âEvery seduction has two elements: first yourself and what makes you seductive; and second, your target and the actions that penetrate their defenses and create surrenderâ
Episode 3: The Art of Seduction
In this episode of the AFROBLUSH Blog we discuss what it means to be seductive and how this plays out in design, marketing and dating.
Recording this episode was so much fun, but let me tell you, it wasnât easy. So many people were interested in the hearing the discussion but few were brave enough to come on the show to talk about it, so much so that my two other guests cancelled only a moment before the show!Â
Disappointing? Maybe, but it only made me that much more interested to delve into this topic and discover whatâs so intriguing and intimidating about seduction. Itâs obvious why weâre so guarded about our seductive strategies. We donât want to give away our techniques and compromise our power to entomb people with our charm, charisma and even nonchalance. However, what revealed itself rather interestingly in this episode is that quite often in the game of seduction, is how easily you can go from the hunter to the hunted.Â

Anyone can be a master seducerÂ
Few want to acknowledge themselves as a seducer, it has connotations of being conniving, evil or ugly in character. However, the ability to control people to get what we want and need is deeply rooted in our quest for survival (and power), and happens a lot more frequently than we think.

Film, music and social media create a galaxy of seductive stars and images. We are saturated in the seductive, and whilst weâve seen the tactical methods of seduction evolve over the years, much of the essence of seduction is constant: never be forceful or direct; instead use pleasure as bait, playing on peopleâs emotions, stirring desire and confusion, inducing psychological surrender.
However, to have seductive prowess doesnât require a total transformation of your character or any kind of physical improvement. Seduction is a game of psychology, not beauty, and itâs within the grasp of any person to become the master of the game.
