Robert Pattinson told a British newspaper he thinks the ‘Twilight Saga’ is both sexy yet a metaphor for abstinence.
Robert thinks the simmering tension coupled with other elements in the story are enough to dub it ‘sexy’.
He told a British newspaper: “Twilight is a big metaphor for sexual abstinence, and yet it’s erotic underneath.”
I definitely think a big part of ‘Twilight’s’ appeal is the “simmering tension,” as Robert puts it, and Stephenie Meyer’s Mormon beliefs include abstinence before marriage, but would you call the series a “metaphor for abstinence”?

i call it a slap in the face of womanity.
yes.
Sorry, but what a load of dribble.
havent watch the movies but what i’ve seen in the previews, some parts look a little too much for a kid that watches this movie.
Makes sense coming from him!
If only Melissa Rosenberg could capture that tension in her freakin’ script.
wery good site..
nice video
Sorry, but what a load of dribble.
soo good
imo it’s way too obsessive for kids to read. made me want to jump my husband 30000 times… it definitely doesn’t promote abstinence just because they don’t do it until they are married doesn’t mean it’s not always there !! that’s why i loved it… the tease.
If only Melissa Rosenberg could capture that tension in her freakin’ script. The woman is a horrible writer. They should’ve let Stephenie write her own dang screenplay. Sorry for the rant. lol
its definitely all about abstinence and gender roles. I mean come on, can Bella be more stereotypical? That was the most frustrating part for me, how the story was so cliched and how really it’s a bad example for young girls. It tells girls they have to be this damsel in distress always looking for men to stand up for her, and how she will never EVER measure up to these men, because according to her they’re perfect/beautiful and she will never be that. Plus yes it is a bit too obsessive. I don’t think young girls need more of that…
That’s really good since so many young women are reading it.
Twight IS emotional porn! Good call on that one
it total is! stephanie meyer makes a point to make bella/edward get married before they have sex AND before bella becomes a vampire. she’s very blatant about it
Twilight is emotional porn.
Think about it….
i do agrre with smp209
I agree, it’s all very reminiscant of morman culture in that way. I grew up in Utah and theres this molten, boiling sexual tension thats so prevalent in the high schools there untill a few years later (or sometimes not even that long) when everybody is married off. Just instead of being afraid of being crushed to death having sex with a vampire they’re scared of being crushed by guilt in denying a tenet of their faith by simply allowing themselves to indulge in one of the most basic and natural of human experiences.
