Lolita was NOT written for titilation. Anyone who gets off reading Lolita has a warped sense of sexuality. Everything that happens to Humbert Humbert is horrible, all because he has a twisted fascination with a young girl. I would argue that's NOT erotica in the slightest, unless by erotica you mean "a book where people's negative actions come back and haunt them psychologically, and thus, the reader too."
Now, to something else that I think bears repeating. Paypal was NOT FOUNDED BY A CHRISTIAN HARD RIGHTER. It was founded by five different people at two different companies and a variety of venture capitalists. Even IF one of them (and one of them was) a christian conservative, he is NO LONGER INVOLVED WITH THE COMPANY. Ebay bought them all out and basically fired them all.
It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ebay. Has been for YEARS. The original principals at Paypal are LONG GONE.
