Attention Internet exporer users.

Attention Microsoft Internet Explorer Users: It has been brought to my attention that my blog isn't currently displaying properly using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

It seems the problem is related to the fact that my page is coded in CSS3, something which is apparently to advanced for IE to handle (*scoff*), but all other browsers handle it fine. I'm attempting to find alternative methods of coding, until then I would recommend contacting Mr B Gates, and requesting he update his software inline with the rest of the world !

I would suggest that anyone using IE who is having problems try using a different browser. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera are all great browsers, and display my blog perfectly.


Appologies for any inconvenience.

Tinkering...

Just a mini update.

I've had a bit of a tinker with the blog layout again. The last version never really felt finished (nothing ever does with me). I've given it a more shiny and up to date looking theme. I've also funked up the labels as best I could. The new look works perfectly on Firefox and Chrome, but does a have a couple of little bugs with IE which I have yet to fix. Meh.

Whilst on a geeky theme, I just want to post links to a couple more firefox personas I've made that readers may like: Mistress Winters' Personas gallery

*OBEY* Subs who are currently using the Mistress Winters theme may now change to any persona in my gallery only. Switching to a theme other than one of mine will feel wrong.

If you stay with the Mistress Winters theme, the effects will remain as before. GOOD GIRL.

Changing to the Lesbian Pride theme will amplify your feelings of attraction and love towards women. You will also occasionally find yourself compelled during moments of boredom to use your browser to look up lesbian material on the web. This will give you pleasure. Looking at these images, you will find yourself day dreaming and fantasizing about other women as well as your Mistress.

Changing to the Smoking Lips Black theme will increase your attraction to women who smoke seductively. You will find their smokey allure even more captivating. You will also occasionally find yourself compelled, during moments of boredom, to use your browser to look at smoking fetish material on the web. This will give you pleasure. Looking at these images will increase your desire to smoke seductively for your Mistress.

As usual, work computers are exempt from this suggestion.
*/OBEY*


I also wanted to say a quick thank you for the positive responses to may last entry, What makes someone a hypno-fetishist?. I'm glad you found my musings interesting. I will endeavour to post more entries of that style in future.

As requested. Combined with the binaural file I suggested, this should work. Let me know how you get on.

A belated happy new year to you all.

Happy new year all. I hope 2010 is treating you well.

Just in case you missed it, Part 2 of Room Service is now up (see below). Sorry for the delay.

So, what's been happening with me lately.

Well, I spent the Christmas and new year period at my holiday retreat. I like to get away from it all at that time of year. It's not that I'm a Grinch (well, maybe a little bit), I just find the whole affair too much... when the shops start selling the Christmas stuff in September, is it any wonder I am sick of it by November?... Anyway. My retreat has only a temperamental dial up connection, which I have more as a "just in case" than anything else. When I'm there I like to be away from modern methods of communication as much as possible... as it happens, with all the snow we had, my phone line went down and I was cut off. I was also somewhat snowed in as well, so I was a little more isolated than I'd intended. But no matter.

For those of you who don't know, January the first was also my birthday. Yes, you thought all those fireworks were for new years day... How silly. They are to celebrate my birth of course. I was able to get out through the snow to celebrate a bit. It was a good night, I shall perhaps blog about it later. For now, it is late, and a mistress needs her beauty sleep (Especially now she's a year older. Booo!)

Before I go, as a little gift to the subs reading this(*waves* yes I mean you ;~)), I have created an exclusive Mistress Winters Firefox Theme/Persona. To use it, you will need to be running the latest 3.6 version of Firefox (If you aren't, update now),

Follow this link to install the theme: Personas for Firefox | Mistress Winters Theme

*OBEY*
This is an instruction for all subs. You will install my theme to your browser of your personal computer. Work computers are exempt.

You will continue to use this theme until further notice. Upon installing this theme for the first time, you will briefly feel pleasure level 2.

Whilst browsing with this theme, you will feel an underlying sense of contentment as you are reminded that your mistress is always with you.

