Sanguinarian VS. Blood Fetishism
Sanguinarians also known as 'blood drinkers' take in the blood of others because they
lack the correct amount of life
energy to keep them balanced, as do any true vampire.  A
small amount of blood is all that is needed to satisfy and correct that imbalance.  I will
explain why only a small amount of blood is needed.  The blood acts as a vessel, it
carries the life energy in it's purest form.  Unlike like other means of feeding, such as
elemental, psy, empathic, etc.  It isn't the blood itself that is important, it's the energy it
holds.  A large amount of blood is not necessary, taking in too much blood not only can
make a person sick, but it also has side effects and are almost similar to not having
enough energy.  Varying from restlessness, fatigue, mood swings, migraines to mild
headaches and even anxiety.  These symptoms can also be from underlying medical
problems.
A blood fetish, is best described as an erotic attraction or a sudden desire for blood.  
There is no need to take the energy from it.  The smell, taste, sight, and even mention of
this ruddy fluid can make a person with this fetish aroused in various manners  A
sanguine vampire can have a blood fetish, why not?  A person can have both.  The one
significant difference is the sanguine needs to take in the energy from the blood while a
blood fetishist does not.  A person with a blood fetish may feel a rush when they see,
smell or taste blood but that is the not the same sensation a vampire feels when they take
the blood in.  I have known some Sangs that do not like the taste of blood.
Biting is not recommended when taking blood from a donor.  It is painful and leaves
nasty scars.  The use of a sterile blade, away from major veins and arteries, used
carefully is not only common sense but recommended.  If you've never cut a donor
before, try it on yourself before you do.  Using a lancet like those a person with diabetes
uses is also fine.  I do not recommend keeping the blood in anything for a prolonged
period of time.  Bacteria grows in it, and the energy is also lost.  No ritual is going to
bring that same energy back into the blood.  Animal blood has also been used by sangs,
but I don't recommend this either.  Animals also carry diseases.
On the topic of animal blood, we have had numerous people stating they use animal
blood to feed from.  This cannot be stressed enough that animal blood is dead blood;
therefor little or no energy is there to feed from.
Also taking blood from yourself gives you nothing.  A vampire is already lacking in the
energy department, so taking your own blood is not a benefit.  You may feel a rush of
sorts and that very well could be the dopamine or adrenaline in your system kicking in.  
This is not the same as the "vampiric high" we get from feeding.
Please be aware AIDS and other diseases are still out there.  If you are a donor or feeding, make sure
your donor and yourself have been tested.  Make sure you know your donor.  This is not a game, we
are not immortal, that would be the spirit/soul that is immortal, the body still dies.  It takes only one
mistake to screw up your life or another's.  Below are some links to inform you.
