MOLLY MAXWELL (2013): A Canadian Teen Initiates Oral Sex on High School Teacher

Molly Maxwell (2013) is yet another film about a romance between a high school student and her English teacher, but this time they're Canadian!

Here's IMDb's summary:

At Phoenix Progressive School, where everyone tries to outdo each other with creative self-expression, 16-year-old Molly Maxwell (Lola Tash) would rather be invisible than risk revealing herself as completely ordinary. When her young [26-year-old], handsome, disillusioned English teacher (Charlie Carrick) enters the picture and allows her to just be herself, Molly is suddenly able to flourish. As their student-teacher bond becomes more intimate, she begins putting herself on the line in unexpected ways while pursuing what she wants. But with each awkward, beautiful step towards an impossible romance, Molly risks alienating everyone she loves.

In the film, Molly aggressively initiates a romantic affair with Ben - the new member of the high school English department. 

Molly desperately wants to lose her virginity to her English teacher - so much so, that she, literally, rips her clothes off on several occasions, but Ben but stops short of sex, because he feels that it's "just wrong"; however, as a compromise, Ben allows Molly to initiate oral sex. 

Frustrated, Ben said to Molly, "200 years ago no one would have any problem if I took you as my child bride." But Ben is off by about 100 years. For instance, in 1981, 29-year-old Charlie Chaplin married 16-teen-year-old Mildred Harris and, per My Life with Chaplin, he: “[...] drew gasps and condemnations only from a small section of the public.”

Teen Vogue and Tavi Gevinson would be proud of Molly's mom, who gifted Molly a copy of Confidence Through Healthy Teen Sexuality and a (large) waterproof variable speed pink vibrator. (BTW, Teen Vogue recommends the magic wand for teens.) 

Lastly, Molly was spotted reading Lolita. Was Molly reading Nabokov's masterpiece for tips? Did Molly opine, like novelist Robertson Davies, that Lolita is: “[...] not [about] the corruption of an innocent child by a cunning adult, but [about] the exploitation of a weak adult by a corrupt child.” 

Las que empiezan a los quince años (1978): The Beginning [of TeenProstitution] at Age 15 [in Spain]

As there doesn't appear to be any subtitles and despite the fact that I live in New York, I was able to understand very little of Spain's Las que empiezan a los quince años (1978) [English: The Beginning at Age 15]; therefore, let's rely on Andrabem's IMDB post:

"Las que empiezan a los quince años" tells the story of the sexual adventures of three fifteen-year-old girls: Elisa, Marian and Susi.

Elisa lives with her father and her stepmother. Her father, drown in debts by reason of bad business decisions, has to run away from his debtors. Elisa remains with her stepmother that has no love left for her. Soon Elisa is out in the streets. One of the roads left for her is [teen] prostitution. Her life will be one of many adventures and misadventures.

Marian, very early in her life, became a prostitute. She had known a good-looking [much older] guy in a party. She falls in love with him, but in reality he's a pimp. One day they have a fight and Marian decides to become independent. She opens the doors of the cars and ask the drivers if they want some company. On seeing this beautiful Lolita, many say that, yes, they could do with a bit of company.

Susi's family has no financial problems. Her father works a lot and is always absent, but her mother likes and understands her. Susi likes girls. She sometimes plays innocent little [nymphet lesbian] games with Elisa and Marian.

The film offers a rosy vision of [teen] prostitution, but anyway it had no intention at all of being a documentary. The film wants to titillate, and it delivers. The [teen] girls frequently take off their clothes, make love, laugh...

I'll add that Elisa (Sonia Blanca), unlike Marian, isn't drawn to prostitution. Consequently, Elisa, to the chagrin of her stepmother, (eventually) rebuffs the advances of a middle-aged john. However, Elisa is attracted to older men. For example, she goes home with a seemingly wealthy man whom treats her like an adult by giving her a drink and a smoke, but instead of charming the nymphet, he drugs and rapes Elisa. In addition, Elisa is raped by a businessman after he witnesses her seductively cleaning at the office. However, in the end, Elisa does have, at least, one consensual age-gap love affair. 

