Re: The Nonce
porn historian,
If you want to write a book then you need isolation and to write for a few hours every day.
I will write another soon probably about porn.

Re: The Nonce
Er, let's just say that it's not my cup of tea; a modern "Romeo and Juliet" isn't how I would describe a book which includes descriptions of "passionate lovemaking" between an adult and a 14 year old girl.... Feel free to call me a prude.
And sorry to be a pedant/critic, but a proof-read would have been useful.

Re: The Nonce
Nabokov writes 'Lolita' and it's a bellwether of literature, Eroticartist writes 'The Nonce' and there's scepticism and discomfort.
Consider the song 'Young Girl' by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap with its lyric 'Young girl get out of my mind, my love for you is way out of line'. This is a song we don't hear any more but it would have been routinely playlisted for nigh on 30 years and was number 1 in the UK and number 2 in the US.
The subject has become controversial and taboo but it wasn't always so. We're all adults .. use your own judgement.

Hi Prude,
Why not a modern Romeo and Juliet? Juliet was thirteen and Romeo, some say that he was twenty one.

Re: The Nonce
Jonone: fair point, succinctly made. Taboos do change over time, reflective of changes in wider society. Morality is never an absolute.
eroticartist: I'm not familiar with the 'Romeo was 21' claim (his age is never confirmed in the text), although I do accept he is generally seen as older than Juliet. However, aside from the clear differences of time, context and prevailing legality, the driver of R&J is certainly not some "nonce" knobbing a tweenager. And why does everything now need to be a modern-day "X" anyway? That said, I assume this is the fruition of much hard work and graft on your part, so it's perhaps disingenuous of me to be so cutting.
