How to be a Seductress

This Blog had such INTENSE reactions - positive, judgemental and misunderstood. I realized that I needed to rewrite it, so that I would be more clear that I believe that women hold all the cards - and I AM about empowering women and that I believe there are ways for women to reclaim their sexuality and their sexual power.

Thank you for all your comments - ALL of them - I love that you all felt passionate about what I said, one way or another.

Blessings,

Dolphina

I've enjoyed your videos etc, but I would like to see some 'no seductress go zone' advice....like lay off taken/married men and don't flirt with taken/married men.

Seductresses who know no boundaries are the ruin of many a good relationship, and although I don't believe you've done that at any time, it would be nice just for once to see some one say "taken men are no go zones". Even the most innocent flirting with a taken man can be dangerous and destroy a relationship or family unit. There is nothing more embarrassing or insulting to a woman than when a 'seductress' decides to flirt with your man in your face.

I am all for being sexy and seductive, but there are fine lines between seductress and s l u t (oh I hate to use that word here on your lovely blog) and the thrill of being seductive and sexy to men is not worth the pain to another.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading this blog. I love complimenting my man and yes, smouldering looks from eyes to lips to eyes does work ladies!

10. molly wrote:: Sarah, i think these techniques are about so much more than objectifying yourself as a women. Any woman can demean herself, objectify herself and get someone to sleep with them. I think that they're more about maintaining a sense of mystery and being a confident person that can use their body to speak what they are thinking. Ms. Dolphina said that these techniques can be used if you are already married, and I think that it is within marriage that these tool can be the most powerful, and are most desperately needed. Go back to the top and think of what it would look like if you were to use these techniques within the context of a committed monogamous relationship. Any woman can get a thousand men to sleep with her for one night if she tries hard enough, but it takes a true goddess to be with one man a thousand nights. to keep the seduction alive. that where the skills of seduction are most beneficial.

11. Rebecca wrote:: Molly, have you ever told a guy that you were good at giving oral sex? This isn't to "be mysterious" or "show confidence" it's to get the guy to think about what you would be like in bed. Which is the exact definition of objectifying yourself.

13. Kari wrote:: This sounds familiar. I think it was something my mother taught me as a teen. That (as long as used correctly, and with moral limitations) seduction can be used not to objectify but to mystify.

Dolphina is trying to make women understand that they can be WOMEN, sexy and uninhibited and strong, without having to play by the rules of puritans passed down generation by generation.

Though yes, coming straight out and saying that you took an oral class and happened to be the valedictorian is a slightly... obvious... hint, something as simple as stating to my fiance that I'm taking belly dance courses sparked a strong curiosity in him. She's saying that you should embrace being a woman and use that womanhood and it's gifts to be in charge of your life... instead of being drug around on some guy's keychain.

I've been in some pretty rough relationships where all I ended up doing was cleaning and doing what I had to do to make the guy happy. I'm happier now that I have embraced my womanhood (with help from Ms. Dolphina of course) and begun to use the assets that it entails (with limitations... married is always off-limits, taken is off-limits, and even soon-to-be-divorced is off limits; that's just social courtesy). She's not saying that you should use your womanly tools and seductive abilities to get laid. She's saying to use them to be a woman, and enjoy the VERY SHORT life you have.

Just my opinion.

I wouldn't want it done too me,however, i feel if you have a strong healthy relationship that's open and trustworthy,you shouldn't be threatened by it.it's good to know your mate is still attractive to the opposite sex. And remind him later, how it turned u on watching other women check him out. (That's a compliment)
Being "present" fully in the moment is a turn on also....Men really like to know they bring joy to their woman, so let him know u enjoy him. Or they may just go find someone who does.

His DAD's car. According to the article. I don't know if it's me, but I feel like giving away someone else's car doesn't hurt all that much! *Sarcasm off"

22. Kara wrote:: Hey There,

So I agree with what your saying. But what happens if the guy you are trying flirt with, you work with him... and the only time you see him would be in that work environment... you cant possibly do this in or at a work setting. It would be entirely unprofessional... How would you get him interested enough to ask you out to coffee or for a few drinks? Or what would be a suttle way of flirting in a work environment? How can you tell he is even interested?? I have had a lot of experience when it comes to guys. and normally things that i do works. But this guy is different. Most guys that i have delt with are complete losers unfortunately. Not this guy! He is a great guy. That kind of guy every girl wishes she could have... How do i go about this? Sorry I hope i am not bothering you. I just feel like im a whole different level here.

(this could happen, for example, if you flirted with this guy and he's not interested and turns you into the the HR dept for harassment.) Kara, I recommend being as subtle as possible while in the work environment. Work him slowly. Research. Find out what captures his attention (you already know how to do this). Work slowly and patiently. He'll respond. Either way, he will respond and you'll KNOW. (but you'll need to listen and watch closely I think, because IF he's careful (work environment) his response to YOU will ALSO be subtle. Sounds like you know what you're doing. :) Good luck and have fun.

24. Aliyah wrote:: A wonderful article! I am in engaged to an open man, and I really enjoy flirting with guys still; plus, being a Siren on stage requires an element of seduction, so this was a very helpful article to me.
I read these comments about how married/taken men are off-limits, but in my mind, if you are friends with a guy who you admire, there is going to be some flirtation going on. It may not be as purposeful or directional as other seduction, but its still present. And its not meant to break apart his relationship. I think people tend to be so jealous and hold on to their significant other so tightly, its only detrimental to their relationship. If you learn to loosen that jealousy, even enough that its ok to flirt with others, it is much easier to stay together for a long, long time. That's my opinion. Two years ago, I would never have said this, but at this point in my life, this is what I believe.

Again, a wonderful, inspiring article!
