The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

For many years now I have thought about becoming a donor. I was wondering how I would know who to trust and what would be the safest way of being a donor. I know there are alot of people who claim to be what they aren't and that can lead to serious danger.

Any suggestions?

There is no one answer to this question. The safest way to do it is to get to know the person for a long while before you do it. Not just online, in person. I would also avoid most of these donor sites..net predators love them.

Yeah I agree get to know and trust them before you become their donor I know I wouldn't become someone's donor the first time I met them lol trust would definatly have to be there.

I`ve been a donor for 4 times, they always give candy :D

It's a hard decision that should really be thought of for years upon years-- and perhaps many more.

Only after you've shared your blood with another are you free to see thier other side. They may treat you as a plaything, or perhaps nothing but a mealticket-- and for this you must be very, very careful.

Not everyone in the lifestyle sees the person they drink from in such a manner as something to be revered or even worshipped. Many will go overboard-- and you must be careful at -all- costs.

Everyone seems to know what they are talking about. I will sound like a broken record but here it goes, People should earn your trust, then think about what to do with them.

Sadly just trust will not a Donor/vampire link make.

Many a time has there been indescretions(sp) over various links in the human psyche that allow for little bits of trust to rust away only to find a person weaker than before. This goes both ways.

Hmm, this is a tricky on you need to decide as I gues it varies for others. You really do need to know and trust this person well.

Ditto what everyone else said. Myself, I offer myself up for just about anyone, as long as I make the wound myself, as I know I have a good knowledge of the human body, having gone to medic courses. But then, I also rush into things at times and to hell with the conequences. So, probably don't want to be lime me.

As was already stated, please know this person face to face and very well before hand. Your being a donor can be easily abused if you are not careful.

what you need to do is learn what actually transpires between a donor and a vampyre...how the donor is effect by the removal of blood and how the blood is obtained...

then when you have done that..you have to get to know your donor...because its stupid to just give yourself over to someone without knowing what kind of person they are

I would say trust no one . . . but that totally doesn't help you. I'd suggest doing a lot of research before you do anything, and talk to donors you know.

I agree with mrd. The best way for you to know if you can trust someone is to get to know them. Take to time to find out what they are like as a person before giving them the gift of your energy.

Don't Trust Anyone

Yea getting to know the person first is very important in my opinion and well make sure he ain't got no HIV or AIDS lol seriously! And wellI wouldn't trust anyone....if ne thing I would eat raw meat or something.

I am very leery about who I choose for a donor now since I had a bad experience. Please know this person well in advance. I suggest you both have your blood tested to make sure you are both clean. Learn as much as you can about being a donor before you make the final decision.

I am a donor now they can have my parts when i die. I'n ot all for it but other people will need em if they are still workable Blessed be!

Being a donor is something that is very intimate. More intimate than any other physical act you will ever do. It must be done with someone you trust and care for a great deal. Both of you should get tested for diseases and test regularly. Know when to stop. You are not immortal so don't take a chance. Be safe and I wish you well.

The only person i habe ever or will ever accept blood from is my husband........we've know each other a very long time and that is something special we share with each other

Like most of the people I know who have donors, I would only choose someone I have known personally for a long time, and only after a medical screening to be safe.

Probably just get trust with them make sure they are in perfect health and that there isn't anything horrible that they are trying to hide from you.... Also it would be best if that person was someone that would openly tell you if they got a disease later on after chosing them as donor.... Also anyone addicted to drugs would be out of the question.....

well, get to kno the person well and try to find references...i myself would LOVE To be a donor...however every one is too far

Well , i only trust my closest friends to help me with the blood problem because i live in romania , so it's very probable to be burned alive and then my heart ash drunk if i ever go at the country side...

I'm not really sure, i dont even know If I'm going to donate my organs or not.

I would suggest you find someone in person before thinking about that

I would suggest that you do not become a donor

i am a donner it has to be through a organization and if you do donate make sure they will do good thigs with them

Don't see why you should want to become a donor. beisdes don't trust anyone. I don't.

Wise wisdom, don't trust anyone...yeah i'm joking there. Like everyone else said, trust. Oh and don't be stupid, don't give what you can't give, meaning don't over do it

Thats a good point not to over give. Remember there is a diference between donating your blood to someone and giving your whole life away with it. You are only able to give a certain amount before you need blood yourself.

just do what your heart says if you dont agree RUN RUN LIKE THE WIND ; p

hmm being a donor. i guess most things was said, but i want to tell things how i look at them.

i never donate blood as i am a pure sang. i love blood and need it in a way. it must be pure and it must be clean.

trust is important in the relationship between the donor and the sang. both must trust each other, both most respect each other and both have to secure for each other that everything will be ok.

a lot of ppl dont care too much about all that, but if there isnt a deep relation between them. as friends, as lover or in another way its not good.

the donor has to guarant that the sang will not get ill from the blood and the sang has to guarant that he or she will not drink to much, that they will take care of the donor if he or she gets weak and that they will protect her.

ive been awakened now for six years and followed always this rule. i never got in trouble with drinking, never got ill and never abandoned my donor.

to built such a deep bond you need more then talking on the net. you need to meet this sang you need to be around him. see how he acts in his environment. only like this you can be sure to trust him or her.

