How they’ve seduced:

Slow, enquiring fingers on your skin in an Edinburgh flat and you took off your pyjamas as something flooded through you and you could not dam it.

Marijuana, once, but you fell asleep.

Alcohol. Champagne always worked best.

Porn. A video to soften you up and you were intrigued at first but the monotony quickly repelled and it was the coldest, most unimaginative fuck you’d ever had.

The urgency in a kiss.

An expensive hotel room that made you feel guilty.

A song that turns you on every time you hear it, a line in it: she only comes when she’s on top: crazeeeee.

Compilation cassettes; and how many men have given you those? Why do they always think they know best? You’d never impose your own taste on them.

Letters. Letters have always worked.

But how would you seduce? How would you guard against scaring a man off?

They seem, often, so flighty, difficult, contrary, easily spooked. And you’re not convinced that it’s the men always chasing for in most of your experiences and your girlfriends’ it’s always the woman biting the bullet and doing the asking out, the hunting down. The looking, the not finding.
