I understand your point, but to me the situation that triggers loving, warm and/or erotic feelings isn't seductive in and of itself. I don't feel like my therapy situation with the second therapist who was the most ethical one was seductive despite the fact that it evoked strong feelings in me. I felt seduced only in my experiences with other two therapists who didn't behave ethically and who kept sending mixed messages. So, to me there is no seduction if the other person's behavior isn't seductive or confusing, even if the situation itself makes me feel a certain way about them. But, I guess, that's a matter of how one defines seduction for themselves. May be my definition of seduction is slightly different from yours, that's all.
