A term used to describe a prepubescent or adolescent girl who is attractive and sexually responsive. She lusts after older men and is lusted by them in return. The term originates from the Vladimir Nabokov novel ‘Lolita’ which told the tale of the love affair between middle aged Humbert and his 12-year-old stepdaughter Lolita. It became a popular term in the 90′s when the teenaged Amy Fisher who shot the wife of her older lover Joey Buttafauco, was called ”The Long Island Lolita”. The term was also used a lot during the controversy surrounding the 90′s remake of the 1962 film version of Lolita directed by the late Stanley Kubrick. The film which starred Jeremy Irons and was directed by Adrian Lyne, had trouble finding backers due to the controversial subject matter. 14-year-old Dominique Swain played the title character, and the fact that a child actress was playing an underage character involved with sex with adults fueled the controversy. Lolita is also used as a euphemism for child erotica, child porn, or barely legal adult porn.
As a culture we seem to always want to turn lust around and blame it on the child in situations like this. Lolita was twelve years old. Twelve years old is a child. Fifteen years old is still a child. No matter what she is feeling, sexually or otherwise, it is always the adult’s responsibility to protect the child. So even if she waltzes into your bed, pulls off her panties and yanks up her nightgown and straddles your dick, it is your job to pull her off you, take her out of the room, go back inside and shut the door.
But really, when does it ever happen that a fucking twelve year old girl comes into the bedroom of a forty year old man looking for sexual contact. Maybe she’s sad or upset or lonely and is looking for love and comfort and protection, but so often this is conveniently interpreted as some form of fucked up seduction. A child cannot seduce an adult. Adults can and sometimes do interpret a child’s actions as sexually provocative, but that interpretation is actually sexual abuse. Yes teenagers have sexual feelings. Yes they are starting to explore their sexuality, but they are too young to engage in any kind of sexual contact with an adult. There will always be a power imbalance there. There will always be unequal footing, no matter how the child feels. This is why we have laws around age of consent.
1. Lolita is a girl who was considered to be a seductress, but really she was a victim of sexual abuse and exploitation.
2. I’ve always wanted to be Lolita. That fresh faced skinny little prepubescent girl. That’s what all the guys I know are attracted to. Young looking girls. Everyone wants to fuck someone who looks innocent. Everyone wants to take some young girl’s virginity. Everyone wants to be the first to deflower a girl and bring her into womanhood.
