Review Detail

A very meaty bonus

The Escalation Ladder is a bonus ebook you receive when purchasing Vin DiCarlo's main ebook - The Attraction Code . It is an ideal companion to the main book because it gives you very practical, physical steps to take when talking to women (something the main book lacks, since it’s mostly about mindset).

At 26 pages and with GREAT content, this is a very meaty and valuable bonus that is close to being a product by itself.

From covert to overt

DiCarlo start by classifying different moves into different classes – from covert to overt, from accidental to obvious. Using those, you get her used to your touch, little by little, step by step – ranging from light touch on her lower back to brushing her hair. This happens over a longer period of time – a couple of hours.

DiCarlo notes that most men will touch a woman’s face too early – women are surprisingly protective of their face area (including neck and hair).

We then move on to the Escalation Ramp, which is leading up to kissing…and more. This happens much faster… and this is the time NOT to screw up, or all your previous efforts might be ruined.

I liked that DiCarlo really breaks it down, and makes important distinctions that are well-known to advanced guys yet not often talked about – such as skin touching, focusing on the areas she likes most, etc. Using push-pull and a “2 steps forward one step back” approach, you build your way up while avoiding boring her (by moving too slow) or startling her (by moving too fast).

It “just happens”

There is a technique in there that I’ve never seen before (and for me that is pretty rare) – lifting the girl shirt, and yours, and hugging her so that your stomachs are in contact. DiCarlo points out that the only time this usually happens is during sex, and therefore this sends shivers down her spine. I can see the logic in that, but I can also see it being weird/uncomfortable (although he does say this should only be used in isolation). I will have to field test this. Anyway, points for originality here.

Another excellent point is that kissing/ touching the breasts is NOT a necessary step. You can skip it if it makes the girl uncomfortable, and it won’t stop anything happening.

DiCarlo explains that using body parts such as your thighs, forearms etc to stimulate her body creates less resistance, because it “seems” accidental, like it “just happens”, and therefore doesn’t ring any alarm bells. Of course this doesn’t make sense on a logical level, but nobody is thinking logically when aroused.

The last few pages go into even more detailed sexual tricks that I will not cover here, both to avoid giving everything away and because it gets pretty graphic. But there are more fresh, quality ideas there.

One small gripe

One point I totally disagree with: he suggest to actually ask “Do you want me inside you?” or “Do you want me to get a condom?” before you actually cross the ultimate line.

That is terrible advice. I’m not sure why DiCarlo doesn’t realize it, since the whole book is about escalating incidentally and not being obvious about it. Verbalizing your moves is as obvious as it gets – and more often than not it creates strong resistance. It’s just unnecessary, and a very amateurish thing to do.

You can ignore that piece of advice – the only wrong part in the book.

An excellent bonus for a great book

While I wouldn’t suggest you memorize this (and I don’t think DICarlo would either) this will be useful to determine whether you are currently doing some moves at inappropriate times, and how to escalate smoothly.

A lot of this stuff has been common “seduction community” knowledge for a long time, but I’ve never seen it presented so clearly and exhaustively. There are also a lot of tips that are original and fresh. Overall, an awesome bonus.

This ebook can’t be bought by itself. To get it, you simply purchase The Attraction Code and this ebook will come as a bonus. Check out our review for details on The Attraction Code.
