When I left Boston, things were just starting to get really, really good. It was painful to be torn away from it - even if it was for two beautiful years in Italy. Although it was an amazing period, and even included some public kink, such as workshops in Milan, Ireland, London, Switzerland, and of course NEEHU in Connecticut (twice!), I felt way too far from flourishing north american erotic hypnosis.
Now I've just completed a dizzyingly intense but very satisfactory career change (which is why I've been flying under the radar, even though I've been here since September). And it means I get to control where and how I live more than ever before. I choose Boston. Home of the New England Hypnosis Group, and striking distance to TES, the Geeky Kink Event, Deepmind Darkwood, the Fetish Flea Market, Manchester Hypnosis Munch, and many other wonderful events and groups. And it won't cost me $1000 to go to NEEHU, thank christ. And Boston is the big, tiny, brainy, knuckleheaded, loud, contemplative, historical, trendy, prudish, perverted city that's won my heart.
Most of all it's about the people - those unforgettable, super-creative, big-hearted kinksters I met during my previous 3 years here, and the future friends I hope to meet.
Now that I've found a home, my number two priority is building community - in particular, consent-oriented erotic hypnosis community. I want to be super involved in the exciting development of hypnosis as an art (including the art of negotiation) that happens when we exchange ideas and experiences. I want to see and do lots of sexy hypnosis. And I want to introduce it to many people and communities who have never heard of it or didn't think it could be their thing.
My number one priority is getting my girlfriend over here. My spectacular swiss miss khatsha, who completely outshines me in charm, style, and presenting ability - and is at least as big of a hypnoperv. Not only do I love her and love being around her, but she will make a fearsome partner in growing Boston hypnosis. We have a lot to figure out, and there's always risk, but I want this to happen so much, so soon. It won't be long now!
In the meantime, whether you're someone I knew from before, or a new acquaintance, I'm really looking forward to saying hi! It's just the beginning.
