>disinterested myself in the subject
Yeah that's often what happens when you turn an interest or hobby into a job unfortunately.

>saying that shamans use a religiously charged form of hypnosis is just colonial vision
That's the type of autistic shit I would say as a shitpost. I love it.

>My favourite would be to get inspiration from psytrance music and get someone in a fever with it, but that isn't what most people think about as "hypnosis".
Totally understandable. I mean it's called "trance" music for a reason. And I've been to enough raves to know that being hypnotized by music is possible.

>If I got to dress up as a campy stage magician, put the subject in a bunny costume and get my fun that way.
Yeah that sounds like a fun time. Erotic hypnosis is more like roleplay anyway and it obviously doesn't work if the subject isn't playing along. And yeah stage hypnosis is a fun and kinky setting.
