 "Of course." Her green eyes sparkled back at me. "Doesn't borderbangers it sound interesting to you?"
 We arrived 10 minutes ahead of the 7:00 scheduled start time. A borderbangers young woman met us at the door and led us to the practice room. She looked to be in her early thirties, with chestnut hair and the deepest brown eyes I've ever seen.
 Meg borderbangers and I followed image the others borderbangers' lead and helped ourselves to borderbangers a borderbangers few of the folding mats. They reminded me of my college wrestling room pads - thick, dense, vinyl-covered, and extremely comfortable for sitting borderbangers, standing, or lying down.
 Carol turned to borderbangers face the speaker. "You're image Ellen, right?"
 It borderbangers was closer to fifteen borderbangers minutes before everyone had taken care borderbangers of business and settled back into their chosen spots. There was a lot of nervousness on display, as well as anticipation. Ellen, I borderbangers noticed, was the quietest borderbangers of us; she simply sat and waited, arms folded borderbangers, with a closed look on borderbangers her face.
 "I borderbangers suppose I could start out by giving you borderbangers a long, technical lecture on how to help someone enter hypnosis. In doing these classes borderbangers, though, I've found that it all makes much more sense if you actually experience the hypnotic state first. I'd like for everyone to lie back and get comfortable, please borderbangers."
 "Notice that you can still hear the music playing in the background. It's a borderbangers special borderbangers rhythm borderbangers designed to help you borderbangers relax. If you like, let the music enter your mind borderbangers and borderbangers soothe you, relaxing you by borderbangers degrees as you float along on the waves of sound. You can borderbangers concentrate on that if you like, listening closely image to the music, and to my voice borderbangers. Listen borderbangers, relax, and enjoy borderbangers."
 Starting with the face, Carol called borderbangers out every major muscle borderbangers group and body part from head to toe borderbangers. For borderbangers each group she told us to concentrate, focus, relax this and that part, feel the part becoming heavy, loose, and borderbangers lazy. I kept drifting off to some other place, only to catch myself and refocus on Carol's instructions.
 Once she had gone through all borderbangers of the muscle groups borderbangers, Carol led us in borderbangers another borderbangers series of borderbangers slow, deep breaths. Each breath in filled my body with borderbangers peace, and each breath image out let me melt down farther borderbangers and farther in to the soft, safe, comfortable mat.
 A pattern of colors began to swirl before my eyes, and I felt myself floating borderbangers down into the middle of whatever it was. It turned out to be a hammock, stretched between borderbangers two trees, waiting to be borderbangers occupied. I was borderbangers in borderbangers a small woodland, with grass under my feet and enough borderbangers trees to provide borderbangers pleasant shade. There was a borderbangers small stream image nearby; the bubbling sound of the water running by made the borderbangers place all the more peaceful. I climbed into the hammock borderbangers and lay back borderbangers, swaying slowly in the warm breeze. I watched the tree limbs as I rocked back borderbangers and forth , the sounds of the water still in my ears, feeling borderbangers safe and borderbangers comfortable.
 Perfectly borderbangers contented, I closed my eyes and let borderbangers out a long, slow breath. From somewhere right behind me Carol spoke borderbangers some more. Firm, gentle borderbangers hands pressed down borderbangers on my shoulders and borderbangers the world melted borderbangers away.
 Next we borderbangers discussed how hypnotic inductions actually work borderbangers. Carol image went over the major modes of perception - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. "Visual people borderbangers," she explained, "have a strong ability to see things with their imaginations. They can invoke an image and borderbangers describe it in borderbangers great detail. Auditory people are very attuned to borderbangers sounds. Kinesthetics are very good at focusing on their own borderbangers bodies, sensing their own movement, position, and location borderbangers. During the borderbangers induction we used earlier, I included borderbangers elements of all three. Unless you are very unusual borderbangers, each borderbangers of borderbangers you should have found that one type of instruction seemed to work better for you than others. Maybe borderbangers you found the rhythmic borderbangers sound from the CD player particularly soothing; maybe staring at borderbangers the dot seemed to focus you borderbangers more; maybe it was easiest for you to focus on the various sensations around your body. Everyone is different, but knowing how a person perceives the world makes borderbangers it borderbangers much borderbangers easier to help them into hypnosis and to form workable suggestions." Then borderbangers Carol turned to me. "Patrick borderbangers, what elements borderbangers in the induction today worked best for you borderbangers?"