Famous Teleiophile: Lena Dunham & Middle School Girls Gone Wild

I wrote about Lena Dunham in The Allure of Nymphets. For example, I wrote that before Lena’s Girls premiered on HBO, among other projects, she had two movies premiere at South by Southwest. Her first full-length movie, Creative Nonfiction (2009), is about Ella (Lena Dunham) and her struggles with having a romantic relationship with her dorm-mate and her need to finish a screenplay in time to graduate. In the opening scene, Ella described the plot summary of her screenplay to her dorm-mate and love interest:

“OK, so there's this girl. She's in high school. She's taken up with her English teacher. And he loves her poetry; you know, which is how the whole thing starts. And it's like that whole kinda like, see me after class thing. And he takes her away to this cabin that he has, which is in the country [...] And he keeps her there for three years. He just kinda makes her sit there at a typewriter and write. And you'd think she'd be miserable, but instead she's sorta under this like spell of creative happiness [...] I find the theft and abuse of minors funny.” [Emphasis added]

And on the second episode of season two of Girls, which won a Golden Globe for 'Best Comedy Series', Hannah's (Lena Dunham) roommate shockingly suggested that Hannah wear an outfit that was, "[...] inspired by a girl I went to middle school with who fucked both her uncle and her step-dad." (Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, a long-time producer and television writer, co-write that line.)

That's just a sampling of what I wrote about Dunham, but I'll be adding some notes from her memoir to the 2nd edition of The Allure of Nymphets that sheds light on Dunham's life and what influenced her to write about the hilarity of “[...] the theft and abuse of minors [...]” and a middle school girl who, “[...] fucked both her uncle and her step-dad.”

Here are some highlights from Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl:

Lena shared that she had (at least) one “sex dream” about her father (p. xiii)

Lena “[...] learned to masturbate the summer after third grade (≈ nine-years-old).” She read in a puberty book that an orgasm would feel like a “sneeze”, but she wrote that it actually felt like a “seizure”. (p. 16)

Juliana, Lena's ninth grade friend (≈ fourteen-years-old), “[...] had sex – in an alleyway, no less, with a twenty-year-old guy [...]” (p. 27)

Lena was “[...] fond of pretending a ghost was touching her nonbreasts against her will [...]” (p. 41)

When Lena was 9-years-old and out perusing a newsstand with her nanny, the man who owned the newsstand looked at her, which sent a “shiver” down Lena's spine. “I think he's trying to rape me.” Lena said to her nanny. (p. 56)

When Lena was approximately 6-years-old and Grace, her younger, was one, Lena was curious about what Grace's vagina looked like; so, Lena leaned down between Grace's legs “[...] and carefully spread open her vagina.” (p. 121) And Lena used to bribe Grace “like a sexual predator” for “affection”. For example, Lena gave her younger sister three pieces of candy to “kiss her on the lips for five seconds” and she would let Grace watch whatever she wanted on television if she would “relax” on Lena. (p. 150) [Note: Joan J. Johnson wrote in her book Teen Prostitution that, in most cases, sexually abused nymphets were victims of incest.]

When Grace was in the fifth grade, she had an online connection with Kent, an ad sales rep, before, to Grace's dismay, Lena told their mother. (p. 151)

Lena's mother suspected that Grace was “[...] having an affair with her [high school] Latin teacher.” (p. 155)

“Grace came out when she was seventeen.” (p. 153) [Note: Marth Barret related in her book Invisible Lives that Sarah Pearlman, a therapist based in Boston, said, “In clinical practice you see a higher incidence of [sexual] abuse and incest among lesbians.” Furthermore, most lesbians were victims of incestuous sexual abuse. Sexual abuse isn't the cause of lesbianism, but the fact remains that, like Grace, most lesbians were sexually abused – by a relative(s).]

