Ephebophilia

Postby P0ppy » Sun Sep 15, 2013 11:00 pm

It's like every time I get on a porn site- a normal, vanilla-style porn site, every add has pictures of these girls that literally look thirteen. And they're even wearing pigtails and clothes that make them look younger, and it'll say something like, "Banging my dad's doctor!" or whatever. It's all "teen porn" now days, and these girls look seriously young. It's almost the new norm, it seems. Why is this such a big thing now?

It has been and always will be popular. Teens are generally preferred over adults in pornography, since males are wired to desire the youngest and most fertile females.

I would guess that the ideal female body in the minds of the average man is that of a 15-17 year old.

Simple. Fresh flesh attracts. Plus, I guess many adults could be considered ephebophiles (means being attracted to 15 - 17 year olds).

I think perhaps (and maybe I'm projecting) he was asking less why do men like younger girls and more why is it a societal norm to see such young girls in pornography. To which I would reply if it's not regulated then it knows no bounds.

Speaking of pornography- am I the only one who finds the whole business depressing? :(

It's not just in porn. The culture where I live is quite youth and beauty obsessed (and allegedly youth equals beauty). Old people are hidden away. They rarely appear in advertising or entertainment, unless they've been cosmetically enhanced and are selling vitamins or some other elixir of youth. If a geriatric person should happen to go to the beach, people seem to think it's okay to say that they should have to cover up because their wrinkles and loose skin look disgusting. :(
No diagnosis, lots of opinions, and a bunch of issues that I haven't quite figured out.

I've noticed that too.

As has been said it's just accepted or assumed that men prefer younger "fresher" girls. That's why there seems to be this desire to have sex with a virgin which, I'm told, is actually a rather messy/awkward business more than anything.

Normally I don't give a rats arse about vanilla porn, I doesn't do it for me, but I noticed an advertisement the other night were the girl didn't just look young - she looked about twelve. Not my thing, but still surprised me a little.

I understand that men want girls that are at their prime and not ones that have wrinkles or sagging of any sort, but it's the fact that the girls in these pictures look underdeveloped and that they put them in pigtails and little girls' clothes. And have the weird captions making them look super innocent...

Porn has always been about lust, thrill, and the unattainable. Now in the age where taboos are becoming fewer and fewer, the porn gets more "forbidden" to accommodate this. Hence (I think) the drift down.

Maybe we should all stop looking at porn.... . Cough...cough

They're actually 18 or over. They're intentionally "dressed" to look younger, hence to attract people to watch who are attracted to younger. There's also alot of granny porn, and alot of milf/daddy porn, so I guess its what you're looking for. I see no bias toward more of any kind. Except maybe asian porn. Though I like to watch that so I'm biased....

I've seen some stats that show 'teen' porn is the most popular category. However coming in second and third spot are milf and wife genres.

That sort of balances things out a bit.