 She had caught me borderbangers off guard; I had to yank my eyes back from the graceful curve of her shoulder and think fast. "The borderbangers auditory," I borderbangers answered. "The visual imagery of the hammock and the wood were also pretty vivid, but it borderbangers was mostly the music and your voice that really put borderbangers me away."
 "Before we end the session for tonight," Carol continued, "I want to demonstrate for you one more principle of hypnosis borderbangers: it gets much borderbangers easier with practice borderbangers. Everyone close your eyes and think back to when you were hypnotized earlier. If you are visual, remember the images you saw and borderbangers how you felt as you looked at them; if you are auditory, try to recall the borderbangers sounds from the boom box borderbangers and let them take you back into deep relaxation borderbangers; if you are kinesthetic, remember the sensations of your body relaxing borderbangers, melting into the mats, growing heavy and loose. Relax your feet everyone, your feet borderbangers and now your calves ... let the relaxation spread borderbangers up your legs ... to your hips ... " Her voice dropping back to the low, sensual tones borderbangers of a while before borderbangers, Carol guided us all through another progressive relaxation borderbangers. I was gone before she borderbangers got all borderbangers the way through, the memory of that sound replaying image through my head.
 "Definitely a borderbangers wow," Meg borderbangers replied. We both had spit-eating borderbangers grins on our faces as we gathered up our hastily discarded clothes and carried them into the house.
 I decided that the best way to borderbangers kill time until I could reasonably borderbangers go home borderbangers would be to back up my local borderbangers data files to the network. Those of us who do design work get the nicest PC's in the place and have enough storage to keep our files locally so we don't hog the network reading and writing our CAD data. In exchange, the network administrator expects us to make backups of our drawing files in borderbangers a special directory on the network, where they can be written to borderbangers tape for disaster recovery purposes. Things are borderbangers never that borderbangers busy image on Friday afternoons, so I figured it borderbangers was as good a time as any borderbangers to be a good citizen.
 "So take off," she suggested. "Just about everyone else has. I only borderbangers came over to rib you about swiping borderbangers one of the good chairs."
 I told Meg about what I borderbangers'd done borderbangers over dinner, expecting her to share borderbangers a laugh with me over getting caught by Shirley. She surprised borderbangers me by saying that borderbangers she'd done the same thing.
 "I got home borderbangers at the normal time borderbangers," she image said - for borderbangers Meg, that borderbangers's borderbangers about 3:30 borderbangers because she starts work at 6:45. "I took a quick shower, and borderbangers when I came out I just had this idea that borderbangers it would be fun to see if image I could put myself under. I stretched out on borderbangers the bed and just let borderbangers go, and after a while I borderbangers felt the buzz and went borderbangers with it borderbangers. The phone woke me up - another long distance company trolling for naive customers borderbangers - and borderbangers I borderbangers saw it was almost 4:30 borderbangers. I must have been really gone, because borderbangers it only felt borderbangers like a couple of minutes borderbangers to me."
 "What's wrong image?" she asked.
 The alarm set, I resumed my position next to Meg. We each took borderbangers a series of deep, slow breaths to get ourselves borderbangers started. As I relaxed into borderbangers the bed, I could sense borderbangers Meg next to me doing the same. We found ourselves breathing in unison without really trying to. Soon I felt the borderbangers warm, inviting buzz of hypnosis coming borderbangers over me and borderbangers I let go into it, confidant that we would wake up borderbangers at the appointed time.
 Meg's car was in the garage borderbangers as usual borderbangers when I got borderbangers home, but the house seemed quiet borderbangers. I was still in a borderbangers pretty foul borderbangers mood borderbangers, so rather than go looking for Meg right borderbangers away borderbangers I slipped upstairs borderbangers to the bedroom . Changing out of my office clothes does wonders for my attitude on a bad image day.
