I have always been into biting, ever since the very first time Number One bit me hard on my right shoulder/neck area* and I moaned really loud because it felt so good. And I like to bite back. As far as sexual fetishes go, it's very, very tame. This summer, however, I realized another thing about myself: I have a vampire fetish. That was a harder thing to accept. I went for a week or two watching nothing but vampire movies and anime, getting incredibly turned on by fangs and biting and blood. My Tumblr page was all vampires and fangs and blood. I would get so worked up I'd masturbate at least once a day. I tried telling myself I was just really horny; after all, I was newly single.
The hardest part of the vampire fetish to reconcile was the blood. I could accept biting and fangs, but I had such a hard time with the blood. I didn't want to drink anyone's blood, and I certainly didn't want to be bitten to the point of bleeding. Blood exchange is risky. So where do we go from there? I would occasionally get filled with that blood lust, and it made me uncomfortable. I mean, a normal person doesn't crave blood in a sexual way, right? Thank god for Tumblr, honestly. I could look at aesthetically pleasing images of mouths, fingers, fangs dripping blood and it helped, immensely. It's such a hard thing to explain, how arousing it is, how satisfying even seeing fake blood was.
This is why I love the Internet. The Internet gives me a safe outlet to explore my sexuality, especially with what can be considered more "deviant" desires like vampirism and blood. I can satisfy my blood lust without actual harm, transmission of fluids, or risk of disease. And, as I've seen elsewhere, I'm not the only one with a vampire fetish. It's comforting.
*That's my favorite place to be bitten due to an old injury that has left the muscles kind of fucked up in that area. I make sure all partners know exactly where to bite me now. :)
