Hypnoboobs

[Rapscallion]

I mentioned in chat last night about my plans - next week I'm going to start a somewhat expensive course of hypnotherapy to try and curb my apparent desire to eat everything in sight.

*nomnomnom*

I've got a personal recommendation from a colleague about a service he's used, and they're relatively local, so I'm going to try them and my first appointment is Monday night.

I did some browsing on their site whilst emailing them when I came across a pretty bold claim.

Breast enlargement. Through hypnosis.

What?

Apparently there is an effect from it, non surgical etc. Part of me wants to see their evidence, and part of me hopes they use the correct therapy on me.

The title is courtest of chat last night. It seemed appropriate to borrow it.

Thank you Raps. Now I see the Hypnotoad with a rack in a red dress.

Yes there is something very very wrong with me. i blame beer.

I've been told that I have "Epic Boobs" (tm)

I have also been told that my boobs are mesmerizing... esp when I get to bouncing/dancing and they move (no tassel twirling for me thank you)


that is more what I would expect for "Hypno-boobs"...
but "breast augmentation through hypnosis"..... call me skeptic, but somehow, I just don't think so....

as I said in chat, I think it's really -

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOBOOBS

but "breast augmentation through hypnosis"..... call me skeptic, but somehow, I just don't think so....

You really have to ask that?

Well, I did get a spam email once that promised "male enlargement using only your hands!"

Which....is pretty much how I already figured it worked...

My poor brain went right to the gutter... part way through reading, I was expecting the punchline to be Raps complaining of accidentally going *Om Nom Nom* to a random nice pair of boobs, thanks to hypnotic suggestion.

Penn & Teller did a bit on that, actually. It does nothing at all. Sweet fanny adams. Bupkiss. Nyet. Nada. Niks.

See, what you do is, you get surgery on your hands to make them smaller. Your penis appears much larger in comparison to your now-tiny hands!

The boobs or the eating thing? Because, y'know, I don't mind double checking their evidence...

I participated in a hypnosis session in Psychology back in college. I can confirm that hypnotic suggestion is real, though it's not like the idea people have of someone making them cluck like a chicken. I was given a suggestion that there was a helium-filled balloon tied to my wrist and my arm floated up and it really felt like there was a balloon lifting it.

But...

Seriously, if you could will yourself or otherwise grow boobs with your mind, I'd have had a LOT of explaining to do back in middle school/high school.

Personally, I'd prefer the power to will other people to grow boobs with my mind.
