Help me get the Jock thing?
Posted: January 24th, 2012, 8:15 pm
Hi,
I'm trying to tease apart the "I wanna be a dumb jock" fetish a bit on my tumblr blog and I'd love some feedback from people who have this particular thing going on.
A poster I spoke to earlier says he can't get to Tumblr, so I'm pasting the text of what I've written so far here to make it easier to comment on, if you have the time and inclination.
The original post is here.
The Jock Thing
A surprising number of guys on the hypno scene are interested in using hypnosis (or other forms of mind control) to have themselves transformed into a stereotypical jock. Some of these guys seem to skinny, nerdy guys, some seem to be on the chubby side and some, confusingly enough, seem to look pretty athletic. Most seem to be gay, but it’s not a universal.
I’m pretty interested in the dimensions of this, what’s involved and how one might go about doing it, so I thought I’d start making a few notes.
The elements of jock-ish-ness seem to be:
For some guys, it’s a way of creating a new persona around their desire to get fit. They can’t accomodate fitness in their current self image, so they want a new one.
For some guys, it’s a way to transform into the guys who teased them or made life hell in high school and/or turn into one of the guys they had a constant hard-on for in high school.
For some guys, the fantasy of getting dumber is really alluring. This one might seem surprising, but a lot of intelligent guys find their active mind a burden. They have a fantasy of just working a manual job, working out, drinking beers and getting tail. The simple life.
In some ways, it might seem surprising that all these desires coalesce around the image of the arrogant douchebag from high school until you look around and notice how it seems that those guys continue to appear as icons of success in daily life (not the actual guys, but jocks in general). Several unintellectual high school tormentors can be seen on the receiving end of the adoring howls of a stadium of thousands on any given Sunday.
So, I guess that’s a sketch of the “why” - though I’m pretending that’s exhaustive and I invite thoughts and feedback from you, gentle reader, in the comments.
Next, my thoughts turn to “how”. How might someone turn into a jock. This I think is a more delicate operation than the fantasy content might suggest and I doubt a direct, frontal assault on the current personality is the way to go. I’m going to explore this in a future post, but to my mind, the key issues are slightly distinct from the focus of the fantasy. More soon.

The elements of jock-ish-ness seem to be:
* hot body, obsessed with working out and showing it off
* wears sports gear
* gets a lot of sex
* plays sports, watches sports
* dumb as a box of hair
* cocky, arrogant
