I agree that the term vampire doesn't have the exact meaning I was looking for in this context but I failed to come up with a better term that describes it. Seems like we have a term for all the ways we like to have fun but I've not heard one for this indulgence. "I enjoy giving him/her pleasure" doesn't quite rise to the measure of what I was talking about.
Yes, indeed. I combed through my thesaurus looking for a word that had the connotation (which I think you intended) of "filling one's vital need (even life sustenance) from another without doing harm to, or even benefiting, the donor" but perhaps without the perfect symmetry implied by "symbiosis". I could not find a good word or phrase.
So, instead of erectile dysfunction, I am suffering vocabularic dysfunction.
edited to add lame ideas:
"Succubus" or "Incubus", but those terms already have specific meanings and DO hurt the other party.
"pleasure absorber"? Not quite right
"pleasure suck" does not sound quite nice enough. but "ecstasy sink" gets closer.
"one who craves spiritual nourishment from the orgasms/ecstasy/climaxes of a partner"
or, more to the point, "one who derives sexual gratification from the ecstasy of a partner" Am I getting closer to the intended sentiment?
