Everything about the vampire mythos is inherently erotic and even drangerously erotic: the penetration, the draining and exchanging of bodily fluids, the monstrous "Other" presenting an irresistible sexual threat to our women -- even transforming them into the threatening Other.

Twilight, well, lacks that erotic element. It is like the episode of Heroes that will air tonight where the characters lose their superpowers. Without the powers, why should the audience care? Likewise, what good is vampire fiction without the eroticism?
