Type of pornography
Sissy hypno is a form of pornography which purports to hypnotically persuade the person into self-feminization.
A 2023 study in Sexuality & Culture found that such content is viewed by cisgender men, as well as transgender women who may use the media "as a tool of sexual identity affirmation and further sexual exploration."[1] It usually consists of edited clips taken from heterosexual and transgender pornography, typically overlaid with instructions that use tropes from commercial film depictions of hypnosis, or from stage hypnosis. Sissy hypno has been described as a form of "microporn" as defined by Helen Hester, Bethan Jones and Sarah Taylor-Harman, a label originally used for short GIFs shared in online communities.[2][3] However, sissy hypno differs from the archetypal GIF format of microporn by its length and complexity.[4] The suggestive feature of the media, whether its a video or image, or background audio, is sometimes delivered via text-based captions. These captions are embedded into the media and they usually contain suggestive and instructive messages.[1]
Another article in Transgender Studies Quarterly found that for transgender women, these videos "create space for viewers to experiment with gendered embodiment through imagining a future-oriented transformation into a trans* subject."[2]