On a Saint Ann's eighth grade class trip to Washington D.C., some of Lena's 14-year-old classmates “[...] decided to go totally gay. It started with some light kissing on the bed, then Jessica was topless and shaking her tits, clutching her own nipples and wagging them mercilessly in our faces.” (p. 131)

When Lena was 15, her friend Sofia taught Lena “[...] her favorite trick, one that she said drove the boys crazy,” which was “[...] just sucking on someone's earlobe.” When Sofia demonstrated on her, Lena wrote that she could “[...] feel the tips of her teeth and then my pulse in my vagina.” (p. 132)

Lena accused her fifth grade teacher of being “inappropriate”. (p. 169) But she wrote that with her seventh grade teacher: “It didn't feel inappropriate. It felt real.” (p. 170)

When Lena was a 13-year-old summer camper she “[...] couldn't stop eying everyone else, staring at their round asses as they dressed, the dusky hairs emerging from the bathing suits. “You are so bicurious!” Lena's camp counselor said after she caught Lena “[...] watching her tits swing as she changed.” And Lena “[...] lusted after a college student and flirted with her “Australian 'bunk uncle'”.

The following summer, at the age of 14, Lena found her “truest love”. “[Johnny] was blond, from South Carolina, and just shy of twenty-two.” In her bunk, Lena fantasized about discarding her “[...] clothes, approaching Johnny, and letting him put his hands all over [...]” her body. [Note: When a teen girl fantasizes about a man, it's commonly considered cute, but when a man fantasizes about a teen girl it's commonly considered not cute.]

Lena kissed “[...] three girls in college. All at once [...] We went around kissing for just long enough to get a sense of one another's mouths. They felt soft and tickly [...]” (p. 139)

Thus, it can be culled from Dunham's memoir that she dreamed about having sex with her father, she had incestuous lesbian foreplay with her younger sister, the summer before fourth grade she starting having orgasms that felt like seizures, she found pleasure in looking at the “round asses” of the other nymphets at summer camp, and when she was 15, she fantasized about undressing in front of her 21-year-old camp counselor. After learning about Dunham's upbringing, you may not be as shocked by her writings anymore.

CHLOE (1996): A Tricked French Teen Prostitute

Here's Amazon's synopsis for Chloé (1996): 

Highly controversial and previously unavailable in North America, Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard sizzles as the young and naive high school student named Chloé. Her desire for a new and exciting life leads her to a charming stranger [i.e., a pimp] in the streets of Paris.

The focus of this, made for television, French film appears to be on the nymphet being deceived into prostitution and her pimp's treacherous and pitiless behavior. 

But what appears to be overlooked in this film is that 15-year-old Chloé fell madly in love with Jean-Michel (37-year-old Jean-Claude Adelin), the "charming stranger", before she discovered that he was a pimp. Subsequently, after giving her virginity to Jean-Michel. Chloé began prostituting to help her older lover financially, which is not an unheard of way for teens to enter prostitution. 

Like Chloé, some teens are hoodwinked into prostitution, some nymphets enter into teen prostitution voluntarily, while some are not given a choice - by their mothers. 

Unsurprisingly, Chloé, despite her premium price due to her youth, was very popular with the French johns. And her pimp even arranged to have her sold to some Swedes!

ANNA (2009): A Nymphet [Teen] Watches Porn

Anna (2009) is (a bit of) a Danish coming of age short film about Anna, a 12-year-old girl who lives in a fishing village in Denmark. In the film, Anna's mother shields Anna's eyes from watching a sex scene, but she comforts Anna by informing her that she can watch porn when she turns 16. (The age of consent in Denmark is 15.)

And it's not uncommon for teen publications to encourage nymphets to watch porn or for porn literacy to be taught in middle and high schools.

But the issue shouldn't be when Anna can watch porn. The issue should be watching porn. As I related in The Allure of Nymphets, according to Richard Farson in Birth-rights: 

"There was no age separation before the sixteenth century, no separate world for children. They were in on everything, they shared everything, the same games, stories, dances [...] Adults and children were never apart."

Thus, the issue should be the acceptability of watching porn. If you're a religious person, for obvious religions reasons, you would advise an ephebophile to avoid watching teen porn. 

