Am I behind in the times or am I right to think this is a big NO NO

Was just on UK hot deals and a link of Ann Summers came up. I clicked on it as it had 75% off. Started browsing and came across school uniforms. Why on earth would a grown adult want to dress as a school girl. It's morally wrong to me. I know I'm am being very unreasonable but needed to rant about it.

Berry odd?? very odd. Why do iPods have to auto correct angry

Just because your dh/dp wants you to dress up in a school uniform does not make him a paedophile lusting after school children. It could certainly be the Britainy factor or St Trinians, or the Enid Blytons school series.

If my DP asked me he'd have my killer stare. Sexy underwear, yes, school uniform, no

well each to their own, my dh is not into that kind of thing, but if he asked i would try and relive my youth by squeezing myself into my old uni lol, don't think i would look very sexy. I see it as like fancy dress not because you really want to get off on having sexual encounters with a real school child

"Just because your dh/dp wants you to dress up in a school uniform does not make him a paedophile lusting after school children."

No of course it doesn't.

The basis for the whole school uniform "look" is that schoolgirls are sexy though. That's where it comes from, in the first place.

I once heard that an old episode of Neighbours had Julie Martin dress up as a schoolgirl for her husband's enjoyment, but the BBC sensibly cut that scene out from the UK broadcast.

cannydoit · 30/05/2011 19:56

excuse me but i think you will find that at lesbian nights there are women dressed in school uniforms to look sexy for women, so its not exclusively a male fantasy.

BooyHoo · 30/05/2011 20:03

i agree canny. some women get off on sexualising children aswell.

cannydoit · 30/05/2011 20:12

hahahahahahahahahahhahhhaaaaaaaaaaa yes totally i agree everyone wants to have sex with children we are all pedos. just as the daily mail would have us believe. oh yes a daisys give you cancer and so do puppys.

Serenitysutton · 30/05/2011 20:14

Blimey, on of the oldest fantasties in the book isn't it?

BooyHoo · 30/05/2011 20:17

canny your response is very mature Hmm you will gain a lot from this discussion.

pigletmania · 30/05/2011 20:18

goodness me its a bit of harmless fun, not illegal if no actual children are involved. Hardly making actual children dress up for sexual enjoyment, its adults doing it. What do people think of the school disco type themes whereby adults dress up as school kids and go to a themed disco, and drink alcohol wearing a shock horror school uniform, and might get a bit erm kinky on the dancefloor.

I don't really see what she can gain from the conversation anyway, it's hardly intellectually simulating.

Younger women ARE gorgeous. Peachy skin, firm boobs, long coultish legs I wish I still look as I did at 16

BooyHoo · 30/05/2011 20:22

serenity younger women dont wear uniforms!! schoolchildren do!!

cannydoit · 30/05/2011 20:24

your absolutely right boo, but i had nowhere to go really when some one is spouting crap like that i am afraid. you just have to laugh at it and get on with your life. i could argue back and forth getting more wound up at your ridiculous hard line view because lets face it you are not actually interested in a discussion, or i can laugh at it, whack on my my knee highs put my pony tails in wait for my bf to come home and ask him if it makes him think of kids i am fairly certain i know the answer.
your inflammatory, you enjoy being so i think, i therefore choose to find you amusing.

SardineQueen · 30/05/2011 20:25

Are we still pretending that there aren't lots of men out there who find 13/14/15yo girls attractive?

It's interesting, when there are threads with people complaining about inappropriate behaviour towards girls that age there are often a lot of comments along the lines of once puberty has happened girls are able to bear children and thus men and boys are programmed to fancy them blah blah blah It's normal you can't call them paedophiles...

Yet here when it is pointed out that the schoolgirl thing stems from the fact a lot of men quite fancy schoolgirls everyone denies that this is true. And goes "you are saying all men are paedos!!!!!!!"

It's all a bit strange. People can't have it both ways!

Especially as most of us here once were schoolgirls and know how some men behave towards schoolgirls (and that it's not exactly uncommon).

Serenitysutton · 30/05/2011 20:25

That's what I mean. Younger women. Not children, obviously.

cannydoit · 30/05/2011 20:26

at primary school i did not wear a uniform, i did from the ages of 11 to 18 however. i do believe that you can legally have sex from 16.

pigletmania · 30/05/2011 20:26

Well at my school (private bording school) uniform was worn until 18 years old, and it still is I heard there, so no not all schools have non school uni policy after 16 years of age.

SardineQueen · 30/05/2011 20:28

Yes absolutely.

And of course it is absolutely fine for say 50 year old men to fancy 16yo, as they can legally have sex. If they fancied a 15 yo, now that would be disgusting. But 15 is fine.

Also the reason the sun doing "this girl will get her top off on her 16th birthday" was absolutely fine too. All good harmless fun.

cannydoit · 30/05/2011 20:30

sure i also remember looking a the boy he cut my grass the other day with his shirt off and thinking god he isnt legal yet that doesnt make me a pedo.

pigletmania · 30/05/2011 20:31

people dress up in uniform for a bit of a laugh and fun, not because they lust after young kids, that would'nt have crossed my mind tbh. That is what I see the dress up in the bedroom be it a schoolgirl, french maid, Police woman, etc.

SardineQueen · 30/05/2011 20:32

Many men who fancy teenaged girls do a lot more than just look at them though.

If they only ever looked at them then things would be an awful lot better than they are.
