Christopher Columbus' Settlers Demanded Pre-Teen Sex Slaves

Dylan Matthews posted on Vox "9 reasons Christopher Columbus was a murderer, tyrant, and scoundrel: Why do we even celebrate Columbus Day?" (Oct 12, 2015). And what was the eighth reason?

8) Settlers under Columbus sold 9- and 10-year-old girls into sexual slavery 

This one he admitted himself in a letter to Doña Juana de la Torre, a friend of the Spanish queen: "There are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand, and for all ages a good price must be paid."

Here's an excerpt from Columbus' letter to Doña Juana de la Torre via Boyd's Christopher Columbus, His Life, His Work, His Remains, Vol. 2: As Revealed by Original Printed and Manuscript Records:

 

Jessica Simpson: Pre-Teen Sexual Abuse or Nymphet Lipstick Lesbian Affair?

Jessica Simpson shared in her memoir, Open Book, that she was "sexually abused" from the ages of six to 12 by a older female family friend. The alleged abuse occurred during sleepovers approximately three times per year for six years. Simpson shared that the older nymphet initiated the sex with 'tickling': “It would start with tickling my back and then go into things that were extremely uncomfortable.” 

And Simpson added: 'Eventually it wasn't just at nighttime. She would get me to go into a closet with her, or just find a way to linger until we were alone. It got to the point that she would sneak into the bathroom to watch me shower.'

However, some argue that Simpson was not sexually abused but that she was engaged in a consensual nymphet lipstick lesbian affair. 

For example, the older friend of the family was only one year older than Simpson; so, when the alleged abuse began, Simpson was six and the other nymphet was seven. 

In addition, Simpson wrote: 'I never let her near [my younger sister] Ashlee, but I also never screamed or told her to stop. I was confused, wondering if it was something that I wanted to keep going.'

And Simpson shared in a People interview that she felt like she was a sexual abuser of a nymphet, “I allowed it to happen, so I felt that I was as much of the abuser as the abused. So I was very shameful during that time, from 6 to 12 years old.”

In her memoir, Simpson blames her years of alcoholism and prescription pill addiction on the pre-teen lipstick lesbian affair. But some argue that her addiction may have more to do with the typical unhappiness that comes with sudden success and newfound wealth than anything else. 

Furthermore, pre-teen lipstick lesbianism is not uncommon. For example: 

Clarissa shared in Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies that she remembers when she and her friend were caught masturbating with candles when they were 12.

And Marina shared that she began to be aware of men at the age of 9 or 10 and thought about them while she masturbated. However, Marina only had "a vague idea of what lovemaking was" until she met her friend, a ten-year-old Mediterranean girl. Marina and the Mediterranean nymphet used to sit at opposite ends of the bathtub and pour warm water from a Russian silver teapot all over their clitorises while caressing their bodies "with infallible, instinctive verve."

Judith Levine shared in her prize winning book Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex that a major longitudinal study at UCLA found that 75% of kids had masturbated and/or had sex with another child before the age of six. And that: "Flora masturbated at six or seven and had orgasms starting at ten or eleven. When she was that age, a thirteen-year-old friend joined her. 'We would lay around and take off our clothes,' Flora recalled [...] 'We even made dildos out of toilet paper and Vaseline.' She recounted the story without shame or regret: in fact, she spoke with glee."

Lastly, isn't it interesting that Simpson and her publisher are using the allure of (pre-teen) nymphet lipstick lesbianism to sell the memoir?

Pornhub's Butterfly Effect: [Pre] Teens Watching [Free] Porn

New York magazine's The Best Podcasts of 2019 listed at number 9 Jon Ronson's The Last Days of August, which focuses on the suicide of porn actress August Ames. However, we were intrigued by the article's mention of Ronson's The Butterfly Effect podcast, which the article described as a "[...] fascinating 2017 journey into a porn industry that's been reshaped by the internet [...]"

The Butterfly Effect relates the butterfly effect (i.e., repercussions) of Fabian Thylmann's Pornhub - a popular free streaming porn website. 

One butterfly effect is bespoke pornography, because there's less paid work in the pornography industry due to the proliferation of free porn. Thus, filmmakers, cameramen and actresses make money by making custom films for clients. 

