The Bluffer's Guide to Seduction
By Yves Chébran
 
Extracts from the book

 
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 practise 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.
