For those interested in a little Nabokov satire, go to:
http://www.sexualfables.com/the-age-of-consent.php
and drop to the link for Lolita. Or read it from the beginning in context.

A sample quote:
If Nabokov was a happily married man did he never feel those urges, or
when he wrote Lolita was he too old to feel such desires with intensity
and that made it ok, or was it because great writers are not supposed to
feel such embarrassing urges at all? Or was it perhaps because critics
cannot admit the obvious because it is self-incriminating: for men are
attracted to perilous nymphets, and they are attractive indeed.
