When Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker wrote their vampire novels (''Carmilla'' and "Dracula" respectively) in the 1800s, setting up the modern vampire, both included heavy erotic themes from the gate. Carmilla was as much a lesbian stalker as you could make a character in 1871 and invented the b movie staple of the “lesbian vampire”. While ol' Drac himself was not exactly portrayed as the handsomest individual, the book's scenes of Dracula's attacks on sleeping women had a darkly erotic undertone (and two of Drac's attacks on women who are awake read like rape scenes) that women readers instantly picked up on, because some women are just fucked up like that. Add in Dracula's far more handsome portrayal by actor Bela Lugosi in the first ever film depiction (which was based on the play rather than the actual novel, btw), and you had the beginnings of the vampire's descent into sexual fandom amongst the growing Goth movement. Add in Anne Rice's sexually charged Vampire Chronicles books, and thus the "Vampires Are Sex Gods" trope was born.

Though it initially tended to be the ''male'' vampires who get presented in this light, dominating the niche genre of "supernatural romance" for women by an enormous margin, there are MORE than enough voluptuous, sexually provocative female vampires in media that [[monstergirls]] fans aren't left entirely in the dust.

In fact, it's not actually unprecedented; the Balkans had stories of [[Dhampir]]s, the offspring of vampires and their human wives, for centuries before Anne Rice put pen to paper, so people have been seeing vampires as sexy for a pretty long time.

Though it's worth noting that erection in humans is achieved by inflating the penis with blood, and that increased bloodflow plays no small role for a woman's genitals either, which might complicate things if your vampires are the sort without a pulse...

In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], the vampire is presented as a kind of [[succubus]] with a taste for bloodplay and an affinity for [[necromancer|necromancy]]. They are arrogant, conceited tsunderes, demanding only the very best in a potential human mate. Unless you feed them garlic, whereupon they turn into a horny, submissive slut.