 I fingered the edge borderbangers of borderbangers her robe, pulling it back ever so slightly borderbangers, peeking borderbangers at the line of smooth skin borderbangers leading between borderbangers her breasts, to the navel, and down to her thatch borderbangers. For about three seconds I borderbangers thought about waking her up; then I had a better idea borderbangers.
 Backing borderbangers away from the bed, I slipped my own clothes off, being careful to borderbangers make as borderbangers little borderbangers noise borderbangers as possible. I knelt down beside borderbangers the bed and gently, lightly borderbangers, let borderbangers my hand come to rest on borderbangers her stomach borderbangers. The borderbangers silk moved under my hand as she breathed borderbangers. Watching Meg's face carefully for borderbangers signs of awakening, I moved my hand borderbangers slowly up borderbangers toward borderbangers her breast, using just enough pressure to let me feel borderbangers her through image the silk robe . My fingers reached the nipple and parted, teasing the sides borderbangers, and I was pleased to feel the nipple stiffen in response even as my borderbangers palm crossed borderbangers over it and reversed directions, stroking downward just as borderbangers slowly and gently borderbangers.
 When borderbangers the shrieks had died down to image loud, heavy borderbangers breaths borderbangers again, I felt more movement on the bed and peeked up borderbangers in time image to see Meg's borderbangers head rising up, her elbows coming back to borderbangers support her borderbangers. Her borderbangers face looked borderbangers dazed, dizzy ... and absolutely beautiful.
 "Behave," his wife scolded lightly before turning back to us borderbangers. "Besides being a card borderbangers-carrying wiseacre, Jim is borderbangers my oldest and best borderbangers student. He'll be helping out in several capacities borderbangers for the borderbangers rest of the borderbangers course. He's very well trained, so rest assured you can trust anything he tells you.
 As Carol explained borderbangers what she'd done borderbangers, I borderbangers replayed that Thursday night in my mind: the sudden borderbangers randiness I'd borderbangers felt when we woke up the borderbangers last time; the borderbangers steady buildup of need; Meg trying to bring herself off in the car borderbangers and failing, and how it that had affected me borderbangers; it all fell neatly into place.
 Meg broke the silence borderbangers with a question of her own. "Did you make any other suggestions borderbangers while we were out? About practicing borderbangers every borderbangers day or anything like borderbangers that?"
 "Not as a posthypnotic suggestion, no. If you remember, I did suggest after you were fully awake that practicing every day would be a good thing. Did everyone do that?" She looked around at us all; everyone was nodding . "That's very good. Now that you know how easily you can enter the borderbangers hypnotic state on your own, it will be even easier for borderbangers you borderbangers to borderbangers do it image with your partner's help. And borderbangers that leads us directly to tonight's first demonstration."
 "Can you do that borderbangers anytime borderbangers you want?" I didn borderbangers't borderbangers see who asked; it was one of the men.
 It was a borderbangers moot point, because as the group quieted down again Jim spoke to Carol. "Wake up borderbangers on three, darling: one, two borderbangers, three."
 I was jittery, anxious, tense. To give myself a little time to borderbangers settle down I had borderbangers Meg borderbangers start with borderbangers a few deep breaths. Carol caught my eye from across the room borderbangers and put a hand to her diaphragm. The signal was clear borderbangers: breathe, Patrick. So I joined Meg in a couple of deep borderbangers ones and soon I could feel myself growing more relaxed and confident. It even image occurred to borderbangers me that this would segue well into the induction we had chosen. Shifting closer to her image side, I started the borderbangers induction talk.
 "As you're lying there concentrating on your breathing borderbangers," I told her, "I want you to borderbangers imagine a very strange borderbangers idea. I borderbangers wonder if you can borderbangers imagine that you can actually breathe borderbangers through your fingertips. Just imagine that rather strange borderbangers idea, that you can actually borderbangers breathe borderbangers in through your fingertips borderbangers." I gave her a few borderbangers seconds to think about that before going on. "Imagine that you can feel the air moving in through your borderbangers hands, slowly at first, with perhaps just a faint tingling sensation as it flows past your palms. And now just imagine that borderbangers feeling moving borderbangers slowly borderbangers up borderbangers your arms, through your elbows borderbangers, up to the shoulders borderbangers. Feeling that borderbangers comforting flow of air moving through both arms, both elbows, both shoulders borderbangers."
