Can Vampires have children?

Question

Can Vampires have children?
Can they even have...um...can they get "close"?

Answer 1

Yes, if they bleed a human child, though not advisable.

This practice would be considered taboo as vampires feel a certain pleasure each time they bleed their victims.

It would also become a burden or curse. Vampires can not age. To survive in any society, a child would for need to depend on an adult for an eternity. To raise a child for eighteen years is one thing but to care for a child for an eternity is something else entirely.

Answer 2

OK, we'll just assume that you're talking about the fictitious variety. That depends on the storyteller. Since it's all made up anyway, the writer can change the little rules like that. More often than not, no, male vampires cannot impregnate female vampires or mortal women, and female vampires cannot be impregnated by a mortal man. A big part of the vampire theme is 'living death', and creating new life is pretty contrary to that. The way vampires make more vampires is by biting people.

The only way I could see a vampire giving birth is if a woman were turned into a vampire while pregnant. The only vampire story I can think of where that happened is Blade (the movie, the comic book went a little differently). And when he was born, Blade wasn't exactly a vampire. I'm not a big fan of vampires in the first place, but Blade is particularly lame.

The only vampire stories that I know of that deal with vampire sexuality are the Anne Rice books. I never read these (remember, I don't like vampires), but the word on the street is that she portrayed the whole biting thing as a sort of replacement for sexuality. The vampires didn't want sex the same way that they didn't want to eat. Sucking people's blood really replaced eating and sex. This goes back to the 'living death' theme. Eating and sex are enjoyable, and in their own way, celebrations of life. I would imagine that both would seem pretty distasteful to vampires.

So, if I were writing a vampire story (which I wouldn't, because I don't like them), no, they wouldn't have sex or babies. Pregnant women who got turned into vampires would either have a still born child, or, maybe if I was feeling wacky, Dick Cheney or some other kind of soulless monster.

Answer 3

Science has yet to prove the existence of vampires. Based on that fact alone, the child of something that doesn't exist well...doesn't exist.

In mythology of the Roma people of the Balkens, there's a small reference to the "dhampyr," a half-human, half-vampire creature. As I recall, they may or may not have supernatural talents, but are almost universal thought to have the ability to see and destroy (or drive off) vampires.

They are born exclusively by a vampire having sex with a human, though most believe that only a vampire male and a human female will produce a dhampyr, as the vampire female physiology and biochemistry could not support a baby because, in all versions of the vampire mythos, the body dies when the person becomes a vampire.

If you're talking about a certain fantasy setting (such as for a book or role playing game), that would depend on the creator/storyteller/whatever.

Answer 4

I can see you have not watch very many shows or movies about vampires. You must not have read many books on them either. According to movies yes they can. In most movies though the babies are call bats or close to it. they are half and half changing from bat to human at times by

Answer 5

i presumed they have been noted as an 'Incubus' or something like that? yet i think of the female must be a human, with the aid of fact femal vampire bodies do not replace =/? And subsequently can not get a bump or something like that?

Answer 6

Applying logic to the illogical, no.
The vampire system would internalize, feeding off whatever life was trying to begin.

Answer 7

Uh huh, yeah, sure. If Vampires do exist, which they don't, then there is nothing stopping them from having children.

Answer 8

No they only way that that is every possible is if they bite a child and then raise it as there own. Like a baby because they age different then us

Answer 9

I don't know I gonna go have sex with one while I am ovulating and see. Really though the answer would be no because they don't exist. They are not real.

Answer 10

It depends on which movie or book you are watching or reading.
