Well, at least I can fuck DDLG girls, r-right?

>tfw he could have just kept kissing her, hugging, cuddling, giving gifts and dressing her in cute dresses, and caressing her warm scalp with kisses and telling her he loved her, but instead chose to throw it all away forever
Fucking idiot Humbert

>This is the most truthful Humbert ever gets. It is here that he is showing the world that everything that came before in the story was twisted by his own obssession and only in the moments of his greatest anguish was he able to admit the monster he was.
I disagree. That may be true in Part 2, but I still think that most of Part 1 was truthful and honest. He even comes to the point of admitting that he contemplated killing Charlotte etc, why would he have any reason to lie about anything else?

But according to common wisdom, half of marriages end in divorce, which is something extremely stressful, so the
chances that you'll find a partner worth having is already cut in half, and if you fall on the bad half, then you also have to end up wasting thousands of dollars on the divorce and the divorce woman. The other half is just there for the kids, or financial stability, or because you don't wanna go through divorce, or because your families don't accept divorce, or because you're too old or ugly to find another partner, or because you don't know how to date anymore and myriad other reasons. I'd guess the sort of marriage you're talking about is less than 1%, where they're soulmates for life. And besides that, to find this it takes a shitton of effort that could be gone into achieving Zen or a myriad other things.

Did you mean love of God then?

>>11140834
kek. Women's love is so short.

>>11140825
>For love
Is it worth it though? What even is love without passion? Just seems like empathy and kindness to me. I could get the same, and much more of that from just becoming a monk or something.

>>11140814
>tfw what you are saying is that all relationship's passion is doomed to die
Why even live?

>>11140797
>knowing there are true love stories out there irl.
I'm sorry anon, but... I don't think there are. What ends up is that these couples end up learning how to be comfortable with each other and really enjoy each other's company, but the passion is never there. Infatuation dies. see chart.

>. Through his infatuation with Lolita's innocence, he destroys it and has nothing more to be infatuated with.

>Were Humbert to truly have loved innocence, instead of just being infatuated with it, he would have protected it instead of turning it to ash.
You are right anon. I agree 100% with you. That's why I think that his worst fucking mistake was to have fallen to his lusts and have fucked her at the end of Part 1. The romance should have gone on and her innocence preserved. It really seemed like they could be in love, they could be "lovers" and kiss and tease each other etc, and he be a carer and an example to Lolita, but he had to throw it all away because he couldn't control himself. For fuck's sake.

>>11140778
>You can find someone professional to help you.
>tfw I have gone so far on erotomania to the point I cried uncontrollably the other day from watching the movie Lolita.
I literally felt pain from the crying, I didn't think that was possible, but I did.
I don't think I can be saved anon.

>>11140763
or the only thing I can do is have*

>tfw the Lolita of my dreams will never come true
How do I deal with this feel anons, or is the only thing I can do to have meaningless promiscuous sex with DDLG girls and then cry myself to sleep knowing that being in mad teenage love is never going to be possible?

>>11140686
>>Not that I am a fucking pedo or anything
>Yes you are

I'm not though.

>>11140721
> the short period of happiness, and boom! the abrupt, long downhill descent as Humbert has to live with reality for the rest of his life. It's not a romance novel, it's a real love story with real consequences.
Fuck me anon. You're gonna make me fucking tear up. Is all love and infatuation faded to die as soon as it comes? Is love really not the answer for satisfaction in life, and I don't mean "love" as you see in companionship, but being madly in love. Is it always gonna fade and turn to shit?

>>11140706
>Lolita is really about the observer effect, perfection impermanence, and the old cliche "be careful what you wish for"
Isn't all love like this though?

>If anything Lolita should be a cautionary tale for you....You'll realize that the only thing you've done by taking what you thought you wanted is to ruin it.
I think you are right. I think you are absolutely right. Love is a serious mental illness, a clouding of reality as it is, some may say. It's really sad but it's true. Falling in love just ruins everything, we have to find happiness outside of love. It's the only way. Lolita really is a testament of how fucked up, crazy, insane and dangerous love is. A lot of times, it's better to never fall in love in the first place, at least if you want to find happiness outside of love and if you don't want awful heartbreak and the like.

I still think Part 1 should have lasted much, much longer. It's fiction after all, and those moments and magic where Humbert chased after Lolita like Apollo chasing Daphne should have lasted much longer.

>>11140686
Damn anon, why do you have to be such a buzzkill? I just wanted to read more of those teases and kisses that Humbert gave Lolita, and her jokingly say "We are lovers, aren't we?" and his words of love.
I still think the book is too short. I know that reality starts to creep in Part 2, but since it's fiction Nabokov could at least have extended the writing of infatuation and told us more about the romance and him making slow advances towards Lolita and more love prose. What a fucking bummer.

>>11140684
The guy dies in the end, doesn't he?

Is there ANY story of love between a man and an underage girl that works or am I just a delusional creep?

>>11140263
>Tight little girl pussy is amazing
How do you know this anon

>>11140625
Damn, that's pretty truthful. In Part 1 he was just disgusted at how Charlotte behaved towards Lolita, and she was seen as an innocent pretty girl who was just being a daisy girl acting appropriate to her age. Charlotte was seen as the villainous "step-mother", but then in Part 2 Humbert says: "Charlotte, now I understand what you meant!" in reference to the way she treated her. Goddamn

>>11140544
>Not even H.H. was this retarded.
Yes he was. The absolute bratness of Lolita took him by surprise.

>>11140428
Posted wrong pic but I guess this is also ok

>>11140382
Sorry anon. Damn, I still remember that story. It's really fucking sad.

>>11140330
>Obviously you don't (or shouldn't) read through large tracts of disturbing content and torture yourself, but you shouldn't flee from its happenstance.
Yeah, so basically, what people like us should do is to not see or read about all of this fucking useless awful shit that just brings painful and awful thoughts to our minds, but still be completely aware and knowing of the awful horrors of the World, but those which actually do happen in real life. Something like reading about WW2 and the like in order to know the reality of the World, but not going out of your way to reading a book in detail about people eating shit as a sexual practice, as the intrusive thoughts will just fuck you and your sexuality up for absolutely no reason, since you aren't learning anything about the World.
