GlitterUnicorn Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 Hey guys! Just wanted to know what are your thoughts on the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov? I've seen quite a few little's and daddy's using the term and somewhat romanticizing it which personally, I find a little disturbing. For those of you who don't know, Lolita is a celebrated work of literature based on the pedophillic relationship between Humbert and 12-year-old Dolores Haze. This is probably why I find it weird when people in our community glamorize the term Lolita (no offence to everyone out there). While the actual literature is well written, I feel the author built his story to make us hate Humbert and it seems to have the opposite effect. Thoughts?
Trash Queen Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 I'll copy paste my reply from the last thread Lolita was my jam. The 1997 movie was great. Was it messed up and wrong? Yeah of course. Homeboy was sick and so was the director lad. It's basically a display on how stupid it is to be romantically in love withal an actual child because they do not have the capacity to being in a mature relationship. They are inherently selfish and will have the natural instinct to use an adult for gain. But being child like in behavior and moments of being little/middle/whatever can fit in the flirtatious nature of wanting to be called a nymphet. For me, it's just an emotional projection onto a physical representation of being vulnerable and in the care of a DD while having a flirty and playful persona. It happening for real is disgusting and wrong. But we're allowed to enjoy fiction because it's just that, fiction. I don't really care what some people feel about the word. I like it and it fits the ideal I've imagined for my dynamic.
Guest Zips Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 I have a friend who also knows a lot about this book. I'll tip them off about the post, maybe the two of you could have a good long chat about it! 1
GlitterUnicorn Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Posted September 16, 2016 I have a friend who also knows a lot about this book. I'll tip them off about the post, maybe the two of you could have a good long chat about it! Thanks I'd like that! I'll copy paste my reply from the last thread While I agree its just a work of fiction but I think the aim of the author is to make us hate him! I agree you can appreciate it because it's very well written, I just don't see why it's okay to use terms like nymphet because you're literally comparing yourself to a child who was abused and manipulated.
Guest Pastel.babybat Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 I watched the movie and I got more pissed at Lolita than Humbert. She was the one going all over him. But then again, can we blame a child for that? She was probably just discovering so many new emotions entering her teenage years. But in the end, it's kind of disturbing to see him falling deeply in love with a child. He should have stopped it right from the beginning. I guess I missed the whole point of the movie. I just feel sorry for the guy and for Lolita, and it just confused me completely.
Trash Queen Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks I'd like that! While I agree its just a work of fiction but I think the aim of the author is to make us hate him! I agree you can appreciate it because it's very well written, I just don't see why it's okay to use terms like nymphet because you're literally comparing yourself to a child who was abused and manipulated. Because I'm allowed to do whatever I want within my relationship as a consenting adult. You don't have to like it. This entire dynamic can be questioned from any side. From wanting to fuck a man/woman who is acting like a child or wearing diapers to wanting to take care of a full grown adult who wants to watch cartoons and color. All you need to worry about is whether or not it's between consenting adults. Some people get off on living through certain experiences. They get off on certain thoughts and situations. The only thing that makes it unokay is the lack of consent or if there is abuse taking place.
DollDirector Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 The thread was " Nymphets: I'm confused!! " . It's in " Sex and Health " still well on the first page.

stargirl Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) I'll copy paste my reply from the last thread It more a depiction a man taking advantage of a child than anything else. That being said, I've read the book, watched both movies, and identify as a nymphet. It has less to do with the storyline and more with the meaning the word is given in the book. I'm sure there are littles out there who identify with this quote: "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. " Edited September 16, 2016 by stargirl 3
lilsnoopy Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 I've been called lolita. It comes from the book/movie which I haven't seen but I've gathered it is a too-young girl and older man. For me it isn't that I'm underaged; it's that I take on a younger mind set and I can be innocent, loving, sweet, and cute. But I also am sexual at times and flirty and it can get mixed with the younger age mindset I can be in. That's only around daddy and he uses lolita as a term (sometimes) to describe me in that moment. I by no means support underage sex or justifying actions of those who prey on young girls, but lolita has become a nickname. It doesn't have to mean a 12 year old girl, it can mean a 18+ year old girl who acts like a playful flirty younger girl. I mean... if people don't like it that's understandable, everyone is different. I just have a different connotation to that name that people who are bothered by it do.
CrazyLittleBuggaBoo Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 I've actually been wanting to read this for a long time. But I's not buying it and way to lazy to rent it from a Libarary...
peridoodle Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 Lolita is one of my all-time favorite books, but I would have to agree with you, for the most part. The book is about a disgusting man who ruins a young girl's life. You are supposed to hate Humbert. That said, I think that a lot of people in this community tend to more often identify with the idea of the nymphet that the book presents - as in, they think of their little or middle self as fitting into the term's definition. To me, that makes sense - it's sort of a way to more easily categorize yourself. People actually romanticizing Humbert and Dolores's relationship specifically seem to be less common to me. But, then again, it is fiction, and as long as they are consenting adults and understand that this is inappropriate when applied to a real life situation with a real life child, I don't think it's too big of a problem, even if they might be missing the point of the book. 1
