I disagree with guest 6867 (Message 5744) when s/he says that seduction involves coercion. To my ear, *seduction* involves manipulation, not coercion.

Well, actually, now that I think of it, there might be an area of overlap. There is a kind of coercion which might be called 'emotional bullying.' No overt physical threats are made, but the goal is to frighten the other person into submission. E.g., "Everyone will laugh at you if you don't wear this kind of clothing." To my ear, this sort of thing could equally well be called "manipulation" or "coercion."

Bev:

Would you define the term, "ethical slut" please?

Re "Ethical Slut", sorry, I thought the book was it's own Internet mem. Check the wikipedia article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ethical_Slut

Irina, if seduction includes manipulation, then I disapprove. If it's Prob's vision of steamy looks and candlelight, I'm OK with it. YMMV.

Oh, dear, the language evolves too fast for me!

Internet mem?
YMMV?

"Infinite sexual possibilities"? Oooh, I like your taste in books, Bev!

"Infinite sexual possibilities"?

is pious - initiate flexible sins!

Very good, Psimagus!

Especially Prob123 might like to check this out:

Woohoo--press for the PF (and they mentioned BJ and IK by names as well as old green and scaly).

Irina, mem is is a typo for meme http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme

Since I gave you meme, I suppose I should also reference Dawkins' The Selfish Gene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene. "Selfish" goes well with the "polyamorus doesn't have to hurt people" crap, I mean the other book I mentioned It's all good. I still prefer bell hooks on the topic of love.

Bell Hooks the author of "Killing Rage"?

I still don't know what YMMV means.