Switching to any other theme will feel wrong.
*/OBEY*,

Room Service - Part 2

Here is part 2 of my hotel hijinks with Lisa. It's a bit of a long one, so get yourself settled for the next few minutes. Are you comfortable? Then I'll begin ;~)

Lisa and I had arranged a date, booked a hotel room, and my first weekend of hypno-kinkiness was on. We'd arranged to meet in a public place in the city. I was worried I wouldn't recognise her in real life, but she looked just like she did in her pictures and on webcam and obviously so did I, so we spotted each other straight away.

I think she was quite nervous. So was I. We had a tentative kiss on the cheek and a hug, and decided to head straight for the hotel. We checked in, and instead of going straight up to the room, decided to go for a drink in the bar first. We both needed a drink to calm our nerves, and having a chat first instead of diving straight into to the sexy stuff seemed like a good idea. We had all weekend after all. She told me she was nervous, but still excited and up for it. I felt the same but tried too project a more outward appearance of confidence. We chatted for a while, but our relationship being what it was, we really didn't have very much in common other than our sexual interests, so our conversation quickly moved in that direction. She told me how gorgeous I was and I returned the compliment... we flirted. I put my hand on her knee and began sliding it up her leg... It didn't take long before we decided to head for our room.

As soon as we'd closed the door behind us, we headed straight for the bed. We layed down and began to kiss and let our hands wander. Clothes were quickly discarded and soon our hot sweaty bodies were doing whatever their urges demanded without thought or care. Soon we lay beside each other, naked, exhausted, but very satisfied. And we hadn't even gotten to any hypnosis yet. After about half an hour of catching our breath, whilst still lazily fumbling and groping each other, I decided it was time.


MW: Ok, I'm going to go and check out the bathroom and freshen up, I want you to put some clothes on, and get yourself sitting comfortably. Then when I come back I'm going to put you under.

Lisa said nothing but smiled nervously. I took my bag into the bathroom, and put on the outfit I'd picked out specially for the occasion. Not only did I look good in it, but I felt it created the right image. Powerful and commanding, so as to set the mood. I also made sure to touch up my eye makeup. I'm aware that my eyes are one of my best features, and a feature that comes in very handy for hypnosis, so making them demand attention with make up is something I like to do.

When I came out of the bathroom, Lisa was sitting on the sofa dressed and ready just as I had asked. Again, she said nothing, and just followed my lead. Already I was getting the sense that she was potentially a great subject.

I took her through a standard progressive relaxation induction, just as I had the first time I'd hypnotized my first subject at a party when I was 16, this time though, I felt more confident, I knew now that I could actually do it, and my carefully picked outfit gave me a feeling of strength. This time I didn't stumble over my words, I knew exactly what I had to do and I did it. Soon she was nice and loose and relaxed. Breathing deeply and slowly. Chest rising and falling with every breath. Focused totally on my words as I spoke softly and lead her deeper and deeper.

MW: As you sit there, so still... so calm... so relaxed... every muscle in your body loose... limp.... released of all stress...

...Your mind is focused on my words... washing over you and taking with them all your stresses, all your worries.... all your thoughts...

...Your mind is free... open... empty... ready to be filled by my voice... my words...

...All the while you are relaxing... sinking... deeper... and deeper...
... Now take another deep breath... in... and out... and just let your self go all the way down now... so deep...
MW: Now what I want you to do, is imagine there are 2 helium baloon, tied to each of your wrists. 2 big... pink... floating balloons... tied to your wirsts... and they are gently... pulling your arms into the air...

 ...gently... but firmly... pulling both of your arms into the air...

...slowly at first... but faster and faster...

...and the higher they go, the lighter your arms feel... and the lighter your arms feel... the easier it is for them to float higher... and higher.....

Her arms followed my suggestions, and began to lift... and soon they were floating above her head.

MW: Now, in a moment, I'm going to say "SNIP SNIP", and when I do, you'll feel the strings attatched to your wrists cut, and your arms will drop down to your side... and when they do, you will relax and drop 10 times deeper than you are now...
 ... SNIP SNIP
 Her arms dropped to her side, and she let out a soft sigh as her body relaxed and she went deeper.

MW: Good girl... just go even deeper... so relaxed... so deep...

... Totally at peace... Just drifting... calm... content... happy... deep...
Because it feels so good to go this deep, and to feel so relaxed, I'm going to give you a special word... that whenever I say it and snap my fingers, or touch you on the forehead, you will instantly just drop right back down even deeper than you are now...

