Man, I run into this problem all the time. I'll be walking in a mall and see a girl wearing clothes that HAVE to have been sprayed on, wearing 4-inch heels, and I think to myself, "Hmmmmmmm!".
Then, from the other side of the mall comes some guy wearing a highschool letterman's jacket with the "Class of 2007" on it and starts talking to her about Mrs. Johnson's math class that day.
It's right around then that I get that "dirty" feeling and start looking for a police sting hidden in the planters.
And yes, for the past 100 years or so, the onset of puberty has dropped in children by a total of about 3 years. I think that is in the more developed cultures, if I remember anthropology classes from the 1980s correctly. I had a professor that linked it to an availability of resources (food) that signaled to the body that reproduction was viable at an earlier age.
I still get creeped out when I realize I'm scoping a youngster though - ewwww!
