In the general sense, this phenomenon is known as the placebo effect. In numerous studies, people who were given ordinary sugar pills behaved and felt differently only because they thought they should. It's clear that the mind can influence all aspects of the physical body, so it makes sense that a firmly held belief can reduce pain or even help treat a disease.....[/QUOTE] I don't know about it being a placebo, some hypnotists argue that entering a state of trance is trance, induction is trance. but when I worked for www.vicesisters.com my russian boss said that with any new hooker of his, he would get them to a state of total bliss and then touch them. And from then on when the hookers freak out, and trust me they do, he can have a weapon of offense in the simple same physical induction that he gave her when she was at her best. It usually works.
