The book Lolita is about a 13 year old girl who has a sexual relationship with her middle aged stepfather.
Since then the term Lolita is an underage or just young girl who has sex with older men. The men are often called cradle snatchers if she's of legal age (and paedo if she's not)

It's a name of a book in which the character of a young girl is called Lolita. She has a sexual relationship with a much older man. The book caused a lot of controversy when it was written because of the theme. So when people refer to Lolita or Lolitas they are talking about sexually active young girls in their early teens.

It's a girls name. And Lolita was a character who was underage in some novel and an old man had sex with her. So now Lolita is used to identify a young girl who entices older men.

It's just a girls name, made famous in a book (of the same name) by Nabakov, about an older mans obsession with a sexually active, but under-age girl.

A "lolita" is a teenage girl who thinks she's so blessed with female charms that adult men just can't resist her. She gets ego thrills from thinking she's turning men on. A lolita is just the little Prima Donna about her sexiness. When the media accuse a girl of being a lolita, it might be true, or it might be one of those nasty smears the media occasionally engage in. You don't really know whether a girl is a lolita or not until you've watched how she acts.
