The Allure of Nymphets chronicles famous and infamous age-discrepant relationships from Emperor Augustus to Woody Allen. And man's (i.e. ephebophiles) fascination with very young women (i.e. nymphets, Lolitas...) as shown in literature, films, plays, television, music, and the advertising industry. Did you know that 44-year-old Frank Sinatra had an affair with 14-year-old actress Tuesday Weld? Or that the NY Jets Mark Sanchez had an affair with Eliza Kruger, a 17-year-old high school student? And that "Californication’s" Frank Moody had sex with his ex-wife’s 16-year-old step-daughter? But this may not be as shocking as you think once you learn that prior to The Renaissance and the invention of the printing press, there was no distinction between children and adults, because the concept of childhood or children didn't exist. "Children," especially after the age of puberty, were considered small adults. And until 1897 the age of consent in California and in most states in North America was 10-years-old. It was 12-years-old in seven states and even more shocking, it was 7-years-old in Delaware. How did the ages get so low? Our early age of consent laws originated over the pond, where even until today in Germany the age-of-consent is 14-years-old, in France it's 15-years-old and in Spain it's a whooping 13-years-old. How did the age-of-consent go from 10-years-old in most states to 17-years-old? You can thank the feminist lobby for that. After reading about famous and infamous ephebophiles, you'll probably be intrigued; however, you don't want to end up like Roman Polanski and Jeffrey Epstein and go to jail for statutory rape, so in The Allure of Nymphets you'll learn, even if you over forty, how to marry the 18-year-old barista you've been fantasizing about as you sip on your latte.
