A lot of people have come up to me and ask:
“Frank, what is fractionation seduction?”
“What does the fractionation seduction technique do to a woman?”
“How to use fractionation seduction tactics to build emotional connection with a woman?”
All fair questions.
Now, here’s the thing:
Fractionation is a deep subject. (The fact that I have a collection of articles on it should tell you something.)
I’ll try to explain it in the simplest way possible. Let’s go!
What's Inside This Guide
What Fractionation Is (In Simple Terms)
I’ll explain first what Fractionation is with an example.
Recall a time when you’re driving your car. It’s a place where you go often. So, it’s a route that is familiar to you.
After you start driving, you may feel that your mind is drifting off somewhat. You may think of many things, but you won’t think consciously about “driving”.
You enter a state which is almost dreamlike. Your subconscious mind takes over the driving. It lets your conscious mind think (about other things).
Then, suddenly, an errant driver cuts your lane. You slam your brakes. Your conscious mind takes over again, and you’re focused on the road.
After the incident, you drift off again. And this time, you get into an even deeper dreamlike state.
You reach your destination. You wonder how you get there without “consciously” telling yourself to drive there.
What happened?
How The Subconscious Mind Works
Every day, our mind tends to drift from one dreamlike state to another.
In these dreamlike states, our subconscious mind takes over.
This is normal. Imagine if we need to think over every single action consciously. It would be impossible to function in the real world.
Makes sense, right?
Now, let’s talk more about these dreamlike states.
These dreamlike states are usually be shallow and short. They might as short as a couple of microseconds.
The deeper states can last for minutes or even hours.
So, what makes a subconscious state shallow or deep?
Here’s the answer…
Fractionation Deepens Subconscious States
One simple way to describe Fractionation is to use the analogy of an alarm clock.
It’s 6.30am, and your alarm clock goes off.
You feel groggy. It’s Monday morning. You decide to sleep a little more. Maybe another ten minutes. So, you hit “Snooze”.
6.40am. The alarm goes off again. You were just starting to doze off! So, you hit “Snooze” another time.
6.50am. The darn alarm rings. You feel really tired. You promise yourself to wake up for real… in ten minutes.
7.00am. Alarm goes off for the fourth time. You drag yourself out from the bed. You feel a lot more tired than you did when you first woke up at 6.30am.
What happened?
Here’s what:
Fractionation.
Going OUT of the subconscious state and then going IN again will deepen the intensity of the state.
Fractionation is the process of going in and out of a subconscious state, again and again.
And when your mind fractionates between deep and shallow states, what happens? You will go deeper and deeper into trance.
Simple, right?
Now that you understand what Fractionation is, then you’ll realize that it is all around us.
For example, when you’re watching a movie, you may get yourself so engrossed in it that you “forget” that it’s a movie.
Romance novels are captivating for (most) women. Why? Because the authors wrote them with one thing in mind:
To put the reader into trance.
How?
Each scene or chapter in the book is written to put the reader in a short trance. Then, the reader is pull out of the trance, and then back into trance. Again, and again.
The result? Emotional addiction. Many (most) women just can’t quit romance novels no matter how hard they try. It’s true.
Really, romance novel writers are the true masters of Fractionation!
And this is where it gets exciting…
Similarly, you can use Fractionation to get an edge in your relationships with women.
This is where “Fractionation Seduction” techniques come to play.
How To Use Fractionation In Seduction
Let’s shift gears and talk about how Fractionation first got used in seduction.
For many years, Fractionation’s usage had been limited in hypnotherapy.
Interestingly, it’s possible to use Fractionation on yourself.
In fact, many use the technique to hypnotize themselves. However, the results of self-Fractionation are usually not that great1.
Indeed, we know that Fractionation works best when used by one person on another. This gives a huge clue on why Fractionation is best used in seduction.
In 2012, Derek Rake’s Shogun Method came into existence.
(You may know Derek Rake as the pioneer of using Fractionation in seduction. Of course, he doesn’t like the term “seduction” at all. After all, his mantra is “Enslavement, Not Seduction”.)
Shogun Method’s philosophy about love is quite different:
“Attraction is not enough. To make a relationship last, emotional enslavement is necessary. And Shogun Method gives you the way to enslave a woman emotionally.”
Derek Rake
And how does one enslave a woman emotionally?
Well, you guessed it – with Fractionation.
Fractionation Seduction: The IRAE Model
How to emotionally enslave a woman?
Well, that is the entire premise of Shogun Method. It is a detailed procedure which Shoguns (i.e. people who practices Shogun Method) use.
This procedure is known as the “IRAE Model”. There are four steps in the model:
- Step One: “Intrigue” (or the “I” stage)
- Step Two: “Rapport” (or the “R” stage)
- Step Three: “Attract” (or the “A” stage)
- Step Four: “Enslave” (or the “E” stage)
What is interesting about this model is that the sequence is fixed strictly in that order. This means…
- You shouldn’t be developing Rapport with a woman if you have not Intrigued her
- You shouldn’t be attempting to Attract her without enough Rapport
- You shouldn’t start Enslaving her emotionally if she is not Attracted to you
This explains why most men fail with women. They jump straight to “Attract” stage without first building Intrigue or Rapport. Or worse, they tried using Enslavement techniques on a woman who barely knows them!
