Reader’s Picks: Paperbag
Email: paperbagselects@gmail.com
For so much of my life, I have been fascinated by the mind control fetish before I could put a name to it. It was a real discovery to find Anonymous-010’s “Hypnotic Roommates” at the end of the 20th century. From then on I have been checking in and reading new stories at the The Erotic Mind-Control Story Archive. On the MCForum, its know me as Paperbag. Under the same name, I had created a number of popular manips on the Hypnopics Collective.
I am enthusiastic about all kinds of multimedia fiction featuring sexy women captivated by hypnosis whether it be TV shows, movies, comics, manips, pornographic productions and text-based stories. My tastes tend to lean into dark, scary and perverse storylines that strongly relate to the subjective experience of the doomed victims under the influence of mind control. It’s a great sign if the character’s plight intensifies through pulse-pounding suspense and a willingness to descend past the point of no return.
Here are some stories that made an indelible impression on me. And hopefully some of these may affect you too.
Helping a Family by LonelyJedi
Poor, overworked Jennifer. The beautiful, professional, young nurse was doomed the moment her schedule was changed to look after the bedridden Mrs. Cabrera for five days straight. The roles would irreducibly reverse for the caretaker the moment Jennifer felt the seductive, post-pregnant mother draw light circles over her hand and then get obliviously lulled into deeper, susceptible trances. From there, Jennifer’s whole identity will be thoroughly distorted, deranged and fulfilled anew before going home with her “parents”.
I have been an hardcore advocate for this very dark and twisted story since it was published in 2011. The intensity of Jennifer’s inductions, brainwashing, dreams and new unreality is vividly experienced as she gullibly agrees to all manner of perversity and wrongness to her beliefs, body and future. This story should also appeal to fans of full, lactating breasts featured in a spellbinding chapter that is rounded out with Jennifer feeling confused with a belly full of mother’s milk.
LonelyJedi’s debut “Helping a Family” is as hot as it is disturbing.
The Lifestyle Series by Kallie
As an author active for almost a decade now, Kallie has earned a formidable reputation as a sadistic storyteller who plays for keeps. The dread and agony her stories inspire is deeply felt. Her stories usually feature sadistic hypnotists who favor rigorous brainwashing through relentless body workouts, bimbofication, lowering of status and humiliating roleplaying, plummeting the girl of choice’s intelligence into foundational levels of numbskullery as well as being dominated into bottomless obedience. Best of all, the creative depths of her writing when conveying her subjects’ minds being saturated by total hypnosis has a searing, captivating mastery.
Since one of Kallie’s masterpiece “Extra Tuition,” a personal favourite, has already been selected, I am honoured to single out three stories chronicling a powerful elitist mind control cabal and its chosen victims. Each chapter engages the degrading transformation of a targeted woman who experiences deliciously mind-melting downfalls that transforms their entire being into silly playthings. The first features an innocent investigative reporter, the second a ruthless, hypnosis-wielding CEO and the third is a real surprise. In its entirety, the series is full of surprises, featuring recurring characters and there is even a loving relationship to be found if you just lose yourself to them.
Bob’s Bimbo Beach Bar Bunnies by Ntrance
If only Chloe Anderson wasn’t endowed with such obscenely large breasts, she may never have gone to the lengths or even travelled from her native UK to Thailand to write a magazine article exposing its rampant misogyny, exploitation and sexual slavery. See, Chloe feels like her status as a respectable, intelligent young woman is sabotaged by her tits taking up attention. So her fate is sealed when she settles down to get some writing done in a sleazy dive run by its lecherous owners who decide to play mind games on the defenceless, workaholic snob. Even her self-assured wits lose the plot, her consciousness and agency as she is subtly and then turned into a total airhead. She would have even been tossed back like a caught fish if it hadn’t been for having such large boobies.
What follows is an exceptionally well-observed and researched character study as Chloe finds herself becoming more agitated and indifferent to her high-minded pursuits. She makes up for them by delving into her newfound delights like “slippery nipples,” full-bodied suntans at the beach, dressing provocatively, and hanging out at her favourite Thai bar run by the coolest guys. Though, she sees no reason she is not in control. Her constant reevaluation on her circumstances is exploited most insidiously. One of the many standout moments has Chloe, surprised to be tempting with the staff of scantily clad waitresses one minute and then participating with them in a blindsiding session of identity-swapping. The author Ntrance has created a wonderful bimbification story that is riveting, funny, erotic as well as heartbreaking.
I would also recommend Ntrance’s “Boom or Bust”, a short story featuring a smart, no-nonsense reporter who gets invited by her friends to participate in an erotic hypnosis stage show.
A Cure for Boredomme by Hypnosissir
The terrific writer Hypnosissir has made a point of crafting erotic mind control tales where the process of hypnotizing and brainwashing the women is conveyed convincingly and takes its very sweet time to do so. As a fan of lengthy hypnosis inductions, this is high praise since the long-held and ongoing hypnosis sessions keep the reader and the brainwashed lovies completely absorbed.
Out of several wonderful stories, I will highlight the masterpiece “A Cure for Boredomme” about a skilled hypnotherpist named Dr. Hannah Hunt who is playing a dangerous game working for mobsters. Her assignment is to capture, brainwash and manipulate Emily Tobias, a gorgeous 42-year-old Assistant District Attorney. Hannah has the high skill and nerve to do just that over a delicious feat of hypnotizing Emily into the deepest, most blissful entrancement while they’re in public at a prestigious dining gala surrounded by hundreds.
