Lolita

I get sudden hard-ons while reading this book. Is this normal?

I get erections all the time. It's normal. As long as you don't constantly think about having sex with twelve year olds, you're probably fine.

Why would that be a problem?

I don't know how, when even the sex scenes are presented in an unsexy, too-cerebral way.

You can pretty much tell the people who haven't read "Lolita"—they think the book is sexy/smutty.

>I get sudden erections while reading this book

The point, sir.
What you're experiencing is the POINT.

It's the images that pop into my mind.

The only real cuddly and sensual bits are towards the beginning, namely that scene where he covertly rubs himself against her until he ejaculates. From an erotic standpoint that was the highest point of action of the whole book, and it was like less than a quarter into it.

Was this really the point? Is this widely considered on this board

Not whom you're replying to, but

>For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm.

I'm not fine then
