“The Ardent Rake cannot control himself; he actually is a slave to all women. As such he inspires no fear.”

The Art of Seduction, The Rake

In the process of seduction, there is often a dilemma: to seduce, we need a plan, but if our victims suspect that we have ulterior motives, they will grow defensive, and our attempts at seduction will fail.

Moreover, if we seem to be in control, obviously exploiting a person’s weakness, we will inspire fear instead of desire.

The Ardent Rake is the master of overcoming this problem, doing so in the most artful manner.
