THE GIRL IN THE BOOK (2015): The Writer and the Nymphet

Alice, a book editor and writer, is assigned to handle the re-release of Milan Daneker's book Waking Eyes. Daneker had an affair with Alice when she was a nymphet and Waking Eyes is a roman à clef of that affair.

The affair began after Daneker started helping Alice with her writing. Strategically and conveniently, the tutoring sessions took place in Alice's bedroom while her parents, both book agents, were away. During his initial visits, Alice and Daneker spoke about her writing, but the sexual tension inevitably became too strong. Consequently, Alice kissed Daneker on the lips after he kissed her on the head. Subsequently, Daneker massaged Alice's fountains before he helped her reach her virginal orgasm.

However, the age-gap affair took another turn after Daneker ignored Alice while he dined with her parents, and he flirted with a woman. 

Lastly, Nabokov's Pale Fire made a cameo in the film, which reminded me of:

"Otar, a pleasant and cultured adeling with a tremendous nose and sparse hair, [who] had his two [thin-legged and green eyed] mistresses with him, eighteen-year-old Fifalda (whom he later married) and seventeen-year-old Fleur [...], daughters of Countess de Fyler, the Queen's favorite lady in waiting."

HER FATHER, MY LOVER (2015) & His Father, My Lover

Here's IMDb's storyline for Her Father, My Lover (2015) [友だちのパパが好き]:

An eccentric young woman falls in love with her sensible friend's flaky father and pursues him with no regard for the consequences, dragging others unwittingly into an inescapable emotional vortex.

And here's the film synopsis from Festival Scope:

“You're a sicko”. University student Taeko is appalled by her kooky friend Maya's attraction to her father, Kyosuke. His affair with [young] workmate Hazuki resulted in her pregnancy. His subsequent divorce from cancer survivor Midori, only encourages Maya further. Meanwhile, her jilted lover Tadokoro, who also happens to be her former high school teacher, begins to stalk her. Maya's obsession with Kyosuke sets off a chain reaction of imploding relationships, and all Taeko can do is watch...

In summary, Maya, à la Angela in American Beauty (1999), desperately wants to have an affair with Kyosuke, Taeko's much older father - especially after Maya learns that Kyosuke is being divorced, because he impregnated his much younger workmate. In addition, Maya, a Japanese university student, is being stalked by Tadokoro - her deserted lover and former high school teacher. 

"[...] you fucked my dad?"\YouTube

I wouldn't be surprised if Kenji Yamauchi's screenplay was based on a real-life situation, because, like Carissa Culiner shared on Live From E!, "[...] People have hot dads." And consequently, like Maya, some teens and young women have sexual affairs with their friend's and\or boyfriend's dads.

For example, in the YouTube video, "[...] You Fucked My Dad?", a boy asked his blond ex-girlfriend, "I'm I just supposed to overlook the fact you fucked my dad?" And Olivia Elgart posted on the Daily Mail: "Now THAT'S a love triangle! 19-year-old girl confesses to sleeping with her ex-boyfriend's 56-year-old FATHER in a sordid online post"

It's a fact that DILFs and the Daddy Thing is a thing for (some) teens. 

PUPPYLOVE (2013): A French Teen Watches Porn & Limits No Desires

Here's IMDb's the plot summary of Puppylove (2013), which was written by Delphine Lehericey, the female director and co-writer of the French coming of age film:

At 14, Diane is an enigmatic teenager and a loner. She is busy bringing up her little brother, Marc, and has an intense relationship with her father, Christian. The appearance of Julia, a young charismatic and emancipated English girl, in her neighbourhood turns Diane's everyday life upside down. Diane, who wants to break the bounds of childhood at any price, goes through the most dramatic experiences of her life in the space of six months. The closer she is to Julia, the more she turns her back on morality, paying no attention to the consequences or the limits of her desires.

In the film below, Diane's father barged into her room while she was taking a break from studying to watch pornography. After Diane refused to turn off the hardcore pornography, she politely asked her father to leave her room before, in the very next scene, the nymphet masturbated in the bathtub. Below is Netflix's subtitles for the dialogue that took place between Diane and her father:

Diane: You could knock.

Father: What are you up to?

Diane: I'm watching TV [i.e., pornography].

Father: I came to say good night.

Father: Switch that off.

Diane: Good night.

