How does all the hot, steamy vamp sex I imagine actually...technically...happen?
It may be a similar mechanism to how they walk and talk and bleed.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The walking and talking? No suspension of disbelief. The bleeding? Problemmatic.

Handwavey magic, apparently. Though back in Buffy Season 2 there was speculation that they might be able to gorge on blood until their overall BP was raised enough to be able to function.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe near the penis there is a tiny demon opperating a hand-pump....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Didn't we used to have a FAQ entry about this? I believe the answer was "willpower."

Once a dead thing can walk and talk and eat and grow fangs and brow ridges on demand, I don't worry about how it can get an erection. Obviously shit I don't understand is happening there.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Are we veering dangerously back into the forbidden territory of "Do vampires poop?" talk? -- because if we are, I feel the need to filibuster the thread with salad shooter discussion instead.

They don't have reflections in mirrors, and their clothes crumble to dust when they're staked. It's not as if the things are overburdened with the sensible physics to begin with.
