The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

If you have a donor... how did you find them!? I don't know anyone in person that's into the whole vampire thing and how strange would it be to put an advertisment in the paper: "Blood donor wanted for regular meals. Please apply in person to..." I get very strong thirsts and I don't feed which makes me angry and abusive then leaves me feeling drained and depressed. I need a donor...
Also I live in New Zealand, (small country at the bottom of the earth....lol) so there's not so many people.

i think you should advetise can you imagine ppls reactions
lol

Isn,t there a blood bank near you.If not go for the advertisement,hope you get lucky.its a night mare when you need to feed.take care.Suavevamp

Lol yeah. Would start up a spark in this town I think. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I might be moving back to the sunshine coast, Australia, so perhaps there's someone near to there that can help?

You can get blood from a blood bank? I thought that was just for keeping blood for transfusions and things. I haven't seen one around. Can anyone go in and buy some?

There are few donors on VR. But i found mine through a sight that is not longer up. my advise to you ins to make sure that when you do find a donor that you make them get tested. and have them get tested every 3-6 months regularly. make sure that you can trust your donor before you drink from them!

If you can't locate a sanguinarian donor, perhaps you could learn to psychically feed? It's remarkably effective when you don't have access to blood.

I have been a donor for along time.
But for myself, I have practiced psychic feedings.

I actually found my donor completely by chance, at a convention. We kept talking over the next week and found out we both share sanguinarious traits.

Don't advertise in the paper. You'll get a lot of stranger answers that not only could be just plain weird, but you might also get someone... disturbed responding to an add for a "donor".

If you need a donor, go to the nearest vamp club or goth night at any bar. Look around and find what you see. It may take a little longer, but you will end up with someone who is more likely to be open to being a donor.

Also remember, the donor topic isn't necessarily a "first date" topic either. The good thing about going to a goth club is that they are already part of the gothic scene, which gives you a better chance at them being open when you do tell them.

I don't like to take from people. I usually get animals. Mostly little rodents do it for me. Anything my cat happens to catch for me. He loves to hunt but he refuses to eat em. Gotta get rid of em somehow! lol

You could try to charm a person though if you prefer human. Get them horny enough and they won't care what you do so long as they find it pleasurable... Or so I've been told.

Or just get a cat. :P lol

I found my donors from actual close friends, and having been online in a OtherKin community, which helps, a plus for the internet. Do an internet search- you will find places to help; I know Shadowlore has a link to a vampire/donor network.

You must be careful about approaches and how you express yourself and your needs...many ppl will in fact think you crazy, and doing this in clubs isn't always wise either (since it can lead to voilence at the worst, being kicked out, a slap, , and this is if they respond negatively- remember not all goths believe in vamps, or ARE one)

Once you have a donor, get yourself AND them tested, every 3-6 months, and build a relationship of trust.

Try reasearching online i agree wioth mrd u can never be to carefull, on what to do or who to be donored with.

Lonely Kiwi or not, I would say that finding a donor should be secondary to finding safe and trustworthy friends that you can talk to about this. Let me explain. I would hesitate to advise you to start trolling websites or hooking up with strangers. Even if someone makes claims of being disease free, this isn't like sex. There's no condom you can make them wear. There's no dental dam that can be used. Blood exchange is ultimately about trust and why should you trust a stranger. Unless you are willing to walk them to a medical center in order to have them tested and then see the results with them (which still doesn't clear you of any recent exposure), you are taking very serious chances with blood borne pathogens for what could realistically just be a fetish...that you might not even like once you try it.

If you haven't shown signs of illness or weakness due to lack of ingesting blood then why start? I'm still not convinced that ingesting blood gives anything more than an adrenaline rush.

Hey go for the advertisement.... May be kinda interesting just to see reactions of some people.

My last donor was a VERY close friend of mine. The only reason we stopped is because she had to move due to reasons beyond our control. :( I MISS HER!!

