The Bluffer's Guide to Seduction

Seductees The two obvious players in any seduction are the Seductor and the Seductee. The word "seducer" should be avoided since it is only ever used in a mildly insulting context, referring to someone who tries hard but without much success. Seductors and Seductees can also be divided into the Professional and the Amateur, whereas the seducer is merely incorrigible. Amateur seductors It is a mistake to use hackneyed opening lines. If you can't think of anything outstanding to say, it doesn't matter. Leave witty remarks to those Amateur Seductors who buy books on the subject and practice while doing their teeth. Remember the rule of the art is that seductions should never look as if they started out that way. A Seductee has to be allowed some measure of self-respect. Professional seductors Professionals are never surprised when the seduction succeeds. Amateurs always are. Professionals are surprised when the seduction doesn't succeed. Amateurs console themselves with the fact that they and the other person involved can still be friends.Chebran, Yves is the author of 'The Bluffer's Guide to Seduction', published 2007 under ISBN 9781906042042 and ISBN 1906042047.
