%X The love experience involves a certain degree of
reciprocity and balance between the partners. However, many patients complain
of difficulty in maintaining their interest in different partners and therefore
extending the relationship beyond the seduction phase. This dynamic resembles
Donjuanism, however, it differs precisely because sexual acting is not
essential for the characterization of the compulsive seduction but the
conquering effort itself. Considering the scarcity of studies and given the
relevance of this phenomenon, research that addresses the issue is fundamental
to understanding the seductive behavior and the establishment of therapeutic approaches
that promote the formation of long lasting emotional bonds, so that the
individuals suffering with this dynamic may, as many of them wish, establish a
family.