If you're not religious, you may want to avoid porn, because according to a 2000 Zillmann study, "Influence of Unrestrained Access to Erotica on Adolescents’ and Young Adults’ Dispositions Toward Sexuality", viewing pornography can lead to watching more extreme forms of pornography, which can be extremely dangerous for an ephebophile, because an ephebophile may begin with teen pornography, but he may be tempted to (illegally) watch younger and younger nymphets. And with the level of entrapment by the authorities, one's risk of getting into serious trouble with the law is greatly increased.

In addition, the laws are confusing due to the debate over art versus pornography. For example, 12-year-old Anna (Marie Hammer Boda) was shown topless in this mainstream film without any complaints from the authorities; thus, her preteen nudity was considered art. 

To conclude, we advise ephebophiles to avoid pornography and to marry a nymphet a la Elvis, Steven Bauer, and Doug Hutchison - to name a few. And if you live in the middle-east, you can marry up to four nymphets. 

Maurice Ehlinger: French Painter of Nude Nymphets [Teens]

I learned about Maurice Ehlinger (1896-1981) on the blog Novel Activist via Art Controversies. Ehlinger was an award winning french painter whose aesthetic and muse, like Serge Marshennikov and Balthus, was the nymphet. 

Ehlinger was born in Saint-Die-des-Vosges, but he eventually settled in Paris where he was accepted at the famous l'atelier de Flameng. Subsequently, Ehlinger earned money as an art instructor by day, which allowed him to paint in his studio by night. 

Ehlinger's nude nymphets can be found in a number of French museums including the Museum of Pierre-Noël Saint-Die-des-Vosges 

HET DEBUUT (1977): A Choice Between Teen Mistress & Wife

Here's IMDb's description of Het debuut (1977) [English: The Debut]:

The delicate story of the impossible love between an older married man and a fourteen-year old schoolgirl.

We can thank feminist for the rise in the age of consent and the fall of polygamy, which is disarming when one considers that the only thing that an ephebophile likes more than a nymphet is a bevy of two or more nymphets. Het debuut is a film from the Netherlands that exemplifies the dilemma that some married ephebophiles face.

In the film, in typical fashion, 14-year-old buxom blond Carolien (16-year-old Marina de Graaf) initiated an age-gap sexual affair with "uncle" Hugo (Gerard Cox) - a 41-year-old friend of the family. 

For example, Carolien asked Hugo for a piggyback ride on the plage and informed him, "You smell good." And she showed up unannounced to his apartment under the guise of needing help with her developing countries school project, but when Hugo's wife left to make tea, Carolien massaged Hugo's middle-age face and confessed, "I wanted to see you."

Carolien even left a door ajar at her high school so that she and Hugo could make-out, top-less, on the gym's wrestling mat while Hugo's wife sipped on black tea back at his apartment. 

After sneaking around from hotel to hotel and after losing her virginity to Hugo, which she shared with the city by shouting in the nude from the hotel's balcony, "I lost my virginity!", Carolien abruptly ended the age-gap affair due to jealousy. 

Carolien's jealous departure forced Hugo to have to choose between his nymphet and his pregnant wife. Since polygamy wasn't an option, despite being very distraught at the thought of ending his age-gap affair, Hugo begrudgingly decided to stay with his wife, which led to a suicide attempt by Carolien. 

LAW & ORDER SVU: New York City Teen Prostitutes

Law & Order Special Victims Unit Season 16 Premier

Here's the plot summary, via TVRage, for the 16th season premiere of Law & Order Special Victims Unit - "Girls Disappeared": 

Sergeant Benson juggles work and her new role as foster mother to baby Noah Porter. Amaro, now working the traffic beat in Queens, arrests an underage prostitute with connections to Noah’s mother Ellie, who was "greenlit" by her pimp and brutally murdered. Amaro’s undercover work sets off a chain of events that puts everyone connected to the case - even baby Noah - in danger. Meanwhile, a new detective assigned to Manhattan SVU starts off on the wrong foot.

16-year-old Luna Garcia

The viewers were introduced to 16-year-old Luna Garcia, the first "underage prostitute", as she was about to perform oral sex on a middle-aged john in a SUV - in broad daylight. The john shared that the teen prostitute was delivered to him via Craigslist:

"Craigslist. You call the number. And then they come in a car, and she gets in the car with me." 

