Louÿs' WOMAN AND PUPPET [French: La Femme et le pantin]: How to Possess a Teen

Here's the synopsis for Pierre Louÿs' Woman and Puppet [French: La Femme et le pantin] from Wikipedia:

During the carnival in Seville, the Frenchman André Stévenol meets and falls under the spell of [18-year-old Andalusian] Conception 'Conchita' Perez [...] His friend, Don Mateo Diaz ["a Spaniard, of some forty years"] warns him off by describing his own history with the woman [that began when Conchita was 15-years-old] -- a history of being repeatedly attracted and then rebuffed by her. Conchita continually flirted with other men to torture Don Mateo. On each occasion he was made to feel guilty for his jealous thoughts and actions towards her, until he realized finally that he had been her puppet for fourteen months and in an explosion of passion he beat her. She then astonished him by declaring the violence a sign of the strength of his love and came to his bed. She was a ["legendary"] virgin. Although the two then started living together, she continued her flirtatious behavior towards other men [...]

Conchita is described as having a supple body yet childish breasts, dark chestnut hair, soft rounded cheeks with naturally dark eyelids and as, "[...] the worst woman in the world."

As often happens in budding age-gap relationships, the nymphet initiated the first kiss. "[...] she anticipated my desire, and impulsively placed her burning mouth on mine, with a long deep look."

However, Don Mateo made the nymphet PUA faux pas of trying to "buy" Conchita. After he informed Conchita's mother that he understood that due to their age differences an "open liaison was out of the question", he added that he would financially "assure not only her present life, but her personal fortune for the future", and he gave her a "thick roll of bank notes". 

Conchita's reaction to the "bribe" was, "I wished to give myself to you, but you have asked that I be sold. We shall never meet again."  

Conchita's declaration made Don Mateo desperately pledge, "If I ever see her again [...] if heaven favors me in this one thing, I shall crouch at her feet [...]" Thus, he went from trying to buy her love to desiring to "worship" her - in other words, he went from bad to worse, which only lead to more merciless teasing by Conchita. 

For example:

Then I begged her:

"Give me your mouth."

But she shook her head and withdrew her hand.

"Later."

Ah, that word! How many times had I already heard it from her lips, and now it cast a chill over this long hoped-for reunion that reached my very soul.

Don Mateo "suffered atrociously" for over a year as the nymphet seductively lured him only to mercilessly repulse him. Ultimately, Conchita gave herself to Don Mateo after he [briefly] stopped "worshiping" her and turned violent. 

The moral of Woman and Puppet is that, despite what feminists may think, one cannot buy a nymphet - there's a difference between teen prostitutes and New York University Sugar Baby's. In addition, lust is unattractive, because it shows a lack of power (i.e., charisma (e.g., self-control, self-confidence, etc)). And everybody knows that (young) women are extremely attracted to powerful men.

Molière's THE SCHOOL FOR WIVES: A Play | How to Possess a Teen

In Molière's play The School for Wives [French: L'école des femmes] Arnolphe, "a rich man, aged about fifty", is finally set to marry very sweet and innocent 17-year-old Agnès. Arnolphe began the marriage preparations when Agnès was 6-years-old. He believed: "A man who wants a perfect wife, must make her for himself."

Arnolphe had a very traditional and religious view of a wife's role. For example, he opined that a wife should never say, do or think anything that would go against her husband's wishes. And Agnès read from Some Rules for Wives: "A wife must dress only for her husband".

Arnolphe successfully excluded Agnès from any immoral influences and shielded: "[...] her from the world"; however, hours before the wedding ceremony, Agnès became infatuated with Horace - a young suitor. Arnolphe did everything within his power to not lose the "very pretty" and "very demure" Agnès to Horace. 

The School for Wives is a good example of how money cannot buy a nymphet. There is a major misconception among the masses that young women marry older men for money. Yet, despite the fact that Arnolphe educated Agnès and fed, clothed and gave her a house with two servants, she still preferred to marry the much younger and poorer Horace.

Even a conniving gold-digger can get tired of a Sugar Daddy. I wrote in The Allure of Nymphets about how Francis “Peaches” Browning left Edward “Daddy” Browning, Browning's 52-two-year-old husband, despite being lavished with riches. 

However, in almost every situation we've researched and observed, young women who end their age-gap relationships for young men, often regret their decisions - only to attempt to return to their (much) older man.

In the end, The School for Wives is a good reminder that men must possess charisma (i.e., self-confidence, self-control, be neat and clean, etc) to attract young women and that wealth, alone, is insufficient. 

ARE ALL MEN PEDOPHILES? (2013): No But They're Hebephiles\Ephebophiles\Nympholepts

Here are some highlights and lowlights from the controversial documentary 

Are All Men Pedophiles? (2013):

Studies have shown that teen sex is the most searched for type of pornography on the Internet.