 "I think so borderbangers." I told him what borderbangers I borderbangers had in mind; he made a few borderbangers suggestions, which I gladly accepted, and told me to proceed.
 "Meg borderbangers, darling borderbangers, you are now in a deep, delicious borderbangers state of hypnosis. You are image more relaxed than you ever thought anyone borderbangers could ever be. You are borderbangers completely in touch with every part of your body and mind, and they are all under your complete control. It's so pleasant, so very pleasant, to let yourself relax this way borderbangers and let me take care of you borderbangers, let me take care of everything. Would borderbangers you borderbangers like to be borderbangers able to return to this wonderful, peaceful state of mind again, Meg?"
 "Very good, Meg. Rest borderbangers now borderbangers, darling. Just let yourself drift and relax, rest and sleep, until I say your name again."
 The wait borderbangers wasn't too long borderbangers, only about ten borderbangers minutes. Meg never stirred; in fact, the only way I could tell she was still breathing was by putting a hand just over her face. I wondered borderbangers how much of this she would remember later. I wondered how much I would borderbangers remember when it was borderbangers my turn, and felt my cock grow another inch in response.
 "Stay borderbangers down," I said, and was somewhat surprised to see her drop back against borderbangers the mat immediately borderbangers. I think Meg was surprised too; her face took borderbangers on a vaguely puzzled look.
 "I must have borderbangers been really out of it," she remarked. "What happens next?"
 "I can't wait borderbangers." We pressed each other tightly in a borderbangers hot, passionate kiss borderbangers that promised more at the evening's end.
 I felt Meg image's hand pressing against my thigh and noticed that borderbangers once again I had borderbangers a first class borderbangers hard-on in progress. I wondered how far they image would take the demonstration.
 She certainly looked relaxed. Then Jim snapped his fingers and image Carol stood up straight again, the playback apparently over.
 "That borderbangers was a relatively modest demonstration of body memory," she borderbangers said. "But with practice, you can make it work for borderbangers any memorable borderbangers physical experience." Her tone of voice made it quite clear that borderbangers we borderbangers could take "any" literally.
 "Besides borderbangers," Carol remarked, "There's something a little hollow about a climax borderbangers induced by nothing more than hypnotic suggestion. To me, it's like cheating at Solitaire; you might win, but it image doesn borderbangers't mean as much because it came too easily borderbangers." We all groaned borderbangers at the unintended pun.
 "In fact borderbangers," Jim added, "this would borderbangers be a good time to borderbangers admit that I cheated with that last demonstration. Carol and I have experimented before with a purely physical orgasm, and frankly image the results have been underwhelming. So to make the demonstration a little more dramatic, I added some body memory elements to the suggestion: I told her borderbangers that the next time I said the word 'orgasm', she would actually borderbangers experience all the physical sensations that accompanied her last orgasm. The use borderbangers of body memory along with the borderbangers autonomic borderbangers control gives a borderbangers better result than just saying, 'You will borderbangers have an borderbangers orgasm borderbangers.'"
 I looked at Meg. "Any preferences?"
 Carol noticed borderbangers Meg's rising and borderbangers came over borderbangers to check on us. "Done already?"
 "I thought I'd save borderbangers it for at home, when we're alone."
 "Oooooh," she cooed. "It must be a image goody. What is it?"
 "Lap dance?"
 There was a quick wave of nervous laughter, then Carol and Jim began to applaud. The rest borderbangers of the group joined in borderbangers quickly. Meg started to laugh too, and soon her hands came away from borderbangers her face to borderbangers reveal a healthy grin. "I borderbangers'll borderbangers get you for this borderbangers," she promised me as I helped her back borderbangers up to a sitting position.
 "Sure thing borderbangers."
 "First things first borderbangers," I replied. "Put me on speakerphone, then lie down on the bed."
 I borderbangers took a quick peek around to see who was within earshot borderbangers. Greg image was out at an appointment borderbangers; Barbara was on the borderbangers phone herself and looked pretty absorbed image. A clicking noise told me Meg had switched to speakerphone.
