I think Twilight might also have gotten incredibly popular because it says to teenage girls that their desire and their awakening sexual drive is okay, that it's natural and normal to sexually desire somebody and to indulge that desire. It also says to whatever teenage boys are actually reading it that it's okay to be a virgin and/or to have sex only in a romantic, emotional relationship. It does have some really good messages buried in there under the creepy.
