In some cases it may because a person suffered some kind of sexual predation when they were younger, but with most men--let's face it--it's probably because they THEMSELVES are sexually tempted by teenage girls. It's my experience though that if you ACCEPT that about yourself it doesn't bother you. A lot of girls between 14-18 can be quite attractive to adult males, but a NORMAL adult male has enough judgment and self-control not to have sex with them. So if you don't feel you have to overly repress yourself and you can ADMIT that Sue Lyon and Dominique Swain were mature enough to be kind of attractive, this FICTIONAL movie shouldn't make you especially "uncomfortable".
Very true.
Sadly, most people don't seem to be brave enough to admit that. Instead, when someone actually tries to explain how all of this works, people will look at him like he's some sort of pervert as well.
Without realizing that this is part of us, as human beings. No need to sugarcoat it: most adult men DO find girls between 14-18 attractive. BUT....as you said, they have enough self-control and know that there's a line that should not be crossed.

Agreed. Teen girls, especially these days, look better than most adult women, with the confidence to match, but if they're not at least 17, depending on your state laws, they shouldn't be touched or considered. My own mother doesn't even find anything wrong with it as does other members of my family admit that its normal.
By the way, who's to say what the next "sexual" movement might be, since the homosexual right has been passed. Things will be interesting in the next 15-20 years with what we're already seeing now.