14-year-old Missy in Prostitution Rain

Subsequently, a house with four additional nymphet prostitutes, one white, Missy, and two Latina, was raided. SVU was able to get 14-year-old Missy to cooperate by showing her a picture of her baby whom was being held hostage by the Mexico based prostitution ring; however, while out on bail, Missy and her middle-aged john were executed in a Cadillac. 

In an effort to entrap the prostitution ring, a SVU detective booked a "date" with Carmen - a 16-year-old prostitute ordered on Craigslist whom offered the undercover detective a "massage" for $200. 

In the end, SVU was able to break the ring by getting the bottom to cooperate by appealing to her motherly emotions. 

Interestingly, unlike the privileged teen prostitutes in Rome, the teen prostitutes featured in this episode of SVU were portrayed as being victims of sex trafficking. 

Lastly, despite, Law & Order: SVU's disclaimer, a number of the episodes are based on actual news reports. For example, the post, Super Bowl Nymphet Prostitutes, is about 13 to 17-year-old prostitutes whom serviced Super Bowl johns in Manhattan.

Teens "Freak Out" Over New York Congressman Grimm

The Nymphet & Her "Bae" (i.e., "sweetie" Congressman Grimm) 

The Business Insider reported on July 14, 2014 that "Teenage Girls Freak Out After Heartthrob [R-New York] Congressman Shows Up At [Sweet 16] Party" But the nymphets started their "freak out" before the 44-year-old Congressman got there. 

"F***ing Michael Grimm is going," one teen wrote on Twitter. "I'm gonna dance with him all night and make him fall in love with me."

Grimm reportedly promised her that it wouldn't be their last encounter: "He told me he's taking me to prom I was like you fricking better," the teen wrote.

Another teen quoted the excited conversations about Grimm that she overheard among her friends: "'Michael Grimm is coming.' 'Oh sh** now I have to wear nice underwear,'" she wrote.

Despite the aggressive sexual nature of the teen tweets, if Congressman Grimm would have succumbed to the allure of the nymphets, he would have been accused of grooming the teens, and the teens would have been deemed innocent victims in the age-gap sexual affairs. 

Famous Ephebophile: Actor Steven Bauer (57) & Lyda Loudon (18)

Steven Bauer (57) & Lyda Loudon (18)

The Huffington Post reported that 57-year-old actor Steven Bauer has a nymphet! Bauer, who is the former husband of 57-year-old Melanie Griffith, star of Showtime's crime drama Ray Donovan, and the cult classic Scarface, is dating 18-year-old Lyda Loudon. Loudon is the daughter of Gina Gentry Loudon - an author and Fox News contributor.

Famous Ephebophile: Mozart's Don Giovanni's Passion for Youthful Beginners

Don Giovanni (1787) is considered by many to be the finest opera of all time. David Naugle opined: 

"What Plato's Republic is to political philosophy, what Michelangelo's Cistine Chapel Ceiling is to painting, and what Shakespeare's tragedies are to drama, so also is Mozart's Don Giovanni to the works and world of opera." 

And Naugle shared that Goethe said that Mozart "[...] obviously possessed deep insight into human nature [...]"

Don Giovanni was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but was written by librettist and ephebophile Lorenzo Da Ponte. Is the opera so well known because of its music or libretto? I would argue that the "unsung hero" is Da Ponte. In addition, it is known that Don Giovanni was a libertine, who seduced over 1,000 females in Spain - not to mention other lands, but many would be surprised to realize that he specialized in nymphets. 

For example, Giovanni's servant, Leporello, explained to Donna Elvira, one of Giovanni's young spurned conquests, that Giovanni's "[...] outstanding passion is the youthful beginner [...] provided she wears a skirt." 

While pretending to be Giovanni, Leporello referred to Donna Elvira as, "Poor little girl [...] pretty little face!

During his seduction of "Little" Zerlina, a peasant girl, Giovanni told her, "[...] you are not destined to be a peasant, those roguish little eyes will win you another lot, those lovely little lips, those white and fragrant little fingers; it's like touching reeds and smelling roses." Zerlina was further described as "[...] my little dear," and as having, "[...] white and young little hands [...] that fresh complexion [...]"

