In Werner Hertzog's 'Nosferatu the Vampire', the oddly empathic revenant of the title states his desire for the feminine, and somewhat motherly, love which the oral model describes. While in the original 'Nosferatu' the vampire is little more than a bestial monster, the eponymous vampire of the remake is a pathetic creature craving love, and despairing and despising his own immortality (in this, he is akin to Rice's Louis). The heroine, Lucy, rejects his begging her for her love in order to give him salvation, saying in one of several Nitche-esq lines, that only we can grant our own salvation. The typical vampire also typically possesses certain qualities representative of the second, anal, circuit, with relates to hierarchy and territory, and is regarded as epitomizing masculine nature at it's most basic level. The most notable appearance of this circuit in the vampire's sexual and psychological nature is in it's dominance; the vampire, in it's territory, commands. The vampire's typical prey are nubile young women, who usually, if they aren't wearing remarkably little to start with, end up doing so by the time they get bitten. Presumably, the fact that the victims are divested of their clothing is to emphasise the rapacious aspect of the vampire preying upon sexual innocents. Either that, or an attempt to increase the take at the box office.
