Its pederasty and pornography.

No arguing that.

It is extremely well written, literary pederasty and pornography. In other words, you are correct.

It might well be... but, as a writer, the man has an excellent handle on the english language. He is an artist in his emotion and descriptions.

One of my favorites.

I simply could not believe the movie was made and shown at the time. Though there were no overtly sexual scenes the innuendo was thick enough to cut with a chainsaw.

Well, for sure it's not pederasty, for a couple of reasons. First, Lolita is a girl; and second, anal intercourse was probably not on the menu....

One might make a better case for it being pedophilia, but I think even that's a stretch for the particular character Nabokov created.

As for pornography ... one can plausibly argue that it is pornography ("the depiction of erotic behavior ... intended to cause sexual excitement"); and the profoundly disturbing part is that it's very effective as such.