In addition to the pornography and masturbation, the following erotic early teen behavior was exhibited by 14-year-old Diane in the French film:

• She unsuccessfully attempted to have sex with another teen
• She shared a lipstick lesbian kiss with her classmate, Julia, after Julia performed oral sex in the backseat of an older man's car

• She defiantly ran topless into the shower - of the boy's locker room
• She incestuously asked her father, "Could you make love to me?"

• She watched Julia have sex with the hotel's bartender while Julia's parents slept in the next hotel room
• She sensually kissed Julia in the hotel's bathroom
• She reluctantly performed oral sex on a man in a nightclub's bathroom 
• She witnessed her father gazing upon Julia while she posed in the nude. (Julia previously opined about Diane's father, "I'm sure he likes youngsters.")

• She and Julia had a three-way with a sailor in his cabin after commandeering his sailboat
• She pulled back the shower curtain to give Julia a peep of her wet father

• Julia kissed Diane's father, pulled down her whites panties and, despite his resistance, seduced him into having sex against a tree

According to the coming-of-age film's Wikipedia page, the film premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival, and it won a Magritte Award for Best Original Score, and it was nominated for Best First Feature.

Lastly, we emphasized that Puppy Love was co-written by a female to, once again, dispel the notion that only men write about nubile nymphets who are sexually attracted to men. 

Charlie Chaplin's THE KID (1921): [Pre] Teen & Two Men Love Triangle

Joyce Milton shared in her book,Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin, that Chaplin acknowledged, “I had a violent crush on a girl only ten or twelve. I have always been in love with young girls [...]”

In addition, Milton clarified that Chaplin developed a crush on 12-year-old Maybelle Fournier, he met Mildred Harris when she was 14-years-old, and impregnated her when she was 16. Furthermore, he was smitten with 15-year-old Hetty Kelly, and impregnated Lillita Grey when she was 15-years-old - allegedly before they were married.

And author and ephebophile J.D. Salinger was livid after Chaplin married Oona O'Neill. Salinger and O'Neill began an affair when O'Neill was 16-years-old, but after Salinger joined the Army, 18-year-old O'Neill moved to Los Angeles and married 55-year-old Chaplin.

Interestingly, Barbara Wyllie wrote in "'My Age of Innocence Girl' - Humbert, Chaplin, Lita and Lo" about the influence that Chaplin had on Vladimir Nabokov. For example, there's a reference to Chaplin's toothbrush mustache in Lolita and Chaplin appeared on a movie poster in Nabokov's short story “Easter Rain” (1925).

Wyllie wrote: "[...] it could be argued that the particular nature of Chaplin’s incarnation in Lolita is linked to Nabokov’s 1928 poem, “Lilith,” via The Kid, Chaplin’s silent feature of 1921."

In The Kid, a nymphet in wings, played by Chaplin's 12-year-old future wife Lillita 'Lita Grey' McMurray, who wrote a tell-all book about their marriage, was told by Sin (i.e., The Devil) to "vamp" (i.e., seduce) the Tramp. 

The pre-teen and the Tramp (32-year-old Chaplin) kissed before her Sweetheart (34-year-old Charles Reisner) arrived. Then the nymphet and her Sweetheart kissed. Surprisingly, with her Sweetheart's approval, the nymphet and the Tramp embraced and kissed again. 

However, after the pre-teen in wings refused to cease embracing the Tramp, her Sweetheart became jealous and pummeled the Tramp.

PRETTY PERSUASION (2005): High School Revenge, Teen Anal Sex, & Lipstick Lesbians

The tagline for Pretty Persuasion (2005) is "Revenge knows no mercy" and 15-year-old Roxbury high school sophomore, Kimberly Joyce (Evan Rachel Wood), shows no mercy in getting revenge on Brittany, her best friend, for stealing Kimberly's boyfriend.  Simultaneously, Kimberly "sleeps" her way to the top of her young acting career. 

In the teen film:

1. Kimberly received oral from her teen boyfriend

2. Strategically, Kimberly performed oral sex on the son of a powerful Jewish lawyer

3. Kimberly read an erotic letter to Percy Anderson - the drama teacher. In the letter titled, "Why I Deserve to be Punished", Kimberly confessed that she had been naughty, mischievous, and nasty. And that she deserved to be "punished" for talking in class. "I will gladly accept any punishment," Kimberly offered her drama teacher. Subsequently, after Mr. Anderson humbled Brittany during drama, Kimberly and Brittany falsely accused Mr. Anderson of sexual harassment.

