eyes lose focus.

“Just concentrate on keeping your drink steady... It so easy, you barely need to think about it... In fact, it’s as if your drink is getting lighter and lighter...”

I almost gave a shout of joy when I saw her hand start to lift it ever so slowly.

“You see... So light and easy you don’t need to think about it. You just need to relax... just let your mind wander to that wonderful massage I gave you on the beach yesterday, just let me do the rest of the shoot while you sink deeper in that marvelous happy place. That relaxing place where you feel safe and warm. Where you can almost feel my hands all over your body...”

Her eyes definitely lost focus as I continued. 

“You trust me completely, you know you are safe with me. My voice makes you feel warm and secure. You can trust in my voice. It can never betray or harm you. You can always listen to me voice and know it speaks the truth.”

And now to see if it worked.

“Can you hear me Babe? Do you understand what I’m saying?”

At first, she just stared off into space. But then, in a soft far away voice, she answered.

​“Yessss.... I understand....”

It worked!!!!! I was so excited! Well, time to have some fun!
