Thanks for sharing your success story :)
I was looking for a file to play with while I get used to new editing software. The comments you made in your journal sounded interesting, so I tried editing this file in the way you suggested.
When listening through to try and find any glitches in the sound (particularly where I joined bits together), I found myself following the words quite closely. I figured its only natural to feel a bit light-headed with the binaurals on, I'm only listening for errors in the file so I won't actually wet myself. When he started the countdown, I realised I really did need to pee quite bad, so I decided to stop the file before it got to the trigger just in case.
"5" he says, and I reach for the keyboard. I'm a bit curious whether the file is actually making my bladder feel full, or if its just because I've been drinking too much coffee while I was editing it.
"4" I figured I may as well wait until 2, and try to analyse whether the feeling grows with each number, to satisfy my curiosity
"3" I think I do need to pee a bit more than a few seconds ago. This is a great sign, shows my subconscious is listening to the file. Maybe my binaural's latest edit is even more effective. Congratulating myself, I decide to stop the file, go to the bathroom, and then have a drink to celebrate
"2" I have my finger on the stop button, but pause for a second. The file has effected me enough that I feel some pressure in my bladder, but I'm clearly awake and moving now, so I might as well let it reach 1 - a convenient place to pause my error checking - before I get up.
"1" My need to pee jumps from 'quite strong' to 'the strongest I ever felt' in an instant. I immediately panic, sure that I'm going to wet myself as soon as he says the trigger phrase. I try to press the stop button in the pause between the number and the words, muttering "No, no" under my breath, but my finger just doesn't move. I jump up and run for the bathroom, I'm so desparate now, but just as I reach the door I hear the word "now" and I simply can't hold it in any longer.
I must admit, this isn't one of the files I'd put at the top of my list of things I'd like to try. But with a bit of editing, and with aroofa's suggestions on what to edit, I couldn't have asked for a more conclusive demonstration that the files work.
Thanks for sharing your story
And thanks for the hints which led me to mine :)
