Buffy's the Girl, so she has to go all feeble and fluttery so that the Man can look good.
I think it's also what a lot of women find sexy--I know I do, and I don't think as many of the Harlequinn novels I've read would sell as well as they do if other women didn't feel the same way. But it's not Buffy.
For example, I never felt that the soul-losing sex was supposed to be particularly sexy - I mean, they just crawled out of the harbor, they're cold and wet and scared. Not conducive to boom-chika-wow-wow.
I guess I think most sex/foreplay/pre-sex scenes are supposed to be sexy unless they're really, really blantantly not. But part of the reason I didn't like it was I felt like SMG had this kind of "I'm acting this scene all sweet and achey and vulnerable and wanting and sexy", thing going on.
Spike, once he accepts that he loves Buffy, never seems to want to bite her at all,
Yeah! I wonder why that was, actually.
But that whole sniffing/licking/growling scene? OMGSOHOT!!!