And, Giovanni informed Leporello, "I met a beautiful, young, elegant girl on the street; I went up to her, I took her by the hand [...]"

38-year-old Da Ponte had two sources of inspiration for his libretto: his 16-year-old mistress and Giovanni Bertati's libretto for Don Giovanni, o sia II convitato di pietra. 

Da Ponte wrote in his memoir: 

"A beautiful girl of sixteen [...] came to my room [...] at the sound of the bell [...] She would bring me now a little cake, now a cup of coffee, now nothing just her pretty face [...] I worked twelve hours a day every day [...] and through all that time she sat in an adjoining room [...] ready to come to my aid at the first touch of the bell. Sometimes she would sit at my side without stirring, without opening her lips, or batting an eyelash, gazing at me fixedly, or blandly smiling, or now it would be a sigh, or a menace of tears. In a word, this girl was my Calliope [...] for all the verse I wrote for the next six years. 

So, why isn't Don Giovanni known as an ephebophile? Is it because it's difficult to find accomplished teen opera singers? Consequently, most performances of Don Giovanni are done by middle-age women, which causes a major theme of the opera to get lost in translation. 

ROLLA: Gervex's Painting and Musset's Poem About a Teen Prostitute

Henri Gervex (1852-1929) Rolla 1878

Henri Gervex's oil on canvas Rolla was inspired by Alfred de Musset's lengthy poem Rolla (1833). Here's the plot summary of the poem from Paris' museum Musée d'Orsay:

The text recounts the destiny of a young bourgeois, Jacques Rolla, falling into a life of idleness and debauchery. He meets with Marie, a teenager who found in prostitution an escape from misery. Rolla is seen here ruined, standing by the window, his eyes turned to the girl sleeping. He is about to commit suicide by poison.

If the scene was judged indecent [by the Beaux-Arts administration], it was not because of Marie's nudity, which in no way differs from the canonic nudes of the time. The attention of contemporaries rather turned to the still life constituted by a gown, a garter, and a hastily undone corset covered with a top hat. Gervex might have been advised by Degas to put "a corset on the floor" so that the spectator may know this woman "is not a model". Indeed, this disposition and the nature of the clothes clearly indicate Marie's consent and her status as a [teen] prostitute. Moreover, the walking stick emerging from the garments acts as a metaphor for sexual intercourse.

I learned about Rolla from Baxter's translation of Musset's Two Nights of Excess.

American Apparel's Back to School Lolita Wear

American Apparel's Lolita Wear

Time reported on the backlash that American Apparel received on social media after the company posted raunchy pictures on its Instagram account of "... a girl bending over a car, revealing her underwear and buttocks under her skirt." In addition, the company is selling Lolita mini skirts and crop tops. 

The fact that American Apparel is basing their sexy campaign on 12-year-old Lolita, whom initiated sex with H.H., her middle-aged step-father, and gave him (paid) hand-jobs while he looked alluringly upon other nymphets, is revealing. 

In reality, the campaign is a reflection of raunchy teen behavior. American Apparel is selling teens what they, teens, want. Like Douglas Rushkoff mentioned in the documentary Merchants of Cool (2001), "It's a feedback loop." (i.e., American Apparel wants to be a cool company that sells sexy clothes, and cool teens want to wear sexy clothes.) 

The Guardian reported previously:

The UK advertising watchdog has banned a campaign by the retailer American Apparel for using a partially nude model, who appeared to be under 16, in a series of images that suggested she was "stripping off for an amateur-style photo shoot". 

The Advertising Standards Authority received a complaint that it could be seen by children and inappropriate because the model seemed "young and vulnerable and [the ad] could be seen to sexualise a child"."

A spokesperson for American Apparel defended the advertisement by saying that the model is 23-years-old and that the advertisement was meant to highlight the hoodie and not the girl's cleavage and breasts. Thus, the model only looks like a nymphet and viewers should be concentrating on the Flex Fleece and not the model's tan lined breasts. 