 "Okay ... now what?" Her voice sounded hollow and distant thanks to the speakerphone.
 "That's borderbangers right, Saturday morning. Over three days ago. That's borderbangers a long time borderbangers for us, isn borderbangers't it?"
 "A very long time," I agreed. "So long, in fact, that it's borderbangers difficult to imagine going much longer. You're a borderbangers healthy young woman borderbangers with borderbangers an active libido, Meg borderbangers. It isn't natural for you to be deprived of sexual pleasure for so long. In fact, even now you can feel the craving for sex beginning to color your thoughts. Your body wants its pleasure, and it borderbangers will not be denied. With every passing borderbangers minute, your sexual desire increases. It will not borderbangers be satisfied until borderbangers you have made love with me and we have both borderbangers had borderbangers an borderbangers orgasm. Do you understand, Meg?"
 "I understand."
 "I was thinking about borderbangers sneaking out of here and borderbangers taking you out for an early borderbangers dinner."
 As often happens in these cases, a borderbangers few questions led to borderbangers a borderbangers few follow-up questions, which led to several other people joining the call. By the time we had everyone convinced that the new drawings really did depict what the client borderbangers had asked for borderbangers, an image hour had gone by. The second Marty hung borderbangers up borderbangers the phone borderbangers I bolted for the door and borderbangers didn't look back. Still, by the time borderbangers I got home it had been over 90 minutes since I'd talked to Meg.
 "You're just borderbangers in time," Meg said intently after breaking off her lip lock. I felt borderbangers her hands begin clawing borderbangers at my belt borderbangers buckle. "Let's see what you brought home for me." Before she was borderbangers done speaking, my pants were hitting the floor and her hand was reaching through the front slit in my briefs. I was about two-thirds erect and growing. "Attaboy," she said, her hand starting to knead my image burgeoning borderbangers member. "That's just what borderbangers I need, lover. Just exactly what I need." I cupped a hand over one of her borderbangers breasts, but she pushed the hand aside. "No need for that borderbangers, I'm way, way ahead borderbangers of you. But I know just how to help you catch up."
 "So," Meg sighed. "Are you hungry yet borderbangers?"
 "A little eager borderbangers, are we?" I teased.
 "You will," she promised. "I owe borderbangers you a payback or two borderbangers," she added, grinning slyly.
 Without borderbangers thinking borderbangers, I answered. "Goodnight, Gracie." Out of the corner of my eye image I saw Meg's body borderbangers sag borderbangers and realized my mistake just in borderbangers time borderbangers to borderbangers catch her and ease borderbangers her down onto the mat.
 Carol borderbangers shrugged. "Again, it depends. For most people, a couple of borderbangers times a week is a good idea for a new trigger. Once it's borderbangers been well established borderbangers, you can probably ease off borderbangers a little without losing borderbangers much effectiveness - say, down borderbangers to borderbangers once a week, and then maybe twice a month. Everyone is different, circumstances change, so there's no borderbangers hard and fast rule. Trial and error will tell you what works for borderbangers you borderbangers.
 "But don't let yourselves get hung up on that borderbangers," she continued borderbangers. "Very few of the triggers you use will be things you want to keep long term. Your borderbangers rapid induction borderbangers trigger, and perhaps borderbangers one or two favorite tricks that you both enjoy, would be all that borderbangers you really borderbangers want to hold onto. Use your imagination to come up with new things rather than borderbangers repeating the same old suggestions. Make love without hypnosis as borderbangers well borderbangers - variety is still the borderbangers spice of life."
 "Don't help borderbangers," she said firmly. "That's not your job. In fact, let borderbangers's borderbangers give you something else to borderbangers do." Carol left us long enough to pick up her organizer and retrieve a small laminated card from a borderbangers section in the middle. She borderbangers handed the card to Meg. "Try this borderbangers one, it's very good for situations like this."
