Book Preview:

#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.

#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.

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

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.
