Okay, so teens are now taking after the Twighlight series and there is a rise in biting to draw blood. This is a new way to show affection. I heard this on the news about how parents should talk to their kids about biting. Call me crazy, but I learned not to bite when I was about 2. What do you all think?

I think that biting one another is really stupid and that kissing is enough. I'm really mean so if my bf bit me he's going down!

I think it's inappropriate past toddler age. I took a self defense workshop with a local policewoman, and she actually said if possible to avoid biting, as some folks have problems like scabies that I guess can be transmitted by saliva.

One of Dr. Jan Garavaglia, M E's, most oddball cases involved a woman who received a bite inside her mouth from her date. She suspected her flulike symptoms came from that date, and turned out to be right...but not with flu. He actually spread to her Herpes Simplex I, which most normal immune systems can contain, but for whatever reason, this young woman's immune system couldn't (Dr G had her HIV tested for this reason and the test was negative), and it killed her, literally ravaging her entire body.

Only if she's sexy. Anyone else that bites me will get slapped. If their male I'll use my feet and fist. Lol

call me crazy, but I would have no problem doing that for a girl if she asked, might even enjoy it, I see no problem with it, though I wouldn't exactly bring it up were she not interested in it.

Post 7 by forereel (Just posting.) on Monday, 12-Jul-2010 23:19:18

It's not biting in a sexual way, but for defince, or out of anger this board is about I think. In a sexual way sure, but like I said only if she's sexy to me. Lol

Even in a sexual way, it's creepy. A little nibble as though for pleasure, maybe...but biting, actually biting so that there are abrasions? No ... just no. Different things for different people I guess, but the fact that this is suddenly in the news at all tells me it's getting just wierd.

I'm talking about really breaking the skin to show affection. This story isn't about a hickey...really biting down and causing blood to flow.

Post 10 by AgateRain (Believe it or not, everything on me and about me is real!) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 1:35:09

Not even if the girl is sexy is that appropriate and why the hell do you want to get bit to where you bleed, verses a kiss with you just feel good and connected? That's really crazy.

At least I think kisses are good...

Post 11 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 13:53:25

I understand that people get off on pain but that is going to far.

Post 12 by Miss M (move over school!) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 16:11:38

Wait. Hold up a second. You're going too fast. You mean the latest generation of teenagers is doing something shocking and inappropriate that the older generations don't agree with? Oh goodness, whatever shall we... do.

Post 13 by DevilishAnthony (Just go on and agree with me. You know you want to.) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 20:10:34

Well, as they say.... "All teeth and enthusiasm!" LOL

Post 14 by AgateRain (Believe it or not, everything on me and about me is real!) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 20:34:23

What the hell? Anthony where did you get that one from?

Post 15 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 21:01:19

Wow to all this. I have no comment, except that once I was actually bit in a fight when I was about sixteen. I just smacked him around a bit more and wrote it off as the guy being a pussy but now with Spongebob's comments I can see why the coaches were so reactive about it, I'd never cleaned a single wound so much in my life, I almost took it as a bit of a production. Frankly I was a bit embarrassed at having been bitten. Punched, sure, kicked other normal stuff boys get themselves into, but when taken aside and made to show two people the bite marks, I was actually rather humiliated. To my thinking at the time, it was only a little blood, and no teenage boy wants to admit to being bit in a fight, let alone have to show it. If Spongebob is right, I guess I shoulda been grateful instead. Who'da thought I'd find out twenty plus years later. Crazy.
I guess as to the kids getting themselves into it, so long as they know what they're getting into I guess. Somehow I doubt it happens as often as some would sensationalize. People kid around about all sorts of things they wouldn't actually do, when push came to shove.

Damn, haven't heard this one before. Biting in the heat of passion can be fun, but certainly not hard enough to draw blood! Yuck! And biting to show affection? Even weirder. Um, to each their own, I guess, so long as it's done with the other party's consent. I think it's sick myself, but whatever. that, and there really isn't all that much biting for affection in the Twilight books anyway. Odd.

Post 17 by forereel (Just posting.) on Tuesday, 13-Jul-2010 23:47:09

Well drawing blood I'll have to back peddle and say nope. A light bite, nip sure, but drawing blood? I think this craze is because of all the van pire stuff out their now, so it will pass just like anything else. I hope so before some girl bites me to hard. Lol

Nope, you deserve it. jk

Whatever floats your boat I guess. :)

I saw that episode of Dr. G. That's so scary. Good Lord, what next ...

Post 21 by Remy (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Friday, 16-Jul-2010 23:30:28

Great. Next thing you know they'll be biting each other's penises and calling them tootsy rolls. People amuse me, even as i shutter and enjoy my absolutely wonderful married sex life.

Post 22 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Sunday, 18-Jul-2010 0:09:47

Just so you know Forereal, it's Vampire, not Van Pire. LOL. As for the biting thing I actually had a girlfriend last year who wanted me to do that to her. I need hardly say that I found that extremely creepy if not outright disturbing. Then again she believed she was a Vampire and apparently had since before Twilight.

Post 23 by forereel (Just posting.) on Monday, 19-Jul-2010 0:09:59

Well I try not to keep current on such things as Vanpires, or Van Pires, or people that want to bite me tell I bleed so excuse me. Now if she just want to bite a bit for pleasure fine, no blood please. If the girls believes she's a "Vanpire" run. Lol

Post 24 by DevilishAnthony (Just go on and agree with me. You know you want to.) on Monday, 19-Jul-2010 5:05:42

I've been up all night, so guess I'm a vampire. Hmmm, who to bite first...

