Need2Obey

a fetish social in Amsterdam, for men who are into hypnosis

location:
Eagle Amsterdam
Warmoesstraat 90, 1012 JH Amsterdam
date:

Need2Obey is a recurring fetish social for guys who are into power exchange, especially using erotic hypnosis. Get to know others who are into the same thing as you: control, domination, submission, and a good mind-fuck. Learn about hypnosis, and how you can use it as a tool for erotic control and pleasure.

  • What is Need2Obey?

    It's a social event for people into power exchange, especially erotic hypnosis.

  • What is erotic hypnosis?

    A lot of BDSM play involves the dominant physically controlling the submissive: restraining his body with ropes or chains, applying force if he disobeys. Erotic hypnosis is like BDSM, but on a mental level: using hypnotic suggestions and commands to restrain and control the submissive, so that he is compelled to do as he is told. You can even cause sensations of pain or pleasure without using physical interactions! (Although physical interactions can make the experience even more intense...)

  • Is hypnosis safe?

    Hypnosis is extremely safe; it cannot force anyone to do anything that they are not comfortable with doing. If you are hypnotized, you can take control of your own mind any time that you want or need to. You can also come out of a hypnotic trance at any time you want.

    Hypnosis can definitely reduce inhibitions, or remove them entirely. If you have certain curiosities or fantasies that you normally keep tightly locked away in your mind, you might find that being hypnotized allows you to explore and experience those fantasies. You might find yourself doing things that you would have never dreamed you could do, because you are normally too shy, too afraid of what others might think of you. It can be confronting and embarrassing to come out of a hypnotic trance and realize what the hypnotist “made” you do.

    But there's a big difference between being “made” to do something that you wanted to try, and being forced to do something that you genuinely don't want to do. The first option is possible with hypnosis; the second option is not.

  • I've never been hypnotized before, is that OK?

    Of course! There will be a good mix of experienced and inexperienced people at the event. If you don't know much about hypnosis and you want to learn, this is a great opportunity to ask questions. If you're comfortable with it, you could even try getting hypnotized; or try hypnotizing someone else! It's a safe and friendly environment to explore something new.

  • Will any hypnosis happen at Need2Obey?

    Probably! There will be a few hypnotists and plenty of subjects, so there will be lots of opportunities for hypnosis sessions. If you want to hypnotize someone, or to be hypnotized, just ask!

    As with many other fetish communities, the erotic hypnosis community has an imbalance in roles: there are always more people who want to be hypnotized, than there are people who want to hypnotize others! (Just like there are always more submissives than dominants, more bottoms than tops, and so on.)

  • Is it possible for a dominant person to be hypnotized, or a submissive person to hypnotize others?

    Definitely! Flipping the script can be a lot of fun. It's possible to use hypnosis to help someone to be more dominant and devious in sexual situations, and you can even hypnotize others to “make” them dominate you in the ways you want!

  • Will anything sexual happen at Need2Obey?

    Possibly, but only in a specific area of the event. If you do not want to see or be around sexual activity, you can stay out of that area.

    Eagle Amsterdam is split into three areas: ground floor, upstairs, and underground. Socializing and flirting is allowed everywhere, but the underground area is the darkroom, where sexual activity is allowed. Most people at Need2Obey will be on the ground floor and upstairs, available for conversation and non-sexual hypnosis sessions. (Note that non-sexual nudity is allowed everywhere, as well: you may see some genitals! Being naked is not inherently sexual, and we allow social nudity.)

    If you are interested in doing something more sexual, you may do so — but only underground. It's easy to switch from one space to another, and you may do so as many times as you want to. Not everyone at this event wants to be around sexual activity, so if you start getting sexual, please head downstairs.

    If you choose to engage in penetrative sex, note that Eagle Amsterdam offers free condoms at the bar. We suggest that you discuss safe sex pratices with your partner, ideally before any play that leads in that direction. If things go there unexpectedly, you can and should bring yourself out of a trance headspace, so that you can discuss this before proceeding.

  • I've never been in a darkroom. How should I behave?

    This is a big topic, and there are plenty of resources on the internet that can help answer this question more completely. As a brief overview: sexual advances (including touches) are expected, but consent is respected. If someone indicates they want to play with you and you are not interested in doing so, politely but firmly tell them no, and move their hand away if necessary. If you do want to play with them: have fun!

    We recommend listening to the “Beginner's Bathhouse Guide” episode of the Kinkyboys Podcast to get more information. It's not quite the same topic, but it's very similar; and HairyHypnotist is the guest for this episode, so you can hear his voice and his perspective.

  • Is Need2Obey a private event?

    Yes; this ensures that everyone at the event is there because they are interested in erotic hypnosis, or because they want to be around people who are interested in erotic hypnosis. It also means that you must buy a ticket to enter the event, rather than just walking in off the street.

    Previous editions of Need2Obey were open to the public, but we found that there wasn't much social interaction between the people who were there specifically for Need2Obey, and the people who were at the bar without knowing about the event. As a result, we're switching to a closed, private event format.

  • Will this event happen again?

    Yes! We intend to run this social event once every three or four months, and to form a stable, friendly community of people who are interested in erotic hypnosis. The following Need2Obey social will be on Sunday, August 23, 2026.

  • What does it cost to attend Need2Obey?

    Tickets cost €15 per person, and attendees must buy at least two drinks at the bar as well. (They do not need to be alcoholic; you may buy water or soft drinks if you want.) You can buy tickets at the door, and soon you will be able to buy them online as well: we're still working on the online ticket shop!

  • What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

    There's no dress code, so you may wear whatever you want. This is a social event, not a play party, so comfortable street clothing is perfectly acceptable. Bonus points if you wear a hypnosis-themed T-shirt!

    That said, if you want to wear something more eye-catching, or go naked, you're welcome to do so! Eagle Amsterdam even has a coat check, so you don't have to carry the clothes you don't want to wear. There is a small fee to use the coat check, and there is no dedicated changing area. Full nudity is allowed inside the venue, so you may change your clothes wherever you want.

    You may see others dressed (or undressed) in ways that you don't expect. We're all adults here, so please accept the clothing choices of others. (If they are following a hypnotic suggestion, they may not even be aware of what they're wearing!)

  • Is Need2Obey only for men? Can I attend this event if I'm not a man?

    The intended audience for this event is primarily men who are interested in men. However, we do welcome all genders and sexualities.

    Eagle Amsterdam is a queer fetish club that caters primarily to men, but this private event is specifically open to all genders. It's important to note that at 10 PM, the Need2Obey private event will end, and the Eagle will once again be open only for men. That means only men will be allowed to stay at the Eagle after 10 PM; others must leave before then.

  • What should I do if I feel unsafe?

    Safety is important, and if you're feeling unsafe, then you should tell someone who is able to help. You can always ask for help at the bar, or you can inform the organizers of the event: David (HairyHypnotist) or Frank (Frank_NL). One or more of them will address the situation immediately.
