Welcome to Gaia! ::

You~! Person above me! Is your name suppose to be a reference to Grease? <3

Anyways, yes. SMeyer did throw her own logic out of the window. Worst part of the whole book, breaking her own self-imposed laws.
I guess vampire venom is that special! blaugh ::gags::
She nevers makes anything clear in the first place, so I guess that's her excuse. That and that she writes the books mainly for herself and made all of this up after a dream she had and didn't bother to properly plan. I read that somewhere in an interview that she didn't really plan things out.

Yeah it is... 3nodding biggrin

I think she should have clarified it better.
At first she says they only have venom in their body's, but no the guys can have sperm too? What?
It's just really confusing.

But SMeyer stated in an interview that all bodily fluids are replaced with venom and that's where the question comes up. If all fluids are venom now, how did Bella get pregnant?
In a PC with the Twilight Lexicon, SMeyer states:

Quote:

"Most human fluids are absent in my vampires. No sweat, no tears, no blood besides that which they ingest–they don’t have their own blood. They do sort of have saliva–the venom makes their mouths wet, at least. When they drink blood, it runs through their body and makes them strong. It floods through their old blood ways, though they don’t have circulation anymore. "

It does say "most", which does give some room to say they still have semen, but...

Quote:

"When someone becomes a vampire, it’s as if they are frozen exactly as they are in that moment. His or her (and we’ll go with her because it’s more central to this discussion) body no longer experiences change."

she says that a vampire is frozen. Sperm normally die quickly and are replaced by the human body creating more, but if the body is frozen, how does it create more?

Quote:

"If a vampire were cut, there would only be blood if he/she had freshly drunk blood (and drunk a lot). Otherwise, there would only be a bit of venom. It would be like cutting into granite."

So with all this, it seems like venom is the only thing. Also, how do vampires have sex in the first place if they're so much like granite?
SMeyer has some holes to fill here. :/

That's more or less the consensus.

I do wish she had cleared this up more. I guess she was running under the "oh, it's never happened, we have no idea either" umbrella with the Cullens. I do remember reading a fanfic that said that held that some fluids may hang around, specifically, sperm.

I also remember another fanfic in which Edward was searching for condoms because he didn't was to put venom in her system...I really wish that could have been true.
I don't really like how the story turned out, and I feel like she could have taken it in a much better, less confusing direction.

Que sera sera, I guess.

Edward... was a incubus. Not a regular Vampire. Or rather, a sort of incubus that Meyer changed to fit what she wanted.

Meyer sort of went over that fact when Bella remembered seeing the Incubi and Succubi on the A-Z List of Vampires in the first book.

Meyer also didn't say anything about their other fluids being venomous since the only fluid that most normal Vampires have is saliva, other then the blood they drink. But if the Vampires in her books were really a sort of Incubi Vampire, then they would have had to have had semen, that could reproduce.

Anyways, it was technically venomous, just... not in the way you guys are thinking. I mean, Nessie did turn out Half Vampire, Didn't she? She has the venom in her body, it just doesn't infect her blood.

((Hope that made sense, my mind is a little all over the place. I understand it, I just don't explain things too well.))

I see some logic there. Obviously the body is frozen, it can't create anymore sperm. But what about sperm that was already there? It's possible that they were frozen along with the body. Somehow it came out of Edward's body and into Bella's.
