In Sociology , seduction is the process of deliberately enticing a person into an act. The word can have a negative connotation, either seriously or mildly (also used jokingly), and may refer to an act that the other may later regret and/or would normally not want to do. Historically, the most famous seducers of all time are Cleopatra , Casanova , and Don Juan . SEDUCTION: THE GAME Recently, many now consider the art of seduction a step in the game of Love . There is even an extant subculture of people who play this game as pastime. A common rule in current culture is "FMAC": find, meet, attract, close. Also, one employs the "three-second rule", i.e. always approach a man or woman within three seconds of first seeing him or her in order to avoid getting shy. Other tricks, used especially by men, include: #Intrigue a beautiful woman by pretending to be unaffected by her charm. #Never hit on a woman right away. #Start with a disarming, innocent remark, such as: "Do you think magic spells work?" or "Oh my god, did you see those two girls fighting outside?" Finally, the most important characteristic of the seducer or pickup artist is the smile. Some popular movies that characterize the "game of seduction" are: Wedding Crashers , Hitch , and Magnolia . SEXUAL SEDUCTION Seduction most commonly refers to the use of Sexual Desire in order to persuade someone to change their behavior to meet the desires of the seducer.

There are many strategies that can be used for seduction, depending on sex, personality and circumstances. Many social behavior theorists classify seduction as a specialized form of Persuasion . Seduction can also be viewed as a form of Power that relies on Psychological mastery rather than the use of coercive power, money, or intellectual appeals.