...no matter what you are doing, what you are thinking... you will instantly drop straight down, even deeper, and even more calm than you are now... just like when I cut the strings on the balloon...

...the special word is 'SLEEP'... whenever I say the word "SLEEP" you will instantly drop straight back down into this relaxed, calm, sleepy state... and go even deeper than before... just like you did when I cut the strings on the balloon...
I then gave her a count from 10-1 to slowly bring her around.

MW: How do you feel?

Lisa: ... er... good... really relaxed... felt like I could have nodded off if I'd wanted.

MW: Good. Do you feel hypnotized?

Lisa: Erm... I'm not sure. I definitely feel a bit... trippy?

MW: Do you remember any of the induction?

Lisa: Yeah... I remember my arms and legs feeling heavy... my eyes feeling tired... erm... then the balloons....

MW: Ok. How did it feel when I cut your strings?

Lisa: Erm... just really relaxing... like... getting into bed after a long day... just kind of... flopping.

MW: And that feels good doesn't it?

Lisa: Yeah

MW: Do you remember me giving you a special trigger?

Lisa: Erm... I don't know... I think so.

MW: SLEEP *snap*

The trigger worked well. It wasn't totally instant and dramatic like I'd seen on videos, but it worked. I woke her up and continued to test it a couple more times whilst talking to her to see how she was doing. To be honest I could have done that a dozen more times, it was such a thrill. Each time I put her to sleep she dropped deeper, just as I had told her too.

While she was sat, head slumped against the back of the sofa, I came and sat on her lap, straddling her legs and staring straight into her face. Then I woke her up. This startled her a little, but I could tell just by the look on her face that it excited her as well. Her face flushed and I could practically see her heart beating though her chest.

MW: Hello...

Lisa: Hello...

MW: How does it feel when I do that?

Lisa:... Strange... but good...

MW: And how does it feel waking up and finding me on your lap?

Lisa: Strange... but good (laughs)... er... I guess its like when your attention drifts elsewhere for a bit... like you're just in a bit of a daze and then you realise someone is trying to talk to you and weren't listening...

MW: Yes

Lisa: Like a moment ago you were sitting on the edge of the bed, then I suppose you said your magic word and I drifted off and then next thing I know you're sitting on me (laughs)

MW: Does it feel like any time has passed? or is it just like *ping* one minute I'm there, next i'm here.

Lisa: No... erm... I can tell that time has passed... I'm just not totally sure how long... was it long?

Instead of answering her, I just tapped her on the forehead and told her to sleep. I then carefully unbutton the top 2 or 3 buttons on her shirt. Then, whist deepening her, and suggesting that she need pay no attention to what I was doing, I got off her lap, eased apart her legs, and gently removed her knickers... They were deliciously moist. Then, replacing her legs as they were, I got back on her lap, once again staring right at her, placed her knickers cheekily between my teeth, and woke her up.

Lisa: (laughs) Oh my god!

I didn't need to ask. She knew what I'd done. Using my thumb and my teeth, I playfully catapulted her knickers across the room, then leaned and and let my lips go to work on her neck. After a few minutes of kissing, nibbling, groping and general heavy petting, and after I'd got her to a fair state of undress, shirt and bra off, skirt hitched well up, I zapped her again.

With her head slumped back, lips parted, I continued. I nibbled her ear lobes, gave my tongue a little flick inside her ear. She let out a very soft moan, but didn't move a muscle... I reached down and slid 2 fingers across her warm, wet pussy and then moved them up into her mouth, depositing her juices onto her tongue and lips. Then I got down onto my knees and had a taste of my own. Once again she let out soft sighs of pleasure, but her body still remained limp and relaxed. I continued to go down on her until she was panting and beginning to moan, and I was almost ready to explode. Then, with 2 fingers inside of her, and my tongue on her clit, I woke her up. She screamed out in pleasure, arched her back and pressed her thighs against me. Within seconds she was cumming. Loudly and uncontrollably. As she was still spasming and gasping for air like a fish out of water on the couch, I was laying back on the floor and finishing myself off, which didn't take long at all, and soon we were once again laying flushed, sweating and catching our breath. She later told me that the thrill of waking up and realising what was happening was so powerful, that it gave her one of the most intense orgasms of her life. Like waking up in the middle of a sexy dream and finding out it was real... a pleasure I didn't fully appreciate until a few years later.

