Try the forum seach, ad use words as blood, donors, feeding and such there are plenty that contains great info on this topic :-)
Otherwise, fix some paper and contact the local bloodbank *smile*
1. Psychic Vampire (One who feeds off of Ki, Chi or Life Force)
There are many ways to feed this way. Like Clubs, Party's and get togethers. This can also be dangerous for the un-awakened newly awakened (Fledglings) because they can be feeding unconsciously or subconsciously and they can pull in to much. Why this is dangerous well I look at it like this. The body is like a battery if you use too much of it's energy it will die well think of the heart of the body as that battery you take to much energy it will not have enough energy to pump the life's blood. The more experienced Vampire can take just as much as he or she needs to get by. Know that when you feed this way you create a link between the both of you. If you take to much they start to pull some of your energy in thus making a new Vampire.
2. Drama Vampire (One who feeds off of drama)
These are the ones who seek out conflict and draw in the negative energy from the bad situation. These are the ones who like fighting causing trouble and fear.
3. Blood Drinkers (Ones who feed off of blood do to need, want or sexual drive)
This is the most powerful and personal way we feed. This is done with the most trust between two partners. Know that this is also very dangerous because of the many blood born sicknesses. For this reason one must always screen all there donors.
4. Sexual Vampire (One who feeds from sexual energy)
This too is a very personal and powerful way to feed because of the bond it creates you feed two ways from sexual feeding Psy and Emotional energy. BAG IT CAUSE YOU CAN GET STD's if you don't that is why you should always ALWAYS SCREEN YOUR DONORS.
I am sure there are many other ways to feed but these are some of the ways I feed as well as most in my house. Please add you input so that we can all share in this and learn about who and what we are.
Im almost afriad to ask what the post above me means, though I think I get it. My problem is not so much a energy problem, though due to my training as a witch and in my other other kin org. I have learned how to adapt psi vamping to my needs, my problem is a medical issue called porferia, aka clinical vampirism. Basically for those who dont kno, it makes me really photosensitive, I burn easily, it slows aging (total upside!), doesnt allow we to produce melamean .sp. (the hormone that protects from the sun and makes you tan) as fast, and makes my red blood cells collaps on themselves, thus I either take steroides, or I drink blood to get the chemical hema (helps produce cells and carry oxygen) I need.
i would like more info on this vampiric condition actually.. i have heard about it before but im not so informed on it.. thanks very much :)
In regards to wanting more info about porferia, its tough to really give more information accuritly. This is due to the fact that there really isnt much information on it except of certain symptoms, and that they have finally figured out that its genetic. Symptoms include blistering in the sun after short periods, need for hema which is a blood production hormone, increased ability to heal quickly, lengthened life span, photosensitivity, mental disorders (when not kept in check) liver and kidney damage (when not kept in check) heart conditions (including sevier heart irrythmia sometimes resulting in a collective heart condition which is know is 1/70000000 (one in 70 million) to stop all body functions incuding pulse, breath, brain activity and lymphatic pulse for periods from 10 sec. to [my personal record is 4.5 hrs] 24 hrs with little to no damage upon "waking up") lack of mellanin production, increased strenght etc. Not all Porferians get all the symptoms, I personally only have to deal with burning easily, photosencivity, blood cell loss, sevier heart irrythmia resulting in said condition, plus I get most of the perks. healing, hightened sences, blablabla.
The only donor whom I would accpet would be my partner. I in return am her donor. Always err on the side of caution. Most people seem to be more concerned about AIDS, but Hep B is one of the fastest spreading, well so my local health offical told me.
For my previous donors, the sight that I used required renewed health papers every 4 weeks for donors and ever 8 weeks for feeders. Im well aware of the possiblity of deseases, but if I dont take the risk I with out a doubt will die and stay that way, plus, theres really no where around here I can buy animal blood that Ive found.
well according to the medical database online its actually spelled : PORPHYRIA
"Porphyrias are a group of diseases that result from defective enzymes of heme biosynthesis. In symptomatic patients the specific porphyria can easily be diagnosed by specific laboratory tests.
During an acute attack, symptoms include severe abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, often pain in the extremities and in the back, and psychologic symptoms that range from anxiety to delirium. Urine may be dark or red in color because of increased amounts of porphobilin and porphyrins. Sometimes the disease progresses to peripheral motor neuropathy.
Acute porphyric attacks are often precipitated by factors such as certain drugs, excessive alcohol consumption.