4. Kimberly blackmailed Emily Klein (Jane Krakowski), a television reporter who was covering Mr. Anderson's sexual harassment trail, by making a sex tape of Klein "munching [Kimberly's] underage rug".

 

5. And Kimberly revealed during a sleepover with two other nymphets, while smoking her father's cigars and watching his porn, that she had anal sex when she was 14-years-old after Warren Prescott asked shyly, "I was wondering if you might let me pack your fudge chute." 

Here's Wikipedia's plot summary "Pretty Persuasion: 

A 2005 American black comedy/satirical film about a 15-year-old schoolgirl who makes an allegation of sexual harassment against her drama teacher [Mr. Anderson]

And here's IMDb's plot summary: 

A 15-year-old girl incites chaos among her friends and a media frenzy when she accuses her drama teacher of sexual harassment

However, these plot summaries incorrectly imply that the main plot of film is the false accusation of sexual harassment against the drama teacher, but that was all part of Kimberly's plan to get revenge on Brittany and get a role on a popular television show. 

And high school teachers may heed the advice that Mr. Anderson's colleague shared with him about high school nymphets that, "[...] high school is cock teasing 101 [...]"

Despite its salacious teen content, Pretty Persuasion was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, but won the German Independence Award/Audience Award at the 2005 Oldenburg International Film Festival.

Balthus at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome: Art or Teen Porn?

Balthus via Scuderie del Quirinale

There is a major monographic Balthasar Klossowski de Role (Balthus) exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale and Villa Medici in Rome. 

The Balthus (1908–2001) exhibition will run until January 31, 2016 and was curated by Cécile Debray who is the curator of the Musée National d'Art Moderne. 

The split exhibition contains almost two hundred photographs, drawings and paintings that were culled from European and American museums and private collections. 

We profiled Balthus in a previous post, and we discussed the art versus child pornography debate as it pertains to the artist.

Paula Vogel's HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE: A Teen's Sexual Affair with Uncle Peck

Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive is about "well-endowed" Li'l Bit's affair with her aunt's husband - Uncle Peck. The affair began while Uncle Peck was giving 11-years-old Li'l Bit a driving lesson. However, the opening act was set in 1969 while 17-year-old Li'l Bit and Uncle Peck sat: "In a parking lot overlooking the Beltville Agricultural Farms in suburban Maryland," while Uncle Peck massaged and kissed Li'l Bit's "well-endowed" fountains. 

Vogel incorrectly uses the term pedophilia in the play. For example, Li'l Bit said, "Even with my family background, I was sixteen or so before I realized that pedophilia did not mean people who loved to bicycle [...]" However, since the affair began when Li'l Bit was 11, Uncle Peck would more accurately be labeled a hebephile. 

Interestingly, Li'l Bit's grandmother was a "grown-up" 14-year-old when she married. "It was legal, what Daddy and I did! I was fourteen and in those days, fourteen was a grown-up woman [...]" 

And Li'l Bit shared a Mary Jane joke:

"Little Mary Jane is walking through the woods, when all of a sudden this man who was hiding behind a tree jumps out, rips open Mary Jane's blouse, and plunges his hands on her breast. And Little Mary Jane just laughed and laughed, because she knew her money was in her shoes."

In age-discrepant affairs, the hebephiles\ephebophiles are often accused by commoners of taking advantage of innocent nymphets; however, Aunt Mary accused Li'l Bit of seducing Uncle Peck.

"And I want to say this about my niece. She's a sly one, that one is. She knows exactly what she's doing; she's twisted Peck around her little finger and thinks it's all a big secret [...] Well. I'm counting the days until she goes away to school." 

The affair ended after Li'l Bit matriculated into a "fancy" college, and Uncle Peck committed a seduction faux pas by becoming needy, not letting Li'l Bit advance the affair, and showering her with unwanted gifts e.g., "You've only been away two days and it feels like months." "I'm sending you a tape cassette - it's a new model [...]" "A bouquet of roses." "A box of chocolates." "[...] here's a book in return: Liaisons Dangereuses."

Ultimately, Li'l Bit shared "[...] I got kicked out of that fancy school in 1970. Some say I got caught with a man in my room. Some say as a kid on scholarship I fooled around with a rich man's daughter [i.e., lipstick lesbianism]."  

