Twilight is being marketed as a film geared towards teens, but that's not stopping the women on our message boards from talking (and talking and talking and talking) about it.

This morning, Meredith Vieira interviewed Twilight's two lead actors, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, on TODAY (watch the video below). Meredith mentioned that Kristen was given a say in Robert's casting, and she asked Kristen what it was that stood out about Robert. Kristen responded something along the lines of, "He was so imperfect. The typical leading man is just so unappealing to me." She said he seemed frightened, as if he didn't belong at the audition--and she liked that about him. He responded, "Well, that's a back-handed compliment."

While I can understand why he'd think that, of course, I think he's got it all wrong. On the contrary, I found it so refreshing that Kristen was looking for someone to share the big screen who stood out for his uniqueness and not for being conventional, cocky and traditionally handsome (unlike so many movies, teenager-geared and otherwise... and I'm not namin' names!).

I'd have to guess that what attracted you to your boyfriend/husband was not that he was cocky and traditionally handsome, right? So what was it that caught your attention?  Maybe he even had--or still has!--some sexy, bad-boy (vampire-like... haha) traits?  Talk back in the comments section below.














Plus: Vampire lovin'? (Yes, really.) Take our poll!

Want to grab a guy's attention?  Be a lady in red.  According to the study, led by psychology professor Andrew Elliot of the University of Rochester...

"Men rated a woman shown in photographs as more sexually attractive if she was wearing red clothing or if she was shown in an image framed by a red border rather than some other color... Noting the genetic similarity of humans to higher primates, he said scientists have shown that certain male primates are especially attracted to females of their species displaying red. For example, female baboons and chimpanzees show red coloring when nearing ovulation, sending a sexual signal that the males apparently find irresistible."

Plus: If a red dress is out of your comfort zone, maybe red lipstick is more your speed.  Start with these suggestions from iVillage Beauty & Style.  (Personally, I'm all about the red dress, but I'm too nervous to wear red lipstick.  But whatever works for you!)

Some like it hot.  Some like it even hotter.  Is it true that Marilyn Monroe made a sex tape (and, dare we ask, with whom)?  Plus: What type of women do men find most attractive?  And what did one Italian porn-star-turned-politician feature on her naughty campaign poster?  In this week's Sex on My Desk video, I'll explain all that and more.  Watch the video now.
