Hello, I’m attempting to rp the following but don’t want to come off a generic in my behavior or pull the story toward my antics, for the most part I’ve been requesting the DM to tldr my character actions regarding this by just asking for the roles.
I’d like to become better and even involve the party beyond what would typically be “the bard goes with the wench” kinda shtick. Any basic advice for rping seduction to get better deals, information, or whatever I need for the party would be appreciated, thanks.

An interesting challenge might be to play a temptress instead of actually being promiscuous. You lead everyone on to manipulate them, maybe on a lark or because you enjoy flirting. But you secretly fear actually getting close to anyone emotionally because of the chaos of your wild magic and wild life.
It's pretty hard for the "Party Face" to avoid stealing the spotlight. Especially in a group of more passive players.
If your party members are moderately active, you can make a point of sharing the spotlight by incorporating your friends into your seductions. For example, being a really effective wingman, rather than trying to seduce the tavernkeeper directly. Interesting NPCs have developed inner worlds, not all of them are going to be attracted to human females, regardless of Charisma.
Be a generous hedonist. Understand the meaning of "compersion".

True, in one aspect while being the head speaker we were in a house of faith so despite my charisma I let our cleric do the talking
Think about why your character might be wanton and why her default might be seduction and flirting. My current sorcerer started out with a default of being a flirt. She was a bartender but also an Eladrin from the Feywild so just did what she thought would be fun at the time. Most of the time she just used her charisma to get what she needed for the party but would occasionally dip over into outright seduction.
I'm playing a half-elf fiendlock. He has the noble background with the flaw "you have an insatiable appetite for carnal desires". He is a hedonist. By nature the character has the CHA, the means, and the motivations to have sex often. I found that with the DM's sandbox of the world its not detracting to "fade to black" the PC's actions. He is the party Face, and the campaign story moves forward because of how he and the other PC's interact with the world around them.
Be mindful that promiscuous does not imply you seek to hook up with anyone who catches your eye. Have a motivation for your character's actions, and look to align it with the party goals. Do that, and it will work.

Good concept, definitely worth a try since I have no direction thus far. Thanks
