Prologue

The Brit introduced himself to me on HypnosisForGuys.com in late 2014 or early 2015. We clicked as internet friends and talked about recreational hypnosis, our lives, and the world at large using HypnosisForGuys messages and later by email. At that time we were both seeking hypnosis experience as subjects.

We met in person at the 2016 New England Erotic Hypnosis Unconvention (NEEHU) in Hartford, Connecticut, USA. We stayed in separate hotel rooms but ate meals together and took a shower together (very enjoyable).

The Brit enjoyed the hypnocon very, very much but it left me cold. I was offended by the homophobia and the organizers breaking their own rules. Afterwards the Brit and I continued our online friendship and included phone calls and video Skype.

The Brit enthusiastically pursued training to become a hypnotist. He has a talent for it, a seductive barritone voice, and the right imagination and erotic sensibility. He's the best and most effective hypnotist I have worked or played with.

In 2018 I was living in a large arrid desert city. The Brit would be attending a popular hypnocon in the US Great Lakes region and said he wanted to visit me after the hypnocon before returning to the UK. We made our plans to meet in person for the second time.

Two weeks to fly! And I have a [Redacted] guide book now! I think I get them more for the maps and mementos than as an actual guide tbh ...

I'm feeling like a fraud though as I'm probably less muscular than last time you saw me, and the intention was very much that I'd have grown since then ;) Had my own bad few times and progress stalled then slipped then recovered then slipped etc. It really is that everybody wants the magic routine or supplement, but just keeping at working out is the obvious route to growing big that nobody wants to hear ...

So here's a picture of me in a too tight shirt from the end of 2016 when I looked a little better. The small child is my nephew, who has some scary similarities to me and may also be the devil - I try not to think of those things together.

See you in three weeks!

There is a marketing thing of some hypnosis prompt cards where you it pay shipping - pretty sure at that price it will only go to the USA though. I quite fancy it so was wondering if I could get them delivered to your address? You can be the first to experience their awesome powers!

Yes!

Also, I'd like to send you a key to my apartment in case we're not able to connect in a timely manner when your flight arrives. What is the best way to send it? US Postal Service? UPS? FedEx? DHL? To your home or work address?

Hugs,

Thank you!

I don't actually know what the best way to send it is - I guess anything that will arrive in a week (last day for delivery would be Tuesday 10th as I fly on Wednesday). Delivery to work would be better

Thank you for being so thoughtful

Brit,

I'll send a key to your workplace and I'll also find a good place to hide one for you at my apartment complex. Magnetic key cases are a wonderful thing.

Hugs,

Brit,

I checked what it would cost to send you an apartment key via the US Postal Service. $50.50.

No, really.

Apparently a key is metal and they can't send anything metal to another country in a regular paper envelope. So a "first class" letter for $1.50 is out of the question. So is a flat cardboard mailer because its dimensions exceed "first class" letter limits.

Which brings us to the next service level, "priority mail". 5 to 7 days which is faster than "first class", but the cheapest international service is their flat-rate box. And those start at $50.50.

I'll be putting your key in a magnetic case stuck to the inside of my porch lamp. No one ever looks upward so no one will notice.

Hugs,

Yank

Hmm, I think we only claim to have size and weight limits but thinking about it I probably can't put uranium on a postcard.

I shall look up upon arrival!
