Sperm are living cells. Edward is dead - his cells have been burned and crystallized by venom, as described by Stephenie Meyer herself. Therefore his sex cells (sperm) are also dead. Dead cells aren't functional.
The venom, Stephenie writes, is what helps Edward impregnate Bella in the fictional book. According to Stephenie, the normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood.
In Breaking Dawn Edward gets Bella pregnant and the baby is killing her from the inside so when she is on the verge of death he bites her and injects his venom into her.
According to the author, vampires have venom that functions in a similar way to blood, which is how Edward was able to get Bella pregnant.
Described as devastatingly beautiful, Edward has a sense of chivalry and virtue so strong he has remained a virgin his whole 108 year life.
Edward: Why He's an Abuser
First, one of his hallmark characteristics is his control over Bella and his attempts to isolate her from others. Abusers often use this tactic as a way of ensuring that their victims have no way to escape should they attempt to do so.
Breaking Dawn links sex and danger, at least initially. Before Bella becomes a vampire, sex with Edward poses a serious threat to her. Edward is afraid that he'll accidentally kill Bella, and she does indeed wake up covered in bruises after they first have sex. However, Bella doesn't seem to mind.
He felt changing her would be like killing her. All members of the Cullen family were changed at the brink of death, Bella still had her life ahead of her.
So we're a bit distressed to hear that our girl Kristen gets chewed up – literally! – in "Breaking Dawn – Part 1." When we heard that Robert Pattinson's Edward is forced to quite literally chew a fetus out of Bella when a scalpel can't penetrate the placenta, we freaked out a little bit.
“The relationship between Bella and Edward is 100 percent toxic, unhealthy and abusive,” says Rachel Wright, a New York-based licensed psychotherapist and relationship coach. “The Twilight movies promote the idea that women are better when they are dull and submissive.
Vampires in Meyer's world don't sleep, so Edward had too much time on his hands and used it to watch Bella sleep, as uncomfortable as that is to many readers and viewers. Midnight Sun didn't skip that part of Twilight and revealed that what Edward did while Bella slept was kill spiders.
Edward has asked Jacob to help convince Bella to abort the baby so that she can have another child with Jacob instead. Edward has agreed that if Bella dies from the pregnancy, then Jacob can kill him.
Either way, we know you've been wondering—how the hell does Edward Cullen get it up? Vampires have blood, which is what's used to fill those erections generally required for sex, in their system only after they've hunted and sucked their victims dry.
On Tuesday, Us Weekly revealed photographs of Stewart passionately kissing Rupert Sanders, the director of her latest film, Snow White and the Huntsman. Sanders, at 41, is nearly twice the age of the 22-year-old Stewart, and what's worse, he's married with two young children.
No. So powerfully was Bella's subconscious knowledge trying to break through her wrong-headed notions, that it produced some very convincing delusions. I'm not surprised that people thought, in the beginning, that Edward was somehow there (wishful thinking on all our parts).
Renesmee even though she was a infant she was very smart a knew that her mother "Bella" was dying, & needed Edward's venom, she bit Bella"her mom" to snap her out of the moment of seeing her newborn 'Renesmee " so she could get the much needed venom from Edward, so she'd have a fighting chance of living.
Bella's gift is her very powerful shield – one that has been growing and working without her knowing since she was born. Because of her shield, she is protected from powers of the mind – that means that Edward (and Aro) can't read her thoughts, Kate can't shock her, and Jane can't cause her pain.
Eclipse continues the paranormality of 18-year-old human Bella and the vampire Edward's relationship. Edward is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire, believing that becoming a vampire will destroy her soul.
But Edward's longing for Bella is painfully chaste. It takes until page 230 for him to even consider kissing her, and then until page 378 to do the deed.
Edward appears so awkward during his first real encounter with Bella because he's barely breathing and because the movie left out a subtle interaction between the two. When Edward finally introduces himself to Bella in class it's one of the cringiest interactions of the entire film.
Edward invades her privacy by listening in on her friend's thoughts to make sure he knows where Bella is. Once Edward realizes Bella is not with the girls, he tracks her down and saves her from predators. It seems romantic and victorious that he was able to save her from the bad guys.
Except that Edward is not asexual or aromantic. In the context of the Twilight franchise, he's basically just waiting for the right seventeen year old girl to magically appear so he can groom her into his vampire bride. The language Meyer chooses is 100% grooming language.
His adoptive father, Carlisle Cullen, transformed him into a vampire in 1918 to prevent him from dying in the Spanish influenza epidemic in Chicago, Illinois by the request of Edward's mother, who begged him to do whatever it took to save him.
Edward constantly fears for Bella's safety. Though he is scared when James decides to track Bella, he's most worried about himself hurting Bella. Edward points out how ridiculous it is that Bella is afraid of dancing. When she's not in any real danger, her courage seems to drain away.
After nearly dying from the Spanish influenza in 1918 in Chicago, Edward was turned into a vampire by Carlisle, as the only alternative to death. Over the next ninety years, the pair gathered a family of vampires around themselves and called themselves "vegetarians". His Life and Death counterpart is Edythe Cullen.