AMERICAN MINOR (2009): Teen Boredom Leads to Masturbation

L.A. based artist, University of California fine arts instructor, and writer Charlie White's muse is the American teen. For example, White's short film, American Minor, depicts the day in the life of a 14-year-old American nymphet. Here's the film's description posted on Vimeo:

American Minor is a meditation on the popular image of the American teen girl. Through carefully created, lingering scenes, the film focuses on the external environment and internal state of a fourteen-year-old, upper-middle-class blonde girl whose world is defined through products, objects, and perpetual consumption. The film observes a single, protracted morning in the life of a picture-perfect American youth lost in the dehumanizing space that wealth, isolation, and fear can provide. By watching this American teen perform basic acts, from eating cereal, to watching television, to combing her hair, the film aims to reveal the complicated relationship between personal pleasure and politics, youth and sexuality, and class and suppression. [Emphasis added]

The film's description doesn't spoil that the references to "personal pleasure and politics, youth and sexuality" are referring to the film's depiction of the teen masturbating in the shower - in what appears to be to orgasm. 

American Minor (2009): [Edited] Trailer 

A NSFW search on TikTok and Google will confirm White's meditation of the American teen girl, and her sophisticated affair with pleasure, youth and sexuality. 

Unsurprisingly, taking into account the allure of a (wealthy American blonde) nymphet, the short film premiered in Nine Lives at the Hammer Museum (2009). and it was featured at the Sundance Film Festival (2009) and Director’s Fortnight in Cannes (2009).

Which Nymphets Has the Best Buttocks?

Venus Callipyge
National Archaeological Museum, Naples

The Venus Callipyge is a 1st century BC marble Roman statue. The name means "Venus (or Aphrodite) of the beautiful buttocks." The statue shows a woman, whom some consider to be Venus, performing an anasyrma to expose her buttocks. She is peering at her buttocks which further draws attention them. 

The statue conjures up the following story which can be found in Athenaeus' Deipnosophists (12.554 c–e) about two teens in Syracuse, Sicily who were trying to determine which of them had the most attractive buttocks:

"Once upon a time a farmer had two beautiful daughters. One day these girls, getting into a dispute as to which one had a more beautiful backside, went out onto the public street. And by chance a young man was passing by, the son of a rich old man. They showed themselves to him, and when he saw them he voted in favor of the older girl. And in fact, falling in love with her, when he got back to town, he took to his bed and told his younger brother everything that had happened. And the younger brother also went to the country and saw the girls, and he fell in love with the other daughter. And so when the boys' father tried to get them to marry someone of the upper classes, he couldn't persuade his sons, and so he brought the girls in from the country, with their father's permission, and married them to his sons. And so these girls were called fair-buttocked by the citizens, as Cercidas of Megalopolis says in his Iambic Verses: "There was a pair of beautiful-buttocked girls in Syracuse"

Teen Kylie Jenner's Erect Penis [Cake]

Us Weekly reported that 25-year-old rapper Tyga hosted a 17th birthday party for Kylie Jenner, which was attended by the likes of Justin Bieber.

Tyga asked Bieber to serenade Kylie, Tyga purchased birthday party hats emblazoned with nymphet's photo, and he ordered a custom made cake that was shaped like a large erect penis. 

After the festivities, the 17-year-old posted on her Instagram account: 

"Thank u everyone & T for the [large erect penis] cake & JB for singing happy bday to me. I love u guys."

In terms of Tyga and Kylie's eight-year age-gap, per Billboard, Khloe Kardashian approves, because Kylie isn't a normal teen, and she's a "special case":

"Kylie is not a normal 17-year-old. You’re not gonna say, 'Hey, so what are you doing this weekend?' and have her say, 'Having a slumber party at my girlfriend’s' or 'Going to prom.' That’s not what Kylie does. Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she’s going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting. That’s not even what people do in their 30s. It’s a rare circumstance, so let’s treat this as a special case.”

In the end, Emily Longeretta, news editor at Hollywood Life, may have said it best:

"But this cake is literally a penis on a cake! She's 17."

