Is seduction a subtle form of rape? Umm. The above comments have given me pause. Not sure now. It is nice to be wanted though. I suppose the intent of the seducer is usually not benign, not driven by an interest in the seducee, but driven by a need to overpower and conquer. I just don’t know how I feel about this one. Really.
Or seducer. . . . And then there are those of us who want nothing, need nothing from another — but still enjoy some aspects of The Game on occasion. 😉
Coco J., you are a fun kind of devil the way you provoke thought processes with a few words. It’s like your keyboard is a giant spoon you use to stir up the masses, waiting to see what bubbles up. I can almost see the gleam in your eye as something pops into your head and you hastily create the entryt and pause, hand raised, just before you tap ‘Publish’. As for the comment, it is my opinion that you are absolutely correct because the first thing that comes to mind is the sexual version. However, seduction is used for all manner of reasons to encourage folks to do something they wouldn’t normally do if left to their own devices. Like responding to an entry, something I rarely do. So, this is my public admission that I’ve been seduced to respond. Dang! Why can’t I just say, “No”? Good job!
….Like when she leaned in to properly form my fingers around the long neck of her guitar. Her sundress resting above her knees and rushing in to her thighs like a fabric tide coming back for the evening. She sat in front of me. My knee explored the inside of her thigh and the music that played across my skin at that moment was better than any song anyone could have taught me.

You’re wrong. Pursued, maybe wooed, but seduction has the taste of “against one’s will”. No, seduction for moi.

Seduction, at it’s best, is a game. Whether it is realized at the time, or not. And if the game is well played, it is exhilarating 🙂
