At its extreme, it's seduction. Dracula isn't batting his eyes at potential victims or asking if it hurt much when they fell from heaven, ffs.

"Eroticism" describes very accurately and well. And if you think the story of Dracula just about blood or "all about the homicide"... I'm sorry, but you don't get it. It's impossible to separate the blood drinking from the eroticism and to a lesser extent, the sexuality behind it.

And I never said I wanted to separate it. You clearly aren't understanding what I'm saying. Yes, the eroticism is part and parcel of Dracula's methods. That doesn't make him sexual, though. He himself doesn't experience sexual attraction. He uses the sexual attraction of others. He uses eroticism to get what he wants. But he's not sexual. Other adaptions have made him so. But in the original book he is not.

Flirting and seduction are synonyms to me as I think flirting can mean more than just "batting eyes." But okay, seduction then. Eroticism. I think my point still stands. We're just going to have to agree to disagree. I just don't see Dracula as being himself sexual in the book.