Over the next few hours I tried out lots of things with her. Some successful, and some not so successful. As I mentioned previously, Lisa was quite into bondage and restraint. Some light bondage suggestions worked quite well on her. I successfully managed to have her arms tied to the bed with invisible ropes. However I was unable to get a full freeze trigger to work on her. She also responded well to arousal suggestions and I was able to talk her to high states of pleasure... I couldn't however get her to orgasm, not simply by suggestion anyway... though she said she was very close. I tried a few visual hallucinations, such as nakedness, trick mirrors, bigger breasts, but with little success. One thing we were both particularly keen to do was hypnotic blindness, but as with the others, we couldn't get it to work. But luckily Lisa had actually bought a blindfold with her, so instead I gave her the suggestion that no matter how hard she tried she couldn't remove the blindfold. That worked like a charm, and she very much enjoyed it.

By the evening, thought it might be fun to go back down to the bar and try some naughtiness in a more public setting. But Lisa said she was exhausted from a long mornings travelling and a very hot afternoon and evening of kinky fun. I could see her point, and I certainly didn't want to push her too hard, so we decided to get an early night. We both slept soundly, that was for sure.

.... And there girls and boys, is where I will leave part 2 of the story. I had wanted to sew it all up in just 2 parts, but there is just too much to fit in, so I'm afraid it's going to have to be a trilogy.

I will some other updates soon, and part 3 will follow in due course.

TTFN,

Room Service - Part 1

So. I promised to share some of my hotel room experiences.

The first that springs to mind was with a woman called Lisa. She also happens to be the first woman I ever hypnotized for kinky purposes. We had met online on one of the early social networking sites, nothing fetish related. I was 18 and she was in her early 30s, I seemed to have a habit of attracting older women back then... still do actually, I'm not really sure why as it's never been something I have aspired to particularly. Anyway, we'd followed the usual path of getting to know one another: IMs, emails, followed by texts, saucy picture messages, and then a couple of attempts at phone sex... I was rubbish at phone sex back then, still am actually unless hypnosis is involved.

Our relationship wasn't really what you would have called true love. I was a frustrated teenager, she was recently divorced and looking for the excitement she'd been missing in her marriage, and so our conversations almost always followed a sexual theme and ended up in a frenzy of 1 handed typing. We'd exchanged numerous sexy pictures, we'd talked about our sexual preferences, we'd discussed fetishes... I'd talked about relatively common stuff... boots, outfits, tattoos, piercings... she'd often talked about her love of bondage, she had what seemed to my inexperienced young mind, like a large collection of restraints and toys... She was pretty much of the submissive persuasion. Eventually I took the plunge and decided to take the step that I think most of you out there will have gone through at least once, and bought up the subject of hypnotic kinkiness. To my surprise and delight, the idea seemed to really turn her on. So much so that she requested to move the conversation from IM to the phone.

Lisa: Hi Babe

Mistess Winters: Hi
Lisa: Mmm... babe you've got me all horny again.

MW: Hehe, I'm glad that it had that effect, I wasn't sure what you'd say.

Lisa: Oh don't worry babe, it takes a lot to shock me... it sounds really sexy.

MW: I think so. It's something I've fantasized about since I was about 13.

Lisa: What do you do?... How does it work?

MW: Well basically I put you into a really relaxed state where your consious mind mind sort of switches off and I can talk directly to your subconscious... When you're in that state you're really suggestible and basically do what I tell you to do.

Lisa: You won't make me bark like a dog or run around like a chicken or anything will you? (laughs)

MW: No, I don't think so... though that sort of thing is fun sometimes.

Lisa: Please don't. I'd be so embarrassed!

MW: How about a cat?

Lisa: That would be better I suppose.

MW: That sort of thing isn't necessarily what interests me anyway... that's more of a stage hypnosis type of thing that you might see in a bar on holiday.
Lisa: What would you get me to do then?

MW: Well... er.... First I'd put you under and get you nice and deep. I'd probably have a play with your body while you were in trance.

