Sorry for the long delay in postings (spring break was a massive failure at a vacation in the dominician, landing me in the hospital with a parasite-- just got back to school yesterday, so i am a bit behind). But, spending time in a hospital with only spanish dubbed episodes of Save by the Bell, does leave one with time to think. I've been reading Lolita, which has shed some interesting light on the initial root of pedophelia. I dont know how I didn't think of this, but the fact the fact that Humbert Humbert seems to have his pedofelic urges rooted in a stunted pubecent sexual encounter may imply the pedophile's juvenile status. Does this further emasculate male pedophiles?

Also, I'm thinking of renting Mystic Pizza. Now, I know this hardly has the artistic merits of some of the other films I've been looking at, but I think that is what makes it useful. Additionally, its the only film that tells a pedophilic story from the perspective of the child. Maybe the mainstream-ness of the film could also shed some light on the cultural views of the erotic juvenile.
