Sanguine Feeding
Psi feeding and Sanguine feeding, as you now know, are completely different. So guidance will be given for each type of feeding.
Though Sanguine feeding is not as chaotic and discrete as Psi feeding it is immensely more complicated and potentially problem filled.
First and foremost comes the issue of keeping yourself safe. Always get your donor checked for any diseases. Always, I repeat always, sterilize the cutting tools and the wound before and after feeding. Once a donor is found and ready, and you have a private place, it is time to feed.
As for what to use to make the wound - there are several options. There are disposable cutting knives, surgical scalpels, normal knives, lancets, needles and your teeth. The best method out of all of these is using a disposable cutting knife. It is just as sharp and made from the same steel as a scalpel; but is cheaper, disposable, and as long as it is properly sterilized, it is the best tool to use. A normal knife, if sharpened and sterilized properly, is another good option; it provides just as much control, but with a better quality steel, and aesthetically more appealing.
Lancets are probably the best way to go for those just starting out. They are a bloodletting tool used mainly by diabetics and can be bought anywhere diabetic supplies are sold. They are simple to use and are incapable of making you bleed too much. They also leave a smaller scar than a knife.
Needles we will not even go into. If you are not a trained phlebotomist do not ever use one. It is extremely dangerous if you do not know what you are doing and can kill your donor.
Finally you can use your teeth; though it is not a recommended way of feeding as it makes it very easy to infect the wound with the many germs that exist in everyone’s mouth. If you decide to use this method then be aware that it will not yield a lot of blood for you. Brush your teeth a few hours beforehand and use anti-bacterial mouthwash just before.
With any tool used comes the issue of scarring. Some different tools used can cause significantly less scarring than others and vice versa. Just keep in mind that any tool used will cause at least slight scarring and your donor should completely understand that. It is best to pick a spot to feed from that scars can go by unnoticed. It is usually common courtesy to let the donor chose the spot; and, if they can safely do it, make the wound as well.
Once you have the intended tool properly sterilized it is time to pick a spot to cut. It is best to have a copy of a medical book on hand or search online for one. Knowing where the major arteries and veins are, and therefore where not to cut, is a must. The best places to cut are thick fatty areas like the bicep, outer arm, shoulder and outer thighs (NOTE: Use extreme caution when cutting anywhere on the thighs and never cut on the inside of the thigh).
Once a spot has been chosen sterilize it with alcohol pads. If using a knife - cut lightly just below the fatty layer of the skin. Cut slowly and as smoothly as possible. Remember that the faster you cut the less control you have over the depth and therefore bleeding; which can result in more pain for the donor. Once a cut has been made then start sucking over the wound to get some blood out. Do this several times to get the desired amount; though never drink more than a mouthful. Clean the wound off with a clean wet cloth and use another alcohol pad on the wound. Apply some anti-bacterial ointment to it then place a band aid or surgical tape over it.
That is really all there is to blood feeding. There are just many legal and health issues to be aware of beforehand. Be aware of these issues, treat your donor with care and respect, and all should go well.
