About Damien Daville
Greetings..
I am a 48 year old primarily empathic vampire now living near the Austin area of
Texas in the States. I also like elemental sources and am a sanguine vampire
with the right donor. I first learned of my vampirism as a teen in high school
around 1970, and have developed its needs and abilities ever since. I have
worked in some way helping others understand real vampirism for about thirty
years. I came to the internet about 1995 and worked online in the few vamp
forums around. I founded the Darkfear Network in early 1997 and then the
Vampire Church in 1998. I also founded Web Alliance. In 2001 I founded the Texas
Vampire Association to better bring real vampires together in the State of
Texas. I spend most of my time now working in the offline vampire community and
in the public helping other
people to understand real vampirism. The Vampire Church is active both online
and offline.

Question: What is it that we as individuals need from another in order to
keep that even keel? How successful have you been in finding just that right
kind of relationship/s? If you have not been able to
yet find that kind of relationship, what are the difficulties that you have had
to confront and why? If you have that perfect blend, do
you think it is something that you will continue to have, or do you
think things may change?
Greetings..
Real vampires as they know have distinct needs that are greater than
those of other people. This of couse makes for greater difficulty in
searching for meaningful relationships in both friendships and mates.
This then often creates discord and disharmony between vampires and
other people. I have been quite particular in choosing my
relationships in both friendships and mates. I am a strong empathic
vampire with sanguine needs as well and I have found that I often can
easily clash with other vampires unless the other vampire has learned
to control feeding energy. The problem that exists between intimate
relationships among real vampires is the need for balance in feeding
energies. This is a difficult thing to achieve and can only be done
with control and balance. I have had good and bad relationships in
this regard and have found that some of my best relationships have
been with non-vampires. Despite the energy control I have I do find
that my intensity and passion can clash with others with the same
level of intensity and passion, i.e. that is why control is so
important, not that it is an end all, but for success it must be
measured over more time than with too large a burst at any given time.
The other issue is that you as a vampire seek intense bursts of
passion and then hope that the other person can both deal and accept
that level of energy given and taken. I do not know if I will ever
find the intimate relationship I want and am content with, I am
doubtful of that thus far in my life and I am reluctant to continue
accepting anything less than that. I can easily exist healthfully as
primarily an empathic vampire and for me that has been my life with
or without a sanguine donor for a relationship.
Dark regards..
