Page "The Vampire Armand" Paragraph 13

Like many of Rice's novels, The Vampire Armand deals with various aspects of human sexuality.

Although the vampires themselves can not have intercourse, they do have a sexuality about them and practice their version of homosexuality, bisexuality and sadomasochism.

Such seems to be a recurrent theme throughout Anne Rice's books, as well as pederasty, as Armand is just past puberty when Marius first takes him as a lover.

Another example, is instances where Armand is visiting brothels, and gives a detailed description of the " pleasure " he obtained at the hands of " beautiful boys ".

The mortal human characters are also largely portrayed as bisexual, both in the medieval and modern day periods covered in the novel.
