Romance Is Scary-Hot

[stiobhanrune]

Some things have been bothering me lately, while observing people around me. People seem to have become a bit frightened of love, desire, emotion... even romance seems to be relegated to the creepy side of things.

You my dear really are a real-life Inara.

(that's a compliment. I kinda want to be one too.)

*nods* That makes total sense, I'm afraid. The word bothers people- they form negative attachments, without discovering the beauty of the process itself.

It's been my will and desire to show others that seduction without romance, without beauty and compassion, isn't seduction at all. It's coercion. And it's not very successful, either- most people figure out what's going on quickly. It's more than a little sociopathic, that sort of attitude of "seduction to just get what I want." And that sort of sociopathy is actually anti-seductive in close proximity.

So, I have to say I agree with you, that is often a problem for folk learning about seduction or hearing about the process. Me, I just feel sad for that- I love seduction in all its forms, and one of my favorite things to do is enrich a seduction that someone is trying to perform in an empty way. I like to make it full, make it rich and beautiful, and leave them wondering what it was they touched. *smiles*
