I'm just a dude who likes the blood

Sanguinary – that’s how some real vampires call themselves. They were not turned into vampires by other vampires, they do not have eyeteeth, they are not afraid of light and they eat garlic, in other words, they don’t fit the usual profile from the movies and a literature. They drink the blood of other people (donors) but only with their consent. "I do not consider myself fully a vampire, but I can't find a more appropriate synonym. Let's just say: a person with an addiction". This is the story of a man who wished to remain anonymous.

"When I drink blood, I become calmer and more restrained. It's easier for me to concentrate. Everything comes in order in a head. And you feel yourself refreshed. You find your feet again. I see blood consumption as a delicacy. I want to drink blood from time to time. Someone drinks it once in half a year, someone - once a month. I made it once a week, once every two weeks. In fact, I was guided by how well the wound heals. On the forums it is considered I had it too often."
