Half naked teenage girls

eris, I believe Lucki made the point that if the girls were totally divested of clothes, he would not be attracted to them as their bodies have not developed to the point that he finds sexually attractive.

In effect, they are wearing a ‘pseudo’-sexuality. Manufactured, not natural. Maybe that’s what most of the folks here are finding disturbing. I suppose it can be argued that the same is true of many women - however, those women are usually mentally equipped to deal with the effects of their manufactured sexuality, and I feel that these -children- are, generally speaking, NOT.

Yeah, I understand that point well enough, but I personally find that clothing, in general, is used as a method of increasing sexuality and otherwise improving appearance.

But the notion that one must want to sleep with a girl to find them attractive is a connection that I don’t think needs to be made here. I find young girls attractive. I do not ask them out on dates. I do not desire to ask them out on dates. I don’t even care what their names are. They are simply attractive females who happen to be young enough to make me fundamentally uninterested in doing anything but taking an extra glance as I walk by. I look at women older than myself, too, who I also I have no intention of forming a relationship with in any way, shape, or form.

If a girl is attractive in one way she need not be attractive in all ways. If a girl is attractive in any way one needn’t feel guilt or anger over recognizing it. To do so undermines your own sexuality.

I’m sure there are many women (and many men, for that matter, but of course we don’t think about young males being looked at sexually) in the world which can be staggering when clothed, but not quite so flattering when nude. Why this rule should somehow not apply to all females who choose to dress attractively… :shrug:

erislover- I’ll happily admit that some of these girls are “attractive” in the sense that they are good looking, cute, whatever. What they are not is sexually appealing, but they when they wear clothes that are designed to accentuate sexual appeal my mind reacts like that for a second. When I find myself checking out a 12-year-old girl in the same sexual way as I might a peer, it is disturbing to me. It doesn’t last, but it’s bizarre to realize that I was in that mode for a second in relation to that girl. I think a lot of adult men had the same experience when they saw the most recent version of “Lolita”- they thought the idea of having sex with a young girl was reprehensible, but they also found themselves very attracted to a 15-year-old Dominique Swain because of the way she presented herself. That was art that made people begin to understand something they thought they had nothing in common with. In that spirit, I present this piece.

Lucki Goes To The Mall: A Play in one act.

Lights come up on a a large fountain in a generic mall. Around this fountain people are walking past from store to store, carrying bags. Near the fountain KARYN, a provacatively dressed 12-year-old girl is lounging with her friends (who are at the mall all the time and maybe make one purchase for every 2 hours of mall time). Enter LUCKI. LUCKI is an upstanding 17-year-old leaving the mall with his efficiently acquired purchases. KARYN has her back to him and bends to pick a coin from the fountain

LUCKI’S BRAIN: Hmm, tight shorts riding looowww. Hoo baby.

KARYN stands up straight

LUCKI’S BRAIN: Damn! That’s one small shirt! Yowza.

KARYN turns toward LUCKI to speak to a friend

LUCKI’S BRAIN: Dude! She’s only twelve! Aww man!

LUCKI: What’s wrong with you, brain? She’s twelve! You’re messed up!

LUCKI’S BRAIN: Don’t blame me, Captain Pervo. You were in to that!

LUCKI: Dammit, I couldn’t tell! You’re worrying me. Don’t be checking out twelve-year-olds, okay?

Enter DERANGED GENTLEMAN, a man of about 35 with a bomb strapped to his forehead. He is dressed only in Crisco and sprinkles

DERANGED GENTLEMAN: I’ve had enough! Yesterday I slapped a six-year-old’s ass!

DERANGED GENTLEMAN detonates his bomb and everyone dies.

THE END

I’m not sure why. There were clear reasons why you responded in such a way, and there is no need to feel guilty about it. I find it no different than mistaking a man with long hair for a woman in the distance. I don’t beat myself up over that. Why should I? Society presents me with a physical archetype. Others emulate (intentionally or not) that archetype for their own reasons. We are often “fooled” by this.

So? I ain’t going to beat myself up over it. It is surely not the 12 year old’s fault that she can present herself in a manner beffitting an older girl, or a teenager presenting herself as a full gorwn woman. They simply have that ability to play on our senses, and I highly doubt they are being intentionally vindictive or mean about the affair. And surely my body isn’t trying to commit a subtle suicide by recognizing such visual stimulus patterns.

For all we know, they have increased self-confidence and are more at ease, socially, when they dress themselves up. I personally worry less about how I view them than how they view themselves.

If I mistake a 12 year old for a sixteen year old I am not particularly upset about it. If a 12 year old mistakes herself for a 16 year old we need to pay attention. If I mistake a 16 year old for a 22 year old I am not particularly upset about it. If a 16 year old mistakes herself for a 22 year old we need to pay attention.

But a casual glance at a potentially attractive female figure in a mall is not going to reveal such information, and it certainly isn’t going to bring society to its knees :wink:

I don’t see why you find a natural reaction to a decidedly pleasant visual stimulus bizarre.

Cute story BTW :smiley:

A bit of a tangent, but I was amused by how many more thread views this thread generated than any of the other threads on that page! Say the words “half-naked teenage” anything, and people seem to perk up. Kind of says something about us. (yeah, I know, I’m in here too!) :slight_smile:

Hmmm. Now, only if us women who are actually at the age when we’re apparently supposed to be showing it off actually had the self-confidence to do so…

Yeah. I’m 21. I’ve seen kids dressed like that. Dude, my next-door neighbor dressed up her 3-year old in bikini swimsuits! Um, I got my first bikini when I was 20. Just call me miss repressed sexuality, I guess. :o

You guys are generally taking the attitude that this is something new and shocking, and that back in ‘our’ day we were more demure.

I don’t think so. Remember “One Day At A Time”? One of the chief reasons for young boys to watch that show was to get a glimpse of Valerie Bertinelli’s “Camel Toe” (outline of the vagina, for those that aren’t familiar with the term). Camel Toe was a common attraction in school too. Girls used to have to lie down on the ground to pull their skintight pants on.

Remember “Who wears short shorts?” Well, kids did. I can remember many times when my adolescent heart went all a-flutter from seeing some girl bend over in her short-shorts.

Remember the nipple-fad? For a long time, the ‘in’ outfits for girls were tube tops which were guaranteed to show a complete outline of the breast, or those frilly while half-tops that were often partially see-through.

Oh, and women and girls both wore bras a lot less often back then.

Not long before that, the miniskirt was all the range, and boys of that age got plenty of panty-shots just sitting in school.

I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying that this is just life as usual. I imagine in 10,000 B.C. Og was saying to little Oglet, “Put another rabbit fur on! You look like a trashy neanderthal!”

I have three girls, ages 13, 6 and 4. The 13-year-old lives with her dad, who would NEVER let her out of the house dressed provocatively. Luckily, she shows no interest at this point anyway.

My two littlest ones do not wear bikinis, only one-pieces. And they dress in cute outfits, nothing slinky or slutty. They like wearing dresses in the summer, but only sundresses or dresses with characters on them.

I hate seeing little girls dressed like mini-hookers. And I just don’t understand parents who LET their little girls dress that way.

Sheri

Well, those were just the words that popped into my head when I saw two 14 year old girls wearing backless halter tops and shorts barely covered a thing… I suppose I should have said “profligate attire among adolescent females” and saved a lot of hornytoads the trouble of reading this - but nahh…I’m a stinker.