As far as finding one yourself...my advice is BE CAREFUL!! If you decide to go the internet route, make sure that you don't actually get into the blood thing until well after a relationship is established. You don't want to get someone who thinks they'll like it, gets freaked, and charges you with assault. O.o Bad things can happen, and you MUST keep that in mind.

i got my donors because first i said that i had a vampire fetish, then when i got them to trust me more i told them about the vampirism and now they willingly give me blood. i don't have the power of mind control, i have an increase in seduction.

I know what you mean. I haven't been able to find a donor yet. I live in North Carolina, which is in the bible belt. I can't imagine asking people to give me blood. Not to mention, the diseases scare me. You would have to find a good friend that you could absolutely trust.

well this post is a good start. use this site, and any other vampire sites to try to find a contact near you who is willing to be a donor. i have heard there is some sort of onliner directory for donors and vampires - anyone else know about this?

Sanguinarius.org has some sites for donor meets but I would stress very heavily that none seem to have membership requirements on disease checking but try to promote an air of trust.

I would have to say that you never know what will happen until you try. It would be much easier if you had others that were vampyres in your area; however, since there do not seem to be running a more discreet ad in the paper or online might not be such a bad idea.

So far my wife is my only donor but I would also like to look into other options.

If you go online looking for a donor, make sure you both get tested for all kinds of illnesses. It is possible to buy from a blood bank but you need a special permission and a good reason.."I am hungry does not work" They do not just hand out those permissions.

Like many others, I suggest learning the ways of engergy feeding. It bypasses the serious illnesses and is easier and more healthy both on you and your donor.

I only use My closest friends. if they are true, good, close friends, you would be surprisedwhat they would do for you. just try talking to them about it. but be sure they get tested. often.

I found mine or rather mine found me. Mainly you speak to people of like minds and interests and if you happen to live close by or able to travel.
It's not like we advertise for them or them for us. There are however clubs and place that practice, but I am not entirely sure how safe they are. I have two private ones and then I have met a few that offered to feed me.

stick to those you know...locate groups...If you have ever feed you should have an idea of where to start....be safe ...test them often....very often....good luck

I, like others, cannot stress enough about getting both the donor and yourself tested on a regular basis. And as I have mentioned in another thread of this nature, find out what medications the donor(s) are taking and compare them with any that you take to check for any kind of reaction. A good place to look for starting a relationship prior to "popping the big one" is Meetup.com. It is a site that will notify via e-mail about up coming get togthers with the vampyres and otherkin in your area after you register on the site. It is free so what is it going to hurt? Other than that, sanguinarious.org has a fairly good size listing of vamp/donor classifieds. One piece of advice on going to the club scene to look for a possible donor is to listen and trust your senses when it comes to mingling with the other patrons. A lot of otherkin have a certain "vibe" about them and it is very easy to see, hear, and understand that vibe if you tune in to your senses. Carpe Noctem

Thanks everyone. I'll try to talk my friend into it. She has considered it but she's not quite willing to draw enough blood for me... I think I'll use the internet to find someone. So apart from sanguinarius.org and what was it... meetup.com? are there any other websites you can recomend? Preferably Australian ones as I've just confirmed I am moving to QLD, Aus.

I gusse I was lucky I met mine on accident she was a friend of mine. I never realy thought to much about this but now that you have brought it up I don't know what I would do if this one left. hope you can find one soon.

First and most importantly.. you have to feel 100% comfortable with the person who you want to be your donor, and they have to be 100% willing.
I'd also insist on having that person checked for any sort disease that you could catch.
Finding the right 'donor' can take YEARS.
And there is no one RIGHT place to look. I mean for all anyone knows, the possible donor they've been looking for could bump into them in the grocery store. It's all about timing and luck

Just remeber... BE SAFE, BE HEALTHY

I do not "find donors" they find me in a sense, that they are willing participants.

On My Personal Experience You May At Times Seek Donors Out, Or Even Run Into Them By Mistake, But This Would Be 1 Chance Out Of 100.
There Is Something That Natural Blood Donors Have That Call The Sufficient Atencion Towards The Vampire. It Is A Sort Of Submissive Atraction.