How I Learned to Drive premiered off-Broadway in 1997 at the Vineyard Theater and Vogel received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama the following year.

Tavi Gevinson’s ROOKIE: Advice for Teens Attracted to Older Men

We've referenced a number of books in The Allure of Nymphets about age-discrepant relationships such as Jennifer Gordon’s Jennifer Fever and Belisa Vranich and Laura Grashow’s Dating the Older Man. However, despite their helpfulness, those books weren't written for nymphets. Nonetheless, Tavi Gevinson’s teen magazine, Rookie, filled the void. 

In addition to the magazine containing several articles on masturbation, such as “Do It Yourself”, 22-year-old Amy Rose Spiegel wrote in the article “Older Men” that “One of the most frequent Just Wondering questions we get here at Rookie is some variation on the following: 

“I’m a teenager and I’m thinking about dating/am intensely attracted to a person who’s significantly older than me. THOUGHTS?”

Spiegel began by sharing that she “has always been interested in older dudes” and “has also dated quite a few of them” For example, Spiegel dated a 28-year-old college graduate when she was a “smart and self-aware” 15-year-old. 

She dissuaded the stereotype about dirty old men by writing “Finally, I don’t mean for this article to read as “A HORRIBLE OLD MAN TOOK MY YOUTHFUL INNOCENCE,” because that’s not what happened. I made my own decisions when I was 15, and I enjoyed the majority of the time I spent dating that 28-year-old as well as the older dudes who came after him.” 

And Spiegel wrote that at the time she “romanticized” about being Lolita and that she “[...] idealized the thought of someone being single-mindedly obsessed” with her the way Humbert was obsessed with Lolita.  (However, she misleadingly wrote that Lolita was a “[...] story about an adult man kidnapping, molesting, and raping an adolescent girl.)

Spiegel comforted the nymphet readers of Rookie by writing:

• “First, being attracted to older guys is completely and totally normal.”
• “It doesn’t mean you have “daddy issues””
• “Being attracted to someone older just means you are a human person who sometimes thinks other human people are sexy!”
• “YOU ARE VERY MATURE FOR YOUR AGE...So it’s totally fine to moon over people who are older than you!”
• “It’s totally doable, as long as you keep some things (*cough* MY INSANELY WISE WORDS BELOW *cough*) in mind.”

Here are Spiegel’s “insanely wise words”:

Spiegel warned that even if a nymphet tricks an ephebophile into believing that she is of legal age by, for example, flashing him a fake ID, the ephebophile could still go to jail (for a very long time) for even planning to have sex with an underage maiden.

Spiegel advises that if a nymphet should feel secure about disagreeing with her older partner, her friends and family should be respected, and that she should be treated as a peer. However, if she has doubts about whether or not those aspects of the relationship are being fulfilled, she should not have a relationship with anyone “older than a quarter of the years” the nymphet has been alive. Thus, according to Spiegel, a 16-year-old should not have a relationship with anyone over 20. But what about 15-year-old Spiegel's 28-year-old college graduate boyfriend?

Ironically, Spiegel encourages girls to wait to have relationships with older men, because girls “can never have a real high school romance (e.g., “passing love notes in class”) again after 12th grade is over.” I doubt that this advice will prevent a girl from having a relationship with an older man, because I have observed that girls who are in age-gap relationships often have young boyfriends as well.

Initially, Spiegel advised nymphets not to get into illegal age-gap relationships because of the possibility of jail time for the ephebophiles, but, in addition, she advises girls to avoid age-discrepant relationships because “Keeping things underground gets tiring and frustrating, not to mention a little overwhelming, really quickly [...] Having a significantly older partner severely limits the stuff you can do together, too. You can’t exactly bring a 30-year-old to prom!” Thus, it appears that Spiegel opines that it is more important that a nymphet avoid feeling tired, frustrated and overwhelmed than it is for the ephebophile to avoid jail time.

Spiegel warned “[I]f a person who is of legal drinking age or above makes a habit of courting people who are in high school, there’s a good chance they might be a pedophile (or, if you want to be super technical, an ephebophile). However, as we know from The Allure of Nymphets, The Red Queen and Are All Men Pedophiles?(2013), all men in fact are ephebophiles; however, only some men act upon it (e.g., Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Woody Allen, etc.). And it’s worth pointing out that just like in Lolita, Cruel Intentions 2: Manchester Prep (2000), and Pretty Little Liars - the book and television series, teen girls are often the initiators of age-discrepant relationships - not the ephebophiles.

