Lolita

I think it's a known fact that people alway want what they can't have, and not having that one thing you want the most just intensifies the feelings, the want, and the desire.
I believe that H's want and desire for Lolita comes from those intense feelings of satisfaction that he felt from his first young love. Yes the fact that Lolita is 12 years old is very disturbing and that he finds such satisfaction in young girls is just gross but I believe that those "confused" feelings have to come from some unresolved issues or feelings.
When he speaks about Lolita he speaks of her like a god, even her flaws are perfect. He uses such deep meaningful terms to describe her and his feelings for her that when you overlook her age you kind of just look back and say wow this guy is so in love. I'm sure people reading this were very quick to judge him and say how disgusting an disturbing this was but what I am looking forward to is reading more Lolita and seeing how and if this relationship progresses.

Love and Limerence

Limerence: describes an involuntary state of mind which seems to result from a romantic attraction to another person combined with an overwhelming, obsessive need to have one's feelings reciprocated.

Limerence is that "love at first Sight" feeling, that feeling you get when you see that person and just their presence changes everything, that feeling that no problem too big exist because you have that person. I think it's a feeling we have all experienced at least once, its magical, exciting, and unforgettable. It's funny how the human mind can quickly trick someone into believing that this person is all someone needs to feel complete, It's even more funny how quickly we fall with out fearing consequences, it's truly a mystery how this happens and how quickly we can move from person to person and say we have these feelings.

Obsessive Sex

it's interesting how the chapter starts by saying that people combine obsession and sex, I say this because when I think of obsession the last thing I think about is sex, but then again today sex isn't personal an intimate anymore, it's more like a public affair, sex tape here sex tape there more and more porn sites less relationships based on feelings more relationships based on sex!. sex has definitely become a social problem, I cant imagine today like the society Davis mentions in this chapter having relationships but withheld from sexual acts, i think crime rates would rise, the economy would drop even lower and the world as we know it might even end, that's just how serious sex is. I do believe sex can be addictive, everyone searches for that feel good feeling and many people find that in sex. I agree that as long as people know what they are doing, feel good about it, and don't hurt others, then anything goes, sex is a form of expression and as adults everyone should have the right to do as they please with their sex lives!
