Recently I received the following email from Amy:
I find this site very interesting. I would love to learn more about Vampires. I would also like to actually believe and know they exist. I’m sure you get hundreds of these type of questions but I can’t get Vampires out of my mind. I need to know more. I’m usually a person of science and lately I’ve been thinking maybe I’m wrong? Please help!
This blog is as much about you (the reader) as it is me or vampires. By now you should realise I’m very open about sharing information, so all you need do is ask.
Now before you begin bombarding me with an avalanche of questions…. Have you read Vampires Revealed? It is a virtual treasure trove of vampire information. Have you fully explored the archived articles? These should be your first steps.
Alright, so you’ve read Vampires Revealed and scoured this site, and there are some things you still don’t quite understand and have questions about. This was inevitable. It doesn’t matter how much work I put into it, I am always going to gloss over or forget things entirely.
You see, I am a vampire. So there are many things about being a vampire that I simply don’t notice or take for granted because its just the way it is. Much like if you were trying to explain being human or what life is like in your country. Many things seem passe and we become quite nonchalant when describing them.
So my dear readers, what do you want to know? And remember, there is no such thing as stupid question, only stupid assumptions. You can sumbit your questions here: Contact Bektamun
Before I go I would like to give you a quick update on the progress of Desires Revealed. Nicole has finally decided to be co-operative and is assisting me to narrate the tale. With her help I anticipate it won’t be too long before I can announce a first draft is completed. Stay tuned for details coming soon….
Are All Vampires Sexy?
Eric from TV’s True Blood, played by Alexander Skaarsgard
The simple answer is – NO
TV and movies have done much to perpetuate the notion that all vampires are sexy. According to some, we vampires think more about sex than we do blood. But like most things related to personal taste, sexiness is a very subjective quality.
“One man’s meat is another man’s poison.”
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
“Insert witty proverb here”
As you should be aware by now (and if you’re not, you better read Vampires Revealed fast) vampires emit a subconsious broadcast which makes us appear beautiful to the human eye. Appearing beautiful never hurt anyone, in fact it usually opens a few doors – virtually and literally. Physically beauty in someone of your sexual preference generally leads to a perception of being sexy.
Vampires use their apparent beauty and allure to attract prey. Much easier to feed unnoticed if the victim comes to you. What you must remember is, in most cases, what you are seeing is a deception; a trick on your mind. You must be aware of this and look closer. Better advice is to stop looking and run like Hell.
Quite frankly I am growing increasingly more angry with media portrayal of vampires. Previously we were only ever seen as blood-drinking monsters, now more frequently we are portrayed as sex-machines. The media never get it right.
Below are some of the “sexiest” vampires portrayed in TV and movies, as voted by humans on some ridiculous entertainment website.
