HypnoGirls.com is not your usual adult website. In lieu of actual sex, the videos and pictures it features are of erotic hypnotherapy sessions between a young woman and the website’s creator, the self-proclaimed “Count Spankula.” The Count, whose face we never see, is shown using his hypnotic “powers” to send the young women into an erotic trance, whereby he arouses them, encouraging them to envision elaborate sexual situations, eventually causing them to orgasm at the snap of his fingers. He then awakens them and can still make them have an orgasm whenever he so chooses simply by snapping his fingers or saying certain words.

“Ever since I was a young pervert,” explains the Count on his webpage, “I dreamt of being able to hypnotize girls and control them through erotic hypnosis. Growing up, I saw the way these hot girls all acted and I thought about how much I would like to change them into horny sluts at my disposal. While in college, I learned how to hypnotize girls, and in grad school I let my perversions run wild.”

And they say chivalry is dead.

Said perversions begin by having the women in each video lay down on a couch and concentrate on a particular spot on the ceiling, at which point the Count tells them to focus hard on that spot, letting the rest of their vision blur as their eyes slowly close. He asks them to envision themselves on a cloud floating in the air. By snapping his fingers, he can make them relax or fall asleep. Gradually, as the women fall deeper and deeper into relaxation, he asks them to envision “the hottest guy ever” massaging their back and shoulders. Then he tells them to envision another hot guy doing this to her at the same time. Then another, then another, and then another, until a total of eight of the world’s hottest guys are massaging her all at once. Each time he does this, he’ll snap his fingers to make the women remember that sound along with the word “massage.”

Afterwards, he uses the same process for the phrase “10,000 tongues,” where the Count has them envision a group of hot men kissing and licking all sensitive areas of her body. Still more terms are added, such as, “horny,” “fucking” and finally “ka-pow!” At the utterance of “ka-pow!” the women are told to imagine the greatest orgasm they’ve ever had in their life, and multiply it times 10. Moaning, screaming, writhing and squirming, the women erupt in a mind-blowing orgasm.

Once the women wake up from their hypnotic states, Count Spankula can re-relax them uttering those same phrases, and can even make them orgasm at random by snapping his fingers and saying “ka-pow!” He can also make them fall back asleep at random by snapping his fingers and saying “sleep.”

Over the course of several hours, the Count has the women imagine more elaborate scenarios. While in their trances, he tells them that every time he points his finger upward their breasts will grow one full cup size. When he has them awaken, he keeps pointing his fingers upwards, and sure enough, to their amazement, they see their breasts keep growing and growing. He toys with them more by making them so large the women feel like they are about fall over.

He tells another to woman envision that she’s flirting with Johnny Depp, and then causes her to have an orgasm as she tries to convince him to have sex with her. After he has her go back to sleep and reawake, she’s convinced Johnny Depp was just there and recounts to the hypnotist that she had an orgasm in front of him. “I couldn’t help it,” she says.

In one particularly humorous scenario, the Count tells the women he can make them cum by shooting them with a toy ray gun, which he says is a “neural disruptor” on loan from NASA. The viewer observes as the women are repeatedly “shot” and fall all over themselves trying to keep up with the relentless series of contractions.

The results Count Spankula can achieve are truly amazing. Whether you buy it or not is another story. It is uncertain if some of the women are just faking instead of having real orgasms. Considering that the website claims itself to be the largest real erotic hypnosis site on the Internet, yet offers no credentials of Count Spankula’s “ability,” there’s no way to say for sure. Other such hypnotists have performed similar erotic hypnosis acts before audiences, some using the exact same methods.

Can hypnotherapy actually make a woman orgasm? There are those who certainly believe so. Hypnotherapist Roger W. Hunter (Dyp. C. Hyp.) has studied the healing techniques of hypnosis for over 20 years. Hunter claims hypnotherapy can cure anorgasmia. Stating that the brain is the most important of the human body’s sexual organs, Hunter uses a deep meditation exercise to relax the brain into a state “between sleep and dreams.” “Orgasms are triggered by nerve impulses from the subconscious mind through the involuntary nervous system,” said Hunter. Self-hypnotic suggestion, he goes on, “removes any block you may have and allows your mind to automatically let go which lets you experience the absolute pleasure, joy and sexual gratification of a full orgasm.”