Post 25 by Damia (I'm oppinionated deal with it.) on Tuesday, 20-Jul-2010 3:20:24

I'm just picturing this ok
"Sweety I want to take our relationship to the next level."
"Really baby tell me where you want me."
"I want you to make me bleed I want to share my blood with you."
"Baby don't you think that's moving a bit fast?"
"No baby bight me and show me that you love me."
well I half snicker and half want to vomet let me leave by asking...
if she does bight his tootsy roll and accidently go in to a seasher does that mean they're married?

now i'm going to go tell my sleeping husband to bight me so he can laugh at me.

Post 26 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Wednesday, 21-Jul-2010 14:35:36

I think it somehow symbolizes a connection to each other. chomp chomp.

Post 27 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Wednesday, 21-Jul-2010 15:37:47

So are vegans excluded from this behavior? Just postulating the peculiar.

Post 28 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Thursday, 22-Jul-2010 14:51:29

Hmmm I never looked at it that way. :)

Post 29 by Jeff (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Thursday, 29-Jul-2010 19:31:36

Um wow this is really wierd. I can't say I'm not surprised though since you can get fangs put on at the dentest it was bound to get more crazier. First teens are chokeing each other to get high, and now there biting each other. So is this just for the emo teens, Vamp kids, Goth kids or is just anyone biting now days?

Post 30 by GreenTurtle (Music is life. Love. Vitality.) on Thursday, 29-Jul-2010 19:38:01

Wow getting fangs can't be good for your teeth. I would imagine it would weaken them, like getting fake nails weakens your real nails. Crazy crazy shit I tell ya...

Post 31 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 09-Aug-2010 14:50:25

It's all verry odd.

Post 32 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Monday, 09-Aug-2010 16:41:59

It's all very likely to show up with yelling and screaming on Jerry Springer, tears on Oprah, and with both sides of the issue being enormously defensive on Dr. Phil. Somebody's cashing in on it.

Post 33 by squidwardqtentacles (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 09-Aug-2010 17:18:29

Can you really get fangs inserted at the dentist's office w/o a medical reason, like the ones you have are missing or ground down? Last year Mr. Spongebob & I got an audit of our medical and dental claims that went beyond ridiculous. My carrier was wanting to know how I ruptured my achilles, wanting to rule out a possible payment by Workmens' Comp instead of them...like after this many years of working for a living I couldn't possibly know the difference between an accident at home and work...and Mr. Sponge got an audit for his dental work wanting dates of extraction or natural loss of two teeth to justify his partial. "What do they think, Spongebob, I had nothing better to do with my time than get two extra teeth in my mouth and have 34 instead of 32?" Maybe voluntary fang implants were the reason for the dental audit.

Post 34 by forereel (Just posting.) on Monday, 09-Aug-2010 22:13:04

You can get them filed down the old fashion way too and have really fangs, but don't tell anybody now. Lol

Post 35 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Monday, 09-Aug-2010 22:40:04

Under most claims surgery like that in this country is "elective" meaning you're on your own. In fact you often have to go to a cosmetic specialist for it, from what I've read. It does sound like rumor, I know, but apparently it's out there, but no, we insured people aren't paying for it because those providers take their money in cash.

Post 36 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 10-Aug-2010 15:07:19

Fangs, gold teeth, people get both. I bet they even have gold fangs.

Post 37 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Tuesday, 10-Aug-2010 15:24:16

lol; I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Post 38 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Tuesday, 10-Aug-2010 18:10:25

Gold teeth don't sound like they would work very well, due to the constitution of gold as a metal, and fangs would be even worse, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't.

Post 39 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 16-Aug-2010 14:52:30

And when you bite down they go "ping!"

Post 40 by BryanP22 (Novice theriminist) on Monday, 06-Sep-2010 18:54:28

I said it before but i'll say it again. Disturbing...

Post 41 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Saturday, 25-Sep-2010 23:14:44

You bet.

Post 42 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Wednesday, 03-Nov-2010 23:11:33

Wow... That's disturbing. Love bites arecool, but drawingblood and biting random people for affection? Not ok, and not healthy.

Post 43 by LeoGuardian (You mean there is something outside of this room with my computer in it?) on Thursday, 04-Nov-2010 1:09:00

Slight genetic drift here, but speaking of biting, how many copycats were there after Tyson bit off Holyfield's ear in 1996? Wow 1996 seems like forever ago but anyway. That was probably the most famous public biting I'd ever heard of.
Not a love bite, sure, but if copycats imitate fiction I wonder how many bitten ears made their way into emergency rooms.

There's a major difference between fiction and reality and that's what I have to say. People have to be careful what is fact and what is fiction. This I have not heard. I've heard people have taken to Twilight like relationships, and many other things which is wrong. Twilights morals are...... fishy at best and very faulty. People must learn to know where to draw the lines to conduct themselves better. I mean, it's the same with Harry Potter. You don't pick up a magic wand after reading a book and say Hey I am a wizard, though some think it's okay to practice witchcraft. I don't think it's moral at all. They got to chekc there reality or fact and make sure it is fact and not completely fictional.
