Beyond Games of Trance: Hypnotism, Hypnosis, Fetishism and BDSM

Alex Tsander · 2014

Lifestyle BDSM

Beyond Games of Trance explores the intersection between hypnotism, hypnosis, fetishism, and BDSM through the perspective of social psychology and behavioural science. Rather than treating hypnotic phenomena as mysterious altered states, Alex Tsander argues that many experiences commonly attributed to hypnosis can be better understood as products of suggestion, expectation, role adoption, social interaction, and cognitive processes. Building upon this theoretical foundation, the author examines how these mechanisms naturally emerge within consensual BDSM dynamics, particularly those involving authority, ritual, psychological conditioning, and power exchange. The work combines historical analysis, critical examination of established hypnotic theory, practical discussion of hypnotic methods, and extensive ethical reflection, presenting a comprehensive framework for understanding trance-oriented BDSM beyond traditional clinical or stage hypnosis.

Jay Wiseman's Erotic Bondage Handbook

Jay J. Wiseman · 2000

Rope Bondage

Jay Wiseman's Erotic Bondage Handbook is one of the most influential practical manuals ever written on consensual rope bondage. Rather than presenting bondage as spectacle or fantasy, it approaches the subject as a technical discipline requiring knowledge, preparation, communication, and an unwavering commitment to safety. Drawing upon decades of practical experience, Wiseman combines clear instruction with extensive discussion of risk management, consent, and responsible practice, making the work equally valuable as an educational text and a long-term reference. More than two decades after its publication, it continues to be regarded as one of the foundational works for anyone seeking a systematic understanding of modern Western rope bondage.
