Biting Each Other is the New Kissing
The allure of the blockbuster "Twilight" books and movies appears to have spawned a troubling trend: Teen couples are biting one another to show
affection, sometimes biting so hard they draw blood.
"Biting is challenging because one of the things we know about sexuality and biting and vampires is that it's passion, it's all-encompassing, it's
wanting to consume someone else," New York City sexologist Logan Levkoff told "Good Morning America."
"And biting is sort of an extension of the hickey. It's that same thing about marking someone else and showing passion."
Michael Kaplor, 16, said he has been biting his girlfriend on and off for about a year.
"For me, biting is the way to show affection toward the other person and to just get a crazy adrenaline rush and not so much to mark territory or to
show I belong to something, but just to show the other person I care and there's a deeper sense of affection," he said.
He bites his girlfriend on or around her shoulder to ensure the marks remain hidden. The teen said he draws no blood but knows of others who do.
"I think a lot of people draw blood because they want to feel very powerful, when you bite the other person you get the huge adrenaline rush and it
feels like you can't stop and some people just take it too far," he added.

First, I have to say this: Why?!? What is going on in these people's minds when they do this? Seriously.
Me: Open up, ice cream carton! I want to eat your insides.
*Received a disturbed stare from roommate* Oh, that sounded so wrong, didn't it?
Roommate: Yup.

I know, believe me (I had a guy who had a crush on me who was into that sort of thing and growling). It's just the increased amount of infections and
diseases spreading that I'm worried about.
