It exists because people want it. People want it for various reasons, most of them fetishistic. You can have a fetish without trans symptoms, with trans symptoms, because of trans symptoms, or in such a way that the fetish may even eventually cause trans symptoms.
Does the sissy porn actually work as advertised?
No. But if you have a fetish that is served by sissy porn, indulging in that fetish will likely strengthen it. There's a little bit of an agency problem here. If you have a fetish, does that mean you should or even can prevent yourself from exploring it? I don't know, and I don't think there are clear ethical answers here. People who indulge their fetishes tend to say they behaved the way people with their fetish behave. People who don't indulge the same fetish will say they don't really have it or that it wasn't very strong. Both of these types of people are correct, but they are making assumptions.
Does hypnosis work?
No. Not as advertised. BUT. If you believe it works, and you want it to work, the placebo affect is real. Also, repeated hypnosis sessions can be effective in the same way any sort of repeated behavior can be effective in producing behavioral changes. Behavioral changes can affect how you think and perceive.
