    When you come to think about it, the art of Reverse Psychology is almost a lost art. The practice of suggesting the person will do the opposite of what you want them to do, which results in them trying to not be so predictable and doing in fact what you want.

    Anyone here claim to be a master of the art?

    What areas have you found it effective, and in what areas ineffective?

    Sure, works great with my 4 year old...right after they fight.

    "You better not hug your brother! I will not allow it!!!"

    They immediately run to each other and hug!

    "Daddy! tell us not kiss either!"

    "And you better not even think about kissing each other!!!"

    yup, they kiss :).

    Tried that once with my wife: "Don't even think about having sex tonite..."

    Didn't work...
