The following is a transcript of an interview recorded by one of our correspondents, Carter Smith. The subject is Goddess Marquesa, an erotic hypnotist.

 

 

CS: Thank you for taking this interview with me today.

 

GM: That is quite all right. I have read your journal for many years; I was surprised that you would take an interest in my work.

 

CS:  I am writing a piece about modern sexuality, and thought that you could bring in a perspective that my readers would find novel and interesting.

 

GM: I see.

 

CS: How long have you been an erotic hypnotist?

 

GM: [Laughs] Longer than I would care to say.

 

CS: Have you always been a dominant?

 

GM: Yes.

 

CS: For our readers who are unfamiliar with that term, could you please explain what it means.

 

GM: I enjoy controlling people.

 

CS: Sexually?

 

GM: Sexually, yes. But not exclusively. I enjoy controlling people full stop.

 

CS: [Coughs] I see. And you use hypnosis to control people?

 

GM: I use desire to control people. Their desire for me. Hypnosis allows me to shape and direct that control, but its essence is rooted in desire.

 

CS: [Clears throat] You can make anyone desire you?

 

GM: I generally don’t have to “make” anyone desire me, they come to that naturally. I just have to be myself, and wait for the moment when the person I wish to control has become drawn to me.

 

CS: Does that always happen?

 

GM: Yes, to different degrees.

 

CS: How do you recognize when someone has come under your influence?

 

GM: Oh, there are a thousand signs…The transition can be quite gradual.

 

CS: What do you mean?

 

GM: Well…The effect I have on a man is very spontaneous. If he has been around me for any amount of time his feelings will gradually begin to change in ways too subtle for even him to notice. He may be in a relationship with someone else, even be the property of another Mistress, but he will invariably feel the force of my allure.

 

CS: [Clears throat] Really? That seems rather incredible…

 

GM: [Laughs] I can see the change before he does. Often a man will approach me with a very no-nonsense, professional air. But after a little while it will become clear that he is distracted. He can’t stop glancing at my legs. Or perhaps his eyes linger on my breasts just a little bit too long.

 

CS: [Coughs] Well…to change the subject….

 

GM: Soon his breathing becomes shallow…his pupils dilate. Beads of sweat form on his brow…

 

[Scuffling noise]

 

GM:…He shifts uncomfortably in his chair, trying to adjust for the swelling of his cock in his pants.

 

CS: Please, Goddess Marquesa, if I may….

 

GM: Would you like to know what I enjoy the most?

 

CS: [Coughs] Excuse me?

 

GM: Would you like to know what I enjoy the most?

 

CS: I…well…yes, I suppose….

 

GM: I love the moment of surrender.

 

CS: Surrender?

 

GM: I see it in a man’s eyes. The moment he realizes that he can’t overcome his desire for me.  When he understands that everything else…everything he has been clinging to…inhibitions…fear…pride….loyalty to his girlfriend or wife…. can’t hold him any longer.  When he knows that his need is too great, his resistance impossible. It is like watching a flower open its petals or scenting the first aroma of a delicious meal. Mmmm…..

 

[Scuffling noise]

 

GM: Are you all right?

 

CS: I’m sorry…I became light-headed for a moment…This….this moment of surrender…what are you implying?

 

GM: Implying? Nothing, I’m sure.

CS: You didn’t mean to describe me.

 

GM: No…certainly not. You’ve been very professional. I haven’t seen that look in your eyes…yet.

 

CS: You are very beautiful, it’s true…but I am only here to interview you…I wouldn’t think to…

 

GM: Of course not.

 

CS:  No.

 

GM: No…and yet…

 

CS: Yet?

 

GM: I couldn’t help noticing the way you have been looking at me.

 

CS:  I haven’t….

 

GM: You stopped taking notes a few minutes ago. Your eyes haven’t strayed from my legs or my breasts. I tried bobbing my foot up and down to see if your gaze would follow it, and it did.

 

CS: Please…Goddess Marquesa…these tapes are transcribed and reviewed by my editor. Don’t…

 

GM: Don’t what?

 

CS:  Don’t…don’t….

 

GM: It’s hard to concentrate while you look at me, I know. Don’t fight it….just relax…take deep breaths….focus on the sound of my voice….

 

CS: [Whimpers] Please….you are so beautiful…but there is someone else…someone I must….I must…..

 

GM:  Listen…and breathe…You don’t have to worry about anyone else…You only have to listen to my voice, and look at my legs….My feet are very beautiful, aren’t they?

 

CS: Yes, but….

 

GM: Just relax, pet. You’re trembling…I know what might help.  If you bark like a dog, I might let you suck on my toes…you would like that wouldn’t you?

 

CS: I….no….no, please….don’t make me…..

 

GM: No one will force you pet. You will do it because it pleases me, and because you can’t go any longer without sucking on my toes….

 

[One minute of silence. Heavy breathing]

 

CS: [Moans]

 

GM: Ah! There it is, that delectable look. That’s right….don’t resist….you can feel yourself giving way…

 

CS: [Makes barking noises]

 

GM: [Laughs] Good boy. Come get your reward.

 

[Scuffling noises, followed by loud sucking sounds for two minutes]

 

GM: That’s enough, pet. Back to your seat. Be a good puppy.

 

[Scuffling noises, followed by the thud of someone sitting heavily in a chair]

 

CS: [Gasping for breath]

 

GM: Relax…breathe deeply…That’s right…You need to rest for a moment. Let me ask the questions for a little while.

 

CS: Yes….[yawns]…please…

 

GM: You want me very much, don’t you?

 

CS: [Moans] Yes, Goddess….yes I do.

 

GM: And you will be a good boy for me, won’t you?

 

CS: I will.

 

GM: Then tell me the truth…the idea for this interview wasn’t yours, was it?

 

CS: No, Goddess.

 

GM: Mistress Xenandra told you to conduct this interview, didn’t she?

 

CS: [Heavy breathing] Yes, Goddess….

 

GM: And you were to write an unfavorable portrait of me, isn’t that so?

 

CS: Yes, Goddess.

 

GM: But you will not do that now.

 

CS: No, Goddess.

 

GM: Why?

 

CS: I couldn’t say anything bad about you, Goddess. You are so beautiful…so beautiful…If I could kiss you…

 

GM: We can talk about that later…And about Mistress Xenandra. For now, turn off your tape recorder.

 

[Recording ends abruptly]
