Hee hee! I know the question is supposed to be rhetorical, but there are any number of answers. Here's one: maybe it's because a teenage girl who wants to have sex can usually get that taken care of, especially when she looks like this:
I mean, a film needs drama, right? Some difficulty, some obstacle to overcome? Nobody makes movies about teenage boys who want to have sex when the teenage boy looks like this:

The iTunes version tones down the title - from "Goddammit" to "Dammit" - cleans up the masturbation scene, and dispenses with all the genital jokes in favor or an incredibly creepy (given the juxtaposition with a 15-year-old girl) Orson Welles(?) ballad. This other one? Dirty talk and funky tunes, and a much better sense of what the film is like. Content warning in effect.
