    Ok, I'll play...............Human.

    I am a 15 year old the word seduce in form you asking implies seduction and sex. Which at my age I am not interested in, having yet. But I like to explore the fantasy of.

    I think in seduction there is two sides, the one who is seeking affection, but the other person has to be willing to cave to it, and whether it right or wrong they know it. Seduction usually takes time, either way in the sentence stated.

    It really depended of the age of the two since it could just be someone who is say 4 or 5 years older. There are a lot of girls my age that date boys who are 18, and 19. We're all still in high school. Legally a 18 year old can't date a girl 15, but are put into the same environment.

    Lets even say a teacher because some of them are not much older I have a teacher that is 23, and well all the girls talk about him. I guess cause we like and think he's smart. But I really don't know how we would go about seducing him, especially when dress codes are pretty strict.

    Nothing, well, save being f'ed up in the head. Let's say it's a 14 year old girl trying to seduce an adult male. That child might be looking for affection from a fatherlike figure that she never had. She might be craving attention and affection from that adult so badly, that she will do whatever it takes to *get* that attention and affection, even if that means seducing him. Seduction and affecttion, i need not tell you, are two differnt things, but i think in the eys of a 14 year old, who knows aboslutely nothing about love or sex, might just be desperately looking for something she has never had: a real, true parent figure. Of course the act is deplorable and stupid on both parts. Both are responsible for their actions. i feel so bad for the 14 year old. But even if it's a mental struggle, it still doesn't warrant what she does. She doesn't realize that she's only making things worse for herself, and if she *did* feel something for him (though again, i don't think someone that age has the mental capacity to understand anything about true affection), if word got out about what the adult did, which it would, the consequences that would result would put so much guilt on the 14 year old.

    Many 14 year olds and younger too have crushes, but I've not known many who would actually know how to seduce anyone to the point where the adult would.

    If one of them does, the name for that is dangerous, in this day and age in this western culture as the poster above said.

    If a child can seduce an adult which i supposed to have be more responsible than a child and is desperate enough to be seduced by a child then i would still consider the adult to be a paedophile and the child to be ignorant, careless, and naive.

    This might surprise you but the Scout association encourages their Scouts to go off on their own as thdey get older! When I was 14 I did the duke of edinburgh award scheme, and part of that involved overnight camping without adults - this was easy to arrange, we picked an area we wanted to camp in and found a farm near - gave them a call, said what we were doing and off we went. Now a lot of this of course depends on what you want when you are out camping - if you want the 'luxury' of a commercial campsite then you would have to convice the owners to let you stay, or if you want wild camping is possible too and perhaps easier to arrange. Im guessing as well that you arnt able to travel all over the country to camp so could you give us more informationabout where you want to go - an area and type of campsite, ta.

    A child could try and seduce and adult but if he/she succeeded then the adult is a paedophile.

    The reason for this is that a child is a child and (in the courts minds) doesn't understand the gravity of their actions. An adult is fully aware of the ramifications and so should resist (no matter how tempting) the advances.

    If a relationship were to flourish it would ultimately be the adult's fault for allowing it.

    A pedophile is someone who is attracted to prepubescent children, since most people have achieved some level of physical sexual maturity by that age such an adult would be an ephebophile. In either case, however, under the law the child would be considered a victim even if they were the instigator and the adult would be criminally liable.

    A curious adolescent. Also, to be seduced an adult needs to be receptive to that seduction. An adult can therefore never truly be innocent in those circumstances.

    Immature and still a child. The adult has to be the adult in these situations and stop the child's behavior.
