LOLA (1970): "He's Not My Daddy. He's My Boyfriend."

I heard the term nymphetishist for the first time in the movie Lola (1970), which is about, Scott Wardman (Charles Bronson), a thirty-eight-year-old erotic novelist who married,Twinky, a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl to avoid being prosecuted for statutory rape; however, the writer regretted getting married after the nymphet wouldn't let him concentrate on completing his next novel.

It's worth noting that Charles Bronson's character did a great job of not being needy. He let the nymphet take their relationship to the next level. For example, it was her idea to get married. He even used reverse psychology by saying, "It wouldn't last six months."

Interestingly, the lyrics of the theme song suggest that schoolgirls should be "[...] dumb but pretty like a schoolgirl should be."

Lola (1970) is also known as a London Affair (1970) and Twinky.

LA PETITE VOLEUSE (1988): French Teen's Sexual Affair with Married Lover

Here's the IMDb plot summary for Claude Miller's La Petite Voleuse [English: The Little Thief (1988)] :

In a small town in post-World-War-II France, an unhappy sixteen-year-old (Janine Castang) tries to escape her dreary situation by any means at her disposal. Three successive friends (Michel Davenne, a married lover; Raoul, a fellow thief; Mauricette Dargelos, a photographer and fellow prisoner) help her learn from her mistakes.

In the French film, 16-year-old green eyed and baby-faced Janine (Charlotte Gainsbourg) shared with her 43-year-old lover that she fell in love with a German soldier when she was a 9-years-old nymphet: 

“The most I ever loved was when I was 9. With a kraut [German soldier] at Nazi HQ. He had nice hair and a gentle voice. I think he was hot for my mom. He said I was exceptional. No guy after that believed in me.” 

But before Davenne would have sex with Janine, he inexplicably requested that she lose her virginity, which she subsequently did, and she wrote him a note informing: "I'm no longer a virgin. So, why wait [any longer]?" 

And after they had age-gap sex for the first time, Davenne inexplicably said, "You are a very young girl." Janine replied, "You just figured that out? Anyway, now you have to call me a young woman."

Unsurprisingly, despite her young age, Janine wanted to be treated like an adult, "Why did we make love? You don't treat me like an adult," which makes sense when one understands the fact that childhood is a (relatively) recent invention. 

La Petite Voleuse (1988) won the Best Film award from the French Critics Association.

Jack Nicholson (72) Propositions Jennifer Lawrence (22)

72-year-old Jack Nicholson did what many men would want to do, but would never have the balls nerves to do. He propositioned 22-year-old Jennifer Lawrence after the Oscars. 

While Jennifer was being interviewed after she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook (2012), Jack boldly interrupted the interview to inform Jennifer that: 

"You look like an old girlfriend." 

"Oh, really? Do I look like a new girlfriend?" Jennifer flirted back.

"I thought about it." Jack replied.

"I'll be waiting [for you after your interview]." Jack said after he dawned his sunglasses. 

It's interesting to note that Jennifer played a teen in the movie The Hunger Games (2012).

SOLITARY MAN (2009): The Daddy Thing | Ben Has Sex With His Stepdaughter

It's importance for men to avoid being clingy. For example, Solitary Man's (2009) Ben Kalmen (Michael Douglas) became "clingy” after he had sex with Allyson, his teen step-daughter, to which she said, "Come on Ben [...] I thought there was going to be a little difference between you and the guys my age. You wouldn't go simple and be all clingy and stuff [...]" 

Therefore, don't be "clingy" or needy. Even after the nymphet initiates the relationship, which she will if you're attractive (i.e., you have a high self-esteem, self-confidence, self-control, etc...), let her continue to advance the relationship - all the way down the aisle à la Hugh Hefner. However, unlike Woody Allen, one should avoid inner-circle game as it can lead to bad consequences.

In addition, this scene is an example of what a number of women confessed to in Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden: Women’s Sexual Fantasies about having "Daddy Thing" fantasies. For example, Bella shockingly shared that since she was eight-years-old, her father had always been her "fantasy lover during masturbation"!

