Vampirism is a form of paraphilic condition where a person is attracted to the vampire lifestyle. As a sexual lifestyle, vampirism incorporates ideas and practices from the goth and sadomasochism subcultures. This may involve goth clothing, nocturnal body cycles, blood-letting and consumption, and BDSM play. As a modern movement, its linkages include Bram Stoker's Dracula, which made the vampire scene erotic.
