Hematolagnia is a term that refers to the sexual attraction or desire for blood, often associated with the act of consuming blood or engaging in sexual activities that involve blood. This fetish can manifest in various forms, including but not limited to, fantasies surrounding bloodletting, the sight of blood during sexual arousal, or the incorporation of blood into sexual acts.

Individuals who experience hematolagnia may derive pleasure from the aesthetics of blood, the symbolism associated with it, or the taboo nature of the act itself. It is important to note that hematolagnia can intersect with other kinks and fetishes, such as BDSM, where blood play may be part of a consensual power exchange dynamic.

In practice, engaging in hematolagnia requires careful consideration of consent, safety, and hygiene, as the risk of infection and injury is heightened when involving blood in sexual activities. Safe practices may include the use of sterile equipment for bloodletting, ensuring all parties are aware of potential risks, and establishing clear boundaries and aftercare procedures.
