Carole sometimes hypnotizes her willing husband Dan, suggesting that he become even easier to hypnotize and more unthinkingly obedient each time.

Carole’s friend Emma has recently moved house and has a lot of work to do. Carole arranges to ‘lend’ Dan to Emma for the day, and the two of them head over to Emma’s mid-morning. Emma is a fat woman in her thirties wearing sweatpants and flip-flops (her red toenails are quite chipped). Carole then quickly and easily drops Dan into trance right there in Emma’s living room.

“You’re going to obey Emma’s every command, Dan. That’s right. All you want to do is obey Emma until I come back to collect you this evening.”

“Yes, Carole,” says Dan dully.
