I find the over-romanticism of the vampire as a literary device quite distasteful, not to mention the entire series is nothing but thinly veiled pro-abstinence "true love waits" propoganda

"I find the over-romanticism of the vampire as a literary device quite distasteful," I agree. It's a metaphor for sex really. -- nm - lileve Nov 21, 07:57 8

  - Okay, take away distasteful. But I just find it to be a scenario used over and over again. It's just not for me. - lileve Nov 21, 08:04

- the pro-abstinence stuff annoys me too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 07:56 8
  - What's so bad about pro-abstinence? -- nm - Dano Nov 21, 08:04 7
    - romanticizing it, I guess. it's all very precious. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 08:05 6
      - The book doesn't. Bella wants to do it right away and is totally frustrated with Edward's old fashionedness. -- nm - Amy Nov 21, 08:23
      - teen-age sex is also romanticized in popular culture so why not also romanticize the other option some times? -- nm - Dano Nov 21, 08:07 4
        
        I don't agree that teenage sex is romanticized at all. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 08:08 3
        
        what are you reading? Charles Dickens? -- nm - Max Nov 21, 08:11
        
        really? -- nm - TFox Nov 21, 08:11 1
        
        if we mean, "held up as a romantic ideal", really. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 08:12
- pretty much. -- nm - znufrii Nov 21, 07:55
