The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Do you people think that the intensity of this thirst is innate or comes with time? Maybe a combination of both?

I dont know if theres people here that drink... say... a full small cup of blood... lol!... but anyways... what are your thoughts on this?

Actually I think this subject has been coverned several times.

I believe it comes in time.

by the way.. i forgot to say... i have never drank a cup of blood in my life. And i would never criticize someone who has or does.

It depends.. with time mostly

I do remember some people saying it also comes naturally to them but also in moderation as well.

What happens is that i have heard about teenagers drinking fair amounts of blood... pretending... or being? a vampire.

Which brings me to another question... do all vampires drink blood? Because the most common association is vampire-blood, not vampire-energy.

Well most of the time their just saying that to bring attention to themselves, what I have encountered myself. It really doesn't do much harm to human body in small doses. But drinking alot will have ill effects to the body.

That is also being brought up. For me personally, yes. Vampires do not just drink blood but also your life energy or force. Of course thats my opinion

I have to agree with most everyone else, mainly because thats how it was for me, it was aquired with time, I have however come across some who say it was just something they felt compelled to do, an inner drive, and to answer the most recent question, no not all drink, most feed in some way, but not all drink

Well I know that alot of more of the people who would have info on this particular subject are not on at this time and day cause its the weekend.lol

I dont know about anyone else, but when my palet is not quenched by regular liquids, and food tastes like syraphome, I love a good rare steak. Any red meat. Either that, or engage with the wife in...(Adlib here).

i am a blood drinker myself and i can say that it comes in time to me but it can be afected by your suroundings

Well I my self have never drank any blood and I do not pretend to be a vampire, but I have always heard that the thirst is very intense and can become worse over time...but like I said I am not a vampire so I wouldn't know.

I have never had a thirst or an urge to dring blood, so yeah I don't consider my self to be a vampire, I really don't know how intense the thirst is for those of you who are vampires, but I have been interested in what drives people to actually drink blood and I have seen threads on this quite often during my stay on V.R and I enjoy reading every one's opinions or experiences on this, I don't know why but it is very interesting to me.

I think it's a combination of both, really. The longer you go without it the more you will need it. The longer it is a habit for you, taking energy and blood, the more you will need to do it as time goes by.

But also, there is the initial thirst and hunger which in essence must be fed for the process to begin.

The thirst can get unbearable at times. It's not only the taste, but the essence of the person you are sharing it with.

for the blood itself it never increased I stillonly lick, but for energy it did increase, use to only take it by sexual intercourse once in a while and was good, now I need it and it makes me vunerable, since its a need, it gives me desire to searhc for it, for the energy, I am a succubi, and right now starving.

The only other energy i can get that helps is the one release from the laughter of people, wierd huh?

the thirst for me has gotten stronger but luckily i only really need to feed once or twice a month thanks to my donor

I think its both

The thirst comes with time. I myself did not get a feel for cravings untill I reached my 25th b-day. But all my life I have been a drainer of energy.

When i drink blood...which is once a month it is the most quenching liquid i can find...On the other days....I drink from water fountains and soda and teas..they all leave me more thirsty for anything else...But i feel that it comes with time...as all things there is a time when these thirsts develop not just blood but energy too..I feed on energy more than drinking water...and these urges came a few months ago..before i thought about there really being vampires..

I believe it comes with time....though I have not be drawn to drink blood....but I do very much so enjoy the taste....

You are not born with the desire to drink blood, however once tasted it is a thing worked up to and developes over time...333

the need is innate. sometimes it may start as a smaller desire, but it can manifest into an out and out lust depending upon the need of the vampire.

there are a lot of fluffy answers here as usual. remember that thirst is directly proportionate to the need; it's the concept of supply and demand, only put in terms of thirst and need. supply is never an issue since there is always prey, willing or unwilling.

there are days where i am fine and don't need to feed at all. there are others where the need is high enough to warrant a direct feeding from a donor. being 'in between' donors at the time, i can state that i will either drain energy from the ambient surroundings (not always effective) or from others around me directly. the change is almost always noticeable by the one being drained if i take enough.

The Thrist comes with time. but it is for me some thing intamit i dont just give and take to just anyone i've gone years with out drinking from another because i dont find anyonewho i have that connection with. Now energy thats differant as a Dj i feed off the energy of the crowd It's a rush.

To be honest with you i feel no urge at all to taste blood again

There are many types of vampires not just blood drinkers but those that do not normally drink blood can survive on it if what they normal intake is not readliy available. As for teens yes it to get attention but at times they actually do like the tatse or sometimes they may be a natural born vampire that has not fully awakened. Humans that drink blood really shouldnt drink too much because it can make them real sick. Now there are some people that have for some reason the need to have blood, not nessacarily drinking it but eating it, for example, there are people who have say Irish blood and because the Irsh live in a cold climate they eat a lot of red meat because it helps the body stay warm, well those people will find that if they go for a long period of time without red meat will have this hunger for it to the point that if you hand them a bloody steak they will eat it raw once they have red meat they are okay, sometimes these people are also natural born vampires and so when they are with a person is they go to nibble on the person in play or sex or whatever then they will have the urge to bite to the bone, or tear away a piece, and their canines will feel like they are itching or is tingling as though they are trying to extend

I have tasted blood before, it did not really taste like anything, and i am not sitting here going insane to drink more blood, but i know that a lot of people do crave the taste of blood, and with the question i would think that it would take time to get to the point where you are craving blood really bad...

to me it comes with from over time if someone is working hard at work then the thirst for blood or energy comes more to them then it does if that person didnt have to work it also on the person themselves as different people have different cravings at different time.

