SEDUCTION noun se·duc·tion \ si-ˈdək-shən \ the act of seducing; especially : the enticement of a person to sexual intercourse : something that seduces : temptation: something that attracts or charms. The origin of the word 'seduction' is the Latin for 'to lead astray'.
Seduction in all of its aspects have been around for centuries and dates as early back as the 1800's. It can be found in The Book of Judges in The Old Testament, and The Book of Exodus. Take for example Adam and Eve, Eve offers the forbidden fruit to Adam. Later, Chapter 7 of Proverbs warns the pitfalls of mankind due to acts of seduction.
Seduction among its properties was heavily relied upon in both history and fiction, both as a warning of social consequences of engaging in behavior (sexual or non-sexual) or becoming the seducers victim, as a salute to its powerful skills.
Some of the most powerful men and women in greek mythology, present day life, and even fictional characters have used the act of seduction to get what they wanted and to have their needs met. Take for example this excerpt from the book The Trojan Women, spoken by Hecuba who describes Helen of Troy in Euripides:
:: Menelaus, if you are really going to kill her, Then my blessing go with you, but you must do it now, Before her looks so twist the strings of your heart, That they turn your mind; for her eyes are like armies, And where her glances fall, there cities burn, Until the dust of their ashes are blown, By her sighs. I know her Menelaus, And so do you, And all those who know her suffer. ::
In seduction as it is practiced today, the methods of Cleopatra still hold true and valuable. "No man hath it in his power to overrule the deceitfulness of a woman". - Marguerite of Navarre
Seducers have a warrior's outlook on life. They see each person as a kind of walled castle to which they are laying siege. Seduction is a process of penetration, initially penetrating the targets mind, their first point of defense. Once seducers have penetrated the mind, making the target fantasize about them, it is easy to lower resistance and create physical surrender. Seducers do not improvise, they do not leave this process to chance. Like any good general, they plan and strategize, aiming at the target's particular weakness.
Successful Seducers will have a form of law and/or mantra they follow..
1. Never be self-absorbed as it is a sign of insecurity and is anti-seductive. Insecurities are healthy, everyone has them but a seducer must ignore them, finding an alternative therapy for moments of self-doubt. Having this therapy and applying it gives the seducer a buoyant spirit - making you more likeable and attractive in the eyes of others. We want to be around people like this.
2. Get into someone else's skin and imagine what life is like through their eyes. Gather valuable information and learn what makes them mad, happy, what will make them lose their ability to become vulnerable and fall into a trap. Similar to mapping a war, we think through the mind of the opposing armies side. Getting into the targets skin is the first important tactical move in the war of penetration to the mind.
Seducers know that the possibility of providing or promoting pleasure will make that person follow them, and the experience will allow this person to open up, weak to the touch. The Seducer trains themself to be sensitive to please, feeling pleasure makes it easier for you to infect the people around you.
Seducers take pleasure in performing and are not too weighed down by their own identities, or by some need to be themselves or to be natural. This kind of freedom of theirs, this fluidity of body and spirit is what makes them more attractive. People lack fantasy, illusion, and play.
When with a seducer in everyday life, the clothes they wear, the places they go, the words and actions are all heightened - they are delightful and full of edge. Seduction is a kind of theater in real life, it is the meeting of illusion and reality.
ASK YOURSELF, "WHAT IS IT IN A PERSON'S CHARACTER THAT NATURALLY EXCITES PEOPLE, OR US? WHAT DRAWS US TO THEM?" We then develop these qualities within us to seduce. successfully. In the world there are a total of nine seductive character types, if you are interested in what these character types are and the attributes presented by these types I would suggest picking up a Robert Greene book called The Art of Seduction (ironic).
Seducers are amoral in their approach in life. It is all a game, an arena for play. They do not concern themselves with other people's opinions, they do not deal with moral judgements, as it is less seductive. Because seduction is a form of deception and many want to be led astray, they yearn to be seduced.
One who wishes to successfully seduce the opposing side must first ask themself...
a. YOURSELF- what is seductive about you?
b. YOUR TARGET (their actions) Is your target penetrable?
c. WHAT DRAWS PEOPLE TO YOU? (beliefs, morals, approach, attire, characteristics)
Knowing and studying yourself first will allow you to seduce others more easily. Seducing is a game of cat and mouse, once you have your opposing side and know that their mind is penetrable, they can easily be seduced. Your plan will fall into place with action or acts of seduction.
Seduction can be used and applied in many scenarios and activities you participate in nearly everyday! Most times, seduction is used for sexual relationships, short term/long term strategies, marketing/sales, and contemporary law.
