In the new issue of Nylon magazine, Anna Paquin dishes about onscreen sex scenes with her ‘True Blood’ costar and real life fiance,  Stephen Moyer.

“The thing about vampirism is that it taps into a female point of view – you have an old-fashioned gentleman with manners who is a f***ing killer… it’s an interesting duality, because in our present society it would be an odd thing for a woman to say, ‘I want my man to be physical with me.’ How, as a modern man, can you f***ing work that? It’s one thing to be polite and gentle… But when do you know it’s OK to crawl out of the mud and rape her [as Bill does in one scene]?… It’s difficult stuff for a bloke, but a vampire gets away with it…”

So is that what the whole vampire thing is about? I gotta admit I missed that one. I actually thought the romance was about forbidden but eternal love with really dreamy vampire dudes that protect you and dote on you for eternity.

The raping? Not so much.
