The Art of Seduction by Robert Geene and Joost Elffers

1: Choose the Right Victim

Study your prey thoroughly. The right victims are those for whom you can fill a void. The perfect victim allows for the perfect choice.

2: Create a False Sense of Security-Approach Indirectly

The seduction should begin at an angle, indirectly, so that the target only gradually becomes aware of you. Haunt the periphery of your target's life.

3: Send mixed signals

A mix of qualities suggests depth, which fascinates as it confuses.

4: Appear to Be an Object of Desire- Create Triangles

Make them hungry to possess you. It will become a point of vanity for them to be the preferred object of your attention.

5: Create a Need- Stir Anxiety and Discontent

A perfectly satisfied person cannot be seduced.

6: Master the Art of Insinuation

Create a sub-language- bold statements followed be retraction and apology, banal talk combined with alluring glances. Make everything suggestive.

7: Enter Their Spirit

Play by their rules, enjoy what they enjoy, adapt yourself to their moods. In doing so you will stroke their deep-rooted narcissism and lower their defenses.

8: Create Temptations

Lure the target by creating a glimpse of the pleasures to come.

9: Keep them in Suspense- What Comes Next?

The moment people feel they know what to expect from you, your spell on them is broken. Give the victim a thrill with a sudden change in direction.

10: Use the Demonic Power of Words to Sow Confusion

The trick to making them listen is to say what they want to hear. Flatter them.

11: Pay Attention to Detail

Lofty words of love and grand gestures can be suspicious. The details of a seduction- the subtle gestures, the offhand things you do- are often more charming.

12: Poeticize Your Presence

Intrigue your targets by alternating an exciting presence with a cool distance, exuberant moments followed by calculated absences.

13: Disarm Through Strategic Weakness and Vulnerability

Too much maneuvering on your part may raise suspicion. The best way to cover your tracks is to make the other person feel superior and stronger.

14: Confuse Desire and Reality- The Perfect Illusion

Aim at secret wishes that have been thwarted or repressed, stirring up uncontrollable emotions, clouding their powers of reason.

15: Isolate the Victim

An isolated person is weak. Take them away from their normal milieu, friends, family, home. Once isolated like this, they have no outside support, and in their confusion they are easily led astray.

16: Prove Yourself

One well-timed action that shows how far you are willing to go to win them over will dispel all doubts.

17: Effect a Regression

People who have experienced a certain kind of pleasure in the past will try to repeat or relive it.

18: Stir up the Transgressive and Taboo

People yearn to explore their dark side. Take them further than they imagined- the shared feeling of guilt and complicity will create a powerful bond.

19. Use Spiritual Lures

Everyone has doubts and insecurities about their physical presence. Lure them out of their insecurities by making them focus on something sublime and spiritual: a religious experience, a lofty work of art, the occult.

20: Mix Pleasure with Pain

The greatest mistake in seduction is being too nice.

21: Give Them Space to Fall- The Pursuer IS Pursued

Hint that you are growing bored. Seem interested in someone else. Create the illusion that the seducer is being seduced.

22: Use Physical Lures

Targets with active minds are dangerous. Put their minds gently to rest and waken their dormant senses by combining a nondefensive attitude with a charged sexual presence.

23: Master the Art of the Bold Move

Don't give the victim time to consider the consequences. One person must go on the offensive and it is you.

24: Beware the After-effects

Never let the other person take you for granted- use absence, create pain and conflict, to keep them seduced on tenterhooks.