While he does not necessarily say a hypnotist can cause some to orgasm, hypnopsychotherapist Dr. Bryan Knight agrees that effective use of hypnosis can, at the very least, treat sexual dysfunction and sexual fear. Dr. Knight states that frequently, sexual psychological issues are treated through hypnosis, but since the processes deal with the brain, the sexual activity generated is imagined. “What you learn through hypnotherapy is practiced privately elsewhere,” Dr. Knight says. “Hypnotherapy may be used to heighten your sensual involvement and to help you to be fully present while engaging in sex.” Whether this can cause real orgasm may then be a matter of metaphysics, or of what one might believe to be real.

The utilization of hypnosis for medicinal purposes is nothing new, according to Clinical Psychologist Dr. Thomas D. Yarnell, who claims that hypnotic suggestion has been used for thousands of years. According to him, while hypnotic states are only useful for the relaxation they produce in the subject, “positive and healing suggestions are able to sink deeply into your mind much more quickly than when you are in a normal, awake state…because while in the hypnotic state, you cannot be made to do anything against your moral values.” Certainly having an orgasm would not by any rational degree be considered immoral, so given the right circumstances, people could certainly be suggested into having one. The subconscious mind would suddenly say, “Good idea!” and allow itself to manifest itself that way. Hypnosis is not about making someone do something; it is convincing them to do something they already wish to do. “The two keys to the successful use of hypnosis for self improvement and personal growth are correct motivation and believable suggestions. The motivation to change must come from within you. If you are trying to change because someone else wants you to ‘lose weight’ or ‘stop smoking,’ the chances are greatly reduced that the hypnosis will work.”

This is where Dr. Yarnell’s research would clash with Count Spankula’s. On several of the HypnoGirls.com videos, the women are told by him that their clitorises have suddenly gone missing. They can’t have an orgasm until they find it. They appear convinced. The Count then pulls out a quarter and says he’s found their clitoris, and begins playing with it, which pleasures them. Positive? Yes. Still, random loss of sexual body parts might not qualify as a “believable suggestion.”

Perhaps hypnotism can work to stimulate orgasm in women because of an inherent trust factor necessary to produce such a response. In June 2005, BBC reported on a study conducted at the University of Groningen in Copenhagen which suggested that women experience orgasm through “extreme deactivation of large portions of the brain and especially the emotional parts involved with fear.” The study further suggested that this information was important for a man to know because, if they were able to make a woman feel safer, or more specifically give them “the feeling of being protected,” then their sexual responses would be more frequent and more intense. This speaks to the sexual fear and inhibition Dr. Knight speaks of. Since hypnotism taps into the autonomic nervous system, “a person can use it to improve or alter functions that normally happen without conscious control.” Like, for example, having an orgasm.

It would seem hypnosis involves a strong trusting bond between the hypnotizer and the party being hypnotized. Even as we see in the case of Count Spankula, the sessions begin with the women being asked to envision themselves at peace, and are asked to “feel” his voice inside them as they do. Having established that kind of connection and trust, it is not unreasonable to believe that such a response can be produced, especially when one considers the relaxed brain wave activity and greatly increased suggestibility to positive stimuli, as Dr. Yarnell attests to.

Count Spankula’s masturbatory escapades notwithstanding, the fact seems to be that subconscious thought, easily receptive to positive information and suggestion, can, when properly engaged, stimulate the human brain in a variety of ways. Hypnosis is already used to help treat nausea and insomnia, as well as to stimulate weight loss and cure phobias. It also very notably is used in treating sexual dysfunction. And if such intense suggestion is involved, could a person not be “suggested” into something as positive as a mind-blowing orgy?
