A Possible Solution

So ... if the files I want to work aren't working any longer, what do I do?

I start thinking.  Now, when I think, it's not your garden variety "thinking".  It's much more than a meta-analysis of what happened.

I started at the beginning, which is always a good place to start.  What was contained in that first Jock file -- TrainTotalJock (TTJ1) -- that got its hooks in me so deeply after one listening?  Well, after listening to the file for so many times -- it was the only file of its kind that I knew about for about a year -- I can more or less break it down into its component parts.

There are the "you love to look the part" suggestions.  Although I buy an occasional tee-shirt and jeans, that isn't a major hook for me.  I quit going to church and never had any great desire to be a fashion plate, especially with the extremely limited areas in a small town to show off how great I look. Showing up at the local part-time gay bar in Armani would not work.  I don't think that's the dress code ... and I am not spending limited cash to get leather gear. As much as I like leather, the opportunities to wear it around here are ... limited.  Besides, I don't drink. Having a father who owns a bar-restaurant and hearing the latest stupid drunk story at the supper table for years on end is not conducive to wanting to drink to excess and become an idiot.

Going out on the town to pick up total strangers for sex is anathema to me. Besides being an introvert, I want to know much more about my "conquests" than their bra size.  In my case, that would need to be changed to cock size; I'm gay.  TTJ1 file never mentions sexual orientation.  The follow-up file to TTJ1, TTJ2, which EMG nicknamed "Train Fratboy" in the introduction, contains about five minutes of suggestions about going out to party.  While partying, you know you are able to pick up any female because you are just so damned hot and sexy.  All you need to do is beckon to them and they eagerly come like a loyal dog to get a treat, your bone(r). Getting someone drunk, taking them somewhere, and raping a boozed-up unconscious female is not my style.  I'm not that kind of dude.

Somebody re-mastered TTJ2 for gay guys and straight guys with morals by removing that specific five minutes of suggestions.  They labeled the file with the obnoxious material removed TTJ2-NoStr8. Everybody knew the "-NoStr8" suffix meant that the undesirable material as gone.

Then there were the "play sports" and "watch sports" suggestions.  Well, I watched some sports, but I was never a rabid fan of any of them.  I never developed a desire to play any sport or lift weights, or even attend local sporting events, like the local hockey team or the high school wrestling teams.
So that was a bust.  I had attended the local hockey team's games for several seasons.  Then they raised to ticket prices so much that going to the games became unaffordable.

Now we're getting down to some throwaway phrases that were inserted as filler.  EMG only mentioned "getting dumber" in one phrase of one sentence.  The sentence goes something like this:  "If you want, your intelligence will decrease."

If I had to choose one part that was causing the files to be ineffective, it would probably be the beer-drinking suggestions.  Though I detest the taste of beer, I do like some wines.  My subconscious is easily competent enough to switch "beer" for "alcoholic beverage" or "wine", so that's not really a good choice.   A good Zinfandel or Reisling is marvelous.  I brewed my own mead (honey wine) at one time.  I just don't drink that much. A glass of wine will last me a long time.  The time between glasses of wine can be measured in years.

I never did figure out what the objectionable suggestions were.  That means that I could not rewrite somebody's jock file to eliminate the objectionable parts ... because I didn't know what the objectionable parts were.

I needed to find out if it was all hypnosis files or just a specific type of file -- the files that turned people into jocks -- was the problem.  So I had to find some files that I was interested in listening to that were not jock files.
