I tried it (see review I posted of Princess Fawn) and it WAS hot! And yes a little scary. A thrill or a rush I would call it. Can't wait to do it again! I actually think doing a session without that element wouldn't hook me psychologically the same way or in the same level of intensity.

btw last night SVU had an episode on erotic hypno, but it was nonconsensual and the genders were reversed so frown