The age that you first find the opposite sex attractive doesn't change, but it expands. For example, when you’re a teen you find teen girls attractive and as you age, teen girls remain attractive.  

The age of consent ranges from 9 to 20-years-old around the world. Interestingly, there’s no minimum age of consent in Saudi Arabia and Oman.

During the Stone Age, the average lifespan was approximately 30 years. And during the Neolithic age, which was between the Stone and Bronze Ages, the lifespan was 20 years; therefore, sex and childbearing couldn't be postponed for very long past puberty. Despite the fact that the lifespan of humans has increased dramatically, it’s still healthier to have a baby sooner than later.

Anthropological studies conducted by Napoleon Chagnon on primitive societies suggest that the average man finds 16-year-old females the most sexually attractive.

Mary was 12 or 15 when she gave birth to Jesus and the prophet Muhammed of Islam (صلى الله عليه وسلم) married Aisha when she was 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9.

Bar Mitswa is when Jewish boys turn 13 and are considered men. And a Bat Mitswa is when Jewish girls turn 12 and are considered women.

As far back at 6000 BC, the average age of pregnancy was 13-years-old. Currently, the average age of pregnancy in western society is between the ages of 21 and 23.

Girls begin puberty at approximately 10-years-old and they reach maturity when puberty ends at approximately 16-years-old. However, western society has set the legal age at 18-years-old, which is when young men reach maturity. Consequently, 16-year-old girls are more sexually and mentally mature than 16-year-old boys, which is why girls seek older partners and that explains why the average woman is younger than her male partner.

Biologically, humans start experimenting with sexual intercourse at the age of 13-years-old.

The basis for the legal age being set at 18 is based on education. High school education ends around the age of 18. Consequently, underage sex is shunned, because it interferes with education.

However, western society has a fascination with teen girls, which is visible in the fashion industry and media. For example, the average age of a budding high fashion model is between the ages of 12 and 16. The average age of fashion models is 16. 16 is a special age because most women tend to gain wait upon reaching 16. New models are rarely chosen after the age of 16. We don’t need biology to tell us that 16-year-old girls are ready for sex, because the way they’re portrayed as sexual beings in the media should suffice as evidence.

Couric reported on Katie Couric's Notebook, “Half of girls between 14 and 19 confessed to having had sex at least once.”

More than 20% of American teen girls admit to sending nude photos (i.e., sexting).

Some cultures (e.g., in Africa, South America, India, etc.) that haven’t been affected by western standards, girls still get married at an early age. And in Japanese society the attraction to teenage girls is a “widespread cultural phenomenon (e.g., lolicon)” However, there is no society in the world that encourages sex with children before puberty.

There’s a difference between the general public term for pedophilia and the technical professional term of pedophilia. The public’s definition is associated with someone who’s sexually attracted to girls under the age of 18; however, the clinical definition of pedophilia is:

1. A sexual preference for pre-pubertal or early pubertal children 
2. For six months or more the person has acted on those urges or suffers from distress as a result of having the urges
3. And the individual must be at least 16-years-old and at least five years older than the subject of desire

For example, hebephilia is when a man is attracted to adolescents or girls whom are approximately between the ages of 12 to 16-years-old; therefore, high school teachers who have sex with their students are not pedophiles. Since high school students have reached puberty, it’s considered hebophilia and the teachers are hebophiles - not pedophilia. 

The number of male teachers in one European country is a meager 1 in 8. The dropped is attributed to a fear that many male teachers will be accused of pedophilia. The misunderstanding between pedophilia and hebephilia has caused an unnecessary backlash against men. Men are not allowed to sit in playgrounds alone [e.g., A park that I frequently pass in Manhattan has a sign posted that forbids adult men from being in the park if they’re not accompanied by their own children.]

In an attempt to discourage pedophilia, Australia’s government has "banned" adult publications and films that feature women with "small breasts".

Child pornography is a $3 billion industry. 20% of all Internet pornography involves children under the age of 18; thus, since almost all men watch pornography, many men have been exposed to child pornography. However, it’s not considered child pornography when the images are used in the high fashion industry [or mainstream movies and high-brow art].

A 14-year-old New Jersey girl was accused of distributing child pornography after posting 30 explicit nude photographs of herself on the Internet.

Two Pennsylvanian girls who posted pictures of themselves in pajama bottoms and bra tops were charged with possessing child pornography and the distribution of child pornography. 

But 20% of teenagers in Western society admit to sexting, which translates to over 50,000,000 teens. That content could be considered child pornography even if the teen isn’t nude. In other words, any sexual activity, lewd conduct or erotic behavior that is exhibited by teens even when they're fully clothed could be considered child pornography. However, the average teen has no idea that they’re breaking the law. Consequently, 36% of child sex offenders in America are children.

