Question:
"Do you think or feel that gender plays a part in the different feeding methods within Vampirism?"
To answer this question, first I believe it is clear that all people
are certainly different in their talents, learned abilities, and what
works for them. Despite our abilities, our environment shapes us
greatly in what energies will work to satisfy the needs of our
vampirism. We all with the vampire condition are forced to adapt to
what is available in our environments. We may find that we have to go
without the energies we can use, only because their sources are not
present.
I believe that it is also clear that there are some differences
between gender in the way we go about accessing energies. These
differences are not so readily noticed or seen but play in with the
context of what makes members of one gender different from another.
It has been my observation that the female sex generally is more
sensitive to their environment especially empathically so with the
emotional energies around them. I believe that this also influences
how they sense and seek energies in regards to their vampirism. In
another regard, it has been my experience that the female sex is more
impacted by these energies, which also affects how they access them
and so their wellbeing.
I do not see a significant difference in the feeding methods employed
by both genders. Apart from the observation that I have had that the
female gender is more empathically inclined, there is as much
diversity among the female population as there is among the male
population. That is to say that I have found that there is as much
pranic, psychic, and elemental feeding among the female sex as there
is among the male sex. This would however make for an interesting
study of this phenomenon. There is no escaping the huge amount of
differences that exist among the energy grabbing abilities and
choices of people with the vampire condition.
I believe in all the years that I have observed the vampiric
condition in myself and others that the one greatest difference and
factor remains these differences that all have in the ability to
access energies and the preference for specific energies. This can be
observed as much in either gender, although differences in the
techniques used to obtain that energy may be seen among the genders.
Hormonal difference certainly affects this, as it affects the
biological makeup of both. Since vampirism is both ability and need
based, there is plenty of room for differences among all. Perhaps in
future studies we will learn if gender truly does play any greater
role.
