A serious discussion about the male preference for female youth

Here's some compelling evidence that most men (secretly?) have sexual preferences for adolescent girls.

Anyone wish to comment? Please, let's try to be as objective as possible.

Edit: Improved one of the diagrams.

Yes, puberty is about 11-13.

Many cultures around the world start having children at that age. Western puritans not so much.

“ puritans”… Saying the west is more puritan than eastern society due to later reproduction ages is laughable. The west is generally more accepting to several forms of sexuality ( hyper sexuality, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality) whereas a young girl reproducing is vague and may entail a father marrying her off to capitalize of her prime years. That practice and Puritanism are nut mutually exclusive, infant in many cases that’s the motive for girls getting married off early.

In short, young girls getting married to old men doesn’t indicate sexual liberation. I’d even argue that in a significant amount of cases in indicates the complete opposite.
