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.
