I see where you're coming from. BUT, you have to also see where Meyer is also coming from. Edward was changed when he was 17 years old. Although he has matured mentally in some ways...in other ways he's mentally frozen just as physically frozen in time. When Edward was still human...he had little interest in girls...he wanted to join the military and fight in the war. So, that's was Edward's mind set when he became a vampire. A vampire's basically frozen in time...at the time they became vampire. Bella was the first girl that Edward was EVERY interested in. Edward has no sexual designs on Bella. He's doing good just to not consume her blood. Over time, Edward does fall in love with Bella...but he refuses to have physical intercourse with her until they are married. Edward was a virgin until his honeymoon night.
