By Mélanie Gourarier
English

Heterosexual seduction is marked by an asymmetrical differentiation within male and female commitments, which shapes a sexual economy of desire. Drawing from an ethnographic survey involving a group of men who place the acquisition of seduction skills at the core of their practices, this paper examines the norms regulating heterosexual encounters and acknowledges the diversity of exchanges within seduction relationships.
