Seduction…A word that elicits imagery of warm, intimate spaces…the closeness of another body, entwined with mine…the scent of sheets dried in the sunshine, of juicy bodies, of incense…the sounds of heavy breathing, the suckling sounds of those juicy bodies thrusting together, the sounds of mouths meeting and parting…

I think too of curves…the curves of bodies writhing and rocking together. I think of colors…the colors of skin in dusky light…the colors of flushed round erogenous places, heated from arousal and use…I think of the colors of the bed, darkened from being made wet with orgasms, the colors that flash around the body of the one in my arms as He’s the only thing in the room in focus to me…

Sensations; that’s what seduction makes me think about.

When I think about Tantra, I think of seduction…

What’s seductive to Him…? Is it the scent of me? My aim in seducing Him is to make Him yearn to bury his face in me…just to enjoy the scent of me….My favorite thing in the world with M is when we have overnight time together. M is not fussed about getting an orgasm. He frequently leaves my arms without one…We don’t touch each other to get an orgasm….though they are glorious…*smiles* No…what I love is that in the wee hours of the night, He will let His body spend itself in mine…and after a nap…the most glorious scent rises from my body. He finds it hard to resist the scent of us on my body. The very idea of that scent makes Him hard for weeks later…. I love that scent too. I hate to wash it off my body before I go home….

What’s seductive to Him…? Is it the sound of me? Many times He’s remarked on how He loves to listen to me sing Him to sleep…That He likes the sounds of my passion…even when He thinks I’m being too loud. *smiles* I love the sound of His breathing when He’s very aroused. It’s a soft rhythmic pant and nearly imperceptible grunts when He orgasms….I just love those sounds!

We rarely have any personal space to share our romantic time together…but we are both very aware of the environment that is the backdrop for our loving…We love quiet. We love soft sheets to sleep in. We love to see nature out the window. We love the sanctity of the bed we’ll share….And the romance of candles is something we enjoy.

We’ve enjoyed fantasizing that at some point we’ll get to create a space that is just ours to leave our toys at…and we’ve enjoyed the fantasy of collecting some furniture for our pleasuring…we’ve talked about lovely places to sit in meditation together and having a fire to watch together…

These things are seductive to us…So are our imaginations. Much of my writing is to engage His arousal for me and make Him hard just thinking about me….thinking of the sensation of me wrapped around His hardness…of my hands touching Him in the delicate, soft ways that I have…my exquisite touch as He’s called it…

He touches me as if I am a fragile treasure. He’s so careful of my body…of my feelings. His goal is to coax as many orgasms from me as He can when we make love…He feels that spanking is a healing, nurturing thing to share…His every action speaks of His view of me as His joy…as His love…as His charge which He cares for. Its in every note He writes…in the choice of words…In the photos He thinks to share with me…

These are the ways that we seduce each other….Cultivating that seduction is something we do unconsciously much of the time…but Tantra is about being conscious of such things…

Being aware of my effect on Him teaches me how my charisma works on His libido…If I know how I effect Him…then I can add fire to that natural effect…enhancing it. I watch His eyes. I watch the little smiles He makes. I watch when some of the fire goes out of His posture because that tells me that what I tried didn’t work the way I want it to. Slowly, I am gathering the keys to His arousal…and I do my best to trigger each one at some point in our time together. When He leaves my arms, I want Him relaxed, sated emotionally and feeling both sated physically and totally ready for more with me at the same time….I want Him to leave my arms ready to get hard again with the slightest provocation…and not because I’ve failed to wear Him out because given more than part of a day…I’ll have Him pleasantly tired…and given a weekend…I‘ll have Him glad for a night’s sleep in His own bed without me so He can get some rest…No. I mean that I want His body so tuned to my arousal that He’ll get hard just because the wind blows by me…because I’ve looked at Him with lust….Because my fingertips brush His sleeve….because I am just thinking of His hard cock and I sigh near Him.

