As an example of sexual biters, Fang Bangers are in a class of their own. The Urban Dictionary sinks their teeth into a definition or two:
A sub-sect of gothic vampire culture, consisting of mostly, but not limited to, blacks and latinos.
They are characterized by custom fangs, theatrical contact lenses. Their form of dress consists of hip-hop/raver/fetish gear, all black or UV responsive.
Vampires are chic. The Twilight books and movie, and HBO's True Blood are evidence that the bloody link between lust and biting might be fanciful, but connects with a lot of people.
Much is happening here. There is the anthropomorphization of bats. Then there is the notion of blood as convenience food. Add to that the willingness of BYTs* to be a part of this ghoulish world, and we have a bite-based social group verging on the popular.
I fear however that Fang Bangers will only ever be a minority of women, more's the pity. What more to say about them? They're sexy folks who can't get by without a regular infusion of biting and bonking. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Next post I'll examine more mainstream bangers, those who perhaps don't seek sustenance from their partners' bodily fluids.
