NOTE*** Article written with FIoura M. and cross posted in RBWU[/i]
There's been a certain male vampire of late who has been preying on the females of one particular blood line. Faced with rejection he simply moves on to the next and the next and the next. Seeking something none of these women are willing to offer.
Playing the 'friend' the 'one you can turn to' he attempts to use their seemingly 'weakness' as a female against them. Deeply mistaken, this male vampire sorely underestimated the strength and bond of the women he attempts to prey on.
This vampire is one of many in the city who jumps from bed to bed, passing themselves around like candy. Thinking they can move up in the world from the flat of their back while not realizing that they are going nowhere but down.
What drives this vampire to try and crawl into the beds of so many men or women? What drives any vampire, male or female, to constantly jump from bed to bed? Risking zeroings, the displeasure of family and the general scorn of the city?

Indeed. Some can't keep it in their pants, whatever the consequences.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting laid, fucking your way through a bloodline or any other prurient pursuit. As long as those involved are consenting what’s the big deal. I don’t happen to be among the slappers of this fine city of ours but if I were inclined to be a whore I’d certainly not give two shits what anyone else thinks about it.
I’d just bloody do it.
The problem as far as I see it are the women who play along and other vampire’s puritanical mindedness.
Self respect is a funny thing and it has no other measure but the stick which you yourself hold it. If he’s a whore and he knows it and doesn’t give a rats ass. Then I’d say his self respect (if it be measured in such a fashion) is as he has always measured it. And who the hell are anyone else to say he is less because of it.
And yes. I’m just taking his side because this article seems one sided to me and doesn’t inform at all and is really just seems to have been published to bash some poor bed jumping bastard about his serial love life.

Candy? This is why there are so many bindings and severances within minutes of each other. This theory. Please don't equate sex with love. They are very different entities when it comes to our kind. Okay, being immortal gives you certain ... wondrous additions to the moralistic or religious driven life you may have led as a human. If you wanna keep the Ten Commandments even after you've turned that's your choice, but this mindset is honestly one of my biggest pet peeves about our fair city. I'm not saying that it's a big orgy fest, but gah...you get with one who you know is a player then you (the general you) freak out when kisses someone else? Or this this case, you push him off cause you know he just wants to nail you and you're surprised that he tries to get in with your sibling? OF COURSE he's doing that. How could you honestly believe he wouldn't? The difference is it doesn't have to be a 'bad' thing. Everything that we do is based on our charisma, our sensuality, our lust...for blood mostly, but also some lust after coin, power, hunters, conquests, etc. Love? Love is more. Love is finding the one who completes you. Who makes you laugh like no one else, and turns you on with his mind as well as his fingertips. You, as an individual and as a VAMPIRE need to figure out what the hell being faithful means to you BEFORE you do anything else. Some think sharing blood is the ultimate intimacy, some think sex, it really doesn't matter as long as you know what it is you want. Many are faithful as a couple yet have a ménage now and then with a ‘friend’, some have open relationships, some swing like the 70s, and some just are with one vampire exclusively. Who cares? Honestly, who gives a shit? Humans do. What drives a vampire to jump from bed to bed? The same thing that drives them to seduce a human in a bar by slowly kissing up their neck before they slide in their fangs. The same thing that causes their body to shiver just inhaling the pheromones of another powerful vampire. You equate monogamy with faithfulness and they are completely different ideals, especially when it comes to our existence. Like this guy you're talking about? The strength and the bond of women? What is that? Is that a support group? You're smarter than that. If you don't wanna bang him, then don't. If you wanna use him for a night of fun, then do. If you want your mate to never talk to anyone else but you, so that you never have to worry that he's flirting? You should probably not get involved with anyone. Know what it is you're comfortable with, and what you're not prior and be honest about it. It's being surprised that is the worst thing, the thing that makes you want to revert to the morals you may have held while human, that knee jerk reaction to equate that life with this unlife. Here we kill for pleasure, we steal, we fuck, and we fight. It's a part of your make-up, and there's no reason to apologize for it. If you're just itching to holy water him? Do it because he's a lying dick, not because he's trying to use his...

My morals are my own. Blame it on me being recently changed, pushing away the instincts of our kind, or simply being young and naïve. I have my one partner whom I care for deeply. If he strays it is his choice, even if it would hurt me deeply; just as much as it is my choice to remain faithful.
Lust and power drive many of the elders, and it is understandable for the reasoning. Power dictates how well your line will flourish, power in wealth, in blood, and even in seduction. Our network of contacts and reputations dictate where we stand socially in our unlives. Marry into a powerful family, or a prominent vampire and suddenly your standing has changed.
If the family he is trying to wiggle his way into is powerful then it is very understandable. He is working on gathering that power. However, it is the woman’s fault for getting offended if she overlooks all his past signs and then is huffy when he repeats history. Urban myth there ladies “Shoes don’t stretch and men don’t change” Until he is good and ready he is going to work his way through the line until he can secure a place.
Angry at him? It is understandable, but it takes two to tango. In all honesty I think there is much more going on behind the scenes than what we are lead to see. On the other hand, some men are ruled by that little toddler in their pants….

I know 'his' side. I still think man-whoring/whoring in general is well.... asking for trouble. especially if you seek married clientele.

Ya, it is one thing if the clientele are single rather another if they are married. Husband's don't take too well to wives being seduced by other men...

These wives don't know how to say no? Their binding means so little to them that they fall for the first sweet words uttered their way? It takes two to tango.

I know it takes two to tango...Even if the wife says no I doubt their husband is going to take it too kindly. As for the ones who can't keep the faith, well we know how the divorce rate in our city goes.

Yeah, I'm in favour of the two to tango answer... I mean dogs pee on human's shoes, it's their nature, but only some wait until the dog has finished. A girl wishing to bed me would most probably get a slap in the face in stead of an acceptance (except if it were Ophy of course ;-) )
Only the gullible are gulled. Whores are whores, it's their nature... He who is bound must make sure he keeps the bond tight and does not leae room for anyone to split it. I mean, I'd bet all my money that noone can go between Torch and Boomer.
Whoring vampires are an annnoyance, like dogs and whores on your doorstep, but they are no real danger to the really wise.

It takes two to tango, but only one to start the music.
*shrug*
But yeah, I agree. If their bonds mattered all that much, they should have been able to say no.
