Explanation:

The duke's comment implies that the line "LADIES AND CHILDREN NOT ADMITTED" is a draw. It suggests that the townspeople are attracted to something that excludes ladies and children, hinting they find the forbidden (inappropriate as it excludes the 'innocent' - ladies and children) appealing.

The townspeople think that things that are inappropriate might also be fun.
