Seduction is a conquest of the mind, engaging the mind, will and emotions of another and getting them to do what they never intended to do. It has a characteristic of being slow, devious and cunning to the extent that the seduced might never get to realize what is happening until it is very late and the hands are tied. As a result of its diabolic nature, it has resulted in scandalous tidings about a number of highly placed individuals, it is a potent weapon in the arsenal of the women folk and political leaders, it could also be employed by the male folk also, but, irregardless of whoever is involved, seduction can be fended.
It is said that the happy and independent individual can almost not be seduced, this is partly true, but the most important skill of resistance is
Having focus: A focused individual who knows what is at stake and what is to be achieved can almost not be seduced, the reason for this is that energy that could have been directed to frivolities is effectively channeled into productive ventures, unfocused individuals rarely have exerting goals so they can be easily be swayed by whatever is thrown at them. Having a resolute unflinching zeal helps to keep the mind occupied, hence, it prevents the mind from being re-engaged in some other distracting enterprise.
Questioning every motive: Seduction is a contest involving an individual against another or against a group of people: because of this, anyone who could be a prime target of seduction should cultivate the habit of not taking everything at face value, a well trained intuitive perception would read hidden meanings to off hand remarks, chance meetings, facial expressions and gift items. Inasmuch as one is not expected to go paranoid, a fail safe way to protect oneself is to subconsciously read in between the lines in the course of interacting with people, it helps the mind to come up with countermeasures before it gets engaged with deflecting thoughts.
Keeping the right company: Every one has weaknesses, and one of the skills of seasoned seducers is to sniff out the weaknesses of others and open up that breach as much as possible, an effective way to know what makes a target tick is by finding out from close confidants or better still, make use of close associates to achieve foxy ends. A lot is dependent on the company one keeps, as much as possible, it is very crucial to relate more with mature and experienced folks who can help out with sound judgments when the allurements begin.
Praying: The art of reverently petitioning a deity is very important in resisting seduction. Humans are creatures of habit, the fallen nature has a propensity to err, hence trying to do something against the fallen nature might be very hard to accomplish. In the light of this, earnestly beseeching the assistance of a divine entity is necessary to overcome to enticements that daily assail us.
