What is the fascination with Vampires

I know practically nothing about the "Twilight" movies, books, records or anything else. I also don't watch television so I don't know much about it's rip offs. What I do know is rather disturbing. Women in their teens through 40's finding vampires sexy. That really creeps me out.

I don't think much of the mafia or gang members or thieves or murderers or rapists or child molesters or most scum bags. I don't find those who prey on others to be very impressive and usually find that in their heart of hearts they are nothing other than cookie chasing bullies. Yet, society finds a way to make all of these things appear sexy, why and how?

Why would a 40 year old married woman with a 15 year old daughter be enamored with a 20 year old vampire in a movie, what does he represent? All of the types of people I mentioned represent the same thing. The ability to take what you want without being in powerful positions. Greed and the ability to feed the animal that it comes from.

The stories are all the same. A powerful being that is not a part of the system can take from them what it wants; but, because of their female beauty chooses not to take but to be given and in exchange offers his strength. Vampires are a blue collar girls dream if she doesn't think she can get things for herself.

What is Harry Potter, an orphan with power. If we have taken the shortcuts and feel we have no influence over the world in the "normal" way, we tend to turn to fantasy and the fantasy is always one where we overcome the world rather than work through it. Shortcuts.

They say that power is the greatest aphrodisiac in the world; but, I want to talk about sex. Might as well, have had any in quite awhile. LOL.

How do you view sex? I mean, is it a sensation, is it giving or receiving? Is it what determines who you are with? Is it the meaning of life? Is it just like any other bodily function? Is it just a thing? Is it private or public, does it matter?

Sex is in the mind kids, the sensation is merely an association. What do you find more thrilling, love or sex? On one level sex is just rubbing body parts, Bill Clinton was wrong he did have sex with that girl. Love-sex is different, it is where you enjoy the pleasure you bring your partner more than you enjoy the experience. That is love-sex.

This part is now going to be a little mature, I will try and be delicate. Ladies, if you can enjoy a vibrator, don't tell the men that you need romance, it is a lie on a physical level. Also, don't think you can fake it to someone who actually pays attention, your bodies change too, problem is most guys don't pay attention and wait for you to tell them.

Here is my love advice. Ladies, men don't talk about sex with each other in a meaningful way. Tell your man what he should be looking for to know if you are excited, their dad probably did not. Men, pay attention and remember "Ladies first". Be a gentleman, you'll get there. What the heck does this have to do with vampires?

Oh yeah. The women like vampires and romance novels because they want to feel loved, to know you care. Women are insecure and crave attention, they like men and want to know that we like them. We are insecure too, we want their attention and fear they will pick the more powerful guy, the guy with money. They won't, they like compliments. It is our responsibility to be truthful and not flatter just for sex, flattery is deceit. Oh, and ladies, if you accept flattery rather than the truth from someone who still loves you, you get the liar and jerk.

Lest the men think I am giving them a free pass, if you flatter a woman and get her, guess what, it isn't you she is in love with, she is in love with the illusion of you and you will always be second. Sex and love, so often confused with one another. Love is so much more. I can love a woman who cannot have sex, I cannot have sex with a woman I do not love, I am out of step, the rest of the world thinks the opposite.

When I was dating I was not looking for sex, I was looking for love. I turned down sex even though it would have been really nice. I had not found the right love and right situation. Every woman I dated was worthy of love, not just of any love, of true love of complete love, of all encompassing love, of a love that will last an eternity. Perhaps that is what vampires offer; but, at the wrong price, at the price of your soul. Be well.

It is interesting to think.
You mentioned power. Everything brings power or weakness, unless you throw these things away, ie neutralize them.
But even so, some things you cannot neutralize so easily.
Mind/thoughts
Heart/emotion
Body/physical

Growth in any of these brings power.we may not like it or prefer to call it "power" but it is.
It's the advantage over others that I think people crave.
Well, people crave all kinds of things.
Mabey it's mass hysteria :p
In the mouth of madness is a good movie. The idea of it that is.

It is more about the love of power. Nothing to neutralize, only control your own urges. It is about having an advantage and not using it; but, instead teaching and explaining it. It is about being able to handle "power" rather than seeking it.
