Seduction: 10 Ways for Women to Bring Passion Back into the Bedroom

When it comes to relationships, there are times when the intimacy can become a bit boring. It is the responsibility of both partners to keep the intimacy fresh, fun, and alive. The word Seduction has become synonymous with a negative and manipulative action, but it can be made to be a positive action for the sake of our relationships intimacy, and possibly the survival of it. Seduction can be used to reignite the passion that our relationships began with.

Seduction has been an art since the times of Bathsheba, Helen of Troy, Hsi Shi, and of course, Cleopatra. These women learned the power of seduction and used it to gain the power that they desired. It started out as a way for women to gain power in a male dominated world. In time, men began to realize this power, and certain men, the Duke de Lauzun, the Spaniards who inspired the Don Juan legend, Casanova, Ninon de l’Enclos, were the first to learn to use these techniques as a way to overcome young women, and get them into bed (Greene, 2001).

As I watched the South Korean television drama “The Moon Embracing the Sun” on Netflix, the Crown Princess’s father says to her “Don’t you know how to seduce your husband?”.  They had never consummated their marriage because he despised her. Their marriage was one of a political alliance, but they needed an heir, and he just couldn’t bring himself to consummate it. That made me think about the power of Seduction.

“We all have the power of attraction—the ability to draw people in and hold them in our thrall. Far from all of us, though, are aware of this inner potential, and we imagine attractiveness instead as a near—mystical trait that a select few are born with and the rest will never command. Yet all we need to do to realize our potential is understand what it is in a person’s character that naturally excites people and develop these latent qualities within us.”~The Art of Seduction

When the excitement in the bedroom goes south, do we just let it dwindle as a normal part of being in a long term relationship? Or do we realize the importance of intimacy as a part of our union, our needs, and our happiness. Even if you think that it’s no big deal, once you get back into the swing of things, you will realize that it IS a big deal. When you get that click in your head that lets you know “I need to do something to add some passion back into our relationship”, it’s time for a night of Seduction. These are some things that you can do whenever the passion gets stale. Learn to Seduce your man, as a means of keeping the “irons in the fire”.

There are many things that you can do to spice up things in the bedroom:

1.      So why not start with sexy little text messages throughout the day. Plan your day and night ahead of time, and give him little tidbits of the details of your evening together. Or if you know that he likes dirty talk, then send him an arousing text that will catch him off guard. He will be pleasantly distracted all day, and this will create anticipation.


2.      Whether you decide to go out to eat, or make his favorite meal, make sure that you dress in sexy attire that will certainly get his attention. It is sexy to wear something to flatter your figure, and it’s more seductive to cover-up. A little cleavage won’t hurt though. You can save scantily clad for the bedroom.  Red is always an eye-catcher. (Just a suggestion). And heels are very sexually appealing, at a restaurant, in the house, or in the bedroom.

3.      If you go out to eat, sit next to each other, and do a lot of touching and kissing. Having a drink or two can lighten the mood and make you both a little frisky. Flirt with him in your SEXY voice (which is a low, soft, pleasant tone), and make sure that there’s a lot of eye contact.  Putting certain foods in your mouth slowly while maintaining eye contact, can be very seductive.

4.      Going out dancing can be very sensual, especially Latin dancing. If you need to get lessons, try to get them together. This will be an investment in your relationship.  You can also put some nice slow music on in the bedroom, and “slow drag” to the music.

5.      Taking a shower together is a great way to get each other in the mood. You might not make it out of the shower before your day/night of Seduction pays off, but try to refrain, and help wash each other’s backs. Then again, that can be your starting point. It’s a nice change to have sex outside of the bedroom.

6.      If you decide to shower alone, make sure that you enter the bedroom in a new sexy nighty, or a pretty bra and panty set. You don’t always have to wear a nightgown. You may be tempted to just come out nude, which is fine, but there’s something sexy about having something on, and letting him take it off of you. There is also the visual that you create while in sexy lingerie, that becomes mental food for the memory banks.

7.      Giving your man a massage is almost always a way to get him aroused. Even if he gives you a massage, it can have the same effect. There are plenty of nicely scented massage oils that you can use, or you can just use some lotion. Getting a book on massage techniques can be very beneficial to you both.

8.     Giving your man a footbath and footmassage, and or a hand massage can also cause arousal. Getting that massage book can help you with the best techniques to give a pleasurable foot or hand massage.

9.      For some, role playing is a great way to Seduce. Pretending to be someone else might even help you with some inhibitions. You can create an alter ego, to do things that you would NEVER do as yourself. Buying different wigs can also help with role playing. I don’t think that he will mind a bit.