Another butterfly effect is that nymphets have access to the proliferation of free porn on their smartphones. 

Now let's see how the podcast brought the two butterfly effects together:

Kelly, a former bank appraiser, received a call from her 13-year-old daughter who had discovered via her classmates that her mother was a porn actress. Kelly's daughter was having lunch while her 8th grade schoolmates were watching pornographic videos of her mother. 

When Kelly informed her 17-year-old daughter that she's a porn actress, Kelly's daughter asked, "So, I shouldn't look at MILF porn anymore? So, are you like Lisa Ann or Julie Ann?"

Kelly replied, "How do you even know those people?!"

Ronson interviewed Lisa Ann  who lived in Times Square so that the excitement of Times Square would help prevent her from being the excitement. 

Ronson stated, "Back in the 90s, she'd only get recognized on the streets by adults. But now."

Ann elaborated, "Oh yeah, I have 12, 13 and 14-year-olds walking up to me. They'll walk up to me in public and say, 'Can we fuck?'"

In addition, Ronson reported that some female students at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary have a Friday night Shame Eradication group where the coeds share their most shameful secrets. Marissa shared that she had a porn addiction that started when she was in the 6th grade. Her fellow group members assured her, "You're not alone." 

Joyce Carol Oates' FIRST LOVE: Pre-Teen BDSM

Here's part of the plot summary from the dust jacket of the hardback of Joyce Carol Oates' First Love [French: Premier amour]:

Josie S- has come with her mother Delia to live in her great-aunt Esther Burkhardt's house in upstate New York. Also living there is Josie's cousin, Jared, Jr., on leave from the Presbyterian seminary. Preoccupied with his studies, impeccably dressed in his starched white shirts, distant and mysterious, Jared, Jr. is an intriguing figure to Josie's curious and impressionable young mind. One summer afternoon, when Josie encounters Jared, Jr. at the riverbank behind the Burkhardt house, dark secrets are shared between them as an unnatural love blooms.

Amazon elaborates with: [First Love is] a dark tale of adolescent love, divided family loyalties, psychological manipulation, and betrayal in the story of eleven-year-old Josie and her relationship with an intriguing, twenty-five-year-old cousin, Jared. 

And Publishers Weekly adds some details:

Oates's compelling Gothic tale [...] is an intense, perfervid study of child sexual abuse, religious hypocrisy and family breakdown. Eleven-year-old Josie and her ruthlessly self-centered mother, Delia, spend a summer at the weather-worn house of Josie's angry, forbidding great-aunt Esther Burkhardt [...] Esther's gaunt, solitary, compulsively clean grandson, Jared Jr., a bookish 25-year-old seminary student, repeatedly preys on Josie, sexually violating her, taunting her in a low, hypnotic voice. He cuts her stomach with a broken clamshell, forces her to lick her own blood to seal their bond as cousins, shows her porno photos of tortured, naked girls and terrifies her into silence with his threats.

Here's an excerpt from Oates' First Love:

"Don't hurt me! Oh please...." You hear yourself begging, but Jared pays no heed. Slowly and ceremoniously [...] he undresses you --- pulling your sleeveless t-shirt off over your head, tugging down your cotton shorts, nylon panties [...] He lifts it [a broken clam shell] its sharp edge against your breastbone and you wince [...] between your little breasts, and again pressing, pressing --- and this time you cry, "Oh!" as the blood springs out and runs down your chest. And Jared holds you tight murmuring good girl, good girl touching the seeping blood, licking his fingertips then forcing them into your mouth, too. You almost gag, but you don't."

John Pistelli shared that First Love: [...] ends when she refuses to participate in Jared’s desire to make her his accomplice in preying on the poor children of their town for the purposes of child pornography, rape, and murder. 

Lastly, Kirkus Reviews opined of First Love: Oates at her best--and a happy reminder that she remains one of our foremost chroniclers of childhood's awakening and woman's fate.

Balthus @ the Gagosian & the MET: Art or Teen Pornography?

