This is ridiculous

I went to see Twilight again and I think that I may be obsessed. During the movie, my second viewing, I kept thinking about how much I wanted to fuck Robert Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen. The man, and by man I mean a 22 year old who is playing a "17" year old vampire, is fucking gorgeous. I felt quite silly, sitting in the movie theater with a few friends and being encircled by tweens. I wondered if they wanted to fuck him? I mean, they probably know what sex is, but do they want to just be in love with him..or do they want to be with him physically? Is there some key year when you start desiring the physical want instead of the emotional? All my thinking was interrupting me from the movie. All I could think about was how freaking weird it was that I was getting wet over a fictional character. Yes, over a fictional vampire...and that is half the attraction. Every girl wants a man who roughs them up in bed, or has the potential to. Who better to do that than a vampire? It's like when women are turned on by their man fighting; you may not know why you're so damn turned on when you see guys get in a fight, but you know you are.

Take, for instance, Mark Wahlberg's character in Fear. His character is a mentally unstable young guy who ends up killing his girlfriend's best friend because he is jealous and irrationally paranoid. Throughout the movie, you feel bad for his girlfriend, but you also are turned on and see the appeal. Hmm...Mark, why are you telling her dad that you popped her cherry...why are you threatening her family's life...wait, I don't really care because I want to fuck you like a goddamned animal right now. It's delusional, the things we somehow become attracted to. If Edward Cullen was real, I'd fly my ass to Forks, do my damndest to meet him (fuck Bella) and then screw the living Jesus out of him, breaking headboards and all. But since he is not, Robert Pattinson will do. He has the hot English accent and this broody look about him that makes me want to pull his hair and run my tongue down his neck.

Doesn't it seem sometimes unfair that people can be so ridiculously good looking? Have you ever seen a person, not necessarily a celebrity, and you're immediately in awe of them, opposite sex or not? Your first thought may not even be sexual, but one of admiration and adoration. Then, sex comes in a close second. Since the beginning of time, we have had an attraction to what we deem to be beautiful. For cavemen, it might have been bigger women who had more fat content because they could better sustain life and get through a winter with meager meals. For the ancient Greeks, symmetrical beauty; during the Renaissance, women with a slightly rounded belly, invoking thoughts of fertility. Now...the lines are a little bit blurred. Some prefer women with "curves," but what is the definition of curves? An obese woman can call herself curvy, but that's not everyone's definition of it. Silicone breasts? Water bras? Ass implants? I couldn't make this stuff up. Removing ribs to make your hips look larger and your waist slimmer, it's very fashionable in Brazil. On the other hand, some people find skin and bones appealing. 5'9'' and 100lbs, barely an A cup, looking like a little boy, sexy. A man that looks like he's lived through the Holocaust because he is trying to live up to his "starving artist" appeal? Or what about the use of steroids by high school non-athletes who want to look "swoll," but it's just not in their natural genetics to get that big?

Beauty may be in the eye of the behold on an individual basis, but definitely not as a society. It's interesting to think about how we define beauty and what attracts us to certain people who look a certain way. I feel like I have a wide range of sexual attractions...david beckham, lenny kravitz, slash, brian urlacher, young Marlon Brando......the list goes on. It would take about four months to list every celebrity I wanted to screw.

With that being said, one of my good friends at school is turning 21 today so we're going to the bars to celebrate. Hopefully I won't end up back in bed alone.

Seriously, you go turned on by the character in "Fear"? I can imagine the actor, certainly. But that guy? Next thing, you'll tell us you have a thing for Travis Bickle.

And as for your question, it's kind of off a bit, in my opinion. I think what makes the concept of an Edward like character is we all want to be craved. We want to be desired. Even committed abstinence girls want to be wanted. It's all about how they want to be wanted. Up to a certain point (and partially forever) we want someone to want us for who we are. The "I love you forever and think you're beautiful because you're you". Then there is the "I would think you're beautiful no matter who you were"

As for the answer to your question about the teens, think back to your experience. Had you seen Robert at age 13, would you have felt "AHHHHHHH" or would you have wanted to fuck him. Some would've AHHHH'd. Some would've wanted to fuck him.

As for the roughing up thing, it's sexy to have someone who you know could beat the living daylights out of you, but likes you enough to have the self control to go at your pace and things like.

And why is it weird to get hot and bothered over a fictional character? How many men do you think have had a Jessica Rabbit fantasy before?

It is unfair, but I guarantee you there will be someone looking at you saying "It's so unfair that she's so gorgeous." Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has someone who is physically attracted to them. Granted some have more than others. The standard of "beautiful" is going away every day (thank god for that), and no longer will every man be into quadruple F sized boobs. (Incidentally, that's more than likely caused by early cave men looking at women with big tits and seeing them as nurturers and providers. From there, it evolved into our DNA.)

I think it's interesting how you go from Kravitz to Brando.

Good luck getting laid. Who knows. Maybe Cam Gigandet will walk in.

I'll pass on the Travis Bickle..you could see the crazy in Deniro's eyes, with Wahlberg it was more rage than straight up crazy and Wahlberg only directed his rage from an individual cause, not the general moral decay of our society..but it's a matter of interpretation. Good point on the wanting to be craved, I suppose I didn't think about it in that way, just on a surface level. When I was 13, I would have wanted to fuck him. Not because I was sexually active at that age, I hadn't even ever kissed a boy by then, but just because I'm a very sexual person. I knew when I started scoping out my dad's porn in fourth grade that I was "different" and that I shouldn't ever talk about these "differences" to my friends.

Jessica Rabbit, eh? Out of all the fictional characters in the world, you say Jessica Rabbit..not Gisele, not Lara Croft, not even Betty Boop. That's pretty interesting.

I could only hope that Cam would show up somewhere. Better yet, Kellan Lutz. He can be my "monkey-man" any day of the week. Instead, there were mostly creepers at the bar or guys who think it's sexy to try and bend you over and hump you from behind while pulling your carefully done hair. Blah.

Interpretation? I suppose, and while someone like Travis Bickle is completely demented and Mark was obsessed to the point of crazy, they have some similarities. Based on what I know of your personality, I would match you with Sebastian Valmont.

I wonder if there are any women who are into the "crazy thing" have a thing for Hannibal Lector....

AHEM. Google "Jessica Rabbit porn". 246,000 hits. "Lara Croft porn"? 242,000. Jessica Rabbit is so attractive because she's Disney, and Disney is "innocent and forbidden". And the way you said that sounded.... Odd. If you're wondering, I do not have a thing for either, although I wouldn't admit it if I did.

As usual, I read far too much into this. My theory about why Jessica Rabbit is a big fantasy comes from the fact of who her husband is. Seriosuly, has any man ever said "Wow, I bet if Lara Croft were real, she'd fuck me". Roger Rabbit is the everyman. He is dorky, yet he gets her. He makes men think (subconciously) "Hey, if that thing can get her, why not me?"

Based on characters who have not been adapted in video games and cartoons, I suspect many men have a thing for girls like Lucy Westenra, classy girls who will fuck your brains out. We like danger too, which is why (sticking to the Dracula theme) the brides were created. And Selena from "Underworld".

Kellan.... Eh. Daniel Cudmore is much more of the big hulking teddy bear guy.

(My responses to responses are huge. I need to shut up.)

Good call. Sebastian is one sexy man, who is quite deviant, but finds redemption.
