Culture: Implying sex is enough to get libraries to ban the “Twilight” series

  • Torn feathered pillows, bruises and a sore jaw. That’s all. The “Twilight” books, which are actually pretty conservative in their handling of sexual tension, are generally considered teen-friendly books. But in Utah, one parent complained to the local library about a passage in “Breaking Dawn” where it was implied that the main characters had sex while married. That was enough to get it banned. Ironic part: Author Stephenie Meyer’s a devout Mormon. And the books promote chastity. source