I feel it comes in time and I have waited also for that one special person because I feel it should be bonding and intimate, I have been lucky to have finally found that person in my life and I look forward to bleeding with him
as for energy I get that all the time from people and places that I know where it is strongest.

ive been told that when they do drink its only about one ounce or it makes them sick

I think it definitely comes with time, because the first time I tasted someone else's blood, I was a little turned off to be honest.

I think it is 50/50 half of the vampires out their drain energy and the other half drink blood...

I don't think either is something that is NEEDED but WANTED and if a person wants to do such things that they should feel free to do so

For me it was seeing my partner (at the time) bleeding, not much, but just enough it trickled down his lips. It was seeing my friend of old thinly slice his shoulder and the blood tracing his bony collarbone. Since I joined the military, I had to change my ways and instead of blood drinking I have adapted to using people's energy instead. I hope this answers your question.

i drink blood. i use it as a bridge to core energy. thats the only type of energy i can really function on.

my cravings get bad over time usually. i start to really feel it bout three weeks to a month between feedings.

hrm I do not need the blood or the energy...
I find the blood linked to erotica.
um and that's all I'll say on that. grins

I really do not think anyone needs blood or energy, i think that is something that they want to do, mainly because they associate it with being a vampire...

it came to me when i realized of my awakening... i drink blood, not as often as i would like, because it's hard to get a donor, it's not easy ... but i can tell you that a glass is too much... at first is just licking blood... then, the thirst is more intense... and your body asks you for more...

for some it comes right away for others it takes time it depends on the indavidual and how fast the change happens

It all depends on the person, Everyone in life craves something, and at different degrees.

I think my thirst for blood is growing by the minute, and it tastes good.

i think that is some you have to grow into

id say in time this will happen, i totally agree with ravenknight, and also i feel alot of people who craves/needs blood i feel its sychosamatic but not to all, for all who does thirst.. and as for energy, i feel in time to those it will power them

I think that the thirst is cohesive with becoming a vampyre.

Oh, in time, in most cases. I think it takes longer for you to have an actual thirst for blood than it does for you to have a "thirst" for energy.

ive never seen a person drink blood and ive never my self..

I never actually drank someones blood before, although I have tasted some.

I believe that if you don't think about the thirst or distract yourself so you won't think about it, it might disenagrate.

The thirst comes in time but once you have a taste if you don't drink some blood in a good amount of time then it gets stronger and stronger. I know i'm haveing that problem right now i haven't had a drink in 6 months and i grow humgry and weak.

I woukld think if a person is a vampire like they say and once they tasted blood they needed it more and offen but i would think that the taste for blood would have been earlier in life for some people, because almost everyone when they are kids taste their own blood when they get hurt, so would not the craving for blood have been their earlier in life?...

You don't have to drink blood to be a Vampire, that's a mythical interpretation but some do. I do, only with the right donor and it is safe and consenting.

The Hunger, as it were, or Thirst, is something that is always there and yes it does become a bit more over time, yet, always stays about the same so long as you keep up on keeping your energy at its normal levels. So feeding through any means, such as emotions, psi or sang, should be obvserved and kept track of so not to fall into a pit of dispair or the predator as it were.

When you don't keep up on the feeding and let your subtle body go you will notice your hunger become more intense, wanting more. This is because the beast within, the dragon, the lizard brain, is fighting to survive while your subtle body slowly takes energy from your physical body.

You can deal with it, live with it, and learn to manipulate it to the proper degree so not to cause harm to yourself or others, but, you must make sure you have an understanding of who you are and what your predator truely is.

As far as human blood is concerned sucking on my own blood from a paper cut is about as far as I'll go, although I do remember constantly reopening a split lip as a kid, and enjoying the sweet, metallic taste.

Some of this is learned. We're predators, and most of us grew up eating meat. In my natal home, a steak wasn't a steak unless it was bloody.

My dad encouraged me to drink the juice, told me it would make me strong. It did. It also gave me high cholesterol.

Still enjoy the occasional steak, and the blood is delightful.

well i like rare steak,and the blood from liver when its fired.i aske the butcher for extra.and black pudding too.

For some it just comes naturally, but for others it comes with time. Yes, it does get worse and you do crave more as time goes on, but you have build up to increased cravings. Not a day goes by that I don't crave blood, and there are some days where it is worse than others because the thirst is affected by your surroundings and your emotions as well. For some, a small amount of a drop or two, like from a paper cut, to satisfy their thirst for the time being, but for others it takes more. There are many things that affect how much you crave and when you must satisfy that craving, and there really is no way to predict when or how much will be needed when that time arises. Some like the taste, some like the texture, but most crave blood for the energy that it contains. Psychic feedings are just the same, but it is just with a different form of the same energy. As a blood drinker, I hope my input is helpful to all who take the time read and understand what others offer and provide to all. Carpe Noctem

With me it was innate -- ever since I was a little kid -- I was always drawn to blood .

feed the need... if you do not need, you will not feed...

I feel that over time that the need to drink and feed becomes strong over time so your thirst for it increases