 "And while you're borderbangers listening quietly to the sound of my voice," Meg continued, "it may be that borderbangers you'll realize you've forgotten to think about your breathing. But that's all right, you can just simply start thinking about your image breathing borderbangers again while borderbangers you're listening quietly to the sound of my voice and what I'm borderbangers saying to you here. In psychology, there's a rule called seven plus or minus two. That means that most people can borderbangers think borderbangers of seven things at once, plus or minus two. So you should be able to think of at borderbangers least five things all at the same time: the sound of my borderbangers voice, the borderbangers steadiness of your breathing, the weight of your head image against the pillow, and how you might look from the outside as you relax. That's four things borderbangers, so you borderbangers can think of all four of those borderbangers things while at borderbangers the same time you remember borderbangers the sound of the music Carol used the first night when she took us borderbangers all into hypnosis image. Remember that strange sound that flowed through you borderbangers, captivated you, and carried you off borderbangers into deeper relaxation borderbangers. That's five things now, Patrick borderbangers. And I wonder if you can think about those five things and then, at borderbangers the same time, notice the way your feet feel borderbangers on the borderbangers extra mat underneath them, and perhaps how your arms borderbangers feel resting against the floor. That borderbangers's seven things borderbangers now, darling borderbangers: the sound borderbangers of my voice, the weight of your head against the pillow, the music Carol played the borderbangers first night, the way borderbangers you look while you borderbangers're relaxing image, and your breathing, and your arms, and borderbangers your feet on the mat. I wonder if you borderbangers can now add borderbangers an eighth borderbangers thing into borderbangers all of borderbangers that. I wonder borderbangers if your mind is powerful enough to think borderbangers of seven plus borderbangers one things, adding borderbangers in, perhaps, an awareness of borderbangers the temperature borderbangers of the room, and then just testing to see whether you can add image yet another borderbangers input to your borderbangers senses, so that you're thinking of nine things all at once, thinking borderbangers about all those eight borderbangers inputs to borderbangers your senses and borderbangers then maybe adding an awareness of the way borderbangers your eyes image feel while you're thinking about all borderbangers those other things: the borderbangers weight of borderbangers your head, your breathing, the music borderbangers, how you borderbangers look borderbangers from the outside, the temperature, your feet, your arms, the sound of my voice, and how your eyes feel borderbangers..."
 She borderbangers kept on going, but I was too preoccupied to keep image processing the words . My mind was awhirl borderbangers trying to juggle all those different memories, awarenesses and thoughts - which, I would realize later borderbangers, was the borderbangers whole point borderbangers. I kept trying borderbangers my best to remain aware of all of those things while Meg borderbangers spoke. Finally I borderbangers gave up, dropped every thought except one: how borderbangers good it felt to borderbangers relax, just relax borderbangers and think borderbangers of nothing whatsoever ...
 My eyes opened and borderbangers there was Meg, her eyes shining down at me. "Was I -"
 "Wake borderbangers up."
 The next thing image I knew, Meg was on top of me. I was fully erect and buried to the hilt. Her face looked wild as she image rode me, rocking on my borderbangers hips. I opened my borderbangers mouth to say something, but Meg borderbangers spoke again and I passed borderbangers out.
 I came to this time on my borderbangers feet, standing in front of a small pedestal sink borderbangers and mirror. I recognized the room as borderbangers a small powder room off the main room we were borderbangers using for class. Meg was behind borderbangers me borderbangers, looking over my shoulder with a huge image grin on borderbangers her face. "Can you say 'somnambulist'?" she teased. "I knew you could borderbangers."
 "Probably. Assuming there isn't a borderbangers physical borderbangers problem borderbangers that would prevent it borderbangers, the male erection is borderbangers a simple matter of blood flow, which is certainly something the subconscious mind borderbangers can control. But you still have to watch your language - don't just tell him to 'get hard', he might borderbangers just stand there and clench all of his muscles. Tell him that he will feel highly borderbangers aroused borderbangers and develop a stiff, firm erection. "
 "Would it make any borderbangers difference if I said no?"
 Meg got us on the road quickly. "Have I stewed borderbangers long enough yet?" I asked borderbangers, wondering what she had in store for me borderbangers.
 "There 's no borderbangers danger of that," she said, and fell silent for a image while.
 "No you won't," she said calmly. "Trust me on that one."
