So this was effectively a confession right?

This is why I'm sometimes afraid of putting out writing that has dweeby or morally corrupt characters.
>>7492469
that's fine, we don't need more pedophiles releasing their smut.
>>7492485
I'm actually just talking about general negative traits of main characters.
All my pedophile stuff is under a pseudonym.

Go read LATH and try not to be a moron
No. If you read more than that, Nabokov does seem to have suffered from some aberrant sexuality, but I think it has to do more with an inability to perform in the way a woman wants. I don't mean he was impotent, but there is a recurring scene in his works where he has a woman sit on his lap as a one-sided sexual experience, and it happens enough times that I'm pretty sure this was one of Nabokov's definitional experiences.
I don't think anyone has any good reasoning besides a shallow reading of Lolita to think Nabokov was a child rapist. He might have been a pedophile, sure, but his description of the psychology didn't strike me as particularly authentic. He was more interested in trying to describe a kind of abusive sociopathy, it seems to me. The pedophilia seemed incidental.

You can say that again.
>Muh childhood even that has warped my views for life
Seemed like an explanation for Humbert's obsession to placate normie readers.

not only are you wrong in the sincere sense, but if you're saying this as a joke, then you misunderstood the book

We've established that already.

A confession that children are fucking horny.

meh that's not a 'confession', that would be a lazy restatement of freud.

technically
The words pedophile and pedophilia are commonly used informally to describe an adult's sexual interest in pubescent or post-pubescent teenagers. The terms hebephilia or ephebophilia may be more accurate in these cases.
Of course not. Nabokov was post-sexual.
me (in english class): you want to be careful not to identify the narrator with the author. they're not the same. clearly different. also, the intentional fallacy.
me (reading): what a fucking sicko
