FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS i8i submission increases throughout passion, while inducement similarly increases throughout the emotion of captivation. It is of interest to note that while the appetitive series of desire and satisfaction ends with the predominance of a passive emotional element (compliance), even to the point at which the wholly satisfied person falls asleep, the erotic series of passion and captivation naturally becomes more and more active, ending with extremely aggressive inducement activities in complete control. B. Subtle Behavior I. Illustrations a. Girls’ facial expressions and gestures, plainly conveying the meaning “come on over,” are expressive of captivation. Winking the eye, beckoning with finger or head, inviting glances thrown over the shoulder, short skirts or one-piece bathing suits intentionally designed to excite men while still holding them at bay, and various subtle exhibitions of the female body also express captivation. The average man expresses captivation only in a gross way. Men of the Valentino type, however, show this emotion by much the same set of subtler expressions as those used by women toward men. The male captivator, however, expresses his captivation in a slightly more forceful and openly expressive manner. His bodily attitude of independence and languid indifference to female charm is in itself captivating behavior. II. Physiological Expressions a. The physiological expressions of captivation are combinations of those expressed in inducement and submission, with inducement sometimes prevailing. Unlike the combination of dominance and compliance between desire and satisfaction, the bodily expressions of inducement and submission do not counteract or conflict with one another. The prevailing bodily expressions of captivation (internal genital excitement) coexist with the prevailing expression of passion, which is external genital excitement. The two, in fact, tend to enhance each other.
