S&M hypnosis therapy serves up soothing sadism

 "When I was still an S&M dominatrix, I was whipping this masochistic guy into shape one day and the thought suddenly occurred to me that what I was doing was very similar in a lot of ways to counseling. I decided right on the spot that I'd be better off going into counseling on a full-time basis," Ai Aoyama, Japan's main proponent of S&M Hypnosis Therapy, tells Spa! (5/17).

Aoyama operated a number of flesh trade outlets before hitting the jackpot with her S&M Hypnosis Therapy.

She employs women as counselors, whose job it is to soothe male customers by providing them with a session of S&M Hypnosis.

"(S&M Hypnosis) involves first hypnotizing the customer so they believe they're something small and weak, like a child or a little animal. While they're still in a trance, you subject them to a brutal session of sadism. After they've borne that, you lavish them with praise," the dominatrix cum madam says. "The therapeutic effects of S&M Hypnosis are dozens of times greater than a normal session of S&M."

Aoyama currently employs five dominatrixes. Aoyama set up her business pyramid style, with herself placed firmly at the top.

"My biggest problem when running a sex business is dealing with other people. So many times, I've had girls gang up on me in secret and then stab me in the back. It's happened many times up until now. I took on one woman to run a business for me. She took all my best girls and then opened up a place right near mine, using all the techniques I'd showed her and working in direct competition to me," she says.

Aoyama argues that strict discipline in dealing with staff is essential if trying to run a successful S&M Hypnosis brothel.

"I make absolutely sure that none of my girls have any social links with each other. They're banned from exchanging e-mail addresses or mobile phone numbers and I never let them go home from work together," Aoyama says. "Then, if there's anything they're worried about, even if it's a personal matter, I order them to talk to me about it first so that we can solve it together."

Perhaps, the weekly suggests, the dominatrix is being a little too dominating? Never, the mistress bellows.

"Lots of women running ordinary companies take the same approach to dealing with staff," she tells Spa!

Enjoy!

FYI, most of these "Wai Wai" stories are either outrightly made-up or half-truths based on another story. Kinda like a PG-13 Penthouse Forum to titillate salarymen on the train (translated into English for this webite), get them ready for their daily grope, perhaps.

Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)

More news from the "Hello-Kitty Land of Not-Quite-Right".

(I can't remember what on-line forum I picked that description up from, but its origin was the sister of a forum member, who had gone to Japan as an ESL teacher, and returned as soon as she could get out of her contract.)

Actually Japan is fascinating because it is the only non-Western country to modernize on its own terms rather than through colonialism or enforced Marxism. But, my goodness, modernity without even the sickly, denatured remnants of Judeo-Christian civilization represented by secular humanism is odd, isn't it!

Interesting point. What about Korea?

I supposed this can be added to the "Women Only" trains now running in Tokyo...what a PR fiasco for Japan internationally, even though they, the media and government and train companies, seem somehow 'proud' of it.

The mere existence of it having to be instituted points to what otherwise would be a huge, cultural embarrassment in front of the whole wide world (over the -- ahem! -- rather erratic public behavior of a number (not all, though!) of various Japanese men on trains).

Sometimes, "Mac's" early 1950s commments about Japan seem on target. What else can I say????
