Why do we get off on vampires?

WHY HUMANS THINK VAMPIRES ARE SEXY.
In the good old days, before cinema television, vampires used to be horrific re-animated corpses walking around at night eating the flesh of the living.

These old-school vampires had more in common with modern-day zombies than today's toothy enchanters. But then things started to change.

Arguably it all began with the birth of the first modern vampire: Bram Stokers Dracula.

Rather than being a zombie- esque corpse, Dracula was a gentleman. A count, even. This meant that he knew how to conduct himself in order to infiltrate human society so he could strike out from within.

He was likeable; he was charming. He was sexy And from that point on, vampires became the new sex symbols. In books as well as films and television series, vampires were portrayed as overtly sexual beings who seduced and preyed on the weak- minded humans.

So. We’ve established that modern vampires are all about the sex. But why? What is it about those undead ectoparasites that we find so attractive?
There’s been countless pieces written on the sex appeal of vampires, with references to anything from the sex- oppressed Victorian society of Bram Stoker to the penetrative action of the vampire fangs. But I don’t fully subscribe to these explanations. Instead (as always, you might sarcastically say), I’ll focus on the biological psychological aspects of modern vampires and see if that can shed any light on the matter.