Pedophilia will never be accepted by society, because it harms children, but sexual relations between adults and adolescents may eventually become re-accepted by modern society. 

Lastly from the documentary, we learned that hebephilia isn’t listed as a mental disorder, because finding teens attractive is normal and girls in puberty can understand lust unlike pre-pubertal girls.

HORSE GIRLS: A Play | A Middle Schoolgirl Age-Gap Affair, Teen Lipstick Lesbians & More

Here's the synopsis for Jenny Rachel Weiner's play Horse Girls that I saw with a capacity crowd at The Cell in Manhattan: 

12-year-old Ashleigh rules the Lady Jean Ladies, South Florida's most exclusive horse club. News that her family's stables are being sold and their horses killed for meat throws the Ladies into crisis in this dark comedy of middle school deception and lies.

Let's start by listing the names and ages of the characters: 

Lady Jean Lady Officers

ashleigh whitford (12-years-old)

tiffany gesuvia (13-years-old)

robin gesuvia (11-years-old)

margaret flanaghan (12-years-old)

brandi marshall (12-years-old)

Lady Jean Ladies 

camille lowenstein (13-years-old) "[...] she developed boobs early."

Other

trish lowenstein (13-years-old)

Horse Girls is set in ashleigh's "pristine bedroom" where the weekly meeting of the Lady Jean Ladies is being held and where robin shared, "tiffany has her period for goodness sake [...] /Which means she's a woman!"

Ashleigh (Olivia Macklin)  & Tiffany (Angeliea Stark) in Horse Girls

Later, ashleigh, dressed in a schoolgirl uniform, attributes her success in equestrian to Titus Andronicus, her lead horse, and Jonah Stockamore, her "hot" neighbor and "[...] the most famous Olympic Equestrian [...]":

robin informed, "He was on the cover of ELITE EQUESTRIAN." 

But tiffany, also dressed in a schoolgirl uniform, asked, "and he's like twenty-two. Isn't that illegal in most states?"

ashleigh responded, "shut up, tiffany. Don't be jealous. It's ugly."

Then margaret let us know that 12-year-old ashleigh and 22-year-old Jonah kissed: "Ever since last winter break when they kissed behind the stable it's all anyone can talk about [...]"

Interestingly, Weiner wrote that ashleigh didn't think her age-gap kiss with jonah was a major event:

"you guys it's not even a big/deal" 

"you guys, for someone as mature as me, dating an older man-

"I mean in six years when I turn 18 I'll also be competing for the gold and then we'll totally be like a power couple, you know?"

But robin disagreed and opined the age-gap kiss was a big deal and that ashleigh was lucky: "you are so lucky. I've never even kissed a guy."

camille comforted robin, complimented Jonah, and informed ashleigh about Jonah's probable quest to take her virginity: 

"[robin] when you grow boobs you'll definitely get felt up don't worry"

"ash[leigh] Jonah is so hot.
"He probably wants to be your first."

Weiner related in an interview with Theater in the Now: 

"Horse Girls is a play about pre-teens: their obsessions, their insecurities, their desperate need to find a place in the world [...] I think the experiences we have in middle school shapes us in a major way [...]" 

Consequently, Weiner, taking advantage of the allure of nymphets to sell tickets to a play, added some middle-school teen lipstick lesbians:

ashleigh: "margaret is a total lesbian [...] margaret tried to kiss me once and I never told anyone, but only because I was really sad about Misty getting Cancer."  

However, margaret exclaimed that she had a boyfriend at camp: "That's not true! I had a boyfriend at church camp this summer!" 

But later in the play, before margaret kissed ashleigh again, margaret confessed to ashleigh: "I'll go with you. I'll ride away with you. I love you." ashleigh didn't kiss margaret back, but she didn't pull away either. 

13-year-old camille, the nymphet who "developed boobs early", had to pay a fine, since she didn't bring a journal excerpt to the last meeting, because she was possibly being "fingered":

camille: "...I was busy."

tiffany: "Getting fingered by Johnson behind the stable?"

camille: "Maybe..."

Once the girls hear that the stables are being sold and that their horses will be killed for meat, they "FREAK OUT!", which includes "undressing" and "making out".

After ashleigh freaks out, she comforts herself by saying: "Jonah will know exactly what to do-he'll fly home and hold me."

Thus, now we know why the play is described as a "dark comedy of middle school". The play contains, in addition to other dark themes\motifs:

• an age-gap affair between 12-year-old ashleigh and 22-year-old Jonah
• middle school lipstick lesbians (i.e., ashleigh and 12-year-old margaret), and
• 13-year-old camille, with the developed boobs, was possibly fingered by Johnson. (No word on Johnson's age.)

Lastly, Claudia La Rocco for the New York Times opined: "Horse Girls,” a 50-minute pop descent into madness [...]"
