Yes, they are. First and foremost try not to take it too seriously. I don't know if this will help, but try reading these and other related books to be enlightened on this human condition:
1. The Art of Seduction, by Robert Greene (Amusing/sarcastic vignettes in human history about the subject)
2. 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene (same genre)
3. Get Anyone to Do Anything: Never Feel Powerless Again -- With Psychological Secrets to Control and Influence Every Situarion, by David J. Lieberman (more clinical)
4. Never Be Lied to Again: How to Get the Truth in 5 Minutes or Less in Any Conversation or Situation, by David J. Lieberman (also more clinical)
Check with Amazon.com for related topics. The first step for a victim of seduction is being aware of the foibles of the human condition, and then just laugh, or do a round of Spring Forest Qigong active exercises.
Hey wait a minute! I think Paul Scheele seduced me to buy Spring Forest Qigong :-)