These are the mistakes that Shoguns know not to make.
So, how does Fractionation fit into the process of emotional enslavement then? Where in the IRAE Model would Fractionation be at?
The answer: all four IRAE stages.
Fractionation is one of those “Swiss Army” tools which you can use in many situations. As a mind control technique, it’s quite versatile.
How To Make A Woman Addicted To You Emotionally
Remember the example I gave you earlier about romance novels?
Do you want to make a woman addicted to you emotionally like how she is addicted to romance novels?
With Fractionation, you can. In fact, it may well be the man’s most effective way to control a woman emotionally.
Romance novels and movies bring a woman in and out of trance repeatedly. You can use Fractionation to exploit the same “flaw” in her mind. And when this happens, she will crave for you like nothing else.
And when she realizes that only YOU can feed into her emotional addiction, then what happens?
She will be emotionally enslaved to you – possibly for life.
I gotta warn you, though… because this can be a good thing, or a bad thing.
Once you enslave a woman emotionally, you can’t simply “snap” your fingers and make it stop.
This is true especially for a woman who is psychologically unsound. (Many women are.)
You will risk damaging her emotional health. Surely you don’t want this to happen to anyone, much less on a woman you care about.
Is Fractionation Evil?
This brings us to the question:
Is Fractionation evil?
After all, we are talking about emotional enslavement here. This is no child’s play.
Fractionation Is Neither “Good” Or “Bad”
My stand on Fractionation is simple:
Fractionation is a tool. You can use it for good, or for bad.
A knife is a tool. You can use it to cut your food, or to hurt someone.
In other words, like other tools, Fractionation is morally neutral.
It depends entirely on your intentions.
When you fall in love with a woman, you want her to be happy. Indeed, you will want to do a lot of things to make her happy.
And if one of those things is to use Fractionation or Shogun Method on her, then guess what?
You should go ahead and use Fractionation on her.
After all, you will both end up in a happy relationship which will last for a long time. Therefore, using Fractionation or Shogun Method on her is worth it.
Makes sense, right?
Fractionation Does Not Rob Someone Of Her Free Will
Indeed, Fractionation can sound quite manipulative.
In fact, Derek Rake freely embraces the “manipulative” nature of Shogun Method:
The truth is that the world works on manipulation. If you’re making a woman fall in love with you, you’re manipulating her feelings.
I disagree with Derek on this.
(You might be interested in the review of Shogun Method that I had written here.)
Still, as a hypnosis technique, Fractionation is linked to psychological manipulation.
Fortunately, science debunks this. A 2015 study by researcher Jose Aguado concluded that hypnosis is not manipulative2
I conclude that the main difference in the case of hypnosis lies in the ease with which one can exit that enhanced state of suggestibility.
Or, in layman terms:
A woman can decide to stop talking to you. She is free to do so anytime.
(This was what Dr Aguado meant by “one can exit that enhanced stage of suggestibility”.)
She can stop reading the romance novel if she wants, right? Nobody is forcing her to finish the book.
Similarly, you’re not forcing her to do anything.
The truth is that she probably WANTS you to Fractionate her – out of her free will.
Is Fractionation Legit?
Short answer: yes, Fractionation is legit.
I will admit this, though:
Fractionation is hard.
(Yes, even Derek Rake admits this.)
Search online and you’ll find the results to be mixed: the good, the bad and the downright awful…
This is, of course, natural. There’s nothing that works 100%, Fractionation included.
Here’s the thing, though…
From experience, I can tell you one thing for sure:
Guys who don’t get any results from Fractionation is usually doing it wrong.
I don’t blame them, though.
Many first learn about Fractionation from online forums and the social media. And guess what? There’s a huge problem with this…
The information on Fractionation those sites are inaccurate, wrong, or fake.
The other day, I stumbled upon the Black Rose Sequence shared online.
(The Black Rose Sequence is a story or routine based on Fractionation. The “holy grail” of Fractionation, it shows how the technique can be used to great effect.)
And because the Black Rose Sequence was protected inside the Shogun Method community, I was curious to find it on an open forum. And guess what?
It was FAKE!
What if you use this fake version of the Black Rose Sequence on the woman you want to seduce?
Would you be surprised if you fall flat on your face?
No, right?
Now, here’s the thing…
If you are serious about Fractionation, you should head straight to the source: Derek Rake.
You can get a taster of the (real) Fractionation technique in his free masterclass. Remember, though, that his best material is inside the Shogun Method community.
And yes, it’s a community. Derek coaches the users of Shogun Method himself where he answers questions daily. You will certainly not get that kind of service with a “Pickup Artist” ebook!
I don’t agree with Derek about everything. But when it comes to Fractionation, he hits it out of the park.
