So if you have a blood fetish it means you’re gay? I would think it means you just get turned on by blood. A little unsafe and outside the norm perhaps, but certainly no stranger than being turned on by tentacle porn.

Vampires are sick, psychiatrists assert

Human vampires do exist, according to two Denver psychiatrists, Drs. Richard L. Vanden Bergh and John F. Kelly. Rather than being “the undead,” the vampires are mentally ill. In the Archives of General Psychiatry, the two psychiatrists reported rare cases in which vampirism, or sucking another person’s blood, was part of a pattern of homosexual behavior.

  1. Yes, because if you’re sexually aroused by blood, women must hold no interest whatsoever for you.

  2. For an excellent book about this very subject read “Some of Your Blood” by Theodore Sturgeon.

    (Read anything you can get your hands on by Theodore Sturgeon, for that matter…)

    Cheers

  4. That headline and story is right up there with “AIDS Created by US Government to Stop Vampires!!”

    And yes, Sturgeon is good, he wrote a novelization of the movie “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” that actually made sense!
