The two kinds of seduction are interdependent as described in Kasal's book, "Women, Sex and Addiction," and Schaef's book, "Escape from Intimacy." We will do well to become more aware of the various forms of seduction and recognize that exclusive preoccupation with sexual seductions to the neglect of other supportive forms of seduction will not lead to wise responses to occasions of sexual seduction. Regrettably, much of education is less liberating than it is seductive into exclusive patterns of thought in keeping with dominant paradigms focused upon objectivity, analysis, manipulative understanding, and control. Such seduction rarely gets the attention that a juicy case of sexual seduction gets. Authority figures have too much at stake in the instances of educational seduction to encourage an open and honest dialogue of all that is implied in a real effort to transcend such seduction.
