Sometimes I wonder if this culture hate young girls having sex more than has been true in the misty reaches of time. In ballads, for example, girls sometimes get raped and murdered, it's true, but you also get girls coming on to guys, wanting to take take a roll in the hay--and this is seen as natural. Female desire is *natural.*

It's bizarre that on the one hand this culture can obsess about sex and at the same time make desire seem like a bad thing.
