Seduction Review

The Secrets of Advanced, Irresistible Arousal program is a short DVD product from Ross Jeffries and Speed Seduction. It is a cheaper than usual Speed Seduction product selling at $49.95 plus shipping and is contained on one DVD edited down from seminar work. Ross Jeffries hasn’t produced a complete seminar video (as was his prior preference) since 2002. Instead the focus for retail products is on one area of seduction process, by the Speed Seduction use of language; of processing; of state control and suggestion. This one is on sexual arousal. It was released in 2005 and is available from www.seduction.com

The DVD has four chapters and a bonus section. There is quite a lot of demonstration on this video, so a brief synopsis and some highlights:

Beginning. The introduction part includes some visual and feeling process demonstration with anchors and escalation. Also here we are shown Ross Jeffries’ Twin Brother’s material and patterning that qualifies a woman’s feelings. For demonstration purposes, some examples are deliberately exaggerated, but this enhances it as a teaching tool of a specific technique.

Scenarios. The second part focuses on presenting scenarios, recognising responses and anchoring those responses.

Using Her Responses. This part focuses deeper on the processes and flow of feelings. The self-anchors that constitute those feelings and the effective use of reflecting self anchors. All in all some quality demonstration, the woman in the video does have strong responses to the work Ross Jeffries does.

Ramping It Higher. The fourth part has work on comfort and pleasure. Ross mentions using, what he terms “the illusion of participation” and getting her to respond positively. The idea of synaesthesia is also explored, a useful theme for much of this work. And, as the chapter title would suggest, this section deals with enhancing the experience using language, visualisation and anchors.

The Bonus Section is about physical touch. A bit on massage and energy centres from Ross Jeffries experience. Using the same ideas on process and anchors previously explored in this video.

From the DVD

The video presents a relaxed atmosphere for learning this stuff and the demonstrations of material are very good.

Very little in the way of ideas is touched upon, but applying the concept of SRT or Signal Recognition Technology is advanced within this program. Signal Recognition was introduced in the 2002 Hyper Responsive seminar. The explanation for it within this DVD can’t match the coverage it receives on that set, but it is at least given enough attention that a new method of using it is available, and the concept is introduced enough for those who had never heard of SRT before.

At the start of the marketing spiel for Irresistible Arousal, it is pointed out that this is not a beginner’s product in a somewhat alarmist manner. There is one reason that I can see this is the case. There is a distinct lack of context and explanation upon the process of the techniques. There is no sign of explanation on the techniques use within the seduction frame as Ross Jeffries sees it. There are other introductory Speed Seduction products, this is not one of them, this is a demonstration DVD. The techniques are there for us, on show using real women, if in a somewhat contrived environment.

Summary

Obviously, one of the great strengths of this video is in seeing the application of Speed Seduction “process language” patterning with women.

Given the lack of explanation as to what is happening, someone new to seduction method – specifically to Speed Seduction method will not have much of an idea of how what is happening is happening. Thus rendering it difficult to follow and recreate, different for a student familiar with Speed Seduction method. The marketing warns against beginners, but note also the startling and ridiculous comic statement on seduction.com to prevent “this product getting into the wrong hands”.

Despite the relatively cheaper price of $49.95 that may suggest an introductory price, this DVD is useful for the Speed Seduction purist looking to see some suggestion and process applications at work. Also for the seduction student who uses some suggestion and process language (a dying breed) this offers a good demonstration. But demonstration that may be unnecessary for you if you are a guy who either uses very little suggestion and state change demonstration with women, or a guy who is already having success with this approach to seduction.

Some of Ross Jeffries work is innovative and new. However, the last real wholesale advances came in 2002 with a new model for Speed Seduction introduced. There is new material here, but no advancement on what has already been taught. The obvious advantage here is to see sexual arousal state control techniques in use by their innovator.

The first review that I thought I’d upload to the new wordpress home of Seduction Review is aptly the original seduction study course ‘The Basic Speed Seduction Home Study Course’.

Available from www.seduction.com for $245.00 plus shipping.
The Speed Seduction Home Study course dates back to a time when seduction technology was wholly different. The past two and a half years, I’d say, have seen a fundamental shift in the way seduction is approached. But is the study course (which dates originally from 1994 and was released in its present incarnation in 2000) of value today?

The review below was originally published in August 2003. As with all the reviews on this site, I’ve reviewed (re-reviewed if you will) the material, techniques etc. again and edited the original post with insights from a contemporary perspective. Enjoy

The Review

What You Get: The course comes on 12 CDs and a manual (the manual, while useful, is not an essential teaching element). The supplementary materials are a copy of Ross Jeffries’ original book; training ‘flash’ cards; introductory booklets.

What is the premise: With the Speed Seduction foundation coming from the field of NLP (that mixed bag field of linguistics, psychology and hypnosis for ‘effective’ understanding, communication and change) you get a product here that sets out to deliver self-change AND teach the fundamentals of language patterns designed to invoke positive emotional responses. Ross Jeffries (the creator of Speed Seduction) …
The periodical interludes form master hypnotist Mark Cunningham, who’s gift for re-framing and personal insights are of considerable importance to the effectiveness

What About Practical Application. It is a difficult task to entirely validate the process of the language based applications. It can often seem a subjective exercise when talking about depth of trance or process language. Learning patterns and the fundamentals of pattern language is a practicable exercise. Offering the specific examples provides an out-the-box solution and you can get stuck in. There is the practical limitations of Speed Seduction to consider, it is a system that is difficult to use in nightclubs. I have had success with using it in clubs, but it remains a predominantly semantic product that relies on the subtleties of it’s language applications for results – that is difficult in a bar atmosphere (Ross Jeffries is open about never using Speed Seduction in bars or clubs).

The last couple of CDs has on-stage demonstrations of the material in practice (by Ross and by a student). This, despite the contrived surroundings, is of immense benefit.

An understanding of the principles of communication that Speed Seduction pioneered used to be essential to practitioners of seduction (Pickup Artists or PUAs if you accept that somewhat crude term). But many men are having success without studying the hypnotic communications of Speed Seduction (or ever studying any related NLP or ‘psychology of communication’ material).

Is it then just a matter of choice, do you choose Speed Seduction if you feel it fits your style of game or to learn how to add specific language processes to your seduction? My first reaction is to say no, that you should learn the fundamentals but I remind myself that my introduction to seduction and pickup was through Speed Seduction …

The process of Speed Seduction is certainly not redundant, the recent trends in seduction technology have seen a move away from linguistic process into a more anthropology based seduction. What I mean is that the process of attraction and seduction can be communicated by specifically instigating an emotional response (the Speed Seduction way), not least because of our vast capacities for imagination and the role semantics plays in this. But the processes can, quite naturally, be communicated through hard-wired attraction cues that have evolved in our species (the more popular approach in seduction technology today). These aren’t mutually exclusive schools, but for the sake of clear categories it is so.

One thing is certain, Ross Jeffries is the father of modern seduction. And Speed Seduction remains today the only one of its kind. You do learn things in Speed Seduction that are not taught anywhere else. An essential quality of a good seduction product.

Summary. I can recommend the Speed Seduction Home Study course, I can’t say it’s essential. It is, however, of real value – this approach is always of real value. Even if it is not a core learning anymore.
