You're being way too judgmental here. Blending the metaphor of coming of age with beastial transformation isn't lazy; it's an apt comparison. The key is always execution. Ginger Snaps and the Wildling do it well, while Blue my Mind and When Animals Dream are nothing special.
Also, half the movies you mentioned in your other post don't even fit this genre. Howling 2 (your sister is a werewolf) and 3 have nothing to do with sexual awakening. Skinwalkers is about killing off a boy before he gains the power to cure lycanthropy. Wolves is at least close to the theme, but it's about a dude simply finding out he's a wolf when he turns 18, and the whole world he never knew about, and now has to deal with. Just because some of these movies have a sex scene or two doesn't mean that is the theme of the movie.
