Why is the movie Twilight so popular among teenage girls

Romantic Love is love that denies sex or sexual contact with the object of your affections. As young teenage girls we first started off with romantic love then around the late high school or early college years those relationships developed into marriage and sexual love. The books and now the movie twilight are based on romantic love where the main female character falls in love with a vampire. The vampire cannot loss control over his emotions so the relationship is forced into a form of romantic love where both the main characters deny physical love in favor of romantic love.

Once the pressure of sexual love is taken away from a relationship the individuals are freed to develop true affections for the other individual. In many long term relationships romantic love is usually what is missing because the idea of communicating with your partner is lost over a lifetime of raising a family and meeting basic responsible although some marriages rediscover romantic love shortly after all of the children leave home and the two individuals are forced to either redevelop the relationship that first cause them to fall in love and get married or they are faced with an end to the marriage.

With the overwhelming fear of STD’s in the world today many of our young people are looking to the idea of romantic love rather then sexual relationships that could lead to an early death. Most of our monster movies such as Dracula are based in part on the idea of romantic love. So if men or parents wonder why their young teenage daughters are so in love with Twilight the move or the books think back to that time in your own life where sex was a future act and the simple delight of falling in love and getting to know someone was the only thing on your mind. In many ways romantic love can be far more rewarding over time after all is it not that first romantic love that most people remember for the rest of their life as that perfect love.