Lisa: Mmm babe, that sounds good.

MW: I know you're into a bit of bondage, so I think I could do some stuff that you'd really like... I could lie you do on the bed, and put your arms above your head, and I'd tell you that you couldn't move.
Lisa: How do you do that?

MW: Well While you're under, I tell you that your arms and legs are stuck in place. Like they are tied there by invisible ropes. And then I wake you up and you will be able to talk and stuff, but you wont be able to move. And the harder you try to move, the more the ropes will hold you down.

Lisa: Oh wow. I like the sound of that.
MW: Then I can play around with your body some more and you wont be able to move.
Lisa: Mmm babe, that would be good.

MW: I can give you triggers as well, to do things to you while you are awake?

Lisa: What's a trigger?
MW: It's like a key word. That when I say it, you'll instantly respond to it in the way that you were told to when you were in a trance.... Like, the first one I'd probably give you would be 'sleep', so that all I need to do is click my fingers and say sleep, and your head will instantly flop down and you'll go back into trance. 
Lisa: Oh wow.

MW: It's great to do that to someone in the middle of a conversation... they'll just be in the middle of a sentence and then I you just snap your fingers, say sleep, and *ping* out they go.I love seeing their head just flop down.
Lisa: I suppose that would come in handy when someone was boring you (laughs)
MW: (laughs) Yeah. It's such a turn on though to have that power over someone. Knowing that with 1 magic word you can put someone to sleep, or make them flash their boobs, or feel horny.
Lisa: It doesn't take much to make me horny anyway babe (laughs)

MW: You can do physical triggers as well... Like, when I touch you in a certain place instead of saying a certain word... I could make it so when I touch the palm of your hand, it feels like I'm touching your clit.

Lisa: Wow! Can you really do that?

MW: Yeah. It'd be great in public. We could be sitting in a pub or something, and I can stroke the palm of your hand with my finger and you'd feel me rubbing your clit. And nobody will know.

Lisa: Oh wow! That sounds amazing. I just hope I don't get to excited (laughs) They might notice if I start panting and screaming!

MW: (laughs) Yeah. It'd be good to watch though.
The conversation continued down that path for another couple of minutes, all the while Lisa breathing got shallower and her responses more muffled and brief. She was clearly sold on the idea of me hypnotizing her. I attempted to do an induction there and then on the phone, but she was too horny to concentrate and my inexperience and excitement made me stumble over my words a bit... she said she defintely felt something, but she didn't really go under. Instead I just talked her to orgasm and tried to anchor her pleasure to my words as best I could.

A few days later, she told me that she'd not been able to stop thinking about me hypnotizing her ever since I'd mentioned it. She really wanted to try it, and we really wanted to meet each other in person. At the time I was still living with my parents, so her coming to my place was a no no. She also live quite a distance away, and I couldn't drive, so it was quite difficult for me to get to her as well... We decided that we should book a hotel room close to me, she'd drive down and we'd have a dirty weekend together. Straight away I got online and started looking for somewhere. We arranged a weekend I booked a hotel in the nearest city.

... Stay Tuned for part 2 soon :~)

Friday, 23 January 2009

I was having a conversation with someone on Yahoo the other day, and a subject came up that reminded me of something I once did with Katie, and I thought to myself "that would make a great blog entry"... so here it is. I hope you enjoy.

Katie and I were talking one day about how much time we spend indulging in our hypno-play... It was a lot. Whenever neither of us wasn't working (and often when we were supposed to be working!) we'd be having fun with hypnosis. It was pretty much all we did with our spare time. We wondered if we added up all the time Katie spent in trance or under the influence of some kind of suggestion over the course of the week, just how much time would it be? ... We never actually did work it out... we got distracted by talking about other things, 1 of them being what the world record was for the longest hypnotic trance... I seem to recall reading about how Peter Powers (who I remember from his 'naughty naughty hypno show' on tv, once had someone in a shop window for 8 days in a trance... and we wondered, if he could do that with someone who was a total stranger, what might be possible if the hypnotist and the subject knew each other intimately and had built up a deep rapport... surely the record could be much much longer? We thought so. We wondered if we tried, could we break that record?... we were curious, but we both agreed that though it might be possible, one of us would probably get bored before we got to 8 days! But we decided to give it a go and see how long we could manage.

