So, in True Blood, I understand there's a teenaged vampire who was a virgin when she was turned, and now her hymen regrows itself anytime she has sex, so she can never have sex without that pain?

If everything else I've heard about the show hadn't already convinced me I'd hate it, that would manage to turn me off it for life.

Oh. Ew.

I will admit to loving the show, yes, but nothing can redeem that plot point for me and I was ready to throw things when it came up.

Yup. And it's just as awful as it sounds. What makes it especially horrific is that before that point, she was one of the kindest portrayals of female sexuality that I'd ever seen on TV; she was delighted with her newfound discovery, eager to explore and completely unabashed. So, of course, she had to be punished for it.

Just to top off the queasy sundae, in the most recent episode someone calls her a 'fucking whore' and she sobs, "I know I am." When last season, she playfully told her boyfriend if she could have been a 'slut', she probably would have been.

And this is just another reason why despite me liking the books for their half romance/half murder mystery plots, I'm not touching the TV series with a 10-foot pole.