I went to the Gagosian's new ground floor-gallery on 76th and Madison avenue this past Friday to see the Balthus: The Last Studies exhibit. The exhibition displayed a series of little-known Polaroids that Balthus took of Anna Whali, who was the youngest daughter of Balthus' physician. Balthus started photographing Anna when she was eight-years-old.

Anna was topless in most of the Polaroids, and the exhibit reminds me of the subjective nature of the United States child pornography laws. For example, Balthus and David Hamilton are considered artists, but photographer Donald Raymond Croft II was charged with child pornography in 2012 for his photographs of nude nymphets.

BALTHUS Untitled, c. 1999–2000 at the Gagosian

On Saturday I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) to see Balthus Cats and Girls—Paintings and Provocations and once again the lines were blurred between art and nymphet pornography. For example, Balthus' pre-teen neighbor, Thérèse Blanchard, is posing provocatively in a number of the paintings in the exhibit. 

BALTHUS Girl and Cat (1937) at the MET

However, there is at least one Balthus that even the Gagosian or the MET won't touch and that is Balthus' Guitar Lesson. According to New York magazine, the Guitar Lesson debuted in Paris in 1934 in an backroom exhibit that lasted for fifteen days. Then in 1977, the painting was exhibited for a month in Pierre Matisse’s mid-town Manhattan art gallery. From 1977 to 1982, it sat in the storage area of the Museum of Modern Art. And after being exchanged between buyers over the years, it landed in the possession of multi-billionaire Stavros Niarchos.

Update 03/23/14: The Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany has cancelled the “Balthus: the Last Pictures” exhibit that was scheduled to open next month. More details can be found here.

Balthus' Polaroids via Purple Magazine

Update 3/20/16: Purple magazine published "Balthus Polariods" in the S/S 2016 issue 25. From Benoit Peverelli's presentation we learned that a few years after Balthus' death, thousands of documents were discovered in his Rossinière, Switzerland based studio at the Grand Chalet. Balthus found it difficult to draw due to his age which is why he switched to using a Polaroid camera to capture his nymphets. The Polaroids were used for Balthus' last six paintings - three of which were never finished.

ROGER FISHBITE: Nymphets in Catholic School Uniforms & Teen Oral Sex for Jewelry

Here's part of Amazon's review of Emily Prager's Roger Fishbite: 

Lucky Linderhof, a 12-year-old latter-day Lolita born of the privileged sperm club, lives in New York with her affectionate but ineffectual mother, a woman who changes her lovers as quickly as she changes her designer clothes. 

Abandoned by her father, Lucky seeks a symbolic replacement among her mother's boyfriends--but when the piranha lodger Roger Fishbite moves in, she ends up with a father figure who becomes a lover.

The Author Note states: 

This novel is in part a literary parody of that great work Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. It is my reply both to the book and the icon that the character Lolita has become. 

Prager may have given an appropriate example of an ephebophile in the novel. She wrote: 

"No, this man [i.e., a nympholept] is a special man, a man for whom a Catholic school uniform, even on a mannequin, does more than a whole album of grown-up nudes." 

That may be an hyperbole, but it's closer than further from the truth.

Roger may have non-verbally expressed his attraction for Lucky, but she made the first (physical) move when she: "[...] leaped up and kissed him square on the mouth."  Lucky kissed her mother's lover for dresses, gave him hugs for CDs, and performed oral sex for jewelry. 

However, Lucky repeatedly teased Roger when he wanted to make love: "Lose my virginity to you? What's in it for me?" Lucky asked. 

But Lucky became livid with jealousy and took matters into her own hands, after she read in Roger's journal that he made love to Evie a, "[...] hot as a pistol" 11-year-old model whom he was shocked was not a virgin.

Andrea Higbie opined in her New York Times Book Review: "Here Prager has captured an essential truth of childhood [...]

BLAME IT ON RIO (1984): Insatiable (Pre)Teen Love for Older Man

In Blame It On Rio (1984), 17-year-old Jennifer (Michelle Johnson), a Brooke Shields look alike, used her young and insatiable libido to seduce Matthew (Michael Caine) - her father's married 49-year-old best friend. 

The seduction began at the beach:

“Let’s go in.” Jennifer said to Matthew as she quickly unbuttoned his shirt and just as quickly removed her top to reveal her voluptuous young breasts.

