So, fandom, how is Sam/Ruby (now that we have all the "socially conscious" facts) that much different from human/vampire sexcapades? Dead body, check. No soul, check. Hot, hot, hot, check!

It's just- no big deal to me. *shrugs*

And the funniest part???? Tonight on Ghost Whisperer, Melinda's newly dead husband, who's been ghosting about since their love is so endless, watched for a car crash victim to die and THEN JUMPED INTO HIS BODY ONCE THE SPIRIT WAS GONE THUS REANIMATING THE CORPSE. I laughed until I cried. Of course, Melinda and New!Jim get a second chance to fall in love (the price of new life was amnesia). I wonder if there is Ghost Whisperer wank about necrophilia? I AM THINKING NOT. :-P

Now I go collapse into bed. Whee. It's not even 9:30pm on a Friday. My life is exciting.

Oh hell, are people wanking about this still?

I'm with you - "dead" body animated by demon, original soul outta there = WOOHOO HOT VAMPIRE/DEMON/WHATEVER SEXXXXINS!

I haven't seen the episode, but it seems like, with say, a comparison to Buffy, that the whole "it's a demon, not the body's original possessor" thing isn't exactly ... really respected by the show. I'd say it's more like if a demon in SPN effectively kept their own body - the soul was once human and is now "demonized." But in SPN, the demonized soul is very much in possession of a body that isn't their own. While you can argue that no one really "owned" that body at that point, it still was at one time someone else's, and it's still effectively being used like a ... venue may not be the word I'm looking for, but that's what it is, rather than two people. And SPN itself already has sort of a background with the concept of women's bodies as interchangeable. (I've wondered a few times when watching whether if our heroes were women, we'd always see demons as hot guys.) If I were going to make something of it, it'd be more about that idea of body ownership and possession rather than any sort of necrophilia thing.
