A Quote by Melissa de la Cruz
I always thought of vampires, especially the young-adult ones, as a metaphor for sex - sucking blood, forbidden, taboo. I think they just ooze sex. Vampires are all the big themes in life in one attractive, bloodsucking package.

Yeah, obviously we use vampires as a metaphor for something else, something deeper than just the supernatural.

And you can joke about sex much more.
