I’ve heard of subliminals working to alter your cis-culmination and I’ve seen them used in the RQ community a little bit, but I’m still a bit skeptical. Are there any papers on the effects? What can I expect from a subliminal? And, most importantly, is anyone willing to make one for me if I end up gaining faith in the idea?
The only thing real about anything of this nature is that if you spend lots of time obsessing over an idea, you’re more likely to get over whatever makes you not do something about it. Hypnosis is just guided meditation, so you’re literally just meditating on your desire.
With that in mind, I don’t think subliminals will do anything because they don’t actually do anything for anything else, either. It almost works as an advertising nudge, that’s about it. Since one of the main ways of trying to do it is a rapidly vanishing message, I feel like the main impact of this on society will be somebody doing it wrong and causing seizures.
