Hormonal regression

[mistermano]

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now, and I think the idea matured enough for me to share it.

Basically, what I thought of was a file that would make your brain think that your body iss 12-13 years old for 1 year, before going back to your normal age. You'll ask "What for?", and I answer: growing up.

I mean, literally growing up a few inches more. Sure, a person grows at a much faster rate when he's much younger, but it's only during puberty that sexual hormones are liberated at a higher rate, so I think 13 would be the ideal age for this.

So, there are 2 main goals: growing taller and more sexual development (usually, that translates into a bigger penis on men and a more curvy body on women).

I'd like to know what you people think about this idea: pros and cons you might think of.
If enough people are interested, we might as well make this a real study on how much hypnosis can directly influence the body.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Sure, there could be potential for some of these ideas.

However, height growth is probably out of the question - look up epiphyseal plates (colloquially known as growth plates). Those seal up permanently at the end of puberty, so hypnotic height increases are probably mostly impossible, outside possibly stretching some muscles and improving posture.

Didn't know about that one of the bones. Guess trying to hypnotically make the ossified cells stretch is waaaay far-fetched :P

Still, I'm willing to try this, the 0.0000001% chance of still growing up a bit (i'm almost 22yo) is worth the risks for me, as hormone imbalances can cause complications, but if we can increase the levels, we can also normalize it back.

The study part shouldn't be too hard, as it would consist mostly of diaries and weekly or monthly measurements of the body of each participant.

I think using the metric system for body measures would be better, as it has a higher precision than the imperial

I would be up for it if the file is made. This is the most realistic way of attaining these effects that I have heard of so far.

sounds like a awesome file idea

OK "growth plates" aren't going to start back up.

In the beginning, there are huge gaps between the bones, and your body fills them in. This hand is like 2 years old or so.

Here's like ten years old. See how each of the finger bones has a clear cap on the end. That's a growth plate.

Once you are about 20 there is no more growth plate because the bone has filled it all in.

But it sure would be nice to have all those youthfull hormones in your body.
Oh, I know about bones because I'm an xray tech. So I have a slightly better than average understanding about them, but I'm not a specialist.

AHH! MY HEAD! Waaaay too much info up there, buddy. I tend to come on this site at 2:00 AM after college classes, so while this headache may be what I deserve, it is NOT what I need right now!

Back to the topic, I think it would be a fun transformation to experience through hypnosis. The only way we're going to know if works is if someone makes it and we try it.
