Ever thought vampires have full control over their anatomy as they are shapeshifters, being able to make ones organs work would be highly plasuible and as for offspring that has only happened once and that may have been under certain circumstances where that vampire was carrying a blessing that allowed him to father a child despite being physically dead.We are expected to suspend some measure of disbelief for the sake of fantasy and all that but if we go by the popular belief that vampires are for all intents and purposes dead, then we accept that they have no heart beat. Which means we accept they have no functioning circulatory system, which means no blood flow. Now for a male vampire wouldn't the physical act of love by conventional methods be impossible as without blood flow then certain parts of their anatomy are non functional?
There's also the aspect of vampires being able to exert strong control over their victim's minds. So it's possible that a vampire may just manipulate a victim's mind to believe they are experiencing intercourse so as to keep them subdued while they feed.
Of course this doesn't explain the occasional vampire offspring that tends to crop up every now and then...
The "Un" part of undead means reanimated, a Lich is Undead, a Draugr is Undead, a headless zombie is undead, they are dead because death is the absence of life, these are corpses who are reanimated by necrotic energies, a vampire is no different only they are via a Daedric Form of Necromancy brought upon by Molag Bals own blood.Well, they are undead, not "dead". It is different because dead things can't react, while vampires react just as much as the living.
Also, I just want to say that this theme was addressed in previous TES games, even if the word is censored here. Both relationships with vampires and necromances having fun their, uh, "own peculiar way".
Aaaand I can't believe I'm discussing this.

Your assuming that the vampire in question has shape shifting abilities and that they'd have total control over each part of their body independently from the rest.
Still, my point is that intercourse with a vampire may be a strictly one sided affair in that copulation may not actually occur. Instead the vampire may simply employ the use of a very convincing illusion to ensnare a potential victim for the sake of creating a bond of intimacy and affection which they could exploit to make feeding easier. If that's the case then physical interaction never occurred and it can't be considered "you know what".
Also, keep in mind I'm not being 100% serious here. Kind of shooting off a bit of an abstract concept just for the fun of it.

Just to tip in here though, it has been revealed by lore in the past that male vampires can impregnate mortal women, yet there are no signs of vampire women being able to become pregnant.
To me at least, that suggest their willies does function to an extend, probably again through the magical way the vampire's vessel works.
magic.

Lol, yar I know. I never said it explain everything. To produce offspring I'm sure there is some sort of magical ritual that involves them doing the nasty with a mortal (and in that case yes, yes it is very much "you know what") but it doesn't seem to be a terribly common occurrence.
Joy and exaltation! She is with child! My beloved Luktuv is carrying my child! The midwives predict a boy, and we have already settled on the name Agronak. In truth, I never realized such miracles were even possible, but the Divines have granted us their blessing, and so shall it be. I must wonder, of course, if my dear child will share in my Dark Gift. Only time will tell.

They are very different, though, as they act (and react) in a way very similar to the living, unlike a draugr or a zombie (or a regular corpse, which is dead, without the "un" part).
So I don't think it is [that censored word] exactly, although it still "technically" is. Unlike when necromancers have fun with their zombies, which certainly is.vampires are animate beings capable of reasoning and thought.
This is the big difference right here.
Vampires in ES are shapeshifters, they can turn into Bats, Mist, Gargoyles such as the vampire in Eastmarch and likly many other things or did you forget about that? Im just providing a plausible explanation as to how they can do it.TX12001rwb17_ESO wrote: »Ever thought vampires have full control over their anatomy as they are shapeshifters, being able to make ones organs work would be highly plasuible and as for offspring that has only happened once and that may have been under certain circumstances where that vampire was carrying a blessing that allowed him to father a child despite being physically dead.We are expected to suspend some measure of disbelief for the sake of fantasy and all that but if we go by the popular belief that vampires are for all intents and purposes dead, then we accept that they have no heart beat.
