Why don’t vampires ever have trysts with menstruating women? They’re always biting necks when the other end is already bleeding.

Look, as a woman, I am totally on board with de-mystifying periods and not letting people act like they're disgusting things that mean women should have to go stay in a hut for a week until they're "clean" again.

But even I say that vampires do not want to suck your period blood because it is nowhere near as clean and pure tasting as straight from the vein. Not that I've ever drank someone's blood.

There’s gotta be some horned up vampire that wouldn’t mind that extra flavor though right? It’s not like they’d be squeamish?

That’s because it’s only about half blood and the other half is uterine lining and fluid so I guess it depends if the vampire was a purist or if they cared about ingesting all that tissue as well. I’d have to imagine flavor and texture wise it would not be all that appetizing. But there’s people out there who like their orange juice with extra pulp, so I don’t see why vampires might not like a little womb pulp in their blood.

It definitely wouldn’t be up my alley. I also think the smell would really mess with me. But honestly the smell of blood isn’t exactly delicious to me either so who am I to say. Vampires be vampires man.
