But I&#8217;ve got       this silly thing about not shagging people I work. Not that Carla and I       work together, of course. Not yet, anyway. She&#8217;s a production manager at a       company that makes tv shows, and they&#8217;re looking for a director. The       producers liked my cv, and now they want to see some of the episodes of       GO_OPEN, the show I&#8217;ve been directing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s supposed to be a brunch, but       we&#8217;ve been chatting for ages, and it&#8217;s already getting way past lunch, and       well into late afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>We talk about polyamory and bondage and all       sorts of things. &#8220;Oh,&#8221; I say, &#8220;before I forget, are you       interested in being a beta tester in a self-hypnosis program I&#8217;ve       developed?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well,&#8221; she says, &#8220;I&#8217;m VERY suggestible,       so hypnosis works well for me. What&#8217;s the program?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a       set of scripts that allow you to have an orgasm on command.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I pull       a sheaf of papers out of my Exclusive Books packet. Neatly stapled. Ten       pages. A few penciled corrections in the margins. I hand them to her, and       she scans the first few paragraphs.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I&#8217;ve broken the task down       into three distinct phases. Firstly, the self-hypnosis scripts set up an       association between a key phrase and orgasm. This involves lots of       self-manipulation and moaning and dilated nostrils. The next phase       associates the phrase with sex. And the third phase allows the phrase to       induce orgasm without any sexual context at all.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine sitting with       your lust-partner in a restaurant. A waiter arrives to take the order.       Your partner is about to say something, but you interrupt. &#8220;Huge red       carnation,&#8221; you say, and the waiter has no idea what you&#8217;re talking       about. Your partner, however, gets red cheeks, starts wriggling, hands       start sweating, starts gasping, moans. Orgasm has just been reached with       no effort! <\/p>\n<p>And the waiter is still none the wiser.<\/p>\n<p>Another buddy       of mine is highly excited. He reckons this is megabucks for me. Figures       I&#8217;ll be able to revolutionise sexual liberation. Hmmm. Maybe I&#8217;ll have to       compile it into a classy e-Book, and sell it to people. But it&#8217;s still in       beta testing, so it&#8217;s not for sale yet. Watch this site. Hehehehehhe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Email       this to me immediately!!!&#8221; says Carla.       <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
