Is it normal to enjoy the smell and taste of blood?

Maybe you are part Shark

Too many teens using this site.

Blood is delicious.

I love blood. The sight,the smell,the taste. I find it highly erotic.

It sounds like you may have depression, which would cause you to harm yourself to experience the release of endorphins that would give you that relieved or elated feeling.

You may also have an iron deficiency which would cause you to crave the taste of blood which generally tastes of iron. Your cravings often signify your nutritional deficiencies.

I would suggest that you see a professional regarding how to better cope with your stress and possibly begin a vitamin regimen. You sound young and I know the whole vampire thing sounds cool, but unless you have rich parents to schmooze off of, you should probably take care of these problems before you're out on your own. Fantasy ajd roleplay is great and all but learn it's limits now before you embarrass yourself when you get older and have to function.

Too normal .

Maybe you are a vampire.

lol Vampire much?

i actually quite like the taste of blood i have only tried my own and a close friends but i imagine all peoples taste similar. You should be sure why you are cutting to draw blood though, could be a million wrong reasons but if you are just curious learn how to draw blood safely and try it i say we did and we did not turn into flesh craving self harming vampires but yeah think about why first!

My jaw is stronger than my teeth are sharp. If I were to try that, I'd end up hurting myself from the pressure of my bite before my teeth puncture my skin.

Well blood contains iron and salt which Is why I imagine it always tastes metallic. would assume this is why you enjoy the flavor of it I find the taste horrendous but yeah I think it is normal. Also I know what blood tastes like because I have very chapped lips all the time and they always bleed and my front teeth are fake since age 11 I had a accident and broke my front teeth. I add this only because I do not want someone to ask a follow up as to how do you know what blood tastes like?

It tastes bitter.

No, it's not normal. It's called self-injurious behavior. Look it up. Usually caused by depression and anxiety. There are treatments for this.

You may be like me; I have a biting fetish (:

The taste is quite nice sometimes, and that vibrant or deep red is visually appealing to me - so I can get where you're coming from.

However, self-harming out of anger or boredom isn't healthy; it suggests you haven't developed a means of dealing with stress and frustration without resorting to harming yourself.

Self-destructive tendencies can get worse in relation to the amount of pressure you're under, so even if you have control of it now, some seriously bad news or stressful event might come your way and that coping mechanism could manifest as something much more serious than bitemarks on your hand or arm.

So best to try to deal with this when it's a manageable issue :)

The sweet, sweet sanguine?
The wet scarlet breath of life?

I enjoy having it, i never quite get to the smelling and tasting part because i am among the people that can't even really see someone bleed without nervously shifting towards the nearest exit.

Apologies to anyone ever dependent on my First Aid-abilities, i promise i'll try to do my best regardless.

I like the taste but not enough to cut myself. I think that you should see a therapist.

vampire........nah you just need more white blood cells :P if you feel like you breathe better when drinking blood i recommend eating more food with high iron and calcium ! dont forget to iron your clothes too. Now in that case you need more red blood cells wich cant be good. Now to the "enjoyment" of the blood can you tell me what blood group you have ?

you could be vampire & when you crave blood it's so that you can complete your full transition, do you walk in the daylight?