In the end, Allyson shared with her mother that she and her step-father had "slept together" in Boston. 

PRETTY MAIDS All IN A ROW: High School [Teen] Student Fisted By Her Teacher

Pretty Maids All in a Row, Francis Pollini's novel and Roger Vadim's film, is about Tiger [Rock Hudson], a charming Ocean Front high school Civics teacher, who kept a rotating list of nymphets whom he had sex with in his office. However, once his students became too attached - he killed them.

We've written about the rise of anal sex among teens in fiction and non-fiction. For example, the protagonist in the novel Innocents had anal sex with one of his high school students; however, that may pale in comparison to what Tiger did to one of his students in Pollini's novel. 

In the novel, Tiger picked up "fresh, sweet" smelling Rochelle, a 17-year-old junior (The affair started when she was a sophomore), in his car and drove her to a: "[...] nook completely screened from the road [...]".  Soon after he parked the car he: "[...] glided into her trembling body [...]".

"Now My Tiger-" She gasped and said, trembling more and more. 
"Alright, Lovely-" Tiger said, withdrawing his shaft...
"Now Lovely_" She gasped...
"Wow, Lovely-" He told her, making his hand into a fist and easing it between her divine thighs, and upward, slowly, ever, deeper, seeking her, as she groaned, and moaned, trembling violently-
"Yes, YES LOVELY-" She said- His arm was gliding, penetrating, he was almost up to his elbow, he was drenching wet...

That's correct. The high school Civics teacher fisted his 17-year-old student. 

Roger Vadim, Director of Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971)

Teen Brooke Shields Sans Panties

Subsequent to Brooke Shields' (pre-teen) nude appearance in Pretty Baby (1978, she appeared at the age of 15 in some seductive advertisements for Calvin Klein.

In one Calvin Klein commercial, the camera seductively pans her cowboy boots, then up the right leg of her skinny jeans, and slowly across the nymphet's crotch before finally stopping at her captivating face. 

With her crotch still within view, due to her legs being spread completely open, Brooke looks enticingly into the camera and says, “You wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” Thereby letting the viewers know that her 15-year-old crotch was sans panties. 

Thus, the marketing team at Calvin Klein knew that they could use the allure of nymphets to sell overpriced jeans.

BLAME IT ON RIO (1984): Insatiable (Pre)Teen Love for Older Man

In Blame It On Rio (1984), 17-year-old Jennifer (Michelle Johnson), a Brooke Shields look alike, used her young and insatiable libido to seduce Matthew (Michael Caine) - her father's married 49-year-old best friend. 

The seduction began at the beach:

“Let’s go in.” Jennifer said to Matthew as she quickly unbuttoned his shirt and just as quickly removed her top to reveal her voluptuous young breasts.

“It’s too cold.” Matthew said.

“No, it’s not. It’s not too cold, and you’re not too old.” Jennifer said intuitively in an attempt to make Matthew feel more secure about their age difference. 

“Come on in Uncle Matthew…Poor Uncle Matthew. I don’t know why some people can’t get older without getting old.”

Matthew only needed to be invited once by a topless teen to join her for skinny dipping. 

After they splashed into the Atlantic, Jennifer looked deeply into Michael’s eyes and kissed him passionately. Then she aggressively messaged his neck and ran her fingers through his receding hairline as the rhythmical beats of Brazilian drums filled the air.

“Make love to me.” Jennifer pleaded.

“I’m twenty years older than you.” Michael said.

“Twenty-eight.” Jennifer corrected.

“Twenty-five.” Michael stuttered.

Subsequently, Jennifer removed her retainer, implying that she was about to perform oral sex on Matthew. Matthew removed his extra-large 80’s style red plastic framed glasses and fulfilled Jennifer’s request without the need of Viagra. 

After the camera faded, Matthew awoke on the beach with his face inches away from Jennifer’s nude buttocks. That is correct. Matthew had sex with his best-friend's teenage daughter, and to add insult to injury, he used her lower back as a human pillow. Matthew shook Jennifer to wake her up and misleadingly informed her that she had a very bad dream. To which Jennifer replied seductively, “I’m ready for another dream if you are.” 

