They lure in their targets, like the sirens of Odysseus,
through their image and teases. Crafting the perfect
seductive pose for their target.
Rakes insatiably adore the opposite sex, and their desire
is infectious.
Unlike the normal, cautious male, the Rake is
delightfully unrestrained, a slave to his love of women.
There is the added lure of his reputation: so many
women have succumbed to him, there has to be a reason.
Remember: it is the form that matters, not the content.
The less your targets focus on what you say, and the
more on how it makes them feel, the more seductive
your effect. Give your words a lofty, spiritual, literary
flavor the better to insinuate desire in your unwitting
victims.
To play the Rake, the most obvious requirement is the
ability to let yourself go, to draw a woman into the kind
of purely sensual moment in which past and future lose
meaning. You must be able to abandon yourself to the
moment.
