Basic Bloodletting

NOTE: This is my personal disclaimer, stating that I am not a medical expert. I am simply listing things that have worked for me in the past, and continue to work for me in keeping myself, and my donors safe. I am also not listing advanced blood letting techniques on here because you should go and take a medical course if you are interested in learning them.

Blood Letting

Problems Regarding Disease

Before we even approach the topic of blood letting techniques, we all must be fully aware of the extremely large numbers blood-borne diseases that are unfortunately spreading all over the globe today. You shouldnt twist your thinking into that you have some kind of vampiric power that will stop you from getting a disease. Before you even consider feeding from someone, you had best consider how long you have known the donor for. A friend that you met a couple of months ago isnt good enough. Your donor should be someone that you trust with your life, because that is exactly what is involved. Even if you trust someone with your life, the risk is always there, so dont take uneccessary risks. Dont brush your teeth or floss before feeding. Dont feed when you have sores on the inside of your mouth. Before feeding, what you would want to do is simply rinse with mouthwash, as this kills a lot of germs, and it doesnt cause bleeding as brushing and flossing usually do.

Finding A Good Place On The Body

For beginners who most likely wont have more formal devices or training in blood withdrawl, blood letting should be taken slowly and treated with much more caution than usual. I would suggest using a new scalpel right out of the package. Scalpels as such can be obtained most reliably at Arts and Crafts supply stores. Sterilize the blade with bleach and then rubbing alcohol, letting it sit in a small container of bleach for about 15 minutes. Do NOT cut any veins or arteries, as you dont need the pint of blood that this will produce, and it is far too dangerous for anyone who hasnt had any medical training. The best places to cut are on the upper back and shoulders, as blood wells up quite nicely from any incisions there, and on the inside of the wrist, taking caution to not cut to deeply, avoiding veins and arteries. The inside of the wrist yeilds a fair amount of blood, and taking it from there can feel quite erotic for the donor and the vampire. The abdomen is also a very good place for beginners to take blood from. While drinking, remember to not suck at the incisions, let the blood pool up a bit, and lap at it with your tongue. Sucking at the cut can cause serious damage to the wound, and this can lead to infection and other complications. Soft sucking is ok and can feel quite soothing, but be very careful as always when doing it. If you cant get scalpel blades, then you can try to use a thouroughly sterelized X-acto knife, preferably a one piece blade.

After The Feeding

Clean out the incision with peroxide and make sure the area around the incision is also cleaned well, reducing any chance of infection. Cover the incision with sterelized gauze right out of the package. If the incision was deep, then place a butterfly wound closure over the incision. Talk to your donor to see what you could have done differently, and if he/she was comfortable with everything that you did during the feeding, as this is important to future feedings with this person.

Legal Note

By having the donor cut themselves and offer the blood, this removes the possibility of assault charges being laid. Trying to explain to a police officer why you have a nice neat incision on you isnt exactly easy or well recieved, no matter if both parties were consenting or not.

Another NOTE: I do have further information on this topic which is not appropriate for a public website, but if you are interested in learning more on advanced techniques and tools, feel free to get in touch with me, and I will help you as much as I can.
