That's one of the reasons this stuff is so much fun -- you can't believe how radically you can be changed until you actually try it. Though I'd emphasize the "can," people lie on a continuum of hypnotic suggestibility, from those who can't go under at all (some guys here have been trying for years) to those who are extremely suggestible. With most of us I think somewhere in-between.
Whether you'll obey the suggestion in a given file depends on a lot of other factors, too. It's easier to hypnotize someone into doing something that they want than something to which they're opposed. At some extreme ("you will kill your grandfather"), you can't even get them to accept the suggestion, they'll just pop out of trance. If the objection is milder, I've found that you'll reject it at first, either during the session or when the suggestion attempts to exert itself, but gradually succumb with repeated listening. So for example the fem files can easily hypnotize me into behaving fem when no one is around, but I find I suppress it when someone is, even though I have the urge. While those who have listened to them longer than I have (I've mostly resisted listening to Stroke Sissy, I think I've probably heard it only five or six times) say that eventually that resistance goes away.
Anyway, that's part of the fun, pitting yourself against the file, and part of the fun is discovering that you suddenly love something you used to be indifferent to. And even being able to turn it on and off, I'd tried cross dressing a couple of times over the years but it did nothing for me, then all the fem files made me crazy about it, then I listened to Deprogram All and another file to undo the fem files, and now I'm indifferent to it again. Not only have I had fun with this stuff, I'm starting to apply what I've learned to my life, hypnotizing away bad habits like procrastination that I've struggled with for years.
Finally -- I think one of the things Stroke Sissy and Forced Gay taught me is how much of what we consider good and bad just comes from inside, from how we've been made to feel about something. That if you've been made to be ashamed about or dislike something, that shame and dislike are coming from inside your head, and can be made to go away, leaving you free to enjoy things you couldn't before. More and more, what I ask myself now is whether my objection to something (or fondness for it) is a result of objective consequences, or is just an internalization of pressure and prejudice. So I can say, "OK, I'm not going to keep listening to Stroke Sissy because let's face it, I'm middle aged and there's no way I can compete with those cute 20-year-olds," but I can also say "Hey, if someone I like wants me to be their sissy slave I'm great with it, I'll just put on these headphones and be into it again."
