That's the whole history of the vampire bite thing in pop culture. The vampire bite has always been sublimated sex. There's a lot of literature about it, I'm not breaking new ground here. Vampires are pretty much just symbols of dangerous sexuality, with the "rape" scene sublimated to something you can show on TV. There's also some interesting work on vampires and homosexuality, particularly female vampires as symbols of dangerous female sexuality. So anyway, whenever someone was like, "the vampire books are clean," it made me go "vampires in pop culture are avatars for dangerous sexuality, what are you talking about?"

Stephanie Meyer framed herself as a nice Mormon lady who wrote some clean books for nice girls, when she just sublimated the sex to something else, so she could have all of the horniness without any of the guilt. I don't have a problem with the teen readers, it's age-appropriate to be ready for some horniness without going all the way--but Stephanie Meyer comes across as a very stunted individual, or at least that's what I thought back then. It's been a while since I thought about her or her work.