Katie got nice and comfy on the sofa, and I started with a proper induction, no triggers, just a good old fashioned eye fixation and progressive relaxation induction. Katie was obviously well trained at going into trance by now, so it didn't take long at all to have her under and in a deep trance.

Now, for those of you who don't know... getting someone to stay in a trance for a long period of time, isn't as simple as you might think... you can't just leave them there and expect them to stay the way they are. A person wont just stay in a trance indefinitely. If left alone, sooner or later they will either start to come around and snap out of it... or else just get to relaxed and fall asleep, a natural sleep that is... and once they fall asleep, they wont respond to you any more. So to keep someone in a trance, they need regular and constant supervision and attention. Just a few words every now and then to keep them in that hypnotic state.

So I kept Katie there on the sofa. Obviously I had to make sure she got regular food, drink and toilet breaks, which for the first few times I took great care in continuing to talk to her and keep her in trance through out, but after the first few times I was confident she would be ok. My biggest concern was what would happen when I needed to sleep... I thought the best bet was to through out the day, make my gaps between talking to her, in the hopes that she'd get more and more used to staying in trance without my input, and thus I might be able to get a few hours sleep! I wasn't really sure if she would really stay in trance properly the whole time... but I thought I knew her well enough to be able to tell most of the time, and the rest I would just have to trust and wait until it was over to ask her about it properly.

We kept it up for quite a while actually, nearly 3 days whole days. But I will admit, by that point I was getting pretty bored... When I was single it wouldn't have been that unusual to have gone 3 day or more without talking to someone, I'd always managed to find ways to fill the time. But since being with Katie, we'd rarely been apart, so I'd gotten very used to having her around.. but although she was still physically there, mentally she was not really available for conversation! There was no chance I could make it to 8 days, I was going crazy with boredom, and resisiting the urge to mess with her while she was under was getting to much!

On the evening of the 3rd day, I was watching TV and hadn't given Katie any attention for a couple of hours. Her favourite program came on... and after about 10 mintutes I realised that her eyes were open and she was watching the TV... I asked her if she was awake and she blinked a bit, rubbed her eyes, and said "yes I think so, and laughed"

Although she had now come out of the trance, she was finding it quite difficult to actually stay out of it... She said she still felt kind of groggy, much like she had the first time I'd hypnotized her. And as she continued to watch the TV she'd keep slipping back under again an her head would slowly slump back onto her chest. It would particularly happen during the ad breaks... which I would guess was down to the fact that you never really pay attention to the ads do you? you just kind of watch them passively and wait for the show to come back on, so in itself that's almost trance enducing. It's a well documented phenomenon that subjects still remain in a more suggestible state shortly after being brought out of trance... and since she'd been in trance for 3 days, I suppose that effect was amplified a bit. I suppose I'd liken it a bit to when you have spent to much time in bed and over slept... you find it hard to properly wake up and unless you force yourself to get up and do something, you will keep nodding off again every few minutes without even realising... That's what it seemed to be like for Katie... if I kept talking to her and kept her stimulated (her mind that is!) then she'd stay awake... but if I stopped for a few mins, or she went back to watching the tv, she'd keep slipping back under... her head would just flop down... then a couple of minutes later she'd snap out of it again... it was very cute to watch. Then I found out that if I spoke to her in my 'hypno voice' she'd slip under... i didn't need to say anything special... no trigger words or relaxation or anything like that... all I had to do was slooow my voice dooown a bit, and talk in that seductive way that I do when I'm performing an induction, and the simplest phrase such as "would you like a cup of teeeaaa Katie, I fancy a cup of teeeaa..." was enough make her eyes roll back into her head and slip into trance again...

This went on for about 3 hours for the rest of the evening, and I enjoyed watching her nodding off, and teasing her with my seductive voice... but gradually it wore off. We went to bed and by the time she woke up the next day, she was back to normal. She told me that she had no memory of the last 3 days, including most of the previous evening when she was supposedly awake. She was sure that she was in trance the whole time, and that was good enough for me.

So, we didn't exactly break the world record, but at least we'd satisfied our curiousity!
