With TV shows like 'True Blood,' 'Vampire Diaries,' and 'Twilight' movies and books, vampires and their signature form of sex have sunk their teeth into pop culture in a major way.
"Everything is more intense, more dramatic, and more passionate than what one would normally expect," ABC News quoted writer L.A. Banks, as saying.
"It's a love that can go all night but without the little blue pill," said Banks.
Banks is the author of the 'Vampire Huntress Legends' series, a 12-book saga dripping with erotica of the underworldly sort.
"The biting on the neck has to happen.
"What it does is it makes the sex something exotic and taboo. It makes it terrible and intriguing at the same time," said Banks.
"The suggestion of 'What would happen if,' the curiosity -- the whole thing of the vampire is desire.
"If you have this pining, aching desire, that's part of the draw," said Banks.
Amelia McDonell-Parry, of TheFrisky.com and a self-proclaimed fan of vampire sex said: "There's an S&M, domination aspect that can be kind of violent, but in a mutually willing sort of way.
"It's never slow love making. It's always very crazy, very fast and very ferocious. Occasionally, when two characters are in love, it's more tender. But most of the time, it's not." u00a0
