Erotic hypnosis is the sexual interest in hypnosis and similar forms of mental persuasion or mind control. Reducing inhibitions and increasing arousal are the most common goals of erotic hypnosis.
Erotic hypnosis may be used within Dominance and submission relationship as a form of erotic power exchange, where one person willingly surrenders their will to another in exchange for sexual pleasure and or an emotional bond. Hypnosis enhances the feelings of submission to the point where a sub can actually feel a dominant's control moving their body or influencing their thoughts. This creates an intense feeling of belonging and intimacy. Personality transformations is another common fantasy. People often fantasize about being freed from responsibilities or inhibitions and transformed into someone who can freely enjoy the sexual pleasures they imagine or read about. The transformed personality might be a slave, a bimbo, a slut, a stripper or a character from a book or movie.

History
Erotic hypnosis has a long history, stretching as far back as the ancient world. Western culture (and many others around the globe) is filled with early myths of seduction by some form of mind control: the Sirens of the Greeks and the witches of the Middle Ages both had a hypnotic aspect in their sexuality.
In medieval legend, an incubus (plural incubi; from Latin incubare, "to lie upon") is a demon in male form supposed to lie upon sleepers, especially on women in order to have sexual intercourse with them.original research?
In medieval legend, a succubus (plural succubi; from Latin succubare, "to lie under") is a female demon which comes to men, especially monks, in their dreams to seduce them and have sexual intercourse, drawing energy from the men to sustain themselves, often until the point of exhaustion or death. This legend was an explanation for the phenomena of wet dreams and sleep paralysis. From mythology and fantasy, Lilith and the Lilin (Jewish), Lilitu (Sumerian) and Rusalka (Slavic) were succubi.original research?
Fiction
In popular fiction, hypnosis and mind control often contained erotic undertones. Starting with the classic novel, Trilby, continuing through the Hammer Studio series of Dracula films, Saturday morning cartoons, and into many modern popular books and films, hypnosis is often portrayed as a method for turning someone into a loving, devoted and/or obedient slave. Although cartoons contained little (if any) sexual references, vampire movies often contained overt sexual themes. Many people who grew up watching these shows subconsciously recognized the sexual undertones of the control aspect and later developed an interest in exploring erotic hypnosis more directly.
