First off I am not a psychologist, nor do I play one on TV. So following is based on how I see it.
I think the answer is neither. Of course there is a small group of pedophiles out there but the main motivation is likely different. The reason that this and other dancer outfits spark interest with us is that men desire what they don't have or can't have. The other reason is as one of my favorite philosophers said: There is no substitute for youth. And that outfit does advertise youth like no other.

Your average customer base, well at least the group that spends money on dances, is likely at least twice the age of most strippers. So that you are 24 or 17 is about the same from that customer's point of view.

Part of the attraction of going to a club and having a hot and more or less naked girl "dance" for us is that it is a fantasy world. So we want you to wear a corset, a hot tiny outfit or a school girl outfit because it drastically differs from our home life (in most cases). I am not even sure I have ever seen a real plaid schoolgirl outfit on an actual 17 year old school girl, but plenty of them in clubs and in certain kind of movies.

Unlike most dance outfits the school girl outfit does add another dimension to the above. There is a certain attraction to the naughty forbidden part of sex and as you pointed out real school girls are off limits. If I would be you I would not worry about it. If there is an easy way to raise revenue by a few points, do it. If "blond school girl" is what is in demand you should deliver relentlessly! Don't blame us; we are programmed to like it and will happily pay the associated price tag.

In Japan, the school-girl sex fantasy is rampant everywhere. I have to confess the girls sure are cute in their little skirts and socks. It is a turn on.

I think there is an element of pedophilia in it for some men, but also as zGerman gets at, it is also just taboo, and therefore appealing to many, Like anal sex videos, which seem to be about 30% of many adult video stores rental selection these days. Appealing due to the taboo nature.

I may be wierd, but i've never really cared for them. Maybe it's not having gone to Catholic school? Skirts are nice, the shorter the better, but i'd take a lil denim skirt and a short white top any day over a schoolgirl outfit...

Until 1969, such favored Ivy League schools as Yale, Harvard and Princeton were men only. So were the prep schools leading to these colleges. So any type of schoolgirl was a challenge, and most of us reached middle age without even talking to a cheerleader. So it is not taboo, but a searching for a lost chapter of youth. Proust called it "A la recherche du temps perdu." Vivent les ecolieres!
