I can't imagine people would read twilight on the beach. Too much sunlight.

Man, I think every 14 year old girl read the sequels on the beach. Think about it. What does Edward do in the sun? He sparkles. Where do you find a lot of sun? At the beach. So how do you meet your sexy vampire lover? At the beach, just look for the shiny boys.
I saw a girl a couple weeks ago with a shirt that said "Looking for a Prince Charming." Only Prince Charming was crossed out and above it was scrawled "Vampire." The first thing that flashed through my head was Max Shrek as Nosferatu, my girlfriend noticed my perplexed expression and told me "Twilight." I hate how sexualized vampires have become.

Not exactly new is it? Vampires have long been about sex, STI's and fear of corruption. One of the fears that Nosferatu plays on is the idea of Orlok getting his Semitic hands on nice Christian women, and with Dracula he's the sexual predator from the East corrupting and destroying upstanding English ladies. Vampires are pretty much the most sexualised monster going.

maybe sexualized is the wrong word....i hate how they've been turned into a sex symbol. I hate how this monster kind of monster, who used to be about disease and terror, as you've beautifully described, has become more about being this misunderstood sex symbol. I'd blame Anne Rice but at least she targeted an older audience, they don't scream nearly as loud.

You could thank Bram Stoker, Dracula was probably the first in line there.

The problem is that vampires basically are just sexy as fuck.
Sorry.
