NLP has been touted as a "shortcut" to behavior programming. It is the basis for the Anthony Robbins' program and has proven to be effective.

There is a program called "Speed Seduction" which uses the NLP techniques effectively to seduce women. I know the guy who developed it and he started out in Los Angeles over 10 years ago selling a simple book called: "How to get the women you desire into bed." Now he gives seminars that cost over $800 per person. His approach is to put the women into a pleasant, positive state by asking her to think of a time when pleasant and "feel-good" things occured in her life. He then will touch her arm to "anchor" that feeling for recall at another time by touching that same spot. This can induce reference to those "feel-good" feelings and associate that with the person who is touching that spot! Then, by associating "feel-good" emotions with a certain person can stimulate additional desire to be with that person - for more "feel-good" emotions (hence- seduction).

This is an interesting concept because we've all experienced past emotional associations by hearing certain songs or the nostagic experience of looking at pictures. Those, too, are a form of "anchoring" for future recall.
