Her latest admirer is 43-year-old Michael Vachmiel from Houston, Texas, who claims her blood gives him the energy he needs to survive.
The two get together a few times a year to perform the ritual.
Blut said: 'I have always been entranced with the whole vampire culture since I was very young.
'I found a book on vampires in my sister's collection and became completely entranced with it.
'It takes a very specific type of mindset to enjoy being a swan - you have to be more submissive and enjoy giving.'
The pair met two years ago at a Vampire Ball in Houston, Texas.
Blut said: 'You have to have a very strong connection to the person who is feeding off you.

'Michael and I have a very intimate relationship and I trust him completely.'
Unlike the vampires in movies, Blut insists that the process is very clean, safe, and consensual.
She said: 'You have to have a very strong connection to the person who is feeding off you.
'I have specific tools that draw the blood and Michael will drink it from my body.
'The cuts are about an inch long - it doesn't take a very deep cut to draw the blood.'
She uses a razor blade to make a cut and then uses a set of suction cups to draw the blood out.
She said: 'We'll sterilise the area with alcohol and he uses mouth wash before drinking, so it's very clean.
'There are some risks involved, but we do everything we can to keep it as clean as possible.

After making a cut, Blut lays on her stomach and has the blood drawn from her shoulders or back for a few minutes. Pictured are some of the tools used to keep cuts clean.
'I've been doing this for almost thirteen years and I have never had an STD or blood borne illness scare.
'It's a release like any other release people seek - if you're getting something out of it and the drinker is too - then I don't see a problem with it.
'It's a spiritual thing for me - to be able to give energy to someone even if it's a small bit is an extremely liberation feeling.'

She said: 'If you drink too much you do get sick - it doesn't take much blood for Michael to get his energy.'
Michael, 43, started drinking blood at the young age of 13, and does this type of feeding a few times a year.
He said: 'I started drinking blood by accident - it was during an intense sexual act where blood was drawn and touched my lips. At that point it was an awakening.
'Just like a person has a favorite culinary dish, vampires have a favorite spiritual culinary dish.
'There are many ways to get energy, this is a more intimate way and it's a ritual for vampires.
'In doing such, we get the energy we need and the donor has their need to submit, so it's completely consensual.'

For me, I understand the ick factor. Ain't nobody drinking MY blood, and I'm not drinking anyone else's!
Apparently there is no ick factor in it for them. Let adults do what they want to do.
I'm not saying this is something that should be legislated--but that statement in and of itself is silly. MOST laws prevent people from doing what they might otherwise do.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
If you think about all that is ingested during sex, it's really no different from kissing or oral sex.
The ick comes from how it is obtained.
The pain associated with it is part of the arousal.
Some like pinching or rear smacking. Others like cutting or being cut.
And then there are those who do not have actual sex. The act of penetration is done through the skin with the instrument of choice.
The trick is knowing where and how deep.
Don't want to bleed someone out just to catch a nut.

Not it's not. You are comparing drugs to blood. Apples to pork chops...
No. The premise was that consenting adults should be able to do what they want with their bodies--yet you obviously don't want to do so in all cases. Who are you to decide it's ok in one case and not another? A LOT of people are not ok with this--A LOT of other people think we should legalize drugs.

I think this is fine. I'm also for legalizing drugs.
Cutting is a form of self punishment. This is a form of eroticism. Do different than whips and chains...

Well, then at least you are consistent, not everyone is.
As as to the second part, what difference does their motivation make? If they are an adult, it shouldn't matter why they do what they do to their bodies.
