hypnosis and sexuality problems

[roshem400]

Hi

Please excuse my bad english, I'm foreign.

I am just starting my way in NLP and hypnosis, reading my first by Richard Bandler book, still learning about what hypnosis can treat other than the common that are mentioned everywhere online,
I came across this interesting article regarding hypnosis and sexuality:
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa4087/is_200504/ai_n13635423


the author is Daniel Araoz which is a professor at The C.W. Post campus of Long Island University, a National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis certified psychoanalyst, and an American Board of Professional Psychology diplomate.
He has a Ph.D. from Columbia University in Family Relations and has written many articles and several books, mainly on hypno- therapy.


the part of sexuality preferences is what intrigues me the most. (page 3 - the case of Nancy)
this is the first time I heard the term "mental rehearsal"

I would like to appologize in advanced if the subject of sexual preferences offends any of you.

regardless to what the person feels about his/her sexual arousal triggers, do you believe it is possible for one to self-hypnotise and change his/her sexual preferences to enable him/her to widen his/her range of sexual arousal triggers ?
could he/her choose for example to be turned on by a woman's elbow instead of a woman's breast or butt ? (pardon the language, I know this is funny but i'm just theorizing)
what portion of this hypnotherapy is depended of the undesired sexual preference to be a result of a childhood trauma ? what if this is not a result of such a case ?

I may be asking this question on other boards.

roshen400,

There are people who get turned on by german shepard dogs.

There are people who get turned on by cutting themselves.

The human mind can make anything erotic.

And yes hypnosis can assist someone to accomplish it.

cheers,

Hello,

Self-hypnosis for such change is difficult.

You might want to check out his book, HypnoSex.

I agree with Merlin that using self-hypnosis for this would be difficult.

there is suppose to be a question mark at the end of that....couldn't find the "Edit" button....

You ask a question about possibilities, based on information you offer. Having read that information, that tell me no training is possible, and it is next to impossible to get books either, the answer to your question is a definite NO.
If books were available, the answer would still be NO. If training were available, and based on your negative attitude and unwillingness to search for yourself, the answer continues to be NO.
From you own mouth you reject the possibility of success, (and they say I mind read.) I bet you would also tell us no therapist is available either wouldn't you? :eek:

[Don]

Roshem, yes, that's the book. You'll learn about what you want to do.

I have a question. If you broke your arm, would you search around for a book on how to set the arm and put it into a cast or would you find an expert who knows exactly what to do?

[roshem400]

I may have been misunderstood because I picked the wrongs words as my english is not very good.

You ask a question about possibilities, based on information you offer.



no, based upon information I found on the Internet: I was referring to what I believe is the most common usage of hypnosis:
Stress
Health
Tension
Headaches
Allergies
Insominia
Visualisation
Relaxation
Self-Confidence
Motivation
Sadness
Emotional Pain
Addictions
Creativity
Goal Setting
Medical Procedures
Trust Issues
Self-Improvement
Anxiety
Weight Management
Anxiety Childbirth Spiritual Development
Sports Performance Pain Management Fears/Phobias
Smoking Cessation
Mind/Body Healing
Dental Procedures
Co-Dependency
Developing Skills


tell me no training is possible

when did I do that ? I understand Daniel Araoz does this kind of training


and it is next to impossible to get books either

well I did'nt a lot of books regarding hypnosis and sexual preference problems when I did my best searching, guess it wasn't good enough.


negative attitude and unwillingness to search for yourself

just because I couldn't find the information doesn't mean it doesn't exists, I can try and fail, it's not THAT bad.
posting at boards is part of my searching, the search continues after this thread, If I seem to have a negative attitude that is YOUR impression, I don't I have one.


you reject the possibility of success

you mean success at finding solutions to the problems I specified in my thread in the field of hypnosis ?
not yet, I can not reject it until I know ALL aspects of this matter and I think I am currently very far from that, I still believe in the possibility of success and when I'll stop searching and make a thread about "there are no solutions for the following problems in the field of Hypnosis" - THEN reject the possibility of success.



here again are the questions I wanted to debate this thread (field of sexuality and hypnosis):
regardless to what the person feels about his/her sexual arousal triggers, do you believe it is possible for one to self-hypnotise and change his/her sexual preferences to enable him/her to widen his/her range of sexual arousal triggers ?
could he/her choose for example to be turned on by a woman's elbow instead of a woman's breast or butt ? (pardon the language, I know this is funny but i'm just theorizing)
what portion of this hypnotherapy is depended of the undesired sexual preference to be a result of a childhood trauma ? what if this is not a result of such a case ?

that is what I wanted to talk about, maybe I wasn't so clear on what I wanted to talk about, maybe ALL of you already know all there is to know about this field and the answers to those questions.

furthermore:
I believe I did not understand most of your post because it seems like it is very far from what I asked.
what was the whole idea of your post ? to show contradictions in the logic of a newbie for what cause ?
it's so easy to bash the new guys isn't it ?
is this how you "Senior Members" treat new members ? don't you think that just this once you went a little out of line ?
don't worry , other than posts I've made today i'm not going to be visiting this board anymore.

goodbye.

Roshem, my apology, you got a message not intended as a reply to your post, but to another. Not surprisingly you misunderstood. Must have been a bit of a shock. Sorry for the mistake, I was reply to several posts at once.

[Jack]

Think of it this way, Roshem: some people like breasts, legs, eyes, buttocks, words, music or particular odours as a trigger for sexual arousal.

Others like tins of canned tuna with a blue label.

If you wished you could self-hypnotise yourself to be turned on by cans of tuna. After all you self-hypnotised yourself to be turned on by whatever you are turned on by now, didn't you?

Problem is you may not be skilled enough to do it on a consciously voluntary basis. That may be a good thing.
