Maybe there's some buried behind all the clatter of noise since it's supposed to be subliminal, but the fact that you can't hear much and what you can hear is again, cheesy, full of echo effects and just generally adding to the annoyance, makes me wonder if my reaction is merely the placebo effect. Because I have had occasion to be awake through much of the production, I have to say I was surprised by the lack of audible speaking. In the 3rd "track" the "banging of the pipes" in no rhyme or reason of order is especially annoying - bong, bong.reverberate, reverberate, reverberate.bing, bing.reverberate, reverberate, reverberate.bong, bong. I usually listen as I'm going to bed, but if I'm not really, really tired to where I start to zone out and doze pretty quickly, I get too frustrated to make it through the whole thing. That's right, there's a rainstorm, and flute, and birds, and crickets, and tinkling chimes, and sometimes I thought I even heard the babbling brook all going on at the same time. In the first two "tracks" it appears that every form of cliche' relaxation tape has been used.all at once. Having said that, I have to add that the whole production seems a bit.cheesy for lack of a better term. I have been listening to it for about a week and have noticed that it's easier to say no to the compulsions that would have me eat dessert after every meal or eat mindlessly because I'm bored. I will start out by saying that it seems to be helping.maybe. I was a little hesitant to order this because I've gotten other subliminal/hypnosis CDs that were utter crap. Love’s reading of the paper and the fact that I have no methodological details of the therapy utilized.Really helping or just a psychosomatic response? I tried to track this paper down (particularly because my own research career began with my work on aversive conditioning) but it doesn’t appear in any academic databases and the journal’s website only has papers dating back to 2002 (even though the journal was founded in 1973). The treatment was said to be successful as following treatment as the man no longer had sexual feelings toward his mother-in-law. Ringrose used hypnosis and an aversive conditioning technique to pair thoughts of his mother in law with both an aversive smell (ammonia) and an aversive taste (castor oil). In this paper, a young adult male sought treatment for his overwhelming sexual attraction to his mother-in-law. Douglas Ringrose in the 'British Journal of Sexual Medicine'. Love makes heavy reference to is a 1989 paper by Dr. Love also makes reference to the fact that hypnosis has occasionally been used in the treatment of sexual problems and dysfunctions. Lady Izabelle, arguably the most infamous ‘hypnodomme’ (a BDSM dominatrix specializing in hypnotic sex play) and a practitioner of sexual hypnofetishism has written a number of online articles about the practice of hypnofetishism. Peter Masters, author of the book 'Look Into My Eyes: How to Use Hypnosis to Bring Out the Best In Your Sex Life' defines hypnofetishism as “the use of hypnosis or images of hypnosis, to cause or increase sexual arousal”. More recent online sources such as the 'Write World' website define hypnophilia as an ”abnormal affection towards sleep or of being hypnotized”. Anil Aggrawal (in his book 'Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices') defines hypnophilia as being sexually aroused by the thought of sleeping (which for me suggests the condition is more akin to somnophilia which I wrote about in a previous blog). In collating material for this article, I came across a number of references to hypnophilia although most references to it are more concerned with sleep rather than hypnosis.
