The walking and talking? No suspension of disbelief. The bleeding? Problemmatic.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

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.
How does all the hot, steamy vamp sex I imagine actually...technically...happen?

"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.
