The main character is a virgin because her psychic abilities render sex uncomfortable and awkward, and she has sexual trauma from childhood regarding abuse by a "funny uncle." Her sexual partner of choice is a vampire who is emotionally distance (or rather nonexistent) and who's mind she is unable to read, conferring an almost doll-like character. This makes me wonder if perhaps fear if sexual intimacy is common these days, and if so, why?Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894991961625062975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211974510426729195.post-64864016519330853742010-06-04T22:03:06.347-05:002010-06-04T22:03:06.347-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.ldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219158108205636950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211974510426729195.post-39353665397057294212010-06-04T21:39:19.769-05:002010-06-04T21:39:19.769-05:00Oh boy--that video is priceless! I did read Twilig...Oh boy--that video is priceless! I did read Twilight after it was recommended by an otherwise intelligent friend. I bitched and moaned about the writing...and yet kept reading it. Because, in the end, Meyer managed to get me invested in the outcome of her characters--and I'm definitely not in her demographic either. Now I'm writing a vampire book myself and trying NOT to be too emo about it!Suzanne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180604715572075576noreply@blogger.com
