for the common man, it eventually leads to civil unrest. The old guys with all the money buy themselves thousands of little girls to have sex with. The young guys who haven't earned any money yet get zip. All the women are taken by the rich guys. Women become a commodity (again), and the poor young man can't afford them. What's a healthy, energetic young heterosexual man to do with no sexual outlet? Why start revolts, commit suicide bombings, civil unrest. It is predictable, evident and continues today.
