Reducing all of your inhibitions and increasing your hypnotic sexual arousal are the most common goals of erotic hypnosis. Erotic hypnosis is used within the submissive and dominant relationship, it forms part of erotic power exchange. One person willingly surrenders their will to another in exchange for hypnotic sexual pleasure and a possible emotional bond. The rush, the thrill, the bonding process is incredibly powerful. Hypnosis enhances the feelings of submission to the point where a submissive can actually feel a dominant's control moving their body or influencing their thoughts, stepping into their minds. This creates an intense feeling of belonging and intimacy.

Personality transformations are another common fantasy. People often fantasize about being freed from responsibilities or inhibitions and transformed into possibly a cross dresser or transvestite who can freely enjoy the sexual pleasures they imagine or read about. The transformed personality might be a sissy maid, cross dresser, a slave or even an hypnosis erotic lover.
