Towards a Definition of Seduction
The concept of "seduction" is often referred to, but it has never been strictly defined. This page explores several possible definitions of "seduction."
Seduction is the process of deliberately enticing another person into an act. The word can have a negative connotation, either seriously or mildly (and also used jokingly), and may refer to an act that the other may later regret and/or would normally not want to do.
Seduction most commonly refers to the use of sexual desire in order to persuade someone to change their behavior to meet the desires of the seducer
It is usually implied that the seducer is acting out of a motive other than love for the seducee, and that the object of the seduction would not ordinarily have engaged in such behavior
There are many strategies that can be used for seduction, depending on sex, personality and circumstances. Many social behavior theorists classify seduction as a specialized form of persuasion. Seduction can also be viewed as a form of power that relies on psychological mastery rather than the use of coercive power, money, or intellectual appeals."
In the community, "seduction" has ceased to have the negative connotation described above. In fact, we find it ridiculous that wanting to have sex with someone and acting in a way to bring that about is often automatically seen as a bad thing in our society.

Other Concepts of Seduction
If we want a woman to sleep with us, we need to create a context in which she will commit to expressing her attraction to us. It is very similar to what a woman does when she wants to have a relationship (sexual or otherwise) with a man. She needs to create a context in which he will commit to expressing his emotions to her. [1]
Based on this concept, seducing a woman would entail "creating a context in which she will commit to expressing her attraction to us."