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria=Acute attacks
Variegate porphyria (porphyria variegata)=Acute attacks and skin fragility
Hereditary coproporphyria=Acute attacks and skin fragility
Porphyria cutanea tarda=Skin fragility an liver disease
Erythropoietic protoporphyria=Photosensitivity, liver damage
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria=Severe skin symptoms, hemolysis
A list of unsafe drugs should be provided, and avoidance of alcohol consumption should be emphasized.
few female patients with acute porphyria may have frequent symptoms associated with menstrual cycles. The symptoms usually develop during the premenstrual phase. Exogenous estrogens and progestins, e.g., oral contraceptive pills, have been reported to prevent attacks in some patients.
Two specific and effective treatments for porphyria cutanea tarda are known, namely, iron removal by phlebotomy and low-dose chloroquine therapy.
In phlebotomy, 400 to 500 mL of blood is removed at weekly or biweekly intervals until the blood hemoglobin concentration falls to 100 to 110 grams per liter.
Strict regulation of dietary intake is recomended, e.g., a carbohydrate intake of 55 to 60% of total energy intake

Check your yellow pages for small butchers and inquire if they will sell you fresh blood. There is one in my area who butchers local beef and is always happy to sell blood for pudding and sausage.....or thats the excuse we use.
--Or you can explain you're working on a scientific project--which is what I DID use it for once.
They make the vampire joke, but explain to them it's something a little more serious. They'll usually shut up after that. LOL.
go to a hospital or a butcher... im pretty sure that they will give you blood
it would be cold tho but you would have to heat it up
you must be choosy of you donors luckly some of us have other halvs for that i sugest looking throu the forms and also other sites some people like being donors for us
grrrr what if there are no donars or they just dnt want to or not serious enughf? and back out when you try to see them? and you have to end up taking it or just keeping craving it?
Butterfly, that is a rather large conserne. And for any who have questions as per my knolege on the subject, Im not a doctor, Im the patient, I only know what I have to do to survive, and that is what and how the doctors have explained the condition to me. The symptoms not listed on the sight are found in several independant studies done my community members, Universities, private parties, and people who have it. Thanks for the suggestion of the yellow pages, and for the hospital, they dont give it out anymore, since 9-11 we've had a major shortage and since I could take drugs (YUCK) to suppress the symptoms, they dont want to give it to me to drink, plus, it wierds people out in the hospital. Myex-room mate however also had porferia, when he was in Canada (where he grew up) they gave him a blood bank card where he could litterally make withdrawls.
Not in America.

This site is very very very helpful in the ways of donors. And, it has some reciepies on there when you don't have one..if you are a blood feeding vampire.
Hope this helps.
I know AIDS and Hep Bwere mentioned as cautionary, just wanted to toss in Hep C, which is spread very easily through blood, can go a very long time undetected, and will kill you. It is also one of the pathogens most likely to be missed by screeners with blood donation agencies and up into the early 90's was spread more by blood transfusion than anything else.
Hep C can also be contracted sexually. There is no cure, there is no vaccine. It compromises your liver function, leading to cirosis and sometimes cancer.
If you find yourself in need of a feeding, but without access to blood, you could always get by with a group psychic feeding. It's not always as satisfying, but it will get you by until you can find a decent donor.
I find the info here fascinating. This thread is definatly helpful. And Im gonna give that site a try, thanks sooooo much for that tib bit of info. Anybody got anything else? And just out of shear morbid curiosity, if you are a blood feeder, what is you favorite type, age blablabla if you have one. Mine is 23-25 y/o gay males that are b-.
I agree with LaMuerte-- group feedings are a great way to 'cycle' almost effortlessly to get the energy you need.
Picnics, group outtings and events are a great way to attact the right crowd in the mood. :)
the best thing to do is find a doner
some one whilling ... its easiest and best kinda energy that way
Are you kidding me? Are you nutters actually drinking blood? Folks try some self control! Perhaps your delusions can be brought under control!
Replying to LordofNoctemAeternus: I really liked your post. I never really looked at feeding in so many lights. However, from what I have been able to gather about my past lives, I've only been a Vampyre for about 200 years, only 21 of which have been spent in my current form, so I suppose I still have much to learn. Many thanks for taking the time to post this information, it was truly enlightening.

Fangor,
Who the hell do you think you are to call me wrong?! Not everyone here is an RPGr like youd like them to be and not everyone here can "cycle" off the psi-energy of others to do sustain there needs. If I dont drink at least a cup of blood every 6 weeks, I get sick, weak and sluggish. I NEED to drink just like Im sure others here do. SO I ask again, WHO ARE YOU TO CALL US WRONG??? Why dont you try some self controll with that verbal vomit you seem to have going!
Perhaps everyone may be able to show a modicum of self-control?