Anyhow, Try The Advertisment, This Should Be Extremely Strange For Many, But It Would Work.

i am sure if you research on the internet you would find donors near you...

finding a donor is hard to do for most i guess but i live in a big city and its not hard to find vamp freaks here so i find donors pretty easy

I Guess I'm A Lucky M.F., My Wife Just Happened To Love The Taste Of Blood As Much As I Do, And We Both Crave It.
Other Than That It Is Hard To Find A Donor.
My Suggestion Is Go On Gothic Match And Look For A Blood Doll.

Lol, you know if you want clean blood with having the hassle of the testing’s and stuff you could work as a volunteer drawing blood. You won’t actually draw the blood yourself ;) but you will handle it, leaving a perfect chance to swipe some clean blood.

I really need a donor as well. I am in Ohio, and if anyone is interested or knows someone who would be, please message me, and let me know. I'm almost desperate! i'm irritable, depressed, cranky.... Energy feeding is not enough for me! Please, if anyone in the ohio area, around akron/canton, PLEASE contact me!!! I am grateful to anyone who does

Most donors are friend or lovers.You can find a donor on many of the vampire forums.Sanguinarius for one has a huge help section and safely tips for those looking and those willing to be a donor.I am sang/psi vampire and have had a donor for some time.It all depends on where ya look my friend.

Like anything else the smaller the place you live, the less likley you will be to find someone into anything less 'mainstream'. If you have a true desire to find somone, you may want to travel to a major city in your area. I don't know how far it is to a major city in your area. But making the trip might be worth it...

Well for me it’s not that hard, I am always in black plus I have fangs so most females I meet know who and what I am.
I hide from nothing I am who and what I am, most of the females I meet start off by saying you can bite me anywhere they say it jokingly I smile and say anytime we talk and I let them know the deal, and we take it from there.

well i think putting sumut in the paper would be a bit of fun but as for getting a donor i myself have never had to go looking i am quight lucky that my other half is in to the feeding and i naver have to ask twice

I dont think placing an ad is the answer... you wouldnt know who the other person is and what he or she has but.... it would be kind of funny to see if anybody and how many answer...lol

it is important to have you and you'r donor check for aids and other things I have mine checked every 6 months just thought I would post this as it is important at least to me

Wow, unique problem. A bit of advice: certainly you do not want to post an ad into the local paper (you might find out what true pain and suffering is once the lynch mob comes a knockin on your door). Not qiute sure how to approach someone out of the blue With "I Vant to drrink your blood". Maybe you are in the right place (here on VR).... find someone who is into the vampire lifestyle and through trust build a relationship ect. Other than that your run the risk of personal and possible legal Problems...

ROFL@ putting a request in the paper!

Well I found one and wasn't looking when it happened....my wife. I just got lucky I guess. I didnt think she would be into it and never asked her but one day we were talking about my lifestyle (vampirism) and she asked me to drink from her because she wanted to give herself to me fully.

I would guess you could find someone in your local vamp or goth club. Just be-careful and get tested first.

the donor should be checked properly before everything

Oh i think the ad in the paper would work out great! Imagine all the interesting folks who might come a knocking... Or you could try doing match.com or any of the other million online dating sites, and in your personal description say you need someone to donate their blood for your vampiric needs...

Maybe thats why you cant find a donor. On the other hand I might be willing to donate to any that have needs.

i need to do some research to find new dinors its been a while since i truly ate, and my hubby dosent allow me any more he says i enjoy him to much lol

i am very stingy with my blood i might feed but not give my blood to no one . there two people that can have my blood and that is my lovely kids. so i know that i cant be (no) dinor for no one.

there are two ways that i know to get a donor. Go to the vampire library.com or drinkdeeply.com and list for a donor. a few ppl will talk but do back ground checks so you don't get hurt.

the thing with going to raves is that there is often time a drug scene involved there. there are exceptions to every rule of course but I have worked as a medic at enoguh of the to know that it is there.

I would strongly encourage you to find a "soul mate" who is also in the scene. it is amazing how you can often times feed each others thirst.