DIRTY LITTLE [Teen] SECRETS: Attention Craving Promiscuous Nymphets

Kerry Cohen asserted in Dirty Little Secrets Breaking the Silence on Teenage Girls and Promiscuity that:

"[...] almost every girl you see. They believe in their hearts that they are worth nothing, that they have little to offer. They believe boys will pull them out of their ordinariness and finally, finally, transform them into someone better than who they are."

"They give out blow jobs like kisses and hope for love in return."

"But they aren't sex addicts or even love addicts. What they crave is the attention [which is their "dirty little secret"], that moment when a boy looks at them and they can believe that they are worth something to someone. They can believe that they matter."

Cohen wrote that, despite the widespread belief to the contrary, girls are sexual and: "[...] have just as much sexual desire and curiosity as boys." 

And we know that Cohen's claim that girls masturbate can be confirmed by Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies; thus, it isn't surprising that Cohen shared that the Guttmacher Institute reported that:

• Almost 50% of girls between the ages of 15 and 19 had sex at least once and 27% of girls between the ages of 13 and 16 had sex more than once.
• Approximately 8.8 million girls between the ages of 15 and 24 acquire a STD every year.
• And approximately 750,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 get pregnant every year - 82% of them are unplanned.
• In addition, Cohen wrote that: "Thirteen year old girls proudly extol their abilities to give blow jobs, which they do in the bathrooms at parties or at school. Middle and high schoolers have sex parties...and lots of adolescent girls watch porn."

Cohen makes a vital point that there's a distinction between: "[...] acting on natural sexual feelings and using male attention and sex to fill emptiness [...]" In other words, nymphets enjoy sex just as much as boys do, but they often use sex to get the attention that they crave from boys and men.

And Cohen points out that the desire to get the attention of the opposite is reinforced by the media. She advised readers to: "Take a quick glance at some of the top teen girls' magazines and you see these headlines [like]: "How do Get a Guy's Attention" [...] [and] just about every Disney princess plot revolves around snagging a man. The Little Mermaid is a perfect example. The main character Ariel doesn't even speak, and then she gives up her entire identity as a mermaid and singer to get her guy."

Cohen gives a number of examples of girls who haven't handled the distinction between being sexual and craving attention well e.g.,

• 12-year-old Lana gave blow jobs regularly
• When Kelsey was in the 6th grade, she gave a Burger King cashier a handjob during his break
• 14-year-old Lourdes met her 24-year-old boyfriend at an underage club

But psychologist Marta Meana wrote in a New York Times Magazine piece that: "[...] women's desire is not relational, it's narcissistic. It is dominated by the yearnings of 'self-love,' by the wish to be the object of erotic admiration and sexual need." 

Therefore, a nymphets desire for attention may be more powerful than her sexual desires, which would, at least partially, explain why so many nymphets produce raunchy cellphone pictures and webcam videos, which boys and men desperately crave. 

For example, Cohen shared how 15-year-old Johanna gets: "[...] a rush from the power [...]" that comes from the attention she gets on the Internet." 

Thus, it's a feedback loop i.e., Girls crave attention. Girls use sex to get attention. Boys crave sex. Boys give girls the attention they crave - temporarily. And a boy can only imagine how a girl feels when she gets both attention and sex - two things that she enjoys tremendously. 

I related the preceding information, because I can verify Cohen's information based on my own research; however, the following claims made by Cohen are erroneous. She claimed that: 

"[...] girls who chose men so far out of their age range also tend toward low self-esteem and depression. Many of these girls are looking to replace their abusive or difficult families with new ones." 

But in the prior 48 pages of the book, Cohen surmised that most girls suffer from a low self-esteem - not just the teleiophiles. 

Lastly, she wrote "[...] girls I interviewed told me they felt that teenage boys were immature and that they like how the older men treated them [...]" But in the next paragraph she wrote: "[...] men who choose teenage girls tend to be immature and insecure, with egos matching those of teenage boys. Many have criminal histories [...]" I hope that the contradiction is apparent. And to make the claim that "many" ephebophiles are criminals is preposterous.
