Nymphet

A nymphet is a sexualized adolescent girl. The term was coined by Vladimir Nabokov in the novel Lolita, in which the main character, a pedophile, uses it to describe the girls aged 9 to 13 to whom he is attracted.

The archetypical nymphet is the character Lolita of Vladimir Nabokov's novel, from which the term originated. Lolita has been filmed twice: the first adaptation was made in 1962 by Stanley Kubrick, and starred James Mason, Shelley Winters, Peter Sellers and, as Lolita, Sue Lyon; and in 1997 starring Jeremy Irons and Dominique Swain. Nabokov was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on the earlier film's adapted screenplay, although little of this work reached the screen.
