I get asked quite often what resources I can recommend for people seeking to learn. However when I was learning I didn't really use any, just trial and error. So I've asked the hypno community to give recommendations for you guys. I'll be sure to occasionally update it if there are new additions!
Books
The Brainwashing Book by Sleepingirl
From Amazon: “Brainwashing” is a concept that titillates and mystifies—it implies an intense kind of control over another person and surrender of will. Within the context of erotic hypnosis, it might be considered a sort of holy grail to some, but what does it mean to achieve this in an ethical, effective, and mutually enjoyable way?
In “The Brainwashing Book,” we’ll explore a model that teaches and takes advantage of well-researched psychological principles and intermediate-to-advanced hypnosis skills in order to pursue this fun, hot form of play—and find how it can improve your trancing as a whole.
Mind Play by Mark Wiseman
From Amazon: All kinds of people are secretly (or not so secretly) fascinated by the erotic possibilities of hypnosis. Many of us know that hypnosis doesn't really have the kind of mind-melting power we see in movies. Still, we can't help but get turned on at the thought of either controlling someone, or being controlled by someone, into doing things we've been told we shouldn't do ... but really, inside, kind of want to.

Create or intensify arousal and desire

Get kinky with hypnotic bondage, flogging, or tickling

Kinky NLP by Sleepingirl
From Amazon: Within the world of erotic hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming has a reputation for being pseudoscientific, hard to understand, and ethically questionable. But it also is deeply intertwined with our culture, history, and current practice as hypnotists. Where did it come from? Are there any salvageable techniques? How can it be useful for hypnokink specifically? And most importantly: What, actually, is it?!
“Kinky NLP” moves to answer these questions (and more) and is suitable for hypnokink practitioners across experience levels. We will explore a framework for NLP that is explicitly focused on effective, realistic hypnosis between intimate partners. Jump in, learn to level-up your trancing, and enjoy!
