Sample Book Insights:
#1 The seductress is a scarlet inkblot, a Rorschach of our deepest sexual fears and fantasies. She’s the blond bimbette in a string bikini; the stacked vamp in Spandex; the Chanel-suited nymphobitch of Sullivan Cromwell. But we’ve been gulled by chimeras, and we need to demystify and rehabilitate this lost tribe of sexy potentates.
#2 The seductress is a modern-day embodiment of the original sex divinity. She is a alpha plus woman with charisma, who combines the steamy sexuality of the prehistorical deity with the numinous shazam we call charisma.
#3 The first and most insidious falsehood is that seductresses must be young and beautiful. However, a survey of the tragic love lives of beauty icons and the current singles scene reveals that number ten glamour girls are manless.
#4 The myth that old women are not attractive is based on the fact that senior women are rarely portrayed in popular culture as being sexually appealing. However, old women possess some of the most potent erotic weaponry in the book.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The seductress is a scarlet inkblot, a Rorschach of our deepest sexual fears and fantasies. She’s the blond bimbette in a string bikini; the stacked vamp in Spandex; the Chanel-suited nymphobitch of Sullivan Cromwell. But we’ve been gulled by chimeras, and we need to demystify and rehabilitate this lost tribe of sexy potentates.

#2

The seductress is a modern-day embodiment of the original sex divinity. She is a alpha plus woman with charisma, who combines the steamy sexuality of the prehistorical deity with the numinous shazam we call charisma.

#3

The first and most insidious falsehood is that seductresses must be young and beautiful. However, a survey of the tragic love lives of beauty icons and the current singles scene reveals that number ten glamour girls are manless.

#4

The myth that old women are not attractive is based on the fact that senior women are rarely portrayed in popular culture as being sexually appealing. However, old women possess some of the most potent erotic weaponry in the book.

#5

The third libel against the seductress is that she is stupid. However, the real killers were smart women with big mouths.

#6

The sex bomb fallacy, which is the belief that seductive women are glorified housekeepers, is based on the erroneous view of the seductress as a servile man pleaser. In reality, seductive women were often enraptured by their own muses.

#7

The sixth-century Theodora was a classic example of a seductress. She governed Byzantium with finesse while putting forth irresistible powers of fascination.

#8

The Madonna-whore dichotomy is rooted in the male mind, and it stereotypes women as either virtuous homemakers or lustful whores. However, the most fabulous charmeuses of history were rakish adventurers and sex professionals.

#9

The art of seduction has been obfuscated by a miasma of myth. The secrets of fascination, however, do not come cheap. They’re an advanced, serious discipline. Men seek in women what they sought in cave shrines and yearned for in yearning shrines thousands of years ago.

#10

The more dramatic the better, Stone Age shamans and priestesses glammed up to channel the goddess’s cosmic sex energy. Seductresses dressed for parade, with look-at-me excess and over-the-top opulence.

#11

The natural look may be inherently antierotic, and it has never fared well in the history of seduction. Scent bypasses the thalamus and strikes directly at the oldest stratum of the brain, the rhinecephalon, source of memory and emotion.

#12

The sex goddess was the patron of animals, and seductresses would often have menageries of pets. The house of love has its own poetics of space, which the grandes amoureuses mastered like design swamis.

#13

Music and dance are powerful tools that can be used to seduce and entrance others. They are also extremely effective weapons that can be used to soothe the savage beast.

#14

The history of the female orgasm is long and complex, dating back to the Stone Age when women didn’t need to be discovered to have them. They came and came, and inspired a culture of sexual technique that made men sit up and beg.

#15

To seduce a man, you must use your head. Love, even the most soul-bonded and heaven-scaling, won’t remain frozen in amber. It’s a continuous courtship with a continuous progression. Psychological appeals are the A-weapons of love.

#16

The first sex goddesses were austere and merciless taskmistresses, and they required blood sacrifices at their rites. Men dream of consensus, calm, and peace on the home front, but they long for a little action.

#17

The cult of the goddess was centered around woman the creatrix. She gave birth to the universe, watered the heavens and earth with her life-giving milk, and spawned and nurtured humanity.

#18

The siren’s inflated ego made them natural praisers. They instinctively projected their inflated sense of self onto others. After first applauding herself, her wondrous vulva, and endless accomplishments, Inanna trained her accolades on Dumuzi and recited his superhuman virtues.

#19

The best way to build men up is to listen to them, and the most effective way to do that is through humor. Humor is a strong aphrodisiac, and the funny bone is a high-explosive erogenous zone.

#20

Men never lose their appetite for license, and they want their wives to release them from those constraints. Love allows men to be out of control and release their pent-up emotions.

#21

The lure of androgyny, with its superabundance of erotic possibilities, is extremely attractive to men. Sirens deliberately played on the appeal of the androgyne.

#22

The sex goddess is the female equivalent of the seducer. She is a mover, shaker, and drama maker. She keeps things in motion and throws off électricité, star power that sends shock waves through a room.

#23

The art of seduction is an ancient one, and it is so effective that it can work without a blanket application. Seductive women practiced it piecemeal and selectively, and rarely employed the full spectrum of spells.

#24

The history of women is one of patriarchy trying to eliminate them. Men have gone to great lengths to eliminate the threat of female autonomy and power, and women have often joined in the hunt.

#25

The art of love, though, is consistent with the highest principles of feminism. It promotes self-development, autonomy, and liberation. It expands our options and frees us from the naive no games, total candor ethos of the 1960s.

#26

The feminist pantheon is only half full, and the standard role models - the Eleanor Roosevelts, St. Teresas, Virginia Woolfs, and Hillary Clintons - have served us well. We need new blood, women who can take us through the postmodern sexual minefield and tell us we can have it all.

#27

The future is now, with the seductresses to guide us and teach us the steps. Ladies’ choice.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The seductress archetype is based on the idea of the desirable woman, which has been seen in many different cultures throughout history.
