We have got seduction all wrong. When we think about seduction, I’d bet money that it conjures up certain images; somewhere in those will be a woman lying languidly on a couch, perhaps with red lipstick and long nails. Maybe seduction calls up ideas of deliveries of flowers; chocolates, hand written notes. The word seduction can bring up memories of classic films like The Graduate where Mrs Robinson seduces a young Dustin Hoffman.

But actually, although The Graduate does an excellent job of portraying the essence of seduction, most people miss it. Seduction isn’t about showing a stocking-covered thigh, it is about a deep and calm acceptance of the self, and prioritisation of one's own desires.

I could write an academic article on seduction and the way in which this idea is related to the history of courtship and courtly love, how seduction has become commodified and commercialised, packaged up and sold off as a way to manipulate, convince and ultimately destroy the victim of a seduction.

Instead I'm upgrading and refining my popular Authentic Seduction Masterclass to share it all with you in a fun, practical class.
