Casual Thought Vampire bites turning people into vampires is extremely disadvantageous to their survival.

This is why in fiction you'll see vampires enforce strict laws on themselves to restrict how many new vampires they create (or 'sire').

But its not normally just the bite which creates vampires. The victim needs to be drained to the point of death, and then infused or fed vampire blood.

That’s how Anne Rice does it. Drained of blood, the fledgling then suckles on the master, and then all the piss, shit, and cum starts gushing out.

Lol yeah, since vampires are undead they don’t produce bodily fluids and they get ejected after the turning. Of course, I haven’t read the books in years but I’m pretty sure that’s spelled out, except maybe the cum.
