Neil Strauss: " Is [LMR] a technique designed to push someone to do something they DON'T want to do...or is it a technique designed to make someone comfortable with something they WANT to do but are just nervous about...?

What is your stance on some PUA/seduction concepts like 'last minute resistance' (LMR), where a woman will resist advancing to sex. Many practitioners of PUA/seduction offer advice and 'tricks' on how to get a woman to stop resisting sex. How do you feel about that?

Neil's response:

You raise a good question, much more rational than your username would imply. And the answer is: Is it a technique designed to push someone to do something they DON'T want to do (in which case it's not only immoral but possibly illegal) or is it a technique designed to make someone comfortable with something they WANT to do but are just nervous about (in which it can end up being a great experience for both people)?

Honestly, I have butted heads with the "evil subreddit" 1000 times over this issue. But the way he talks and the way he acts, even online, makes his words so much more powerful.

Geez, I should stop studying the theory and start doing a little more practice.
