Lolita is quite disturbing, IIRC, because the narrator thinks of her as a child, she
is a child, yet he lusts after her sexually.
Not saying it should be banned, at all. I'm a big supporter of the US Constitution's First Amendment.

. Lolita could be the same thing. Add a few years to the main characters love interest and tell it from the pedophiles point of view, look at that, a story that doubles as a how to guide

I believe Lolita IS told from the pedophile's POV. But it's been 20 years since I read it so I'm not sure.
Humbert Humbert is overcome by guilt due to his relationship with Lolita, so the book is not supportive of pedophelia if one takes the trouble to read it. It's a tragedy.