I agree with much said here. It is intimate, it is a matter of getting to know the person as well as getting to the place that is quiet inside yourself and listening to the best sound of all.
The sound of your inner self saying Yes or No.
And then knowing that all segments of your beautiful being are in agreement.
your upper mind/your heart and your gut.
If all basic things are fine...outside elements/no obvious red flags or bombs going off in the horizon...(funny how those are missed sometimes)
and if you listen to your core and know what it says
then consider. Consider raising the intimacy level ...consider it and see where it takes you.
then listen to your inner voice again.
lol.
it is a beautiful thing.

i have found that the best donors you can have are very close friends. during a really intense time in my life,one where i needed to feed almost daily (usually at night,during spring and summer for some reason) i had taken to carry around a carefully sterilized razorblade,used only for that purpose,only on one person. i learned that close friends that truly understand your nature,and mostly those who are cutters,are more than willing to spare a little blood.generally,i would never feed from a donor who i didn't know on an intimate level.not intimate as in sex,but intimate as in sharing secrets,being close friends in general just trusting each other.

Dont want to sound like a broken record here ... but but you need to trust that person more then you trust yourself...Sharing apart of yourself in a way that is that intamant (sp) can do emotional damage to yourself in the long run if the other person takes advantage of your offering... do your research..

GD

In my humble opinion, since blood is something personal and with every drop you give from the life and soul in you...trust is a must, but I would rather make sure there is a strong connection with the person taking form you, since blood bonds are not easy to break...

If I ever got it into my head to need to do something like this in either being a donor or feeding on a donor, I would sure as hell make sure that whomever I was doing this with was tested along with having been tested myself for anything nasty that would end up screwing up the entire rest of my life.

The risk these days of getting some awful disease or infection outweighs any real need for me to behave like this. Plus I am too pretty to mark or cut up.

The only safe person really would be your spouse or significant other that you've been with. You should both have been tested for transmittable diseases already to reduce the risks involved.

I agree with what the others have said. Trust and really knowing the person is essential. Trust does not come easily. Really knowing the person takes time and effort. It just depends on how much you are willing to commit to the process...

trust is a must with donors

i find the most people take the same kind of time and thought on taking a donar as they do taking a lover. and not without good reason. there are tons of STDs that can be passed on durning feeding. and no offence, but even the people who think thier vampires and safe from stuff like that are probably wrong.

being a donor is a little safer than being the vampire, if you do it through a cup or other form of chalise. however, if the vamp is drinking directly from the font, if you know what i mean, then you'll both be in danger.

don't think your going to far if you want to take STD check up's together before you do anything.

I myself have a taste for blood when im cooking or handling raw meat. However i cant see drinking blood from another. If ur going to be a donar give it to those who will die wthout it, not just those who get pleasure from drinking it. :) If u deside to donate ur blood for enjoyment, be safe and study it a little more before u jump right in.

new experiences with different people... id say dont worry if u dont trust them, just make sure you have some control,

I think every concern that could be brought out has been in this thread, so I say this, if you feel the need to be a donor, just as there are those that feel the need to feed, then take reasonable precautions, get to know those that feed in your area, and make the offer to the Vampire who you feel drawn to, see if he/she will be reasonable and safe, and take things from there.

Trust is overrated. Be a victim.

I have a story, when I was 16 yrs old i became very ill and was in the hospital for months and it came down to where i needed a blood tranfusion. Well I got the blood transfusion and they also asked me family to donate back some blood for doing so. This is the time when they didnt really test the blood like they do now.
So as I got older I started to have liver malfunctions and found out that the blood i got had 1 pint had Hep C in it and now I have it for the rest of my life. My kids never got it tho, and my levels are never up. So that goes to show you who really knows? Even doctors arent perfect they make mistakes all the time.
Thanks for the thread :)

do what you think is right to you. i don't know what kind of advice to give you. that is all i can say.

There is no one answer to this question. The safest way to do it is to get to know the person for a long while before you do it.

Being a donor concoders many differnt things, not just trust but the vampire would need to have compassion, caring, and understanding of the donor, and NEVER! take from a donor or the unwilling willing is a good thing. Get to know your vampire feeder first and check them out, get to trust them and they you. Check out background and history of the person if you can, after all that is said and done have cautious but bloody fun:)

Don't trust anyone!

to be a donor is a serious commitment... You have to think long and hard on this, because you are giving a vampire more then just sustenance, you are giving them part of yourself, your blood is a lifesource... Once you give it it is never again going to be able to be got back, and there will always be a connection from that point on.

seriously I think anyone who is a donor should prove medical clearance blood play should be safe

you need to know the vampire first,trust him ,have to be a special bond between you and vampire,i know sometimes is hard to trust somebody and confide in somebody,you have the answer if you trust him and if you want to be the donor.

i dont trust anyone at first always get to know them first before doing any of that nature, just a good to be safe then sorry my friend aids is nothing to play around with these days.

I agree with the VR members here that have told you about trust and yes since there is so much out there besides just HIV/AIDS there is also Hep C, B, A name it many things ajax cant wash out becareful..I knew a few Vampire in San Francisco and one of the houses did interviews for donors much like a dating service it seemed to work well for this house and the Vampire

I agree with the others also that said you first have to get to know a person first and of course you should have alot of different tests done on the person because in today's world there are all kinds of diseases that have not been named yet either.

The mommy in me says, while you are waiting to be a donor, go to a blood bank and give blood. They are allways low on the stuff!

I donate blood! Blood banks are always looking for donors, and as blood replenishes itself, I have no qualms about using it to possibly save someone's life.

BUT on your question. Get to know them first, as everyone else has said. Make sure that you're comfortable sharing that vital part of you with them in intimate ways. There's a major difference between blood donating for medical purposes and for vampyrism.
