Arden Leigh.

It is the fact that we risk that pain and the courage necessary to do so that make seduction so… well, seductive.  We are drawn to people who show confidence and bravery in the face of danger.  We are not swayed by those who are cowed by it.  This is part of what makes seduction an essentially generous action: that there is risk inherent in pursuing the object of our desires.  When we seduce someone, we are telling him that our desire for him is greater than our fear, that the pleasures we believe we might experience with him are worth the risk of the pain we might incur in their pursuit.  If there were a clear path to another person’s heart, it wouldn’t be an act of bravery.  And without bravery, there can be no seduction.
