    hah but funnily enought the topic comes back to SEX!!! who gives a crap, it doesn't matter, it's a tiny little part of the book. you know it would be really nice to actually talk about the book.. and not about sex!!

    The sex is only a small portion of the book itself. This part of the book only helps you better understand the phsychy of the characters. It shouldnt effect your own oppinion about sex, it only matters what the characters view is. This is Stephenie Meyer's book, it only portrays her views and opinions, she doesnt think about what others are thinking, she only needs to know her opinions. So just enjoy this amazing book as is.

    OMG!! I have not only read these book have read them to my younger daughters and my teen daughters have read them as well! We are anticipating the release of Breaking Dawn on Saturday. There is too much emphasis on sex in the media. There are scenes that could be considered sexual, with no intercourse, but so what. It comes down to parenting. Teach your children the proper values and live them yourself, and your children will be able to read books like the Twilight Series and know that it is what it is.......FICTION!

    oh my gosh!!! will everyone please just get over their opinions of sex!! who cares.. everyone has their different opinions and not everyone is ever going to agree on one belief. stephanie meyer is the one writing the books not us! let her decide what happens, and that sex part was only a little tiny part out of the whole series so lets just talk about the book, like....... what does everyone think is going to happen in breaking dawn??? please no more sex talk!!!

    That's what makes these books so amazing. Stephenie Meyer has shown us that you don't have to have sex to be sexy. These books are the most romantic things I've ever read, and there's nothing in there you wouldn't want your mother to see you reading.

    I've enjoyed reading the 'Twilight' books, but anyone who says there's no sex in them is wrong. There's plenty of sex in them, there's just no sexual intercourse. Frankly, I'd prefer girls to be over 18 to read it.

    I think the book Twilight is awesome. My daughter has read all of SM books, she just turned 15. She has made my curioustiy grow into reading them too....I was not interested in vampires and that sort of thing. But SM approach engages you in her stories, and leaves you wondering what becomes of her characters., so I am a fan now..lol. I am thrilled to see movies coming out of her books....the previews look interesting! Daughters of the Moon was another series my daughter and shared. I love the fact that we are sharing something together.....I love the idea that SM is a Mormon and her feelings towatds sex..saving it till marriage. That is the way it should be no matter what religion you are, I support this. I was not allowed to date till I was 16. But I actually was 17 or 18 when I got my first kiss from a boy....lol. I am proud of my daughter, Gabrielle Rena....she will be a sophmore in high school this year, and I know she deals with a lot of social pressures, and keeping up with academic pressures as well. I pray, she will NEVER let her morality down, and that she will save sexual activity for marriage with the RIGHT person.....some of us thought we married the right person, but unforseen circumstances proved otherwise. I hope she will know someone a year or so before she takes wedding vows. Thank You.

    i am 12 years old and going in to 6th grade and my mom has never even had "a talk" with me. well, she doesnt have too because i know lots of stuff she doesnt think i do, and in my opinion that is realy sad. i dont know why parents should be shy on the subject, because everyone does it at some point in their life and, you are right it is the 21st century, so maybe parents should take into account sex adds and movies with sex in them, there are plenty of that stuff going around and we are going to learn about some how and i personally would have much rather my mom telling me.

    I understand why some people think that there is no big problm with having sex. But the main reason the book (Twi. NM, and Eclipse) are becasue of the athour, and I think that people should repect her for the things that she belives in. I am a 14 year old girl that lives in MN, USA and I think that people that are in love (B & E) do not have to have sex until they are married. And besided did you even read the book, Edward would kill Bella if they ever did that or even got close to that, or she would become a Vamp. Also I think that it sets a good example for anyone that is reading it that is a teenager like me or younger when you are making a trasition between times in your life and you have to make different dicitions where it be about what you are going to do when you have a really good boyfriend or what you are going to where to the Twilight Movie Premiere (lol I am going as Alice). That is my 2 cents.