Spiegel alerted nymphets against being manipulated by older men, but everything she warned against often occurs in age-consistent relationships as well. Teen girls are frequently manipulated, disrespected, undervalued and controlled by teen boys. Who other than teen boys gets angry when girls don’t return their text messages “fast enough”?

Here is another example of Spiegel making a general statement about ephebophiles that relates just as well or even better to teen boys. She wrote that older men are “less likely to wait before moving past the tonsil-hockey stage.” Spiegel is inconceivably implying that teen boys are more patient and understanding of a girl’s desire to maintain her maidenhood than older men.

Spiegel’s “insanely wise words” are somewhat anti-age-gap relationships; however, she ends the article by writing “And for all the dangers that come with dating older people, there are upsides [...] It’s nice to be around people who are assured of themselves and their interests, a quality that usually increases the longer you’ve been hanging out on planet Earth [...] Just be sure—and I say this to you no matter what age your love interest happens to be—that you and of course THEY are responsible and respectful in actions and behaviors; that you are equal partners; that you feel like you can get out of it at any time, for any reason, without fear; and that you are happy...OK? All right, get along. As always, be safe and enjoy…”

CRUEL INTENTIONS 2: MANCHESTER PREP (2000): A Prep School Teen Masturbation in Central Park

I wrote about Cruel Intentions (1999) in The Allure of Nymphets and how the film was the genesis for the book. However, Cruel Intentions 2: Manchester Prep (2000)  was even more revealing, which isn't surprising considering that both films were written and directed by Roger Kumble and were "suggested" by the French book  Les Liaisons dangereuses.

Cruel Intentions 2: Manchester Prep contains:

1. An age-discrepant relationship between sophomore Kathryn Merteuil and Assistant Headmaster Steve Muller. The surprisingly realistic dialogue between Kathryn and the Assistant Headmaster will sum up their relationship suitably. Kathryn threatened to expose their affair, that she initiated, if gym class wasn't removed from her schedule. Apparently, she didn't like to sweat.

Kathryn: "Isn't it against the rules for someone of your age to seduce a minor like you did to me this summer in The Hamptons?"

Assistant Headmaster: "It was you who seduced me!"

Kathryn: "You know. You're right. It was me who seduced you but then again, who will the school board believe. It's my word against yours. Think about it Steve. Something like this could ruin your career. Not to mention your marriage."

As hard as it is for feminists and teen boys to admit, IRL and in fiction, it's very often the schoolgirl who initially seduces the teacher slash assistant headmaster; therefore, it typically falls on the teacher to resist the allure of a nymphet to avoid violating age-of-consent and/or workplace laws and rules. In other words, very few teachers, or men in general, have the skills to seduce a nymphet.

2. Two lipstick lesbian kissing scenes are in the film, but the most salacious incestuous kiss took place between topless seniors played by real-life twins Alicia and Annie Sorell.

3. And in a scene that may be inspiring to the nymphet readers of Rookie magazine, freshman Cherie Claymon masturbated upon a horse in Central Park which was all part of Kathryn's plot to turn Cherie into the "...premier slut of Manchester Prep."

Those scenes took place between raunchy quotes like, "As the school motto goes, if you don't snort it, suck it." "I'm tired of being the only virgin of the sophomore class." And "Yesterday was my first kiss. Now you're practically touching my breast. [At] this rate, your dick will be in my mouth by lunch." "Anyone for lunch?"

Tavi Gevinson's ROOKIE Teaches Teens How to Masturbate

Illustration by Emma D. via Rookie

Here is what is written in the About section of Rookie magazine:

Rookie is an online magazine and book series for teenagers. Each month, a different editorial theme drives the writing, photography, and artwork that we publish.

Rookie is edited by 19-old Tavi Gevinson. I became acquainted with Gevinson in 2014 after reading her New York magazine profile which promoted her first Broadway performance in This Is Our Youth. (I picked up a used copy of the raunchy teen play from Strand since the Broadway performance was cost prohibitive as it would be for most New York City based writers.)

Last week, while I was making copies in the teen section of a Manhattan private library, I noticed Rookie Yearbook One edited by Tavi Gevinson standing between two other thick volumes. Among other solicitous content, Rookie Yearbook One, which is the print edition of the online teen magazine, contained the article “Do It Yourself: What We Talk About When We Talk About Masturbation” by Jamie. 

