According to the Telegraph.co.uk, police in the UK are being “encouraged” to participate in a hypnosis course that will teach, among other things, an introduction to electroencephalograms (EEGs).

EEG is the recording of electrical activity in the brain gathered by placing sensors on the scalp which monitor ‘neuron activity’ – which cops believe can help ‘encourage’ suspects and witnesses to tell the truth.

How can this be legal?  Is this different than a lie detector test?

Apparently proponents feel this is the next “logical step” when standard methods of interrogation have failed.

“Putting people in a receptive brainwave state makes it likelier that the truth would come out.

“Forensic hypnosis is a scientific approach as helmets monitor brain activity and anyone who is lying would have wide-awake brainwave patterns.

“Forensic hypnosis does not prove guilt but it can give new lines of enquiry when traditional methods have failed.

How can information garnered in this way be credible or permissible for presentation to the court? If someone is in a hypnotized state, they are by definition easily led. Consider all the reports of inaccurate and completely fabricated “recovered memories”.  Is there any way to prove the results gathered via hypnotic interrogation are factual?

When interviewing suspected child abuse victims, we were required to be extraordinarily careful not to ask any leading questions whatsoever as doing so could result in the children being guided to provide inaccurate information. Wouldn’t this be the same sort of case?

Perhaps the trial laws in the UK are vastly different from the US. I can’t see use of this technique or information garnered from it ever standing up in a US court.

Your thoughts?

For many of you this activity is at an end, for some the end is nearing.  After a couple of days have passed I would like for you to share your thoughts and feelings about your time of obedience and service.

What did you like about the “Pleasing Feels So Very Good” activity?  Was this as exciting for you as say, tease and denial?  If you had a choice, which would you choose:  T&D or service related activities?  (No, that’s not a trick question – there is no wrong answer ;)  What, if any, impact did this have on your views and feelings about submission and service?

There are two reasons I sometimes focus on service:

Anyone who puts forth the effort to dominate their partner deserves to have their needs met as well.   I’ve seldom met a woman that didn’t love to experience that special feeling of her man doing something for her for

no.

reason.

at.

all.

other than as an outlet for and an expression of his devotion to her.

And… some fellas forget it isn’t all about them and their penises :)

I’m really impressed with those of you who have been obedient to my requests regarding this activity.  Your eagerness to serve, both total strangers and someone you know, has been very touching.

For your last day, I would like you to follow the same instructions as Day Three with one exception.  On Day Four you will spend thirty minutes doing one of these things specifically for me (rather than someone you know personally):

• Surf the internet reading or looking at whatever you wish for 30 minutes, all while teasing yourself.  At the end of that time, you may release.
• Surf the internet for 30 minutes, looking for photos of men kneeling, male tushes, or males completing tasks for a lady.  Send the links to these photos to me.  (No photos of penises, please.)
• Spend thirty minutes thinking about and writing about simple things Ladies could do to men to demonstrate or reinforce their control.  Send the list to me.
• Listen to Kidnapped by a Domme:  The Climax.  At the end of the MP3 (or during),  you may release. (Omit listening to the Surrender MP3s if you select this option.)

If you make a choice that does not mention touching yourself or releasing, you may not touch or release at all on Day Four.

Leave a comment and tell me about your last day. Make certain you let me know which option you selected and why. Be honest with yourself about your “why”. I know you’ll be honest with me :)

For day three, you will follow the instructions for day two with one exception:  instead of choosing a random lady as the recipient of your service, you will select someone you know.  This will be a planned act and it will take at least thirty minutes of your time.

Tell me.. has listening to the Surrender MP3s affected how you feel about your tasks?  Do you feel better doing these things at my direction than you would if I were not involved?

How very impressed I am by your posts and the feeling behind them.

You agreed to surrender to an activity that you knew would not overtly press your sexual buttons. Yes, I know service might excite you, but I suspect not as strongly as other activities I could have selected. By making this choice you stand as fine examples of men who see that submission is not a selfish act.

It’s wonderful to have your sexual buttons pushed and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s something everyone deserves when, and if, the time is right. But there is so much more to truly surrendering, isn’t there? You see it, you feel it – that warmth and pride filling you when you focus on the desires and needs of a Lady.

And… I suspect as you pause to reflect you are a bit aroused by your obedience. After all, a woman you do not know is controlling some of your daily activities… she has you on your knees, she has you focusing on serving. It’s understandable that you would be excited when thinking of the ease in which she reached out, gently stroked your mind, and persuaded you to comply with her will.

You may even be finding there’s a pleasant, whispering refrain caressing your mind. “You’re such a good boy… so very pleasing.”

With a soft, gentle smile,
Lady Julia

Day Two’s instructions are a repeat of the previous day with two exceptions.

First, after listening to Surrender I, listen to Surrender II.

Second, choose a different lady to please on day two. Consider: does the change in the recipient of your service effect how you feel about the act? If so, how?

Be sure and listen to the instructions *very* carefully as paying attention to detail and following through is crucial to submission. If you comply with only a portion of my instructions, have you actually complied?

I know I said I might modify things here as the day passes, but I am awaiting reports for you :) That’s how I decide what I wish to do next (just as I would temper my response if we were doing this in person).

Pleasing Feels So Very Good – Further Instructions for Day One

The above recording contains your instructions for tomorrow. If you can’t listen til you awaken in the morning, that’s ok.

The following have completed all the requirements to begin: John, Jason, and Jay.

If your name isn’t here, re-read the instructions and see what’s missing. If you’ve completely complied, respectfully tell me that. If you haven’t, then do so by the end of today or you will be required to wait a day.

~ Lady Julia

I’ve recorded some additional instructions for you. Please listen carefully as I expect you to be attentive to *all* my directions, not just the ones that excite you ;)

Pleasing Feels So Very Good – First Recorded Instructions

You may want to go back and re-read yesterday’s instructions to make certain you have completed all the tasks listed there.

Hope you are looking forward to this as much as I am :)

~ Lady Julia

P.S. I’m a bit croaky as it’s the middle of the night and I have a bit of a cold. I’m sure you will be happy to overlook that ;)

On Wednesday I will begin an activity with some of you that will span several days.  If you are planning on participating in the “Queen of Hearts” activity, you’ll need to complete this one first.  I’ll accept the delay :)

For this activity you will need a small piece of soft, red cloth.  You may obtain this cloth in several ways.  You might purchase a fabric remnant or a small piece from a bolt at a fabric store.  You may find something in your home that is soft and red (of course, you’ll need only a small square so you’ll have to cut it).  You may purchase a soft red item from a second hand store and cut a piece from it.  Or – you may come up with some idea of your own :)

This piece of cloth should be large enough that you can hold it in both hands while stroking its softness.  It needs to be small enough that you can carry it somewhere on your person or in a briefcase.  Think handkerchief size or a little smaller.

If you cannot obtain this piece of cloth by Wednesday, you may request a delay.

You will also need the first and second Surrender MP3s so if you do not have them, you will need to contact me.  If you have not yet met the requirement of accessing these MP3s, I will need to know why.  I may grant you an exception, I may not.  It depends on your explanation and my feeling of benevolence ;)

This activity will center of service.  Before we begin, I’d like to hear from you (in the comment section) – what does service in a D/s manner mean to you?

I’m excited about doing this particular activity so I hope you are as well.
