The Twilight books are not about vampires or werewolves or fate or true love. They’re about Isabella Swan, a teenage girl who really wants to bang her boyfriend, mmpopkey writes

For a movie based on a series of famously sex-negative books, Twilight —specifically Bella Swan, Twilight’s female lead — is, like, really horny. During her first, halting conversation with Edward, the camera lingers on her face as she opens her mouth, fumbling for words, her tongue pressing insistently against her teeth. At a restaurant, Edward confesses that he doesn’t have the strength to stay away from her; Bella’s eyelids flutter, her lips part. “Then don’t,” she breathes.
It takes more than 20 seconds for their mouths to meet. That’s part of it: how director Catherine Hardwicke understands the eros of anticipation, the exquisite torture of delay — which is, after all, the basis of both narrative pleasure and the success of the Twilight books. Girls across the world tore through thousands of pages, desperate to get the bit where Bella bones.
