The commonest form of enticement is money, getting money illegally. Money that you are not legitimately entitled. Bribery and Corruption are twin sisters in this regard.
You can be enticed by a woman to fulfill a sexual lust. This may ultimately need to various forms of sexual perversion.
You can be enticed by naked photographs of strange women- pornography.
You can be enticed by greed, getting more than you require, more than you are entitled, more than you need, or more than is fair to you.
You can be enticed by jealousy and envy to commit sins in order to live ‘big’ like your friends and peers.
You can be enticed by evil friends, unbelievers, and sinners. Watch your friends. If you move with sinners, you will likely end up being enticed.
You can be enticed by an adventurous spirit. You just want to try smoking, and try drinking strong wine to have an idea of how it feels. Sins are to be avoided, not to be experimented.
