Blood - Is it wrong to cut?

[Tiberiusfury]

Ever since I started reading and watching Rosario+Vampire (I've watched the series and reread the manga several times) I've had a little bit of fascination with blood.

This is strange because, as recently as a couple years ago, I was sickened by the sight of it.
Now, I can't help but think if I were Tsukune, I'd want Moka to suck my blood.

I don't consider myself a masochist, and I'm not remotely emo or goth or even otaku. But out of boredom, I've found myself making cuts with my knife on my hands, arms, and upper legs. They're not very deep, but they're usually enough to draw blood.

Is this really strange? Has anyone else developed an interest in blood after reading the series?

[SOSAnimeBoy]

WTF

Dude you need help. If you said you read Hellsing and developed a fetish for blood, I might have nodded and said yeah I understand, but R+V???

[Fain]

I think it is strange...(but I shouldn't say anything cause my behaviour changed over the years a lot. I remember when I was little I was afraid of vampires and such stuff. Nowadays I think vampires are cool. Immortality and eternal youth/beauty would be great... ^^)

About your cutting: I hope you'll stop it cause if you cut too deep you can get ugly scars.

[Tiberiusfury]

I haven't gotten any scars, and I'm not exactly a big fan of pain.
Most of the cuts I've had heal within a couple days.

I just love the blood!

[DucksMcteeth]

Yeah, I've had thoughts of interest towards blood since reading the series, but please refrain from cutting yourself; blood is not a toy. It may seem harmless at first, but trust me on this, it CAN consume you.

If you are really interested in blood, I suggest you study up on it like I have. Teach yourself about bloodtypes, and find out what yours is. Or maybe even do something constructive with your blood like donating it.

Actually, I'm a 3rd year student double majoring in Microbiology and Neurobiology, so I know quite a bit about blood genotypes and phenotypes, and the potential contaminants that can occur from blood contact with other people.

I also tend to clean my keyboards, mice, and knife with alcohol periodically, so I'm pretty safe there.
I don't really mean it to seem like I'm some emotionally wrecked kid cutting myself to get attention or anything like that. It seems silly to me occasionally, this sudden fascination with blood and vampires, but I think it makes life a lot more interesting.

[scorpio moon]

Still, it's safer not to cut. You say now that they heal within a few days because you only make shallow cuts, but if you keep doing it, it'll become a habit, and cut deeper because you're not satisfied with the blood you do see. You could seriously hurt yourself. It's never a good thing to be so fascinated with blood that you're intentionally hurting your body, no matter how minor the damage may be.

[DucksMcteeth]

Hm, you are indeed a rare case :P. Well, since you are obviously educated about it, I can't suggest any way for you to stop this. I can't say I approve of turning your body into a test subject, but as long as it's a clean cut... But still, it might become stressful on your body.

You bring up a very interesting subject. Welcome to the forums BTW. I'm tired, but maybe I'll comment some more tomorrow. ;)

[VenusDoom]

WTF! i have no interest in blood after reading a manga and how can you??? No offence mate but i have never seen or heard anyone have a interest for blood but i can give you some advice "Don't go emo" lol

[MidnightTide]

Yes, I would love moka to suck my blood - that would be epic. But a fascination with blood itself, no (don't get sick over seeing it either, and I have seen lots in my life - ie: saw the aftermath of a woman getting her throat cut, not really a pleasant sight)

If you want to cut yourself, well - whatever rocks your boat.


But back to vampires - if there was female vamps out there, I would be in some serious trouble.

[SOSAnimeBoy]

...saw the aftermath of a woman getting her throat cut, not really a pleasant sight...
Okay, sorry, but you can't say something like that and get away with it. What are you talking about?

[TigersDemon]

dude, if you have an intrest in blood go to a blood bank and watch them draw it from people instead of cutting. srsy.

[kane1]

if he enjoys drinking it and if he dosent cut in the wrong places whats the harm

[TigersDemon]

think about it. it could end up just getting worse and worse till he ends up with permanent damage. srsly. dude. he mever mentioned drinking it!

[MidnightTide]

Read about it in the spoiler, I know kids frequent the forum, and they really don't need to be reading how crappy the world can be.

Ok, was driving downtown (where I live, with my girlfiend in the car) and there was about 10 people surrounding this women - the traffic was slowing down, and I saw a woman lying on the ground - and someone had cut her throat, from ear to ear - blood was all over the place. No one was attempting to help her so I stopped the car (my g/f at the time was a nurse) - I called 911 while she checked her vitals - she was dead (and no, I didn't let my g/f do CPR since there was blood all over the place, and there is a lot of drugs / HIV downtown - and the ambulance was like 2 minute drive away) Heck, someone could have called 911 before I got to the scene - but thats the way some things are these days, no one gets involved.

[kane1]

thats one ****ed up story man not a nice thing to see

[TigersDemon]

at least its more interesting then my area. i live in a boring suburb. nothing happens here.

[LordRichardWellington]

Interesting is not necessarily better.

On the subject of blood and the fascination of it, I too am fascinated and do enjoy the taste of it, especially if it has a lot of iron in it, but cutting your is not good, I've had a friend who has attempted suicide twice. But I also understand that you have heared what I'm saying many a time before.

But to draw blood safely would be best.

Finally, I will say my anti suicide tip that I give my friends if I can't stop them from cutting themselves, "Remember: Across the street, not down the road!"

Nanja korya?! I've always been fascinated with blood, kind of liked the taste and stuff like that but I've never cut myself for the purpose of drawing blood.
R+V ain't even a bloody manga and it's not so very focused on blood either.

1. Stop cutting yourself, atleast if it's alot of cuts and often
2. Start hunting, aloooot of blood when you kill a moose.
3. Get a hobby so you won't become bored and cut yourself
4. Don't care about what we say and do as you want, whatever floats your boat man.
5. Blood is tasty

[VenusDoom]

Blood is blood which is supposed to remain in the body.

also

...R+V ain't even a bloody manga and it's not so very focused on blood either.

It does feature bloody splatters sometimes but that's all. I have to agree with DarkBlood

That's why if it leaks, you drink it.
Hmm, I'm gonna look and see if I can find a very bloody page from Season one. Hmm, mission failed. Too lazy. :p

[DucksMcteeth]

Look at any chapter with the Outcast Ayashi in it Darky, fission mailed.

I've come to my decision that it is not a healthy habit to form, Tiberiusfury. Your circulatory system is a closed one for a reason, and there isn't much more to say.

[DarkBlood]

Ah, indeed, blood it is. Still.. It's not so very much blood. :p

[TigersDemon]

plus you dont want to end up with blood poisoning or something
