Do vampires favor Virgins blood more to any other blood????? ive seen some movies were they look for virgins or they just stright suck anything that comes past them??? lil help??
That's just Hollywood nonsense. It makes the vampires more sinister, and potentially more seductive.
"Once Bitten" with Jim Carrey poked fun at that requirement with noting how hard it was to find a virgin in the 90's (late 80's?)
The implication being that a virgin's blood was purer. Potentially only Elizabeth Bathory enjoyed this treat... and even that was not a necessity.
D
hey man take it easy just asking this is general discussion ya know...
Well, I always thought that they preferred any blood. A virgin's blood is pure and sweet but a sinner's blood should have more flavor to it. I would think.
OK, now, calm down. It's a fair question, as it has been in many films, or explicitly required or implied by the choice of victims in the films and TV.
The old, sinister, male vampires going after young maidens, often betrothed to another. I hate to say it, but Dracula started the trend, by Drac going after Mina. Even Lucy was a virgin, even though she did not act like it in some versions of the story.
D
i don't believe in vampire...
i don't believe in virgins either...
I have read of Vampire feeding off other than humans, such as rats, but thats a last resort, they would need to drink alot of rats, not worth the time and effort.. Vampire will drink blood from any human, thats for sure, mainly adults becasue they have the msot blood in their body, so by feeding of adults, they need to feed less and have a less chance of being caught. fact a babies has only one cup of blood in its body when it is bron, the avg human has around 10 pints,... Also, there is no substitute for human blood!!. None!!
LOL obi! I know a quite a few virgins on this site .. male and female ones, but I will not mention their names incase somebody wants to chug-a-lug their blood!
i don't think they'd care.
but they might prefer a virgin's nowadays though, all the STD's, HIV, AIDS, i think they might effect the taste
yuck
lol. You have a good point DeathIsBecoming. I don't think vampires care. They will drink any blood that is around no matter if the person is a virgin or not.
It could depend on how thirsty they are. Beggars can't be choosers, ya know? lol
Complete bullshit. Besides, most virgins are children, and I really would never bi te a child... or feed from one.
hahah well I'm sure there might be some cocky vampires out there who would try that...Actually I have no idea I never thought about that.
What about the mythology around such other beings like, Unicorns? Didn't they favor virgins? Not to eat but they would sit around with the virgins...oh wait maybe it wasn't the virgins, I think it was actually before they became "women" by bleeding. Okay never mind I don't know what I'm talking about. I think I'll agree with other people in saying it doesn't really matter. but there still might be cocky vampires out there... O.o
Me, i take it when i can get it doesn't matter who it it if i need you im gonna take you beware : [
Hate to burst anybody's bubble but believe me from a medical stand point and personal its all the same sorry :(
I agree with Chaos. However, if anyone does blood-letting then DeathIsBecoming has a good point. There are loads of STD's about etc.
i'm with the medical point of view. i don't see how having sex can make you have less pure blood...
if anything it's probably just good sport to go after the virgins.
"you ever had a PhD? that's good stuff" Jack, VTMB tutorial
in the same game they say quality matters. obviously a healthy diet would be good for the blood. but a hooker living a bit rough. or a hobo with a bad diet would have bad blood. and virgins of the past (like mina and lucy in dracula) would be well brought up and have good blood. so it could've started with that.
For some reason, it seams like virgin's are needed not only by some vampire's, but for sacrafices to gods, Dragons preffered virgin's I believe, What is it about Virgin's blood that makes it so desirable?
I'm going to go with the fact that it's so rare these days.
Ok, to be completely un-PC (like that's ever really bothered me), the whole virgin's blood thing may involve the thrill of the chase and subsequent acquiescence (or refusal), followed by either a little despoiling or deflowering.
I have to agree with you Req' it's the chace that made itso popular. It is also a way for (in older tells) to keep youngsters in at night and to keep them frm getting into trouble and being caught, ruining reputations, etc. Just one more legend to add to the books.
Yeah I would have to agree as well. In any other way it doesn't have a really huge impact at all.
I covers my chaste an innocently virginal neck......
hehehe
right....and if you believe that i've got a bridge I could sell ya
"Once Bitten" with Jim Carrey was such a stupid, corny movie. Choreographed dance scenes in vampire movies?! Being made in the late 80s is no excuse!
