Hypnovember 2024 Week 4 - Checkpoint (FINAL WEEK!)

Aaaaand here we are! Hypnovember's all wrapped up. It was both more, and less, successful than I'd thought it might be. I ended up doing a lot more as a tist, aaaand about as much as a subject; personal life got in the way sometimes, but mostly got through it.

Also hit a milestone of the Real Life Jockbro work by making this my first consistent month ever on a M/W/F workout schedule. I know some people go six days a week, and the thought of only doing three is SCANDALOUS... but yknow what? It's the most I've ever done so I'm gonna celebrate it. Here's to growth, and increasingly horny protein shakes. 🙌

As a Tist, here's what I did for Week #4:

As of yesterday... I am officially prepped on Patreon for weekly releases through the end of March. Did a bunch of recording, all my producing and backend work... very proud of this output. In 2 days time, I'm off to Amsterdam for a deserved break lol, and will then be going to work on novels for a while as you enjoy my Q1 output. And, of course, continuing my hypnotherapy course to keep upskilling! 🥰 (It's great, but like 50 euro a month and I've been dragging it out lol so really wanna get it done soon so I can be free.)

Towards the end of December, I'll make a post about my future on Patreon as a whole. Some friends have encouraged me that maaybe 4 files a month is a little crazy and they're not wrong, but I wanna stick with it for at least a while to show myself I can do it.

I talked about the admin/creator side of things a lot this month, but it's because I'm very invested in growing Jockout/giving you guys a reason to stick around, and transparency helps with that. It's part and parcel of Patreon service but every month sees a bunch of user cancellations towards the end of it, so income can fluctuate a decent bit... but if possible, I wanna provide enough value and HOPE for good stuff to come that makes people believe I'm worth that monthly cost. I think I am - so it's my job to show it.

As a Subject, here's what I did for Week #4:

November 23rd:

Bigger, Dumber (Feedback Loop) by Avis Sapiens

Love Avis, and love this file, but what's with it having like 3-4 titles. The Patreon attachment, post, Tumblr post and Youtube release are all different... where's the consistency? Where's the organization?

Ahem.

Very fun dumbing/embiggening file. Enjoyed it a lot, listened 2x in a row and had a real tough time not reading the word "bigger" or "dumber" for several hours and immediately thinking of its opposite, which would set my brain off echoing "bigger, dumber, bigger, dumber" again. Worth a listen. Free.

November 24th:

Improve Visualisation, from the Uncommon Knowledge site

I sometimes dabble as creator and consumer in SFW content. Uncommon Knowledge is... fine. 22 euro for 2 files kinda sucks but they at least have a wide bevy of content and effective (if uninspired) technique. It's my background as an erotic/entertainment tist making me feel this way, but this file is very OKAY. Nothing I'd recommend; practicing visualization alone would likely be just as, if not more, effective. Paid.

November 25th:

Autogenic Training by no-one

Couldn't trance today, so instead spent the evening studying Autogenic Training as a concept. The short version is that Autogenic Training (henceforth known as AT) is a training system to help gain conscious control of elements of your autonomic nervous system, and therefore, learn to relax on cue. Effectively self-hypnosis, though not termed as such. You're meant to practice daily but I was unsure whether my many years as a hypno subject would let me skip that soooo. Haven't committed fully yet... here's the instructional I'll be using. Free.

November 26th:

Failing to Resist by Jack Drago

Admittedly, Jack's recent output (as in, since like... 2019) is not for me. Very not for me; no disrespect to anyone, but I don't like the themeing and it makes me vaguely uncomfortable! But his older stuff is great, and I think Failing to Resist is the file which gave me the most gains in trance skill. I have a trance trainer (of sorts) of my own coming out in December which digs a lot into the eroticism of amnesia, but this file is what made me a blackout subject. Free.

November 27th:

MC2: Manly Media Bubble by Jack Drago

Second verse same as the first... my same comments on his recent catalog notwithstanding, Jack's Masculine Conditioning series is truly excellent and this particular file is a free sample. Will hypnotise you to curate a more traditionally masculine "media bubble" and become influenced by the depictions of masculinity seen in it. Keen listeners will hear conceptual echoes between this series and my file, Masculinity Absorption. Free.

November 28th:

Shameless by Avis Sapiens

Blacked out to this, no recollection. Avis/me are just too good as a drop combo I fear. I think it's a self help file to make you less ashamed of kink... which always has the effect on me of making me much more bisexual for a while lol. Not sure what to make of that... probably something to unpack. For now, a nice blended sfw/nsfw listen. Paid, at least for now. Perhaps he'll bless us with a YT release someday. 

November 29th:

Himbo Loop by Hyphyphurray (The artist AKA JoshHypno and JoshHypno2)

Loooovely little loop for a day I was too stressed to trance. Love your voice, hyphyp. Mwah mwah. Idk if you're here but kisses anyway. It's great, and worth a listen. Check the sample out on Soundcloud. Paid.

November 30th:

Good Boys Resist... Redux by AshDoge and MC-4: Male Oriented Interests by Jack Drago

A new release from Ash, and a very good one. This was my "yayyy you survived November!" treat, and what a treat it is. Pup play oriented but a magical time focused on installing (and abusing) a "Good Boy" trigger - if YOU'RE reading this Ash, kisses again, great work. Love seeing you release such quality for me to fawn over. Nothing's more embarrassing than going to bat for someone truly mid, but I never fear that with my choices. 🫡

MC-4: Male Oriented Interests is conceptually similar to the above listed Manly Media Bubble, but this time not SO media heavy and also open in scope for pursuing hobbies, activities. Lowkey did it just because rugby's on and I wanted some reinforcement to make me watch it lol. Good file though, 2/3/4 are my favourite trilogy in the series and the best for being shaped generally by the external masculinities you see. It's what broadly inspired Masc Absorption though I definitely went my own way and wanted to take a different tack. If the MC series interests you, by all means go try it; but give Masc Absorption a go too if you haven't.

Both are paid.

And one final time, I think that's enough about me... what've YOU been up to? Sound off in the comments below, or in the Community chat, and let me know (in as much, or as little) detail as you'd like about how the last week, and the month as a whole, went for you in terms of hypno. Thank you very much to all who joined and contributed to the Hypnovember discussions. Maybe next year we'll take it to a broader platform, like Discord or Telegram...? Who knows! But see you another time for a monthly challenge; sooner than November, I'm sure.