At breakfast the following morning, Jennifer traced I Heart U into three heaping teaspoons of sugar that she spooned onto the table, which caused Matthew to waste perfectly good sugar and violently sweep the romantic words off the table before Jennifer’s father saw them.

Jennifer did not stop there. At dinner that evening, she repeatedly attempted to rub Matthew’s penis under the table and play footsie with him while her father munched on fresh artichokes from the farmer’s market and sipped on Château Brion. After Jennifer’s dad left their rented house, Michael put up a brief fight to ward off Jennifer’s advances until he found himself, again, staring at her young fountains.

“You should wear your hair like this. Jennifer said to Matthew as they lay in bed with disheveled hair after having sex for the second time.

“I like it like this. It makes you look older.” Jennifer continued. 

Thereby, informing Matthew that she would be even more attracted to him, if he looked even older than 43. And Jennifer informed Matthew that her love for him began when she was a 10-year-old nymphet.

Before they met for lunch to discuss their affair, Jennifer made Michael a gift, “no one else in the world could give him,” which was a Polaroid of her smiling topless with only a yellow rose covering her vagina. And you thought that teenage girls started sending nude pictures to their love interests after the invention of the smartphone phone. 

Once they arrived at lunch, Jennifer tried to convince Matthew that their age difference was trivial by reminding him that Charlie Chapman and Picasso married much younger women. However, Michael insisted on ending their affair before his best friend found out that he was sleeping with his young daughter. Jennifer did not take the news particularly well, and overdosed on birth control pills in an attempt to commit suicide. 

Blame It On Rio (1984) is based on the French film Un Moment d'Égarement (1977).

Coote's INNOCENTS: A Perverted High School Student Seduces Her Teacher

When I began doing research on the allure of nymphets, I was shocked when I discovered books, movies, and television shows with age-discrepant relationships that were written by women. Not only is Innocents written by a female, it's written by nymphet. Here's the plot summary from Amazon:

Written when Cathy Coote was nineteen...forcing someone vulnerable and naive into a sexual relationship to satisfy a twisted desire is perverted, even evil. But when the perpetrator is a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, is she culpable? And if the victim is her thirty-four-year-old teacher, shouldn't he have known better? When the nameless young narrator of Innocents decides to seduce her teacher, she immediately realizes that the power of her sexuality is greater than she ever imagined[...]and moves in with her teacher; together, they quickly embark on a journey into their darkest desires. 

What may be counter-intuitive to the naive, just like in real-life and in almost every book I've read and movie and television show I've watched, the student-teacher relationship in Innocents was initiated by the nymphet. Here's an excerpt:

I wanted you when I saw how you dreaded to touch me...it seemed to me that you were punishing yourself for your most innocent passions. You were charmingly, naively presuming yourself guilty of lechery, debauchery, debasement. So I...reached for that agitated pinching right hand of yours, and I took it in mine...I stroked it gently, with my thumb..Biting my lip, making my face tentative, I asked out of the blue, 'Will you kiss me? Please? Don't you fancy me?'..With one swift flowing movement [...] I knelt up, so as to have my face close to yours[...]. 

 

Lena Dunham's 'Creative Nonfiction' (2009) & GIRLS: Schoolgirl Bondage & Middle School Nymphomaniac

Lena Dunham has been referred to as the female Woody Allen as they share a similar sense of humor, and their works are peppered with nympholepsy slash age-gap relationships. 

For example, in Woody's Manhattan (1979), the middle-aged protagonist (Woody) had an affair with a high school student until he (regrettably) left her for an older woman. 

And more recently, Gatsby (Timothée Chalamet) shared in Woody's A Rainy Day in New York (2019):

"Amy was gorgeous and so sexually advanced. Word on Amy was she performed oral sex at a Bar Mitzvah. I think they should make that a part of every Jewish holiday [...] And what a great Hanukkah gift."

