Donor FAQ
What do you use to get the blood?
It can vary from donor to donor and even the vamp. Some are more comfortable with razorblades while others prefer lancets, or even IV needles, not sure of the proper name for them sorry, most often it is donor choice as you are the one that will be cutting or poking. Most vamps will expect the donor to cut the first time to make sure it is of there own free will and are willing to cut for you afterwards while others prefer the donor does all of the cutting.
What if I feel uncomfortable with the whole situation?
Trust your gut instinct. If it doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t. There are a lot of donors that sadly get abused due to lack of knowledge. They start to allow the vamp to abuse them as a donor by taking too much of there blood. It’s good to become informed before being a donor it is your blood and no one else’s no one can make you give it if you don’t want to. Don’t let them try to talk you into any sort of situation that you feel uncomfortable with set limits before allowing them to take your blood. If everyone is clear on what is expected, wanted and allowed then it should all go through smoothly.
Does it hurt to cut?
No it shouldn’t hurt if it’s done with a clean sharp razorblade, lancet or other sharp thing. Make sure it is also clean and you take care of the wound afterwards. If you are afraid of it hurting and have second thoughts then don’t. No one should regret doing anything if they don’t want to. If it were your first time I’d recommend you controlling the blood letting solely unless you are good friend with the vamp and trust them. If it is done wrong you can get bruising, scaring and infection.
How do I take care of the cut properly?
You take care of it like you would any other cut. Clean it with antiseptic ointment to get all the germs out, bandage it and keep it clean afterwards. If you are worried about scarring vitamin E can help reduce the chance of it scarring. Just treat it the same way you would any other cut keep it clean and sanitary.
What is this bond between Vamp and Donor I hear about?
Well blood letting is a very personal thing. Taking someone’s blood in is like taking a tiny peace of them into you and letting someone take your blood is just as personal as taking it. Some have compared it to the bond you form during sex. It’s like a very close friendship you are giving them something they need so they should respect you and treat you as an equal not there food. I know some that treat their donors as food, I personally would never allow this and neither should anyone else. If they don’t treat you as a close friend, and equal it’s time to call it quits and not give them your blood because no one deserves to be mistreated it’s your blood you don’t have to give it unless you want to.
