I partook in some intense acts when I was in vanilla relationships and thought that BDSM was all about chains and leather and fashion. It never occurred to me that what we did was kinky or taboo, just… thinking outside the box, if you will.
The same vanilla lover that was my first fisting partner was also quite preoccupied with vampires. One day she confessed that she fantasized about being fed upon, to have her blood sucked from her, and she asked if I would be willing to explore that with her.
I thought it was a little out there, but it was something near and dear to her and she had taken a huge risk confessing that to me, so I went at it with gusto. Little did I realize how profound that act would turn out to be.
We made a womb for ourselves; a dark, warm room with candles and soft music. I numbed her breast just left of her left breast, close to her heart for symbolism, using an ice cube and then I cut her with a razor blade. I laid down in her lap and she wrapped her arms around me and I nursed her blood from her breast.
At first I thought it was romantic but the emotional impact of the connection and the intimacy of nursing and taking her blood hit me like a steamroller as it was happening.
It was more than sex. It was more than even making love. It was one of the most profound spiritual experiences either of us had ever had. I remember it vividly to this day and I remember the thought that entered my mind:
I am drinking her soul.
There were no leather or whips or chains involved, so I never thought of it as anything kinky. I was quite surprised when I finally learned more about the community that they were talking about the things I took for granted as something that belonged to them. Spanking was one of those things, and fisting was another.
One of my dearest friends, sushi_wa, once said that my writing has a vampirical quality to it. I can see where she got that because I am enamored with the metaphors of feeding from my victim, or nursing from her. It is because that is very much how it feels, even though it is emotional feeding.
Drinking my lover’s milk was an incredible feeling as well; taking physical nourishment from her while while at the same time feeding from her, emotionally.
I hear that some men find lactation a turn-off or even repulsive. I cannot understand that. Giving of herself and off herself is one of the ultimate feminine qualities; how can you not be attracted to every single expression of her femininity? Especially one that incredibly magical?
Of course, fucking her while drinking her milk is just plain hot. There are no poetic descriptions I can think of to make that justice. It is just freaking sexy. And when you just play with her breasts and your palms come off all wet, or when she’s riding you and you reach up to hold and squeeze her breasts and milk trickle down your forearms, or when she leans forward and grazes her nipples to your chest and leaves wet trails behind. Or how she always smells sweetly of milk. Yeah, it’s pretty neat.
There was just one drawback with it for me, though; I’m mildly lactose intolerant. Sigh. I can have a cup of ice cream or a cream-based dessert per day without problems, but if I have more than that I need to take a Lactaid to help out. A woman’s milk has a very high concentration of lactose (apparently it helps with brain development) so it hit me pretty hard and I didn’t always want to stop to chew a pill as a gastronomic prophylactic of sorts.
The act of drinking her blood and drinking her milk underlines how important the one that surrenders is. It is inside her that it all happens and it is from her that everything comes. She’s the giver and she’s the one offering herself on the sacrificial altar of your desire to be consumed.
But it’s not about being consumed, per se; it’s about giving. About giving of herself. Of relinquishing herself and through that, bathing in her own inner radiance. In peace.
It is a two-way street. It is not just about tending to her needs and releasing the pressure to ease her urgency. She needs it to happen with meaning. She needs to be devoured, to be taken, to be used. She needs the one who releases her, who gives her wings, who brings her home, to need her as much as she needs him.
She needs him to find his own salvation and redemption in her surrender.
It is as if her breasts are engorged and filled to the breaking point, aching, antsy to be released. Lactation is a perfect physical metaphor for that state of mind. Yet she cannot release the pressure herself. And even more than a release, she needs to give. She needs to one who releases the pressure to see her, and find nourishment in everything she has to give.
He cannot just release the pressure and leave it streaming into the void, hitting the ground; she needs him to cherish what she gives as much as he cherishes her, and she needs him to starve for what she gives as much as she is aching to release what she has to give.
I seem to be rambling here a bit, so I will continue on the same path. The topic of feeding and drinking and vampires makes me remember a dream I had a long time ago, when the spider was in my life.
In my dream I was making love to (or fucking; I am not sure) a female vampire. She was powerful and looked a little like Lady Heather from CSI. She was riding me while I was laying there passive. For some reason it was important that she got what she needed from me or else something terrible would happen to her. In my dream-logic, she needed me to pour myself into her.
In the end, she had ridden me to climax and the moment of the dream that I keep remembering is that she latched on to my throat and drank from me at the same time as I was pumping my seed into her body, filling her and sating her in a way that neither of the acts could do by itself.
I remember once writing a piece about biting and puncturing the skin of a milk-engorged breast and drinking her blood-laced milk. I suppose that was my turning the tables on my vampire dream.
That piece was lost along with hundreds of haikus and many other writings several years ago. I have tried in vain to recreate it, but my creative writing is primarily a stream of consciousness, a process that does not lend itself to recreation, really. I hardly even proofread the stuff I write.
And now I think I am done rambling…

You talk about things that make me insane. I feel as if you live inside me and you tell my secrets.
Those are not just your secrets, my dear friend; they are mine, too. And I talk about things that make me insane. Talking about them is the only way for me to have those things validated by people, like you, who I have come to respect.
