Throughout the month, I’ve touched a lot on the way modern romance for us technology dominated folks involves modern technology (go figure). Email, texting, Skype. And a lot of people who have stopped by have agreed. Sometimes that little note from far away (whether far away is your significant other’s office, or a thousand miles or more), can make all the difference and make your smile huge.
And seduction is no different. For me, the initial word summons a physical interaction. A touch, a smile, a hand on his arm, or rested against her cheek.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Seduction can be verbal and very much remote. Flirting taking to the next level, usually less tentative, and frequently with someone you’re not worried about pushing you away. Yes, a simple, “So, what are you wearing?”, spoken with confidence, or typed the same way, can lead you both down paths that are absolutely amazing.
But even though I’ve done both real life and digital seduction (in my books and in real life, how meta is that?), face to face still wins out in this one for me.
Brushing a finger along the edge of your partner’s ear. Resting your hands on their hips. Having them move up behind you and run their lips over your neck.
Yup, for today in-person seduction wins. At least for me. What about you?

Have not had to seduce in the technology age, so I can’t compare. But I agree with you that seduction can be verbal and is most pleasurable face to face. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy A to Zing!
I think seduction via email or text can be kind of dangerous. There’s no tone to that kind of communication and the most innocent words can be totally misunderstood.
Face to face is much more satisfying because words and gestures add nuance to the moment.
Hmm… techy seduction can be fun, but I have to say in person wins out for me as well. Humans are animals, hard-wired to react to each other physically, with all of their senses. Even the air we breathe is part of the seduction (pheromones, scented candles, etc.)
