Is it a 'seductive' situation when you're castaway on an isolated island (literally or metaphorically/emotionally) and bond with the nearest friendly-looking thing?

But whatever--**** it, I won't argue semantics when I agree with the principle of the thing. So, good poll.
That's what I was trying to say. Seduction to me implies an intent, may be not conscious but still an intent, which I associate with the behavior, not the situation. But that is a matter of personal definitions, I think.