Jamie wrote, fulfilling almost every man's fantasy about what takes place at nymphet sleepovers: 

“Among my friends that are girls, secrets about masturbating make up the largest category of things that I am ill-advisedly made privy to. As soon as things get a little drunk-after-prom or giggly-at-a-sleepover, everyone gets all, “I totally masturbate … isn’t that CRAZY?!””

Jamie first learned about female masturbation when she was about 14: 

“I didn’t even know that female masturbation was a thing until my best friend came clean to me in the fall of freshman year. “What do you mean you’ve never masturbated?” she asked. “I thought everyone did.”

Here is a list of questions that Jamie wished that someone would have answered for her before she started masturbating as well as some vignettes on masturbation that she compiled:

1. Is masturbating wrong?

Jamie answered that some things are wrong like murder and bullying but that “Masturbation is a healthy, natural, NORMAL activity.”

2. Am I the first/last person in the world to try this?

Jamie answered this question by writing “Whatever age you decide to start masturbating, if you do, is “normal.”” And she related an anecdote from Danielle who shared that she started fingering herself in middle school: 

“I can’t even remember the first time I masturbated. I constantly humped just about everything when I was little […] pillows, stuffed animals, etc. I never attached any sexual feelings or concepts to it until about middle school, which was the same time I first fingered myself. For me, I never considered humping or clitoral stimulation to be sexual until about that age.” –Danielle,* 19

3. Why should I masturbate?

Jamie answer by writing “[…] because you want to.”

4. So how do I actually do it?

In addition to using spit on the fingers as a lubricant, Jamie suggested the following:

“You can stick varying numbers of fingers inside of your actual vagina […]”

“You can also try touching your clitoris.”

“In the same way that you can finger your vagina, you can also finger your anus (yes, that anus).”

And she recommended using the “shower sprayer”: “Spray it on top of your clit, not into your vagina. Start at a low setting."

Ellen shared that she started humping pillows in middle school, but she upgraded to a vibrator in high school:

“Back in the day, I mostly masturbated by lying in bed, face down, with a pillow between my legs, and humping the hell out of it. Eventually, in high school, some friends gave me a vibrator that was meant to be inserted, and I experimented with that quite a bit, including some anal play.”

5. Do I have to “come”? How do I know if I’ve had an orgasm? Jamie answered by writing:

“You don’t have to do anything when you masturbate. The success or failure of masturbating has nothing to do with whether or not you orgasm, and everything to do with your enjoying yourself and feeling good.”  

17-year-old Sophie shared: “Truthfully, I have never orgasmed when I masturbate. I’m still in pursuit.” However, 18-year-old Michelle revealed: “I almost always orgasm, usually once, but sometimes twice. I guess I do consider it more of a ‘success’ when I do, but at the same time [unlike most males] I don’t think it’s a failure if I don’t orgasm.

6. Should I watch porn? Is that gross? Am I gross if I like watching porn?

Jamie responded “There is nothing weird or gross about watching porn […]”

In the Danish film  Anna (2009), Anna’s mother advised her to wait until she turned 16 to watch porn. And in the French film Puppylove (2013) 14-year-old Diane took a break from her homework to watch some hardcore double penetration pornography, which she refused to turn off despite the plea of her father. Coincidentally, in the very next scene, Diane masturbated to orgasm in the bathtub.

And 19-year-old Erinn shared: 

“I watch a lot of porn. Like, a lot. I used to think it was kind of a dirty thing that I couldn’t talk to a lot of people about. I felt a lot better about masturbating and watching porn, though, after I started talking to my friends and (now ex-) boyfriend about it."

7. If I don’t like masturbating, is something wrong with me?

According to Jamie, “No”.

8. Is there a way I can refer to female masturbation without sounding like a health-class teacher?

Readers of Rookie suggested using the synonyms rubbing one out, wanking, frigging, jilling and getting off. 

Interestingly, especially when taken in the current context, Gevinson was named one of "The 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014" by Time magazine. And she was recently a guest star on Scream Queens where she was having an affair with her mid-fifty-year-old college professor, which was loosely based on Mia Farrow's affair with composer and orchestra conductor André Previn.

