...naive 18 year old girls who, as I think most of us can agree, are not terribly sophisticated and able to protect their own rights.
In rides the White Night.
We can always tell what excites them sexually by who they want to rescue. I see you have a thing for naive young girls. Of course, 14 year olds are even less sophisticated than 18 year olds.
Figuring out other people's psyches is always fraught with danger.
As someone who has been an 18-year-old girl, I would agree that I at least was not sophisticated and was easily taken advantage of by older men. Maybe other girls were more aware of the world and wise to its ways than I was. Doesn't mean I think we should change the laws and make 21 the age of majority for girls, but it does mean that I don't think that a culture that approves of 18-year-old girls selling their sex is very cherishing of its young women.
