Seduction is basically the manipulation of another person with the intent of using them to satisfy a sexual desire. I can't see that being good in any real way. It might work for a one night stand, but it's certainly no way to foster a meaningful relationship with another person.

Now one can argue that the basis of all romantic relationships is the desire for sex. There's a lot of truth to that, too, but that sexual desire needs to be tempered with respect for your fellow human and love and concern that a sexual relationship won't cause any harm to the person you're enjoying it with. Seduction doesn't care about any of that, though. It only cares about quenching the fire in one's loins.