I suggest responding to opinions that you do not agree with with calm and logical reasoning, since resorting to flaming will get the thread shut down.
STABB
either go to a butcher for animal blood or to a hospital in the blood banks
i have been hearing a rumar about blood tablets if you find any that might be an answer
As others have suggested blood bank, butcher maybe your personal doctor or a close friend who understands you.
BLESSED BE
Hi - i know this is no help to American Vampires (unless they are on holiday over here) but if anyone in the UK is looking for a donor, I'm available.
The easiest way to feed, so to speak, is when one crosses you, throw them into The Rabbit Hole. Hostile attempts are now rendered useless, and their time is now yours.
to bad im so weird.. i would gladly be a donor for any female vampire who would dear bite me.. but as i said .. in my dream's all female near me end up dead.. and im alway's there when they die.. but i can't help them.. cus it's like somthing is holding me and drowning them.
I would offer to help anyone in need of a donor, however I live in the Mid West and doubt that many of you are in my area. Also I'm a minor, so my father has complete control over where I can go and such, so it would be difficult to meet. I suggest butcher shops or just going out and buying raw meet; you can usually get blood from there.
I would be careful to whom you ask to be a donor. I know I have been one but know i am clean. I feel like others who mention a close friend who understands it or local blood banks or butcher. its hard to find people who get this lifestyle if ya know what i mean.
I find it hard to find people for donors. you must find a very close nit circle to do that with.
Nice thing though, I am also able to feed off of ki to keep Me going.
Dark Greeting's, Karnstein like me Lil'Bro best friend You'r comeing to Az in a week You know you can always feed on me as I do you..Me and Karnstein are Old ones,but our blood is satisfieing.Hey it's only a week then 3 wks. and you'r here to live we will find a heard.LA tude Bro.
Dark Blessing's,Bite's and Kiss's,

the thrill of the hunt not withstanding,caution must still be exercized,for those of us who are Sanguine and or Pranic,screening is a must,and not just your donor/s,have yourself checked as well,they are microbes,some do tend to slip thru the cracks, Be Well.
I know of a state where some poeple need to feed from blood everyday. actully i got to know from the bloodbank in malta becouse i am a blood donor i need to give blood becouse it effects my mood and get very ill to much presure.
But here we have a serice they go everyday and ask for blood and most of the time they give tham. i am availabel every 2 months to donate blood.... mine is o negative ( a rare blod)
When I'm in desperate need to feed, I ofen just go to my friends that I really REALLY trust and who know who and what i am, and basically bite them the females like it the most..... hehehee
But normally i only do that when im at the rock/Vamp pub, so the moods right...
If you can't turn to your friends, Butchers most definitly, or blood bank... I wouldn't advise Donors that you don't know, you don't know what you'd catch, be safe.....
Whatever and how ever you get your blood for feeding just remember the risks that go with it.
Hospitals I doubt will give you blood but sure try the butchers.
I would look for a blood bar... They will tell you where to go at the very least
i have been photosensitive to the sun from a very early age, but have recently began forming little bubbles on my skin when out in the sun. this is especially bad since i am serving in afghanistan right now and it is very hot and bright. any suggestions? please shoot me a message if you can. i don't always have time to browse the forums.
thanks
Everytime you use blood, you need to be very carefull...my advice...
Feeding psychically is the easiest and safest way to feed. I assure you it's the simplest, though sexual feeding is THE most appetizing, especially to the male population(of which I am in). It requires intimate bonds with the person in order to produce the desired amount of energy. However, it is possible, if desperate, to gather this energy from a...*coughs* hooker... but watch it, there is a slight possibility that you can catch a bit of the shakes when dealing with energy feeding if you get the wrong emotions.
Caution is a key concept with any feeding.
As more of a "sexual vampire" I tend to be rather picky with who feed from due to fluidborne pathogens.
With the right person, I can do it without even touching though, mostly through the arousal, so maybe "Psi" as well...still figuring that one out....lol
I have heard of some people who actually have to feed. I is a strange blood disorder i cant think of the name on the tip of my tounge but i have heard of it it is quite serious
i know there are some bloodbanks there and a lot of donors from what i have heard
First of all...thx to LordOfNoctemAeternus for the post...
So, let me see if i understand it well...
I love fighting, arguing, etc..., i feel good when im arguing with someone, i dont know why...
Some VR members can prove it to you.
But i never seek, who am i going to "feed of", and never argue if i dont have 100% sure that im right...
But, who is fighting with me, soon, leave the discussion...and i feel great...
Thats means, i fit/could fit in the Drama Vampyre?
(Should get a new name)..haha
Thats it?
