If you could, would you?

With all you know about vampires, would you allow yourself to be bitten?

I would.

Uh... no.  It always annoyed me as a kid that people saw it as something sexual, when it just looked that way a little bit.... maybe like "necking".   Actually, you get tired, weak, and needy.    Now I can see, though, that the feelings overlap with romantic ones to some extent.... if one's romantic feelings veer toward submissiveness.    Then again, you get to go on evil missions for the vampire against innocents, which can be fun... vampire victims don't have to be passive all the time.     Anyway, I guess I can see the attraction in being totally swept up in something... but the victim never really gets satisfied, does she/he?   

Is it the self-destructive aspect that might be attractive?

When I imagine Megan Todd the vampire, I find I'm considering it.    Sign me up, but first I'm going to get a job at the blood bank.

It's often part of the vampire mythology that the experience of being bitten is akin to experiencing an intense orgasm - hence the eye fluttering and expressions of extreme ecstasy on the victims' faces. And, well, some people will take an orgasm any way and anyhow they can get one.  [ghost_wink]

Is that all from after the time of DS or later, modern "mythology", or is that in novels of films from decades before the 60s?    I know DS wasn't alone in this, but I always thought that before my lifetime the sexual element wasn't there.

I'm going with what Mysterious Benefactor's reasoning is on this one [ghost_wink]

Stoker's novel featured some pretty steamy stuff, the scene when Harker is aroused from his nap by Drac's vampire brides comes to mind.

In answer to the original question: Hell No.

There are those that say that the vampire's kiss is very symbolic of the sex act from the penetration to the sharing of life giving fluid. I can understand it but I don't know if I believe that it was intended to be that way in the beginning.

I've had nightmares about vampires going all the way back to when I first saw Lugosi's Dracula.  So no way would I.

Well, if I were to be bitten to become a slave, my answer is no.

And I have to think if I want to go around biting people and maybe killing them.

But I can get behind that whole slave, submissive thing.

N. O. I don't care if she's the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen in my entire life. I ain't doin' it.

On the subject of vampire bites = sex, I always found it interesting how the writers would claim things like, "Oh, it was sex, you know, the male vampires bit females and the females bit males," but that wasn't exactly true, unless Barnabas had a real thing going for Willie and Nathan Forbes, both of which he could have simply drained instead of turning them into thralls.
