History Main / KissOfTheVampire

* In ''Film/OnceBitten'', the vampire's bite was accompanied by euphoria and partial amnesia. He couldn't remember much about the prior night.
** She's not biting him in the neck, but on the inner thigh, because it's "closer to the source" (FridgeLogic: The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_saphenous_vein great saphenous vein]], which runs along the inside of the leg, ''is'' the longest vein in the body and fairly close to the surface to boot). This causes problems for his buddies later when looking for a bite mark, because grabbing a fellow student in the shower to closely examine his crotch tends to give one a reputation that's difficult to live down.

* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' plays this literally. When Asahi sees Youko eating a normal lunch and asks about blood-drinking, she calls it sexual harassment; afterwards she explains that to vampires, blood-sucking is an incredibly intimate act, and is actually used in place of the traditional kiss at vampire weddings. [[spoiler:Later chapters reveal that it's actually even ''more'' intimate than that, to the point where after Youko drinks Asahi's blood for the first time, another character compares it to a man taking advantage of a naive girl to bed her. Even later it goes even further than that, revealing that vampires can actually have children as a result of drinking blood, and that in the BadFuture Asahi and Youko had a daughter this way. It's also revealed that Youko was actually unaware of how intimate it really was, as she had asked her father when she was younger, and he was (understandably) uncomfortable with telling her that it was the vampiric equivalent of sex.]]

See OurVampiresAreDifferent. See also VampireBitesSuck for the vampires who don't have the type of consideration shown here. For extra horror, go for ''both.'' I.e., it's bloody, messy, deadly...and you're [[OutWithABang enjoying every second of it.]] If the vampire also gets turned on by feeding on blood, then they're HemoErotic. A person seeking the kiss is likely a VoluntaryVampireVictim.

->"And when she was doing it, I ''liked'' it, Ben. That's the hellish part. I actually had an erection. Can you believe it? If you hadn't been here to pull her off, I would have... would have let her..."

** In ''Series/{{Angel}}'' it’s revealed Darla in particular gets off on being bitten by Angel as seen frequently in the flash backs. When Darla messes with Angel by pretending to be a normal woman under Wolfram & Hart’s orders, Angel made her break her role by biting her neck. Which caused a organismic reaction and turned her back to her usual Darla-personality.

* In the ''Evernight'' series, vampire bites are treated as being very intimate and second-only to sex, provided its consensual. Unwilling participants find the experience pretty awful and that goes for both vampires and humans.

Not to be confused with the 1963 HammerHorror film ''The Kiss of the Vampire''.

Not to be confused with the movie ''Kiss Of The Vampire''.

* Played straight in ''Literature/TheUnitedStatesOfMonsters'' as a vampire bite is apparently so pleasurable that both vampires and humans find it to be one long drawn out orgasm. This notably makes the newly-turned monogamous heterosexual Peter Stone uncomfortable even as other vampires gleefully indulge in it.

* ''Anime/{{Darkstalkers}}'' plays both versions of this with Demitri and Morrigan, the first time is during their initial fight when Demitri (in his [[SuperMode bat-form]]) bites Morrigan's neck which causes her to [[VampireBitesSuck react in pain]] leaving four big bite marks. The second time is when Morrigan finds Demitri after Pyron defeated him, as she approaches Demitri gets up and bites her but this time it becomes sensual with Morrigan reacting in pleasure.

* ''Franchise/{{Hellsing}}'' has very few cases of this, as normally VampireBitesSuck and Alucard's victims tend to have their whole damn throats ripped out once he sinks his fangs in, however when fighting Rip Van Winkle, her death scene [[InterplayofSexandViolence becomes extremely sexual]] as Winkle gets a LuminescentBlush when Alucard [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5vv15KoxB1qklrzno2_500.gif bites her and she starts gasping]].

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' seems to have examples that fit this trope and its flipside, VampireBitesSuck. Vampire bites in the Buffyverse can apparently induce euphoria, addiction or both.

** In season eight, with vampires having become a public fad, there are a lot of humans who get bitten by vampires on purpose. The vampires and humans seem to have established some kind of truce: humans let the vampires bite them, and in return the vampires will leave them alive and only feed off the ones who want to be bitten. The humans gain a rush out of this deal and the vampires a steady food supply. Not all vampires agree with this, however, since they are soulless and inherently evil, and continue killing people.

* The former trope picture was Moka Akashiya of ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'', who gives one of these almost every chapter early on (with a distinctive "kapuchuu~" in the AnimatedAdaptation, personified as a kiss - actually, it's a two-part action, [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud as "kapu" is the sound of a bite and "chu~" is that of a kiss]]), followed by Tsukune Aono not particularly enjoying getting his blood drained. However, he's not particularly harmed either: after the first time, he still has enough energy to run around in a panic.

** Krul literally kisses Mika on the mouth to turn him into a vampire. (Read below)

* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': The light novels describe vampire biting as pleasant for both the vampire and the one they are biting. It explains why [[HoYay Yuu and Mika]] blush when they have their biting scene.

The second time is when Morrigan finds Demitri after Pyron defeated him, as she approaches Demitri gets up and bites her but this time it becomes sensual with Morrigan reacting in pleasure.

** The gonzo [[Anime/{{Hellsing}} anime]] played it completely straight with [[https://sindarfrom.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/hellsing-tv-pic-1.jpg Seras getting into a Draculina]], Alucard gently bites her neck... he even kisses her.

* P.N. Elrod's ''TheVampireFiles'' series does not describe the bite as sexy/euphoric, except to say that the sex is better for Jack if he can drink at the moment of climax. But his girlfriend doesn't seem to mind, so it must feel at least painless to her.

* In yet another case of OurVampiresAreDifferent, Octavia Butler's novel ''Literature/{{Fledgling}}'' uses this trope.