      Respecting a person does not preclude disagreement with her ideals. A wedding is merely a contract, not some magic point after which they are deemed to love each other enough to engage in sexual activity.

    this is absolutely stupid. i have several very important points i would like u all to consider. first. EDWARD is a FICTIONAL character, made up by a MORMAN author! He is traditional and was born in 1901! Not anything like boys today! And also although Edward is traditional, the only thing stopping him, in the heat of the moment on bella's bed is the fact that he might eat her! (well technicly drink her blood) And 'sex' is almost everywhere...tv movies burger king ads posters the list goes on not just those few examples....common phrase : sex sells. And also quite often it is not just the boys who are being promiscuious but girls can act like complete sluts. ALSO. OBBSSESSTION is NOT A HOBBY!!!!!! if ur obbsessed it takes over ur whole mind body and soul (i shud no) not just something u can dip into!!! and ummm............Robert Pattinson is so freakn gorgeous who ELSE could possible play Edward???? Sorry if ur offended by my crass talk. just wanted to get my opinion out there...

    This is absolutely stupid. ummm hello EDWARD is a FICTIONAL character!!!!!!!! He was born in 1901 and very traditional - totoallyy not like boys today. and sex is almost every where, (tv movies burger king ads posters) not just those few examples........AND obbssession is NOT a hobby!!! If ur obbssessed, it takes over ur mind, body and soul, not something u can dip into when u feel like it. and its not always the guy being promiscuous...often girls can act like complete sluts. oh yea and although Edward is traditional in the heat of the moment on bellas bed, the only thing stopping him is the fact that he might eat her!

    robert pattinson is the most perfectest person in the world to play edward

    Ug. Virginity is *so* important, but let's be a bit shallow about an actor's appearance. *insert eyeroll* I'd rather my teenage daughter be intimate with someone she truly cares about than shallowly judging another human being. Thank you religious America with it's irritating and irrational "morality" complex. (Oh, and the most horrifying portion of the books: the whole most-of-the-world's-population-seems-to-think-that-one-must-remain-a-virgin-outside-of-marriage-or-risk-going-to-hell bit beats out the vicious Volturi feast any day.)

    What fools. Robert Pattinson is flippin perfect. They must be blind.

    I really loved this series for that very reason. It's everyones personal decision, on when they will or won't have sex, but for me personally, I decided a long time ago to stay a virgin till marriage. I loved so much, that there was something so completely seductive and gorgeous about this story, without it relating to sex. Especially being seventeen myself, it made it so much more relatable.

  • Posted By: maden @ 07/29/2008 11:52:35 PM

    personally I have taken the decision to have sex before marriage, specially because I intend to marriage late. I am 15 years old. I am the opinion that it is necessary to explain the best ways to protect itself specially as a woman. Thats important. But to imply that sex before marriage makes you "·impure"· in any way is just plain wrong. Also because at the age of 15 the persdon is old and mature enough to decide which sdet of valuses one wantsd to followwhto decide for






























    itself what


    itsdelf what sdet of valuesd

    This is a little off topic, but i just wanted to give my opinion about this: I am 15 years old and reading the Twilight books. My parents have explained what sex is to me, but they have never given me the so-called "birds and bees" talk. And I have never even considered having sex outside of marriage. My parents have brought me up with the right values, and understand without having to ask me that I would never do that. reeree1, if you were going to have that talk with your kids, why would you even think of having it "a lot younger that 13", way before the child has even started puberty?! If mom had had that talk with me, and if she had done it younger than that, I would have not understood most of what she'd said! I don't believe this talk is even necessary-it wasn't necessary for me. Maybe I am the exception and not the rule, but my parents are just good parents who have brought me up with good values. And if parents were going to have that discussion, (around age 13 would be the best time in my opinion,) I personally think using Twilight would be a great idea, and would make the talk a lot less awkward. And that would make the child more willing to listen. I know I am going against a lot of people in having these opinions, but again, I have never even considered sex outside of marriage!! Does anyone agree with me, or at least see my point?
