‘Girls beg me to bite them!’

Tuesday 13 April 2010

Dwayne Marshall doesn’t have fangs, doesn’t sleep in a coffin, and he knows he won’t live forever – but he’s convinced he’s a vampire and even drinks his friends’ blood.

Bizarrely, the 23 year old insists his desire for human blood is a genuine medical illness, even though experts dismiss it as a fetish.

“I’m a normal person with an illness and human blood makes me feel better,” he says.

Worryingly, since the release of the Twilight films and the TV series True Blood, hundreds of teenage girls have contacted him, begging him to sink his teeth into them.

Speaking from his home in California, the novelty lamp salesman says: “Girls think I can turn them into a vampire and they can then live an eternal life, which isn’t true.”

Dwayne was just 15 when he began to think he was a vampire. He says: “When I hit my teens I became very sensitive to the sun – my skin would blister and my eyes would hurt after a few minutes outside. Doctors just told me to wear high SPF lotion and sunglasses.”

He adds: “I also had so little energy it hurt to move and had constant aches and pains. It took a lot out of me to just hang out with my friends, and the doctors couldn’t explain it. Then I read a book on real life vampires and realised that was my problem.

“I discovered real life vampires don’t actually live eternally, die in daylight or burn if they touch silver.”

Bizarrely, he claims: “They are normal people with an energy deficiency and there’s no cure for it. It’s like diabetes, but instead of taking insulin, vampires drink blood.

“I was really freaked out. But I was also relieved to learn something could help – even if it was blood!”

Dwayne then told a 15-year-old classmate called Faye about his discovery and she agreed to let him experiment by drinking her blood.

After being tested for STIs, Faye pricked her neck with a sterilised knife and squeezed out a few drops of blood.

He recalls: “It tasted gross, but after drinking eight tablespoons I felt healthy for the first time in years.”

Dwayne drank Faye’s blood monthly, but when he told his girlfriend, who he refuses to name, she dumped him.

He recalls: “We’d been together two years and I was gutted, but she didn’t believe I’m a vampire. Very few friends have been understanding, too.”real life

Then, in 2005 a teenage girl emailed Dwayne after reading the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, asking him to bite her.

He explains: “She found me on an internet forum for vampires. I didn’t reply, but since the Twilight films I’ve been bombarded with messages from girls offering their blood.”

Now Dwayne, who continues to drink seven tablespoons of blood a month from a donor friend, is dating Courtney Daly, 19, an Australian student he met while she was on
a university exchange in September 2008.

He says: “I’ve told her I’m a vampire, but she understands. She loves me and even lets me drink her blood when she’s in America.”

Courtney confirms: “I don’t mind Dwayne drinking my blood. If anything, the experience brings us closer. I don’t see the problem with it, as long as we do it safely.”

Dwayne, who has never told his parents about his blood drinking, is aware most people think the practice is strange.

He says: “People call me a freak and accuse me of faking my symptoms, but vitamins don’t help. A psychiatrist told me it’s a sexual fetish, but I know it’s not.”

Clinical psychologist Dr Vincent Egan,  who’s based in Leicester, says: “Drinking blood wouldn’t help an energy deficiency. This is a fetish that could cause infection.”

RE: ‘Girls beg me to bite them!’

He's actually iron-deficient, not energy-deficient. Vitamins wouldn't help - only a proper course of supplements or medication. He's drinking blood because his body tells him to - it's a condition called 'pica', or the eating of strange substances. Intrinsically he recognises that other people's blood has the iron that his body needs in a ready-to-use form. Once he changes his diet and gets his anaemia diagnosed and medicated, he'll be ok.

RE: ‘Girls beg me to bite them!’

actually laviana it is not an iron dificiency or pica. most vampires are checked for those things when the need for the blood occurs. i am like Dwayne. i need approximately 5 tablespoons of blood per month to remain healthy. this blood is donated my my Fiancee who knows everything about my condition and still asked me to marry him. most of us eat a very healthy diet and take suppliments, but that in no way helps the cravings or the physical illness that comes of ignoring these cravings. i know Dwayne and i know that his iron levels are normal, and that he has NO cravings for any non food item. please do not assume that everything fits into your own dynamic in this life. there are many things that one can never understand, for now this is one of them. we as vampires do hope that one day what we are will be able to be measured by science. but untill then we accept what we are much as homosexuals accept what they are weather science can measure it or not. but thanks for the time you took in replying. and i wish you well.

Actually, Depontdulac, drinking blood wouldn't help with an iron deficiency, as the human body can't metabolize iron in that form, especially not in human blood. Besides, there isn't enough iron in blood to make a difference in detectable anaemia, especially when the problem is severe enough to cause problems. The sun sensitivity (which isn't defining, but is relatively common in real vampyres) and blistering (much less common) is more representative of porphyria, but it's likely that they tested for that. Blood doesn't work for any of that, though porphyrics do crave the taste.

I and many others disagree with Marshall (or "Zilchy" as he's known in the community) as to the cause of vampyrism. It's not a physical condition, thus why most vampyres are the only ones in their bloodlines. It's not passed through families, and vampyric couples are just as likely (or unlikely) to have vampyric children as mundanes. It's a metaphysical, or spiritual, condition where the vampyre doesn't produce enough energy (think ch'i, ki, life force, or even "spiritual pressure" if you wanna go anime with it) to sustain their bodies (spiritual and physical) properly. These bodies are intertwined inextricably during life, and the damage/incompatiility in one causes problems in the other. It's not directly life threatening, but does cause a decreased immune response which leaves Hungry vampyres susceptible to infection. Blood is a physical medium for the energy vampyres require, which is why it must be fresh because the energy dissipates quickly. Psionic (or psychic) vampyres don't need the medium, being able to draw the energy from people/environments directly. Psis still like to have donors because it is seen as unethical to feed from a person without consent.

RE: ‘Girls beg me to bite them!’

Ack at the multiple posts.... I hate glitches.

And Pet, I'm a psi myself. I'll agree that we do tend to watch what we eat pretty well (D, many vampyres have sensitive stomachs after Awakening, or sometimes before, so our diets are pretty well balanced). I do suffer a mild anaemia (I can't keep my B12 levels up, which also causes anaemia), but I take a supplement daily and I still have issues, It's not a physical condition, though it does exacerbate preexisting problems and causes problems with no physical cause.
