Seduction
Author: Clement Knox
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1643133845
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
A brilliantly original history that explores the shifting cultural mores of courtship, told through the lives of remarkable women and men throughout history. If sex has generally been a private matter, seduction has always been of intense public interest. Whether the stuff of front-page tabloid news, the scandal of nineteenth-century American courts, or the stuff of literature across the eras, we are fascinated by stories of seduction and sex. In the first history of its kind, Clement Knox explores seduction in all its historical and cultural incarnations. Moving from the Garden of Eden to the carnivals of eighteenth-century Venice, and from the bawdy world of Georgian London to the saloons and speakeasies of the Jazz Age, this is an exploration of timeless themes of power, desire, and free will. Along the way we meet Mary Wollstonecraft, her daughter Mary Shelley, and her friend Caroline Norton, and reckon with their fight for women’s rights and freedoms. We encounter Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion of the world, who became entangled in America's labyrinthine and racialized seduction laws. We discover how tall tales of predatory vampires, hypnotists, and immigrants were mobilized by Nazis and nativists to help propel them to power. We consider how after seduction seemingly vanished from view during the Sexual Revolution, it exploded back into our lives as The Game became a multi-million bestseller, online dating swept the world, and the ongoing male fascinating with manipulating women was exposed. In a big-thinking cultural history told through an extraordinary range of stories and sources, Knox explores how our ideas about desire and pursuit have developed in step with the modern world. This is a bold, modern charter of seduction, from the birth of the Enlightenment to the explosion of romantic literature and right up to our contemporary moments of reckoning around “incel” culture and #MeToo.

Pages : 209
Book Description
Recent surveys reveal that about 84% of men feel insecure in flirting situations: whether due to lack of courage, fear of judgment, feeling intimidated by the beauty of women, not knowing what to say or even because of an ingrained shyness. This is because these men do not understand the psychological aspects and mental triggers that are behind any human interaction. In my teens, I was very shy and embarrassed to talk to women who piqued my interest, until I discovered that seduction and conquest skills could be learned and I could really become a skilled seducer if I learned the right techniques. After studying human behavior a lot and even graduating from courses on influence and persuasion, I became an expert in communication and finally understood how some men conquer women so easily, as if they were true magnets and attracted them to themselves with very little effort. Thinking about helping other men to overcome these difficulties I wrote the book “Secrets of Seduction”, where I teach all the powerful techniques of influence, persuasion, NLP and seduction that really changed my life. I literally reveal all the secrets you've never been told about relating to women. In it, I teach practical strategies from basic to advanced to overcome any mental block, gain self-confidence, interpret signals of interest and, just by looking, know exactly who are the women who are interested in you. I also approach the best communication techniques with an almost hypnotic power to create connections, which helped me not only in the seduction aspect but also in several areas of my life. I hope this book adds the same value to you as it did to me.
