The Kiss is a term in vampire terminology that refers to the act of biting and taking blood from a mortal.
Feeding is an incredibly intoxicating and erotic experience for vampires and their victims, akin to both sex and falling in love. The victims become paralyzed with euphoria, preventing them from escaping, and dulling their senses to the environment. The vampire experiences a heady rush as well as its carnal hunger is being satisfied. The Kiss is immensely pleasurable for the victim to the point of becoming addicted to it. However, Giovanni's Kiss produces excruciating pain instead of pleasure.
