Getting Started in Erotic Hypnosis
2026-01-15 , Coastal Main (hybrid)

Designed for people who are just getting started and have little, or no, background in hypnosis yet. We will cover the basics of what hypnosis is and is not, negotiation and consent, and how to ask respectfully for play from both sides of the watch. Then we'll launch into depth on the 101-level skills you need to get started:
- How is an erotic hypnosis scene structured?
- Simple inductions without scripts, including tips on selecting an effective induction for the individual(s) you are playing with
- Suggestion work: starting with simple things to build confidence and then where to go next as your skills develop
- Rapport and why it is an important skill to learn early
- Some thoughts on how to respectfully approach others for play
- Other topics that the class wants to hear about

The unofficial dean of erotic hypnosis education, Mark Wiseman (Wiseguy) brings his brand of humor and fun into classes that teach anyone how to use erotic hypnosis in a way that is safe, ethical, responsible, and hot. In mundane life Wiseguy is a professional hypnotist, a teacher of professional hypnotists, and author of the books Mind Play: A Guide to Erotic Hypnosis and The Mind Play Study Guide, the first hypnosis books written expressly for the kink community.
