Monthly Challenge #2: Trance Development, Week 3! (April 15th-21st, 2025)

Another week doneeee ~ and a big week for Jockout releases: the three-way collab with Ash and Sunny finally came out, which I hope you all enjoyed, and “Fall In Line | Conform”; a piece I was very excited about from the moment I finished recording, haha. April having six releases is pretty crazy and I don’t think I’ll be doing it again - but it’s cool to have achieved that!

It was also, of course, Week 3 of this Monthly Challenge. So let’s get into that! This edition will be less emo than the last 😝

But first, housekeeping:

I WANT A NICE CLEAN GAME OUT THERE, HYPNOSLUTS… SO LET’S REVISIT THE RULES:

1. Pick your own trancing schedule (something that's a bit ambitious, but reachable) and stick to it. Can be "per week" or even "per month" or whatever, however you'd like to shape the goal yourself. I am aiming to trance daily; you don't have to, and you're not less valid for a lower goal.

2. They don't have to be just Jockout files.

3. The aim of this challenge is Trance Development. What's that?

Trance Development = developing your skill with trance.

All that being said, how’d I get on this week?

(This fully took me 15-20 minutes to make. NOT worth it.)

Pretty good! Just missed the one day; but this week’s trance reports will feel a bit thin, for the reason that I mostly drilled one file consistently ft. some Chew Toy interludes, and it was not a super spicy sexy erotic one…

That’s also going to FUCK my usual formatting, so. Bear with me.

April 15th + 16th + 17th + 18th: Handler Training by Hyphyphurray (Josh Hypno)

This is an individually paid release, and one I imagine won’t appeal to MOST readers here but I’m gonna talk about it anyway because it was this week’s Project.

It’s a file that was a lot more… almost, spiritual than I’d expected. That’s not a bad thing but I wasn’t quite primed for a less-erotic time with HHH’s voice specifically, as I’ve come to associate that with fairly sexual experiences 😝 Sue me, I’m easily conditioned. I think I’ve done this file 5-6 times total and it’s something that has made me fairly ponderous/reflective about my own engagement with domming and how it feeds into who I am as a person… and vice versa, how who I am feeds into my domming style.

I love a little reflection so that doesn’t bother me; and my own view of hypno/the mind/that subconscious realm of emotion means that I’m quite used to having stuff shaken loose by trance, and needing to process it afterwards. I’m a serial journaller too, haha. But the deeper, emotional nature of this piece and the slow burn of its reflection means there’s not a ton to say here beyond that:

It successfully made me 🤔💭 about myself as a handler/dom (which is at least partially the hat I wear here as a tist!) and I did find myself being a little more ummm... I guess Mom-mode with friends this week. “Assertively caring”? 😝

Hard to pick out exactly where the file’s effects manifested, but I do think I was more in that Handler/Soft Dom headspace this week and can only credit it to this file. If the theme interests you, it is a good listen! I just acknowledge it's niche.

April 15th: Hypnotist’s Office (1, 2, 3, 4, 6) by Chew Toy

I’m really not fucked linking all these… I’m sorry lol. The first few are also exclusively on Warpmymind so good luck to you diving into that hellhole, because…

They were very good, and worth doing IMO.

On the 15th, I’d had a too-strong coffee too-late in the day and ended up being awake till fully 6 a.m… so at around 3, I got bored and decided I’d try out the first of this series from Chew Toy - short, 10-15 minute trance trainers that flow in a sequence. I kinda just… kept wanting to listen, so I did, and ended up zonking for 60-70 mins or so doing these I guess. My memory of them is limited atm; I was sleep-deprived and also, trance amnesia. But I enjoyed them and plan to revisit, as I am ALWAYS interested in improving my trance skills hahah.

This night really exemplified the snowball effect of hypnosis for me, where it becomes easier and easier to keep saying “Yes” as you go - even when it ends up being Unwise, where it keeps you up late.

April 16th: Enthusiastic Consent by Chew Toy

Little memory of this even though I did it twice - I think it improves suggestibility and has you answer some stuff aloud… I did enjoy it, though!! I’m just really good at forgetting.

April 17th: Yes by Chew Toy

This one has you saying “yes” aloud and nodding on rhythm - uses a bobblehead motif I think, which is pretty hot from the “empty-headed toy” perspective as it guides you through the automatic movement. Chew Toy is sorta my first foray into a lot of pretty common hypnotic cliches (which is not a read, it’s fun!), and I’m discovering I like them more than I’d imagined I would. Idk if I'm going to revisit this one, specifically... but I may.

April 20th: Focus and Spiral Fetish by Chew Toy

Focus, to me, was another trance trainer; perhaps it has some Machiavellian design I’m unaware of, but was honestly just a pleasant drop with a… focus (🥁) on helping you pay keener attention to a specific stimulus, like a single voice in hypnosis. My attention span’s fried so, sounds good to me.

Spiral Fetish installs an open trigger to make spirals drop you. I would like this to be true for me. 🙂‍↕️ So I wanna give this a go for a bit, and see how it develops in my mind… I AM the Patient Zero Hypnoslut after all, you can’t be surprised.

April 21st: Spiral Fetish and Basic Suggestions by Chew Toy, Realizing Your Pup Potential by AshDoge

Spiral Fetish again, followed by a slightly more Chew Toy-specific trance trainer. Enjoyed it! Don’t remember it.

Realizing Your Pup Potential, or Realizing your PP as I call it 🙂‍↕️ is… kinda hard to describe. I use it as a motivating piece, a way to help me get on track when I have a period I really wanna tunnel hard into my to-do list, but it's not boring self-help. It's definitely spicy/sexy and pup affirming. I don’t really know if I respond to the file in the way you’re supposed to, but I do seem to get more done in the periods I’m drilling it!

Since I’m taking a lil ascetic week away from my Jockout socials, and I wanna really try recalibrate myself to self-care and habits I’ve been neglecting, it felt like a good one to add to the rotation. I will PROBABLY listen to it every day for the next week and see how it goes!

...Oh yeah.

I should probs "announce" that a bit more formally here.

I'm going to try be offline/unavailable for most of this next week, the 21st-28th. I considered not announcing it at all as really, who cares, but figure I should say something since I'm usually super-around and now won't be.

The fact is I've honestly just been spending too much time on the Discord and Bluesky side of things, and I want to reconnect to myself + a more analog world. (Touch grass, so to speak, though I spend 3-4 hours outdoors every day so like... not a literal concern for me. I've just discovered I can touch grass WHILE glued to my phone screen, and wish to stop that.)

Anyway.

Talk when I'm back~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaaaand that's a wrap.

Let me know! How'd YOUR third week go? How are you feeling about the upcoming week 4? And if you didn't join me yet... you still can. Even though there’s only one week left, that’s still > zero, bro. Don’t be shy.

P.S: It's so funny I forgot this lmao. But I also completed a hypnosis course this week - a reasonably well-respected one, though I'm hesitant to describe any as such hahah. Here's the cert! It's def been helpful and some stuff from it has been cropping up in my files since November~ so can't say I haven't applied it.