Creative Nonfiction (2009)

And here's some dialogue from Dunham's Creative Nonfiction (2009) that she wrote and directed:

“OK, so there's this girl. She's in high school. She's taken up with her English teacher. And he loves her poetry; you know, which is how the whole thing starts. And it's like that whole kinda like, see me after class thing. And he takes her away to this cabin that he has, which is in the country [...] He just kinda makes her sit there [tied to a chair] at a typewriter and write. And you'd think she'd be miserable - obviously. But instead, she's sorta under this, like, spell of creative happiness [...] I find the theft and abuse of minors funny." [Emphasis added]

"I find the theft and abuse of minors funny," is a revealing line, because Dunham shared the following in Not That Kind of Girl - her #1 New York Times Bestseller:

When Lena was approximately six-years-old and Grace, her younger, was one, Lena was curious about what Grace's vagina looked like; so, Lena leaned down between Grace's legs: “[...] and carefully spread open her vagina.” (p. 121) And Lena used to bribe Grace “like a sexual predator” for “affection”. For example, Lena gave her younger sister three pieces of candy to “kiss her on the lips for five seconds” and she would let Grace watch whatever she wanted on television if she would “relax” on Lena. (p. 150)

Girls s02e03

On the third episode of season two of Dunham's HBO show Girls, which won a Golden Globe for 'Best Comedy Series', Hannah's (Dunham) roommate (shockingly) suggested that she wear an outfit that was, " [...] inspired by a girl I went to middle school with who fucked both her uncle and her step-dad." 

Lena Dunham, who won the Golden Globe for 'Best lead actress in a comedy or musical series' for Girls, co-wrote that episode and, unsurprisingly, finds humor in a (fictional) middle-school aged nymphet (i.e., between the ages of 10 and 13-years-old) whom "fucked" her uncle and step-dad. #incestfetish

Girls s02e05: Hanna (Lena Dunham) & Joshua (Patrick Wilson)

And on episode five of season of two, the following dialogue takes place between Hanna (Dunham) and Joshua (Patrick Wilson) - a middle-aged married physician. (Hanna met Joshua only minutes earlier in a Brooklyn cafe.):

Hanna: "How old are you? I don't know if it's a rude question." 

Joshua: "I'm 42." 

Hanna: "OK" 

Joshua: "You?"   

Hanna: "24. So we're basically twins I'd say."

genera+ion

Lastly, Dunham's use of the allure of nymphets in her art isn't restricted to her writing. She executed produced HBO Max's genera+ion, which is a teen dramedy that includes teen oral sex, a teen handjob, teen lipstick lesbians and more. Dunham tweeted of genera+ion: "This show is so true, wise, funny and good - so proud to be a part of it." [Emphasis added]

The Nabokov Museum Vandalized

The Nabokov Museum in St. Petersburg

The Nabokov Museum in St. Petersburg was vandalized in 2013 by the ultraconservative St. Petersburg Cossacks for allegedly promoting  pedophilia. Yet again, the term pedophilia was used incorrectly. 

There’s a difference between the common and clinical definitions of pedophilia. The common definition is associated with men over the age of 21 who are sexually attracted to girls under the age of 18; however, the clinical definition of pedophilia is:

1. A sexual preference for pre-pubertal or early pubertal children 
2. For six months or more the person has acted on those urges or suffers from distress as a result of having the urges
3. And the individual must be at least 16-years-old and at least five years older than the subject of desire

The Cossacks may have been a bit more accurate if they would have accused The Nabokov Museum of promoting hebephilia, which is an attraction to 12 to 16-years-old girls. Ephebophilia, which is an attraction to 15 to 19-year-old girls. Or even nympholepsy, which is a general attraction to beautiful young girls. But not pedophilia. 

We would be surprised to learn that the Cossacks even read Lolita. If they had, they may have agreed with professor, novelist, and "men of letters", Robertson Davies' assessment in the Toronto Daily Star that Lolita was: “[...] not [about] the corruption of an innocent child by a cunning adult, but [about] the exploitation of a weak adult by a corrupt child.” And Daphne Merkin’s assertion in New York Magazine that Lolita was a “seductress”.
