Among human beings, sexual pursuit takes many forms. Some forms, like courtship, are morally innocuous. Other forms, like
rape, are categorically immoral. Still other forms are provisionally immoral. Such forms of sexual pursuit involve a wrongful
element sufficient to render them wrongful on balance
provided that this wrongful element is not counterbalanced by even more important competing moral considerations. Here my focus is a particular
form of provisionally immoral sexual pursuit,
unsavory sexual seduction, or
unsavory seduction for short.
