My Apology to Stephenie Meyer
I wrote previously that Twilight is porn. I may be wrong.
Caitlin Flanagan wrote in the Atlantic Monthly that Twilight helps adolescent girls come to terms with sex.
So it is about sex, and erotica, and foreplay, but perhaps in just the right dose, and in the right format, for the teenage mind. Perhaps it is just as useful as the awkward old puberty primer What Is Happening To My Body?
And perhaps it is even more needed in the Mormon society, where in some homes it is taboo to even talk about sex, so that teenage pregnancy, prostitution, pornography, and marital sex are all lumped together, to the point where a girl may even feel ashamed on her wedding night. A society where even an innocent book about sex could be decried as pornography.

ReplyDeleteCrazy, huh?
ReplyDeleteYep, I change my mind sometimes.
But I still agree with some of the points I made earlier.
