Okay so it's been established I believe from Sarah Michelle Gellar that vampires don't have semen or sperm and that they shoot blanks due to them being dead and all, however I was wondering do vampires go to the bathroom? I mean they do eat and drink things other then blood, even though they don't NEED to, but still. Even a vampire bat whose diet is nothing but blood still urinates.
 
Yes, but vampire bats aren't undead. I don't believe that the Buffyverse vampires need to use the bathroom, even if they do eat or drink. (The food probably just disintegrates eventually in their insides.)
 
Yeah I know vampire bats aren't undead but my whole point was even though vampire bats only drink blood they still use the bathroom, however vampires eat and drink and they obviously have to have SOME type of circulation for them to get erections to have sex so I'm just wondering if they use the bathroom.
 
Well Anne Rice's vampires don't use the bathroom, but they don't have sex either. Her vampires are rather stupid in concept, when you think about it. I mean, their penises are permanantly erect - stupid.

Vampires in general don't make much sense either, but Buffyverse vampires might as well be alive. Their blood circulates, drugs can effect them, they can have sex, I do think they have been seen eating even when they don't need to...so I don't see how they can't use the bathroom.

Blood can't disintegrate inside them. Some of it has to be used to nourish them, but stuff has to go somewhere, and it can't scientifically just become nothing. It's matter, which can't be destroyed. If they never used the bathroom it would have to be stored inside them, which means after a short while you'd think they'd get fat.

Also, when you think about it, if a vampire is truly dead, they shouldn't be able to have sex at all. And even if you "shoot blanks" you still need body fluids for that, and if a vampire has body fluids, they're not very dead.

The only explanation for THAT would be that the bodies aren't DEAD but that the person is dead and they're body is serving as a host for the demon that takes them over, in which case that body should still have to excrete waste if it consumes anything.

Ooh sorry for ranting, I was sort of thinking that all through in my head as I typed. 🙂

It makes sense but the body is dead, as it no longer has the warmth a human body has, and also the heart no longer pumps
 
does anyone know of any vampire fandom that tells us that vampires need to use the bathroom?
the only vamp fandom's i read/watch are BTVS/ATS and Anita Blake. there's no mention in AB if a vamp needs to use the bathroom, but a (male) vampire needs to consume fresh human blood before he can have sex. and they die when the sun rises, they can't move around during the day.
maybe whoever writes this stuff doesn't want people thinking about their big bad's using the toilet!
 
Bathroom habits---

I know that the mention of Star Trek on this forum will upset some Buffy fans, but there were no "heads" shown anywhere on the ENTERPRISE, and very few movies or tv series before or since have included that minor detail. Bathrooms are simply places to take showers or baths (quite often not alone), for men to shave, or for women to apply their makeup.

My point is that the disposal of human waste has never been the subject of entertainment. Not only did Angel and Spike never use the bathroom, neither did Buffy or Xander. As for what happens to the digested blood and food consumed by the characters, I would just as soon leave it up to the imaginations of those interested in such details. I simply prefer to enjoy the show.
 
Well, I think that the demon inside is what keeps the vampire alive, I mean, its not like the body is rigid and hit with rigamortis, so I think, the demon inside the body acts like a soul, and if a soul is still intact with a body, it's not truly dead. True, the heart might not be pumping, but certainly in order for the vampire to have sex, something has to be working, and before a dead person is ebalmed, dont they loose all their body functions and let go on themselves anyways? I think that a dead body would still let go of waste and urine if anything was injected into it.

So, for the vampires to one, drink blood on a regular basis, and two, eat and drink when they want to, that yes, the body would have to digest it to some degree, and they would feel the need to use the bathroom, there was no mention of them ever not being able to use the bathroom. The only real flaw to me in the vampire lore, is why the undead part? Why do they have to have a still heart..especially while in the buffyverse where they can do all the nifty things alive people can do.

They did use the bathroom they showed Xander about to pee in Restless and also Dawn mentioned in The Body that she had to pee
 
Not to mention it makes the characters seem more real to have to use the bathroom.

But the further you go back in mythology the more "dead" vampires and the "undead" truly seemed, they were more monster-like. In modern fiction vampires are not "dead" or "undead", they're basically human, except now they get nourishment from blood and have more abilities. And in the Buffyverse, if a demon is acting like a soul, then the body is DEFINITELY alive in just another form.

Also, they're not "dead" during the day, they just sleep.
 
Well I mean it's obviously established that they're not fully dead, because again when they're cut they bleed, they can still have erections but no sperm, and they do need to sleep(not as much as humans) but they still sleep. So that's why I'm wondering if they use the bathroom, because again they do eat things other then blood and the blood is obviously going to their stomachs and threw their digestive tracks and not throughout their system to get them blood hydrated or whatever. I don't know I just don't get the whole vampire thing lol
