The walking and talking? No suspension of disbelief. The bleeding? Problemmatic.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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?

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