People looking to be mindless puppets/slaves: Why?

[keybounce]

I'm trying to understand this. Why do people want to be mindless puppets under hypnosis?

It's not just the size of the slave email thread. It's other threads as well.

I'm trying to understand: what is it that you are looking for? Why do you think that being mindless is the answer?

I can understand deep relaxation to the point of a blank mind.
I can understand the whole mediation idea of no thoughts.

I can even understand the point of just being a child, being cared for, just emotions and no thoughts (thank you Jackstock for that one).

But the difference between giving an overthinking brain a break, and being someone else's puppet/slave/zombie/etc?

Can someone explain the attraction?

Everyone has different *deep* reasons. And honestly, only some people understand what those reasons are... Many are exploring this kink exactly bc they don't quite know why yet. Many people get into a kink without even realizing there IS a reason for it.

For me - it can be traced back to a deep alienation from other people when I first tried to make someone happy and did it wrong. It set up this negative experience where now I didn't trust myself to make the right decisions about how to make someone else happy - so a part of me just wishes that I didn't have to make those decisions: let me be a blank mindless slave for you so at the very least I know you're happy. The reason it has to stay a fantasy is twofold - because that other person is not always going to know 100% of the time, what will make themselves happy; and because (as much as we might be convinced otherwise), our own happiness matters too and if we can't express or obtain what we need at the basic levels of food, security, and comfort, we're going to at least become very depressed.