Seduction is not just one action…its all the actions…all the thoughts shared…all the sensations…all the emotions we’ve cultivated and inspired in each other…. In combination, they become a seduction of such power that its nearly self sustaining for weeks at a time…needing only a passing remark to inflame each other anew…

Scent

I once promised you a recipe for a massage oil that is good for tantric practice…

You’ll need: 1- 12 ounce bottle with a pump. Try to find one that is composed of a plastic that is resistant to breaking down if its filled with oily substances, 12 ounces of carrier oil, lemongrass essential oil, clove essential oil, orange blossom essential oil, vanilla essential oil.

About carrier oils. Those can be most any oil that you’d enjoy on the skin. Most oils have their own scent to them, so you’ll want to bear this in mind when you choose one. Some to choose from are Olive, Safflower, Jojoba, Almond, Grape seed. Personally, I like to use Grape seed oil. It’s easy to get at the grocery store and the price is reasonable. On its own, it has a pleasant sweet flavor, so it is a good oil to use for massage with oral pleasure. (warning: many essential oils are not edible!) It’s got a very delicate natural sent…slightly sweet, but otherwise, its own scent disappears when essential oils are added to it. I also like grape seed oil because it will heal just about anything skin related…even acne. The thing that I like the most about it is that with very little of it, it creates a nice slippery surface on the skin that remains there awhile…which is exactly what you want for massage. It isn’t useful to have the oil be absorbed quickly by the skin if you want to linger at the massage. I use, at most, an ounce of this oil for a massage unless someone has unusually dry skin and can do a massage for almost two hours with just the little I mentioned without it all sinking into the skin.

You’ll want to experiment with your recipe to appeal to your own sense of what’s lovely proportions for the essential oils together, but my recipe is 4 drops lemongrass, 2 drops each clove, orange blossom and vanilla. I prefer the note of the lemony scent standing out of the rich spicy scents of clove and vanilla…and I like the orange blossom to blend softly in too….

If you like knowing the aromatherapy aspects of these oils, you’ll be pleased to note that the citrus scents evoke a light heart, ease tension, stress and heavy emotions from a person, while the clove and vanilla are grounding and arousing to the libido.

Its important not to use too much essential oil, in general, because it can burn the skin if you get too much of it.

Its important to make your scented massage oils at least a week before you do a massage with them. Freshly made scented oils will go through aromatic evolutions as the essential oils settle into the carrier oils. For some essential oils this is more true than others. For instance, winter green and peppermint oils will smell different each time you test it for up to two weeks after the oil is made; first one and then the other taking precedence in the mix. Do not adjust the scent until you’ve let it sit at least four days. Each time you feel the need to adjust a scent, let it sit the four days. The mix will be stronger when its first made and will settle into a lighter aroma in a week or so.

It’s also very important that you test the oil on your skin and your partner’s skin a few days prior to the massage to make sure that your romantic time together is not marred by an allergic reaction or the realization that you’ve got too much essential oil in the mix for a comfortable olfactory experience or for the comfort of skin.

If you get too much of something, just add carrier oil and it will soften all the effects of your mix. When I started to mix my own scented oils, I used half the space in my bottle so that I’d have plenty of room to add more carrier oil if I didn’t like the results for some reason. Essential oils are very strong. Generally, you don’t want to add more than one drop of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil or you risk an overpowering scent or burning skin. If you like making your own oils, you’ll find some wisdom in being sparing with the essential oils to begin with and I have always found it helpful to write down what I used, how much and what the results were so that I learned things like orange blossom will burn the skin and will literally take over the scent of something if I get more than three drops.

I think its more than worth a mention that memory is catalogued and triggered through sensory experience…scent being the most intense of those triggers for most people. If I just use language, I can likely get your body to respond with imagery:

Roast Turkey

Pine boughs

Peppermint
I am sure that just thinking about at least one of those items aroused scent memories…which then aroused event memories…Yes? Well that fact of how our brain chemistry functions and how our memory is stores is a powerful tool of seduction. Use it mindfully and consciously. You can even teach your Lover to respond to scents that S/he comes to associate with you…it can even effect them so powerfully as to cause orgasm if a random whiff of that scent is caught unexpectedly in a place you didn’t expect to smell it.

Do you have a signature scent? What’s its effect on your Lover?
