Why Does Blood Taste So Good?

kida · February 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">this may sound inhumane</div> I cut myself with a knife and found it irresistably attractive to suck out the dark blood that came out along the front and back of my ring finger. As I did, I felt a feeling that tastes like none other. It tasted good and I kept on sucking...I really don't know why, but I had the slight curiosity....Like they say, curiosity killed the cat...Anyways, don't think I am a cannibal.

So what do you make of it?

Either you're a vampire, or you have a large amount of sugar in your blood. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Blood is rather sweet, depending on what you've eaten it may become very sugary and taste quite good (or, at least, that is my experience), but from what you've said that just sounds like vamp talk to me. Nothin weird about that (at least where I come from).

Sry, Sry, your mistaken.

I didn't cut myself, I accidentally did it...

Its an instinctual reaction.

The sucking of a wound is in effect an attempt to remove debris from the wound, limiting the risk of infection.

You like it because you are supposed to like it.

Ques dramatic music *looks around*

kida · February 2004

Evidently, Rooke did. He must have thought that I suck on blood as if it were a bottle of wine. Not saying that he specifically said that, I just want to clarify to people, who might be thinking that I love blood, that I don't.

But it sure does taste good for probably the reasons mentioned above.

EDIT: Its funny that some people think they are vampires.

I'd consider that okay as long as you have their permission..and you're not cutting arteries or anything.

Actually on topic, the most blood I taste is usually from bloody noses, which...doesn't taste good at all, it's incredibly iron-y and copperish, and usually involves me spitting because with a bloody nose there's lots of mucus in there.

If I accidently cut my finger or something, than it's fine to lick it, because as stated before (indirectly) saliva is a good cleaning agent, and blood by itself isn't overly bad.

There's no way I could stand to drink it though, it just doesn't taste good as a food like that. I'd rather eat so many foods than blood <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> .

lol I thought you purposely cut yourself too, glad you cleared it up, it was getting a little ooky...

blood DOES taste yummy. whenever I accidentally bite my cheek (GOD I hate that), that's the one good thing that comes of it... so sweet and salty and tangy... must be the carnivore in me calling (I'm a vegetarian)...

you freaks...

TommyVercetti · February 2004

Mine never tastes good. That's probably why the mosquitoes and Skulks avoid me. Seriously.

I do like rare meat, though I haven't eaten any recently thanks to trichinosis (sp?), mad cow disease, and the H5 "Chicken Flu."

Mullet · February 2004

ahhhhhhh, I HATE the taste of blood. I think the only blood that's been in my mouth/throat was from a bloody nose. Anyways, it makes me gag the instant I get the taste, I HAAATTEEE it! I've puked while having a bloody nose once.....taste of blood = poo

Smoke_Nova · February 2004

You wouldn't want to suck clean a wound if blood tasted like dirt, would you?

Not like bloody nose bleeding, that's full of boogers.

Like when you cut your arm or finger.

Does a bloody nose taste different compared to a cut?

Have you read Interview with the Vampire? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Anyways, I find my blood tastes kinda metallic.

If I was a vampire I wouldn't kill people, I'd just convert them. Having a standing army and being a little thirsty is way better than being a lone vampire.

A bloddy nose has lots of bacteria and mucus (which, besides being unhealthy, and possibly full of disease - since the main point of your nose is air filtration - dilutes the blood and fills it with gross globs...it's really disgusting. Not to be gross but, if I have a bloody nose I can feel a giant lugey going back by throat and I hack until I can spit it out, because it tastes horrible and it's bad for you.

If you get a cut on your finger, sort of suck on your finger. It cleans it and for me, whether mental or physical, is a mild anesthetic - as I said before, you can eat much better tasting things that are better for you than blood.

If I was a vampire, I'd convert Kate Beckinsale into a vampire (like how she looked like in Underground.) Then I'd marry her and we could make little vampire children!!

PS. Ms Kate beckinsale....if your reading this, please marry me K THNX bai!

I thought it was always good to suck your blood and get spit on it because of enzymes. Oh well, I do it to but I don't do it for the taste of it, just because I don't want an infection. It's my own blood so I'm not squemish over it or anything. But if you enjoy the taste of it and purposely bleed to drink it, you have problems.

Last · February 2004

I've tasted my blood, and it tastes like lead, kinda like those water fountains with rusty pipes. I've never known my blood to be sweet... but you never know :\.

Testament · February 2004

I like the taste of blood, too.

People have their fetishes.

Who are you to say that they are immoral, unethical, disgusting, wrong?

As long as they are willing, consenting, they're [individually or if they do it in groups...] not hurting or affecting anyone else, and it's legal, then it's fine by me.

Just don't come along and force blood down my throat, or cut me, and I'm happy for you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

[This is only for one or two specific posts...]
