- This is in response to Glenn's posting in which she abuses Werewolf and then
- asks whether or not vampires are impotent.

- I would say that it's going to tend to depend on what you accept as source
- material for vampire info. I would be surprised if traditional vampires (the
- old walking corpse that feeds on blood, was probably a sinner, werewolf, or
- really unlucky person in life, etc.) was capable of sexual activity. After all
- their symbols of death, not life.
-
- In terms of modern iterpretations of vampires, hell, believe whatever you feel
- like. As you noted, there's fiction that goes both ways.
-
- To sum up: what do mean, "are vampires impotent?" You need to define your
- chosen myth.