There is much more to come with each succeeding chapter as Emily continues to transcend the deepest trances over the course of several inventive scenarios of Hannah’s design. And yet, Hypnosissir, still brings forth a story with exciting developments and a surprise ending delivering just comeuppances. The many hypnosis scenes expertly executed are comparable to those in the epic, yet sadly unavailable story on the archive “Consensual Consequences” by Clare de Luna. Again, high praise.
Reminiscent of the classic story “Encyclopedia” by This Guy and then running that premise into uncompromising erotic-hypnotic madness, Anonymous-043 made a perverse and severe debut a decade ago with “Package Deal”. This well-written character study centers on Karen, a gorgeous, top-heavy 37-year-old mother who has worked hard to overcome challenges to build a good, stable life having raised her daughter, Jennifer, who is now 18, the same age as when Karen had her. These women are so well fleshed out and grounded in reality that it creates an explosive charge when Bob, a Mr. Cellophane at first impression, uses his uncanny mind control powers to alter Karen’s thoughts so precisely and acutely that she isn’t even aware it is happening — causing her confusion as she complies to do things no rational woman would ever do.
This story made a real impression on me. It is full of insidious and delicious moments and details such as the shrunk t-shirt that she “decides” to wear outside to the beach as it stretches by the seams all day. Early on, Karen has to have it explained to her by Bob that she is under mind control while feeling weirdly serene about having her own will hijacked by this guy. Later when she has accepted that she is her Master’s new girlfriend, she asks him “So, how’s the enslavement going?” like it was casual. The mother and daughter’s temperaments and sex drive differ as does their suggestibility by physic mind control. A bombshell revelation to Karen about Bob’s designs toward her and Jennifer are made clear at the halfway mark is so devastating that it could ended there, but Anonymous-043 keeps pushing Karen and Jennifer down to their inevitable tragic fate that is troubling, sexy as fuck and weirdly sweet between the mother and daughter all things considered.
Blonde Ambition (Tithug) by Tithug
This is a very unsettling, crushing and at times morbidly funny read, but nevertheless it’s impossible to stop along with the main character Kimberly, a very smart and serious university student, getting helplessly hypnotized and brainwashed into lowering her intelligence, changing her appearance, trashing everything she stands for and, worse of all, fully aware as she carries out her dumbing-down programming in anguish. Her whole life is set towards a losing streak into total bimbofied failure.
All because Kimberly inadvertently insulted her roommate, Lily, in a rush of anger and becomes the target of an exceptionally cruel mind-fucker. Lily stays true to form to the end while Kimberly begs, mourns for herself and succumbs every time into suggestible trance. The tension of transforming someone who feels so real into pure, obscene, deranged sex fantasy is electrifying. What also helps is that the inductions are delectable and well worth waiting for. This debut by the new author Tithug in the forum is very strong, scary and unforgettable.
Convince Me of Anything by NickelModelTales
This story by NickelModelTales is expertly told and full of surprises. Featuring an VIP escort looking for an escape from high-end prostitution, which she only took because of her crippling college debt that her regular job as a paralegal can barely pay off. Anyone looking to hit around the sweet spot in Trilby Else’s spectacular “Outcall,” “Convince Me of Anything” is a very exciting work of erotica for those who enjoy having the gorgeous, desperate woman getting herself out of a tight spot by agreeing to go deeper (and deeper!) into her client’s hypnotizing command.
The overall tone and character development is stimulating while keeping things relatively light despite how dark the premise could have gotten. For instance, there’s a sweet scene where the protagonist and another escort named Kellie after a night of mesmerized debauchery, wake up and decide to go to a cafe to compare notes on their unique girlfriend experience. However, this in no ways lessens the suspense as the offer for one more night’s work under hypnosis brings the escort that much closer out of debt. Fans of hypnotically-induced orgies will be especially tickled by Chapter 3.
At 19999 words, “Abducted” may be a real challenge for some readers, however, I was amazed by this very long-sustained, minutely detailed and discombobulating alien capture of a human woman. It is an unforgettable and intense experience of mind control erotica featuring the author’s recurring female character Tessi who I imagine is rebooted and recycled for each time she appears in one of many stories.
Thoroughly described by the very prolific and talented MoldedMind, the woman’s mundane thoughts early one morning lead her down like intoxicating molasses to a nefarious and trippy brainwashing in her shower. She is then compelled to obediently go outside in broad daylight naked to be levitated into a spaceship that leads to so much more strange, squick-friendly as well as such beyond-the-wild bodily and mentally transformation. This is all done to her by the control of aliens who have zero concern and caution for its abducted female specimen. It is scary, singular and ferociously kinky for mind control enthusiasts who want a sharp erotic jolt.
What makes the story wonderfully executed by Glass O is that the protagonist, Brenda, is a fully realized character whose thoughts on exploring Hollywood Boulevard as a tourist are so fascinating and specific that it makes a hell of an impact when her mind is irrevocably dumbed down and whole identity submerged.
As one of the major highlights of 2023, “Becoming Angelyne” is the first and very promising chapter that the author had promised a new chapter would be added. I sincerely hope that Glass O continues the story soon.
The Reward is in the Risk by Crimson Citizen
This is an intensely suspenseful and sexy story about a lovely woman named Emily who inadvertently finds herself trapped inside a gathering with hypnotized sex slaves and a ruthlessly cunning Mistress. Her only recourse is to blend in with the hypnotized women and escape undetected... The writing and tension throughout is deliciously diabolical and seductive.
Having written a few stories since 2022, “The Reward is in the Risk” announced Crimson Citizen as a talent to watch who knows how to make the main heroine squirm, submit and relish her submission.
