Aside from theoretically getting a male Sleeping Beauty counterpart, there's some scholarly research on the history of castration that indicates that men who can't have children are a woman's ideal lover. Vampires are castrated in so far as reproduction, so ummmm... yeah, Prince Charming with ancient courtly manners and the inability to produce squalling infants. It's right up there with the fad for castrati opera singers a few centuries ago.