I agree very much with Felix, I would not advize just advertising yourself randomly. HIV and Hepititus are rampant throughout the "alternative" scene, and lets be realistic...not too many mundanes are going to volunteer to be blood donors, so really think on it before you do anything. And considering psy-feeding is not a bad idea.

Internet-sites like this

After reading this, it seems to me that finding a donor is a little like finding a nonromantic sex partner. You have a need that you must fill, but broadcasting it can get you in trouble, both by alienating youself and by attracting freaks. Also, the disease risk is a good comparison here, as well. I suggest for you the solution that has been perscribed to me so many times for MY need: make friends, let them know who you are, and eventually you'll find someone who feels the same as you. By that point, too, you can trust the person enough to get into that kind of relationship with them.

As a side comment, I've never tried either end of this type of relationship, but I'd like to, some time. My only problem is my intense fear of needles/knives, but if done with the right person, I think that might make it even better.

find someone near you who is also a sanguine. And discuss the topic with them. ask others that are like yourself. You never know what rock may hide something valuable to you underneath it.

agreed, one thing that might work as well is to take a cert course in phlebotomy. This will teach you the safe practice of blood drawing. Most cities in the US and Canada have a needle exchange program of some sorts so that would provide you a means to get clean hypodermics.

what the hell....I'd be open to being a donor if anyone is from my area...msg me. damn my curiosity.

While I was lucky enough to find a donor in my husband, I recognize we're not all that lucky. Finding a donor is hard and can be very stressful.

One thing I would like to stress is that you should never never never drink animal blood. Not only can an animal not give consent to the feeding, but who knows what is in that blood!

There are a few sites online with donor registration sites...sometimes there are just personal ad sites or message boards, but they all work.

http://www.sanguinarius.org
http://www.vampire-church.com
http://www.vampyresociety.org
http://sphynxcatvp.nocturna.org/
http://www.houselilitu.org/DonorRegistry.html

For a quick sang fix there are several options. animals, excess blood in packages of uncooked meat at your local groccery store, or donors of course. donors can be found in many places. it truly depends on how desparate you are, and how good your manipulative vamp powers of persuasion are. almost anyone can potentially become a willing donor. then again, if you found someone into kinky sex, you could subtly suggest "blood play" in order to get you fangs in 'em. and naturally theres the good old fashioned way of taking what you need to survive...willing or not ...here i come... lol

I have had the same donors for over a year now, since the night i was brought into the fold, our house actually finds them initially for you to feed, then you are sent forth to find your own, with your initial always as a fall back.
Again though please make sure that you get your donor and yourself tested, i do it every three months, i probably wouldn't advertise in newspapers, to much risk of exposure to people who don't understand our ways, it is also important to mentally screen your donors, for being a donor takes a mental toll as well as physical, you must truely trust your donor as well for a donor who cannot keep to themselves what goes on when you feed, can cause to much trouble.
The best donors normally come from close friends, or if you have a close family your siblings.

Sanguinarius.org has a sight that you might be interested in take a look

I am still looking for a full time donor I have a few people who do it every once in a while but would like to find someone "fulltime"

i would only go to someone you know internet seems too dangerous to me when it comes to something like blood

like some others have said, just take from a blood bank. or else find a victim and store their extra blood. it should last you for a while... or just move to like, china or somewhere :)

I don't -find- donors.... i take what i want when i want... Psychic feeding just isnt the same to me...

Sad to say, my boyfriend lives in NZ. He got freaked out when he found out I was into this shit. Plus I wouldn't volunteer him anyway. But if I lived there with him, which I plan to move there when I get older. I'd gladly be your donor. XD

run an ad in the personals.. even if it seems corny you never know.

You could post something on here about looking for a donor.

You could probably go to a gothic club or use the internet to find one..

Well first thing you want to do is for sure make sure whoever you find is clean. Vampire forums are a good place to start but I agree with a couple of people in here that friend or lover is the best place to get a donor. Energy is a great substitute though if you can't get blood or are just to worried about what you could catch out there

In the places were there are few people who share such, sometimes the only choice is moveing as I am.
I am willing to be a donor as well as do I need to Feed.

