Here's my problem with most erotic fantasy, it's the whole idea that one should have to suspend disbelief in order to find something arousing
The keyword in that is "Fantasy."

Fantasy by the very definition of how we are using the word, no matter how small the distortions to reality is, still require some level of suspended disbelief. Erotic slice of life? Honestly if ou takes fantasy away it just becomes eroticism, but there has to be a better genre name for it.
My thinking on what makes something erotic, why can't something that can very well happen in a real world be arousing?
Because no one has bothered to create the subgenre to my knowledge. The closest we get is erotic romance and even then, those get tossed under erotic fantasy even when there are no fantasy elements to it. Also just for the record, no one claimed things that happened in the real world can't be arousing, but the point of fantasy isn't to imitate the real world, its to reach into the realms of the imagination. That doesn't mean it can't or won't/don't, the genre of fantasy is meant to be unrealistic. If they weren't, a lot of the groping, drugging, and raping stories wouldn't go the way they go now.
And yes, I would like to make the distinction between hypnoses, and drugging a victim, though I do use the word "victim" loosely, because a hypnoses session requires the subject to be willing to undergo the process, the only way I would use the word "victim" in a hypnoses event is if there is "magic" in the universe it's used in.
That is great and all, but your thought process isn't what dominates the genre right now. It doesn't matter how much real world logic you attach to any FANTASY story. Fantasy doesn't follow the logic of our world. I've yet to see a hypnosis story that wasn't mind control. Based on a simple google search (
https://www.hypnosisalliance.com/imdha/myths.php), almost every game with hypnosis in it from wife trainer which is the only one that I can think of that did stay close to the facts of how hypnosis work, to bimbospread which is straight up mind control. Proves that these content creators aren't following real world logic on how hypnosis works and is fact using it as a rape method. Heck even in wife trainer there is a character if you get her resistance low enough hypnosis basically does become mind control!
edit, again
We lack certain genres because we don't treat erotic fictions the same way we treat every other story of fiction and nonfiction. Almost no one goes at an erotic story asking, "is the events and actions that lead to the erotic stuff set in the realms of fantasy or reality?" That's because we just toss it all under the helm of "erotic fantasy" Despite how much in the realm of reality the story itself may be. What you want, there is nothing wrong with it, hell i could even agree with you if the mindset that dominated it all actually worked differently than it does now. Even real life porn has a genre called "reality" where they supposedly set up believable scenes that lead to sex. We don't really have such a genre.
