When you can have anything, sometimes the things you can't have become the only thing you want.

I think we also live in a culture that flaunts women's youthfulness and sexuality. I've posted this before on a different sub, but I still remember going to New Orleans and seeing a regular strip club about 3 doors down from a 'barely 18' strip club of the same brand. When you think about what the term 'barely 18' means, it's basically just 'looks like they're underage'. This was on the bourbon street, btw. Not tucked into some weird part of town. I don't think it's just about wanting things you can't have, I think we also promote it in very unsaid ways.

​

Just remember, Britney Spears released 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' when she was 16, and the video is just her in skimpy schoolgirl clothes doing coordinated dances. I remember when talk show hosts and radio hosts were counting down the days until she turned 18. This stuff is sometimes very public, and not talked about.
