Hold on to your fangs, True Blood fans … the 3 main stars of the hit HBO drama are featured on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine … OH and they are all completely naked:

The idea of celibate vampires is ridiculous, True Blood creator Alan Ball says in the new Rolling Stone cover story. “To me, vampires are sex,” he says. “I don’t get a vampire story about abstinence. I’m 53. I don’t care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.” On his show, every available orifice is used for intercourse: gay, straight, between humans and supernatural beings, and supernatural being on supernatural being, whether he be werewolf, dog or an enormous Minotaur-looking being called a maenad. None of the sex is quite as good as vampire sex, though, which can happen at the astonishing rhythm of 120 bpm while simultaneously devouring one’s neck and making your eyes roll back into your head. Says Stephen Moyer — who plays Bill Compton, the undead Southern Civil War Veteran — “If we go from a base level, vampires create a hole in the neck where there wasn’t one before. It’s a de-virginization — breaking the hymen, creating blood and then drinking the virginal blood. And there’s something sharp, the fang, which is probing and penetrating and moving into it. So that’s pretty sexy. I think that makes vampires attractive.” He laughs a little. “Plus, Robert Pattinson is just hot, right?”

The full Rolling Stone interview can be read when the new issue hits newsstands on Friday … but what you really want to see is the photos, right? Well, thus far all we have is the full size, NSFWish nekkid coverphoto of True Blood stars Alexander Skarsgård, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer — which you can check out, after the jump …

Ménage à YUM! Rolling Stone has given us some really hawt coverphotos over the years … but this one has to be the hottest. Alexander looks good enough to eat … as does Stephen. Anna looks a’ight but I’d not mind a photo of just the nekkid vamps … alone. But ahhhh … to be Anna‘s leg ;) Whew! I will deffo be picking up a copy (or two) of this issue of RS. It’s hot, yes?
