Lolita \pronunication\ n [after Lolita, character in the novel Lolita (1955) by Vladimir Nabokov] (1959): a precociously seductive girl

Well, I don't know about contrasting the terems you suggested, but I do find it highly ironic that someone takes the pseudonym "Lolita" and then tries to appear to others as some kind of super-prude.
