A lot of men pretty much want to fuck young girls (I'd argue its like 40% of the male human population), its just culturally frowned upon today and its indoctrinated in men from child hood to associate that want with weakness and disgust, so most men today have an aversion to it, even if they innately desire it
There's this joke I remember doing once with guys in my class, I'd have an image of a girl who "looks legal" and go up to guys and ask them if they'd hit it, all would answer yes, and then you reveal the girls age and magically that girl stops being attractive for some reason, her attraction didn't change, they would still fuck her, but their survival instincts kick in as they realize an admission of such a thing is a death sentence to ones social standing and they don't want to be under suspicion of law enforcement either, a lot of men pretty much have to lie to themselves and sexually repress themselves due to modern laws, which ironically can be circumvented if you move to a different geographic region, showing that age of consent laws are completely arbitrary
Its also not surprising there are studies showing that men downplay their attraction to adolescents -

The guys who I see virtue signalling the most that they would never have sex with an "underaged female",
ARE THE ONES I ALWAYS SUSPECT WHO ARE DEFINITELY ATTRACTED TO THEM, its like saying how much they are disgusted by it
IS A MANTRA TO CONVINCE THEMSELVES
I also made a thread about how companies are aware of male desires and exploit it:
Why do you guys think the sexual themes revolving around "teen" porn seem to depcit females dressing and acting like they are
way younger than 18
Its because "teen" porn for the most part is not about targeting men attracted to an arbitrary age of 18, its about targeting men who are sexually repressed in modern society, because they can't go after what they really want, young girls
