Drinking blood is actually not bad for you at all unless there is some sort of STD in it or you drink two pints or more of it. And, if the blood doesn't have any diseases or viruses in it, it's not neccessarily bad for you to drink more than two pints. The reason people think it is is because it makes you vomit, and the reason drinking two pints of blood, (and eating a raw heart can do this too), is because of this:

Blood contains a lot of protein in it, and so do fresh hearts, whether they be human, deer, etc. If one were to eat a raw heart or drink two pints or more of blood, human or other, their stomach would over load on protein. Because the body does not know how to handle this mass amount of protein, it rejects it. In other words, you vomit. However, two pints is a lot of blood to drink, and not many people eat raw hearts of any kind except for first time hunters, cannibals, and even some religious denominations, but that's it.

So while drinking blood isn't bad for you, it can just be unsafe. Other than that, i agree, its my life, and if cutting my boyfriend and licking up his trail of blood freaks you out, fuck you. I like it, and so does he.

Sorry if this was boring, i just wanted all the close minded cunts out there to know that drinking blood has no health risks other than the potential contration of an STD, and that's it. While that is a large risk to take, the only blood i would be injesting woule be Nam's and i know that he's clean and safe. I don't feel like lecturing people and telling them that the "it won't happen to me" mentality is bullshit, cuz believe me, if you think that way, it will happen to you!! but i'm not here to lecture, so yeah, that's all i have to say on that."