“It’s too cold.” Matthew said.

“No, it’s not. It’s not too cold, and you’re not too old.” Jennifer said intuitively in an attempt to make Matthew feel more secure about their age difference. 

“Come on in Uncle Matthew…Poor Uncle Matthew. I don’t know why some people can’t get older without getting old.”

Matthew only needed to be invited once by a topless teen to join her for skinny dipping. 

After they splashed into the Atlantic, Jennifer looked deeply into Michael’s eyes and kissed him passionately. Then she aggressively messaged his neck and ran her fingers through his receding hairline as the rhythmical beats of Brazilian drums filled the air.

“Make love to me.” Jennifer pleaded.

“I’m twenty years older than you.” Michael said.

“Twenty-eight.” Jennifer corrected.

“Twenty-five.” Michael stuttered.

Subsequently, Jennifer removed her retainer, implying that she was about to perform oral sex on Matthew. Matthew removed his extra-large 80’s style red plastic framed glasses and fulfilled Jennifer’s request without the need of Viagra. 

After the camera faded, Matthew awoke on the beach with his face inches away from Jennifer’s nude buttocks. That is correct. Matthew had sex with his best-friend's teenage daughter, and to add insult to injury, he used her lower back as a human pillow. Matthew shook Jennifer to wake her up and misleadingly informed her that she had a very bad dream. To which Jennifer replied seductively, “I’m ready for another dream if you are.” 

At breakfast the following morning, Jennifer traced I Heart U into three heaping teaspoons of sugar that she spooned onto the table, which caused Matthew to waste perfectly good sugar and violently sweep the romantic words off the table before Jennifer’s father saw them.

Jennifer did not stop there. At dinner that evening, she repeatedly attempted to rub Matthew’s penis under the table and play footsie with him while her father munched on fresh artichokes from the farmer’s market and sipped on Château Brion. After Jennifer’s dad left their rented house, Michael put up a brief fight to ward off Jennifer’s advances until he found himself, again, staring at her young fountains.

“You should wear your hair like this. Jennifer said to Matthew as they lay in bed with disheveled hair after having sex for the second time.

“I like it like this. It makes you look older.” Jennifer continued. 

Thereby, informing Matthew that she would be even more attracted to him, if he looked even older than 43. And Jennifer informed Matthew that her love for him began when she was a 10-year-old nymphet.

Before they met for lunch to discuss their affair, Jennifer made Michael a gift, “no one else in the world could give him,” which was a Polaroid of her smiling topless with only a yellow rose covering her vagina. And you thought that teenage girls started sending nude pictures to their love interests after the invention of the smartphone phone. 

Once they arrived at lunch, Jennifer tried to convince Matthew that their age difference was trivial by reminding him that Charlie Chapman and Picasso married much younger women. However, Michael insisted on ending their affair before his best friend found out that he was sleeping with his young daughter. Jennifer did not take the news particularly well, and overdosed on birth control pills in an attempt to commit suicide. 

Blame It On Rio (1984) is based on the French film Un Moment d'Égarement (1977).

Roth's THE BREAST & THE HUMBLING : "Sucking" Pre-Teens and 19 vs 40

In Philip Roth's The Breast, Professor David Kepesh shared, “I want twelve- and thirteen-year-old girls. I want them three, four, five, and six at a time. I want them licking at my nipple all at once. I want them naked and giggling, stroking and sucking me for days on end."

Roth's The Humbling is about Axler's, a 65-year-old actor, affair with Pegee, a 40-year-old "lesbian". Although, a twenty-five year age difference clearly qualifies as an age-discrepant relationship, another scene in the book is more striking.

While Axler and Pegee were making love, Pegee mentioned to Axler that she found him a blond, with crystal blue eyes, long strong legs, perfect breasts and a member of the Prescott swim team.

"The breasts," he said.
"She's nineteen. They're solid and they're just up there...Close your eyes. You want her to make you come?... Squirt it all over her. Now! Now! Yes, that's it - squirt in her face!"

Thus, Pegen assumed that Axler would be more turned on by a nymphet than a 40-year-old.
