Are Vampires Really Sexy?

Conquering Age Old Stereotypes with Common Sense

Jaipi Sixbear
Do you think vampires are sexy? Waiting for your chance to be ravaged? Harboring fantasies of living forever? Love the taste of blood on your luscious lips? Are vampires really sexy? Let's think about it a bit before you become the next woman of the dark. Just what is it that you think is so sexy about vampires?

Being ravaged by vampires is sexy?
Seriously, I would love to get my hands on the movie producer who first conjured up the idea that women love to be treated like that inane Scarlett O'Hara in the movie "Gone with the Wind". "Oh Rhett, you make me swoon!" Barf-a Rama! Sorry fellas, I have a mind of my own and I like to use it. Sink your teeth in to some brainless idiot, I'm running for the hills!

Having sex with a vampire while he sucks your blood is sexy?
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer not to bleed out while having sex. Kind of puts a damper on the whole experience. Might work for our friend Scarlett who enjoys swooning so much but I'm just not going for it. Besides, I'm thinking you probably pass out prior to the main event anyway, so what's the point? Plus you have those nasty sheets to change in the morning.

Contracting AIDS from vampires is sexy?
Hello, is anyone home? This is the age of AIDS people! How is AIDS contracted? By passing blood or bodily fluids from one person to the next. This happens through transfusion, needle sharing, sex and sucking other peoples blood into your digestive system. Think about it. If vampires do exist, chances are they will all be carrying AIDS.

Do vampires look sexy?
Sorry, but I find a little color appealing in a man. Washed out white with a hint of green and black circles under the eyes is not my idea of sexy. Nor do I find fangs appealing. Particularly when they are about to tear open my neck and suck out my blood. I think it might hurt a little. What do you think? Are vampires still sexy to you?

Living forever as a vampire is sexy?
Oh sure. It sounds great on paper. "I want to live forever." Forget for the moment all the trials in life that make us downright exhausted by the time we reach seventy. What will your eternal life as a sexy vampire be like? Sleeping in a coffin, being chased by pitchfork toting townsfolk, having to depend on sucking necks for survival? I'm claustrophobic, can't run and have trouble swatting flies!

Having a stake plunged through your heart is sexy?
OK now let's cut to the chase. No matter how good of a vampire you are, you will not live forever. How do all vampires die? Well, someone whose loved one they have ravaged and possibly killed finds them sleeping peacefully in their coffin one day and plunges a stake through their heart, grinding and twisting until they are certainly dead beyond argument. Then they explode into the ashes they should have become hundreds of years ago. I don't know about you but that isn't what I have in mind when I say, "I want to go peacefully in my sleep". Being a vampire is not sexy, it's stupid!

    This cracks me up! I've never understood the sex appeal of vampires, either. Pale dead guys that eat people? YUCK!

    It's all Anne Rice's fault. She made Lestat sound so sexy! Personnally, I like men with a little 'life' in them.

    The image of a vampire is typically that of a physically beautiful being, so that's why I think they're sexy. Also, since a vampire is non-human, I don't know that they would be AIDS carriers.

    lol!

    Thanks Jan, My niece read the article and loved it but informed me she still loves vampires. LOL

    I don't get the sexiness of vampires but I know plenty of female friends who practically swoon over the appeal of vampires. I guess I'm out of the loop. Loved the article, though.

  • Jaipi Sixbear 12/31/2009

    LOL Ali

    Hee, this is great! But what REALLY blew my mind is the complete lack of vampire ads anywhere on it, despite the fact that they've been plastered all over everything else. Did you soak your submission in garlic? :)

  • John Smither 12/31/2009

    Fangs for sharing this interesting article.

  • Will Stape 12/30/2009

    LOL - I loved this - and I totally agree. There is definitely an appeal to the image or fantasy of all the vampire trappings you mention, but when you really think logically about it - it, um well SUCKS! ; ) Great work!!
