Bingo!
"are you terrified that you might be able to relate to HH better than you'd like to? What if you quit being grossed out and got turned on-- could you deal with it?"

'Quit Being Grossed Out'
A commenter, in the previous post, SVGL, does some pretty good literary-psychoanalysis and explains why I'm constantly saying I'm disgusted by what HH is doing.

My other post is relevant to this discussion. Here is just a random observation of the text: I noticed something this time around that I may have missed in the first two readings.(I don't recall). In his diary entry for Sunday that begins with "Heat ripple still with us...", Humbert writes, "as I looked on, through prismatic layers of light, dry-lipped, focusing my lust and rocking slightly under my newspaper, I felt that my perception of her, if properly
concentrated upon, might be sufficient to have me attain a beggar's bliss immediately; but, like some predator that prefers a moving prey to a motionless one, I planned to have this pitiful attainment coincide with the various girlish movements she made...". Did you catch how subtle this was...he could have orgasmed by "properly concentrating on her". Nab is the master master master of subtleties.
