Vampiric imitation -
Movies and other pop culture in the past years have done much to
romanticize vampires. Vampires were once represented as demons and
creatures of the devil in folklore. They were surrounded by
superstitions concerning garlic, holy water and crosses. These
days, partially due to contemporary authors such as Anne Rice,
vampires have shed much of their superstitious air and come to
embody the darker desires of humanity's ideal. The vampire has
become a sensual creature of passion and beauty, immortally young,
powerful, and free of inhibition. The vampire is no longer the
murderous demon, but a symbol of what humanity wishes it could be:
fearless, immortal, indulgent, powerful. I think that almost all
young kids have a fascination or interest with the supernatural
(aliens, monsters, fairies, witches and vampires). Some don't ever
pursue it. Teenagers especially tend to find the vampiric symbol
attractive when they reach a time in life when they feel very
powerless, restricted, uncertain and anxious. This category
consists of people who find pleasure in imitating the vampiric
lifestyle. Some take it fairly seriously indeed. They do not kill
to get blood, but they will drink from themselves or any willing
donors using controlled cutting techniques (such as using a
surgical or exacto knife or any other cutting tool that is precise,
sharp and sterile). These people do not necessarily think they are
vampires, but they enjoy playing the part. They are not usually the
type to drink blood from a glass or drink an animal's blood. This
category does not necessarily have anything to do with blood
drinking as part of an erotic experience, although it can.
Curiosity and
experimentation - Some people will try it just to see what
it tastes like, how it feels, how the blood flows, what it looks
like. These cuts will usually be made with razor blades or more
crude knives (such as a pocket knife, kitchen knife or makeshift
sharp tool). These cuts are usually fairly superficial and made in
an easy to hide area such as the inner arm. This person will most
likely end up doing it alone, but sometimes might be a part of a
group that begins experimenting with blood letting and blood
drinking.
Erotic experience - Sex is
a way to share yourself with your partner. For some people, blood
drinking can also be a part of this sharing experience. Often it is
viewed as a more deeply bonding and erotic way to experience the
essence of another person. It is the ultimate way to symbolically
share your life with another. This would be an entirely consensual
experience and perhaps a part of some fantasy role playing. This
category always has to do with blood drinking as a sensual pleasure
in an erotic exchange, although factors such as curiosity or
vampiric fantasies may also play a part. As far as blood
extraction, I have been told that if you suck on a particular part
of the skin in a certain way for long enough, blood will come out.
Sometimes blood is extracted by controlled cutting, or (depending
on the inclination of those involved) with teeth or nails for those
who into more "rough" sex or a "primal" experience.
Extremists: killers, religious
cults, fanatics - There are some people that are extremists
who practice blood letting and blood drinking for entirely
different motivations than all of the aforementioned categories.
These groups might kill a human or animal to get blood. They might
drink it out of a glass. They may offer bloodshed as a religious
offering and sacrifice. They may drink or let blood as part of a
ceremonial ritual. These extremists often believe that blood is a
powerful agent, that it can help one gain immortality. They use it
to worship a deity. Blood letting or drinking may rarely also be a
motivation for murder. There are a few people who sincerely believe
they actually are vampires and are obsessed with vampires to the
extent of becoming a fanatic. This person is not really religiously
or homicidally motivated; they are delusional and probably
disturbed. At the very least, they have lost the ability to
distinguish fantasy from reality. These groups or individual
extremists are very relatively small in number. Their fanaticism or
criminal activity lands them in the media spotlight at times, but
the destructive groups are not the whole of those who practice
blood letting or blood drinking. An overwhelming majority of people
who have engaged in an act of blood drinking will never come close
to this category. [/list]
