I was told that blood drinking was too risky to do ever.

Ohhh gods OK rant ahead

This us why I fucking hate most kink 'educators' and 'mentors'

A fundamental truth is your own risk tolerance does not define what other people are allowed to do. People are going to do things that make you uncomfortable and if you care about keeping people as safe as you can you have to help them. There's no point saying "just don't do it" that's literally never worked in the history of people. Someone (probably me) is going to take you saying it's impossible or too dangerous as a challenge. We're in the business of risk mitigation here and if you're not willing to help people do what they're going to do then shut the fuck up and sit down, or at least have the guts to say "I don't know" or "that's outside my risk tolerance you'll have to find someone else" Ughhhh! Fuck!

UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Anyway

Not a medical professional of any kind. Also not a lawyer. No formal training at all.

There are absolutely health risks to drinking blood. First pathogens, second your bodies direct reaction to digesting blood.

If you're ingesting blood you need to be aware of the various blood born pathogens that you could catch. So blood checks are a must, might as well just do a full STI check whilst you're at it. If you're broke you can also go donate blood, if your blood can be used in transfusions it can be ingested and the blood place will tell you if that's not the case.

We're also just not adapted to digest blood, we started cooking our food early in our evolution (relatively) so we don't have the right stuff in our stomach to deal with it. So if you drink a significant quantity it will probably lead to a stomach ache plus vomiting and/ or diarrhea.

Also it's very similar to raw meat in the way that it can grow bacteria quickly that can make you very sick.

Finally, it is illegal in many places.

So having said all this if everything is sterilised and you drink directly from a body and that body has been checked for STI's and stuff then the risk very low.

Okay, here's my criticism of this post I keep seeing -- and no, it's not what you think. I know, my longtime followers who know the kinds of things I post about a lot are probably thinking, "Oh, I know what their objection is going to be. It's going to be that 18-19 year olds are adults who can date older partners if they choose to." But no, that's not it this time! Yes, I do believe it's fine for young adults to date older adults if they choose to (and am accordingly rolling my eyes at all the "This should go up to 25!" comments in the notes), but. That's not my issue here. In fact, precisely because I believe that young adults dating older adults is morally neutral, I'm not at all concerned about the efficacy of the messaging against it. My concern is that underage minors being in sexual/romantic relationships with adults is actually harmful and dangerous, and therefore young people actually should be warned against it, and this is not an effective warning.

Fellow old people, do y'all remember being 14? At all? Would you have found this warning effective and compelling at that age?

I for sure would not! I did not! Quite the opposite!

Put yourself in the young person's position here. You have no rights. You're treated as someone with no agency. Your parents, teachers, government, and society as a whole treats you as some combination of "nuisance," "ticking time bomb," and "unthinking blob." Developmentally, you're at a phase of life when you should be transitioning to a more adult role, but everyone around you demonizes you for that desire. All your thoughts, feelings, and opinions are dismissed as the inconsequential ravings of Just A Dumb Kid Who Doesn't Know Any Better. You meet someone who treats you with basic human politeness, tells you that he likes you and that you're mature, actually treats you like you have two brain cells to rub together. Of course you're going to be drawn to him. And then when other adults warn you that obviously of course he doesn't really like you, that's impossible, of course you're not really mature, no one could possibly see you that way; actually you're naive and incapable of making your own decisions, and the way your parents/teachers/society treat you is completely justified. Are you going to heed those warnings?

Why are adults absolutely constitutionally incapable of giving good, necessary advice to teenagers without fucking insulting them in the process? Of course teenagers don't listen to it! Why would anyone??

"Oh, well, of course teenagers don't listen, because they're stubborn, and immature, and biologically determined to make bad decisions, which is all the more reason they need to be controlled," say adults, completely oblivious to the actual problem.

When I was a teenager, the big moral panic at the time was teen pregnancy, and we were all inundated with the least effective cautionary tales in the world: "If you get pregnant as a teen, you'll have to leave your parents' care and function as an adult!" Which left every girl who'd intentionally gotten pregnant for the explicit purpose of escaping her abusive parents saying "Yeah, that was the goal." And every girl who was looking for a way of escaping her abusive parents to think "What a great idea!" Today the big moral panic is older partners, but if the appeal of an older partner is that he treats you like someone capable of making your own decisions, why would you be persuaded by a counterargument of "Don't listen to him, of course you're not capable of making your own decisions!"?

Again. I'm saying this because I agree that adults dating minors is a bad thing and that minors should be warned against it. EFFECTIVELY.

That said, this is my advice to any 17-or-younger person being pursued by an 18+-year-old partner: Listen. You deserve so much better than the way society treats you. You deserve to be taken seriously. You deserve to make your own decisions in life. You have a mind of your own, and people should recognize that instead of treating your pesky "free will" as a personal affront or an inconvenient glitch. You can and should think for yourself. You deserve, and I hope you have, relationships with older people who validate those truths about you. However. You are still legally and materially powerless. I don't have to tell you that. You live it every day. Someone older than you -- and therefore, inherently, legally, more powerful than you -- should not be trying to extract things from you. Money, sex, unpaid labor, anything of value. Someone more powerful than you who truly values you, values your friendship, values you as a person, will be mindful of your status and not try to extract anything from you. Cross-age friendships are good. Older people can and should genuinely like and appreciate you, and you can and should genuinely like and appreciate them. But if they try to extract anything from you, run away.

now. Suffice to say i dont think that relying on the magic 8ball for emotional support is a good idea with good outcomes. but its really funny to hear people be like "people are going to chatgpt instead of a Real Therapist" like a real therapist is basically just a guy lol theyre not that special. do you know how many times ive seen people talk about their therapist like. telling them to go to church, or straight up victim blaming them, or giving them other insnae nonsense advice--i feel like every single person i know who has done a non-neglible amount of therapy has at least one Batshit Insane Therapist story. like at least the magic 8ball cant have you sent to the big torture building if you freak it out too much

It's like the more I talk to someone, the more their perception of me gets ruined and they'll start hating me I don't want that please

damn that's crazy that you're super into reblogging pictures of extremely skinny white girls with bruised knees showing off their thigh gaps while wearing lacy white panties and knee socks... tell me more about your twisted mind kitten. this picture of hello kitty with scratched out eyes over a photograph of a dark abandoned house with red text that says "please stop" and "ouch" over and over again speaks to the twisted deep machinations of your soul babygirl. you are so unique and different. tell me more about your comparatively mild daddy issues and mental problems that you play up to fit into an aesthetic cultural niche

I've been cooped up in the house for so long that it's making me more and more suicidal
