A more fruitful approach might be to consider "seduction" as a class of
behaviors rather than an item of behavior, in such a way that the context
of that class gives the individual behaviors their specific meaning. The
most classical example of this is the meaning of the phrase "do you have a
light?", which takes on a totally different meaning in a proper seductive
context :-)
