Twilight's: "Abstinence porn"

[jman]

I found this article quite insightful, a refreshing perspective, while being humorous about the fans of Twilight and their love of the series, called "abstinence porn". haha

Just realized this article is 2years-old, whoops. Still a entertaining read though.

"suggest readers' belief that, pre-sex, Edward and Bella were the perfect couple. In reality, the abstinence message—wrapped in the genre of abstinence porn—objectifies Bella in the same ways that "real" porn might. The Twilight books conflate Bella losing her virginity with the loss of other things, including her sense of self and her very life. Such a high-stakes treatment of abstinence reinforces the idea that Bella is powerless, an object, a fact that is highlighted when we get to the sex scenes in Breaking Dawn"

Interesting. I have only seen the first 2 movies, so I am at a loss, but I can still see what the author is getting at and i agree.

How come no one focused on Bella's Necrophelia problem?
