Spotting Emotional Vampires: Dr. John McIntosh's Guide to Healthy Relationships
“Vampires are predators, just like you see in the movies and in the books. These folks equate love with energy gained from sex, so you often get the feeling that they don't feel loved unless you give them what they need sexually. This is all manipulation in order to keep you submitted into the relationship.”
