When you see Twilight for the first time you are instantly transported to a romantic fantasy land where you secretly wish you met a super hot vampire that loved you so much it oozed out of every inch of him. You close you eyes and get swept away at how intense Edward and Bella’s love is and you long for them to kiss, to touch, to take that final step and confirm their undying commitment for one another.

But they don’t. No kissing and no real touching either. How can this story be so full of intense feelings and no kissing? It doesn’t hurt that Bella has another admirer in sexy Jake- even if he is a dog, he’s worth every inch of the perv we get. Where Edward is sickly sweet in his love and devotion and vampish brooding tortured looks. Jake is hot blooded and angry- just the way we like them. A bit on the teenybopper side, but still worth a good look.

 

TRUE BLOOD

Then you have True Blood. Well this show turns your fantasyland upside down!

There is a smorgasbord of kissing and touching in this series. Enough to satisfy any would be fang-banger. With Sookie Stackhouse playing the lead and a plethora of hot hungry vampires after her blood and the odd hunk of a werewolf in tow, who wouldn’t be hooked? There is guts and gore. A kinky tall Viking Vamp named Eric who is delicious and of course Sookie’s brother Jason Stackhouse who has abs of steel and a butt to match and has slept his way through every woman on the show- for all of us to see. Nothing is missed in this phenomenal series. It has it all. The intensity of lusty love, and a good measure of romance, mixed with just enough sex to keep you interested. And then some! More for grown ups, or somewhere in between.

To sum it up- I think True Blood is the raunch we are looking for that Twilight doesn’t give us. I rate both as titillating. It all depends what mood you are in when you are flicking channels. In the end… we all want to be a vampire!