Other than in book and movies, I've never seen anything about virgin's blood
Oh great, just when I was beginning to forget that movie... -.-
Well this is what they taught me in *shudders* my Catholic school. In the clergy of Roman Catholics never marries and must stay as a virgin. You know, celibate... because sex is also a spiritual thing transfering your metaphysical powers to each other therefore conjuring new life & soul... No I'm not here to talk about the RNA transcript or how DNAs are formed. What I'm telling you is about the mystery of giving birth to a being with a rational soul.
A clergy celibates to contain that power within himself to be able to be a mediator of God and man. To represent God to Man and vice versa and to do three task as a prophet, a king and a priest. A prophet to explain and give the Word of God; A king to be of servitude to others; and A priest to to do his holy duties of baptizing, giving penance, consecrating the wine and bread to be the blood and body of Christ... and other sacrament etc...
Forgive me, I forgot to draw my conclusion. You can read my earlier posts above.
For the clergy to be able to do his work as a minister (priest, prophet and king just like Jesus Christ had done) he needs to have that metaphysical and spiritual power by whole. Those people, who chooses to have a mate and does have sex, gives half of those powers to be able to procreate a soul and the body which it will reside. Half is taken from both parents to create a complete full-fledged soul. So the parents' powers lessens when they er... mate, because the child takes it. One proof of this is that parents have shorter lifes span than those unfortunate bachelors... that is why people say virginity is a specail gift you give someone you love, because you are willing to give up that power just for your mate though some people never knew that. Therefore virgin blood is priceless not only purity but also within that blood holds the metaphysical and also spiritual power that resides in each and every one of us.
hehe, so then how did they explain to those kids their brothers and sisters ;)
and why parents with multipul children live as long as anyone else
there's also the fact of bachelors that help in that creation of another soul, and yet their lives are no more longer or shorter
you die when it's your time, most parents die younger because by that time it's the grandkids or great grandkids..in which case they most likely think to themselves "oh no..not again..quick where's the 'special' pills"
woah... this got deeper than i ever expected it to be, thanks for your comments.
hehe it was a good thread. people seem to really like this one.
wow.. all the comments i read all have points.. i am gonna just plain say, blood is blood.. unfortunatly there isnt muh "pure" blood out there anymore. everyone should look at my profile near the bottom of it. only way to get untainted blood is if you have connections to a blood bank who screens for stds'
Hello Crazywolf, yes you have a point there... my answer is its all in their state of mind. Some people think procreation is invigorating (Forgive me, I never had the guts to say s** again) and also doesn't physical activities give endorphines to the mind? If some people think that procreation is their way of freedom it heightens their spiritual and mental powers to go on further... just like determination it puts you beyond your limits... May I ask what is your opinion on this?
bit of a history lesson for you on the evolution of language.....The original meaning of Virgin.....an unmarried woman....
it had nothing to do with the physical aspect.....
it was just assumed that if you were unmarried.... you were celibate...
but the original meaning was unmarried..... not unsexed
I was taught the same thing laineyue... damn catholic schools!
Sometimes catholic schools are pretty informative and educating, but the other instances they're just plain annoying.../font>
Are you still a virgin if you used a tampon? Can your virginity be restored? by faith? prayer? lack of use?
....... im going over here now *walks to the opposite side of the room then yells across the room* ANYONE WANT TO HELP HER ON THAT ONE!?!?!?
LMAO if you don't know that one by now ...then noone here can answer that for ya Scarlett...lol
Oh yeah btw as a vegetarian who has ..... for want of a better word ...'drank'....various people's blood virgin and none virgin i find there is only a difference in whether or not the person is a vegetarain or a meat eater....I can also tell by various other bodily fluids but we won't go into that right now eh?? LMAO
im a virgin, and for everyone who wants to "suck my blood" you can kiss my ass because that stuff is scary!!
i can't imagine people going out at night and grabbing people and "sucking" their blood...i just don't see it.
would any blood suckers out there care to explain to me how they "suck" blood because i must have the COMPLETE wrong idea,...so before someone tries to bite my head off..or my neck....message me back and let me know!..but don't do it on here becyase i don't keep up with these things too often
I honestly do not prefer the blood of a human, virgin or not. For one it has to high a salt content. Basically it tastes like drinking a V8 or just straight tomato juice. I would rather feed on someones sheep then say a shepard's virgin daughter.
that sounds like El Chupecabra the latin american monster
well one thing about the blood of a virgin atleast in this day and age is they are much less likely to carry the taint of less tastey things like stds....