Try to find a vampire site or group based where you live. Good luck hun.

I totally agree with the whole comfort factor in your donor. I could never imagine having to do something so intimate with a somebody from somewhere....something like that should totally be with someone you're close with.

trust and honesty are very big issues in a situation like that.

I've always had the easiest time finding them online...

I'd say put out the ad. You never know what you might get.

Anyway, I don't know how to go about getting a donor; then again I only know psy vamps and they feed off of sexual energys. Not hard to come by now a days.

All my donors started as friends and moved up to donor from there. I find people are alot more accepting than you may think. At least those that know what I am and are willing to be my firend kniowing this are. lol That is half the battle right there. Usually the first donation was an accidental thing. They cut themselves while cooking or something like that and I would usually laffinging ask if they were gonna waste it or could I lick it off. Youw ould be surprised how many will offer to let you lick it.. I am assumeing most think your kidding lol. But keep in mind these are people I know well. And after they see your not going to basically attack them the rest seems easier to deal with lol.

In response to the thread... "Finding a Donar" Perhaps take a look at this very lengthy discussion to find your answer.

Hey I feel the need to say that I have several donors. But I have very close friend and a loving boyfriend whom donates to me however.

well i stay to one at a time so i dont cross my meals i only reed off of the one i am with and it does show alot of respect to do that so you might want to keep it to one

my donor is my housband but he dose not allow me to feed very often

My donor is my live in boyfriend. If you can't get any, try helping control your cravings. Drink something red like Hawaiian Punch (has sugar so you get a teensy bit of energy). Just try it, aiight?

if i could only find a donor i would be happy but since i cant ive been getting animal blood

I would strongly suggest not putting an ad in the newspaper. You might get some freaked-out responses or something fake. It's better to play it safe. Go to a "goth club" like someone already suggested - people there are more likely to be familiar with and open to vampirism.

I've heard about some gothic or vamp bight clubs will have a thing,where you can get blood tested to become a donor to feeders at the club.For saftey sake.

ooops,I meant Night clubs.

Not much help, but I find all of mine with relationships. I usually use a boyfriend. If you've been together for a while then they usually don't mind even if they're not into it. I just make friends with strange people and straight up ask them if they will let me and then we arrange what I will do that they will be comfortable with.

Donors aren't easy to find, especially when you are in a small town, or bible belt country. I have one, that I trust fully. I do occassionally find a donor but it's rare. I don't think I would or could trust ones picked up in night clubs.

I dont know how you can find a donor. Maybe you can just find a partner and share blood that way.

My advice would be to ask a close friend for help.... if not definetly advertize the shock factor would be great!!!

relationships relationships relationships love mind ,BODY,and soul nuff said

I would agree that a relationship is the safest way to ensure clean blood. But if that's not available to you, ask a friend or something.

Donors are few and far between... because most people are thoroughly creeped out.

for a very long time i was plagued by the cravings. But a donor was not a option for me so i decided to wait, and when the time came that the cravings came i managed to find someone to feed off energy from and if that wasnt enough, i learned to feed from myself.

As time went on i didnt manage to get friends who ever had the potential to become my donor, for the rare few i did find that had a slight interest of things of blood giving i stayed close to them and for years i groomed them into the roles of being open towards me, but throughout that time some of them changed from that role and i had no chance of making them that role.

Then just about 5 years ago i happened to meet my donor, though it took several years for us to open up to each other and for me to groom him, hes been my off and on donor for 6 months now, he makes sure to get tested every three or four months. Though it took me a long time to get a donor I do know that my patience is one that can endure any lengths.

Sometimes in rare situations you may be able to find what ur looking for. Believe me I know what ur going through and its not easy. wish you best of luck with ur endeavor of finding a willing donor, perhaps going to a club or making some friends open to donating blood.

I live in NJ and I found a donor through MYSpace

Quite a few of vampire forums have postings for people looking and wanting to be donors.Sanguinarium for one, also has tips for SAFE blood letting and feeding.please take the time to be safe.