Teen Anal Sex in Prime Time

I wrote in The Allure of Nymphets that the first mainstream teen film that I saw that made a reference to anal sex was Cruel Intentions (1999). In the film, Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) made a wager with her step-brother Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe) that he couldn't seduce a nymphet (Selma Blair); however, if Sebastian could corrupt the maiden, Kathryn agreed to, “[...] fuck his brains out,” and allow him to, “[...] put it anywhere.”

Let's leap over a decade to MTV's Awkward. Here's MTV's brief "about the show": 

This series takes an irreverent look at the conflict, chaos and humor that defines teenage life through the eyes of 15-year-old Jenna Hamilton [...]

In addition to other references to anal sex, on the third episode of season one, Lissa, a Palos Verdes, California high school student, offered her behymen (i.e., her anal virginity) to her boyfriend for respecting her wishes to maintain her vaginal virginity. 

In Pretty Persuasion (2005), fifteen-year-old Kimberly Joyce (Evan Rachel Wood) shared that when she was fourteen she had anal sex with Warren Prescott, which occurred after he said shyly, "I was wondering if you might let me pack your fudge chute."

We were floored when James, a teen, in Vacation (2015), asked the nymphet he recently met during the family road trip if he could give her a "rim job" (i.e., analingus).

Here's some the dialogue that took place between Katherine and Jake in front of the lockers of John Hughes High School in Not Another Teen Movie (2001) :

“Can I ask you a question? Why is it every time I tell a guy they can put it wherever they want, they always stick it in my ass?” Katherine asked Jake, the school jock, before she invitingly, and as some would opine, blasphemously simulated fellatio on the crucifix by slowly sliding the ancient symbol in and out of her wet mouth.

“That’s just way too much information for me Katherine.” Jake replied.

“Oh no Jake. Way too much information would be telling you that after they’re done, I always take a huge dump on their chest.”

And in MTV's The Hard Times of RJ Berger, RJ's high school classmate offered him: "Any time. Any place. Any orifice.:

Of course, this topic isn't limited to the United States. In the Argentinian film La Niña Santa (2004) [The Holy Girl]", there's not only teen anal sex, but a teen lipstick lesbian kiss, teen masturbation, and an age-gap affair. 

In the ABC News article "Study Reports Anal Sex on Rise Among Teens", it was reported that the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center confirmed my suspicions that anal sex is on the rise among teens and young adults. The rise was attributed to the ease of social mores, which sexuality educator, Cory Silverberg, attributes to the proliferation of pornography.

Consequently, Teen Vogue published "A Guide to Anal Sex [for Nymphets]", which: "is anal 101, for teens, beginners, and all inquisitive folk."

VICE News: SCHOOLGIRLS FOR SALE IN JAPAN

We've written on this blog and in the book about virtual, non-virtual and fictional Japanese compensated dating (i.e., high school prostitutes [Japanese: enjo kosai 援助交際])

And most recently Vice posted, Schoolgirls for Sale, a (short) documentary on joshi-kosei osanpo [Japanese: ＪＫお散歩]  - Japanese students who are paid to go on walking dates.

The Akihabara neighborhood in Central Tokyo is considered ground zero for joshi kōsei\JK [Japanese: 女子高生]  - high school girl culture. The neighborhood is littered with nymphets in Japanese school girl uniforms soliciting men for messages, walks around the neighborhood or to enter a JK cafe (i.e., "A store where you can chat with high school girls.") to "chat for half an hour" for approximately $30 - all of which may lead to teen prostitution. 

In addition, there are music venues where high school girl groups like Akishibu Project perform to "pack houses" of men who pay to meet, take and buy pictures, and touch their favorite nymphets after the performance. 

Yumeno Nito, a JK outreach worker, opined:

"Unfortunately, the underlying problem is that the girls are blamed for selling themselves. Most of these girls have experienced isolation at home or school before they reach that point. The Japanese government tries to solve these issues by cracking down on the girls. This problem won't be solved unless the adults who buy and sell disappear." 

And in a voice over, a Japanese nymphet opined: 

"Unfortunately the girls are blamed for selling themselves. This problem won't be solved unless the adults who buy and sell disappear."

However, we would opine that it's a two-way street and that the nympholepts and nymphets are both guilty of the same vice. For example, per Nito, [some of] the Japanese teens get into enjo kosai to escape isolation at home or school. And just like the Roman teen prostitutes, it's not uncommon for Japanese nymphets to get into enjo kosai to earn extra money for luxury goods. #twowaystreet
