Re: Meta: Eating Habits

I've often wondered if he sleeps. After giving it some thought over time, I've decided that to me, he doesn't sleep (or eat or piss, or anything). Voldemort is not fully human. He has let evil consume him to the point where he is beyond the baser needs of a normal human being. In my pure headcanon, he doesn't feel sexually around. But for fanfic purposes, I can accept his being a sexual being.

I've always had sort of the same feeling about him, that he was a being that was above the lowly concerns of the average living being. Like you, in my headcanon he's a completely non-sexual being. I just can't imagine him "lowering" himself to be intimate with someone.

I'm not sure that those needs could extend to biological functions though. Once he's in a completely corporeal (after book 4) form I couldn't imagine that he wouldn't have the same energy needs as every other being.

Yeah. If we're talking canon:
I feel like he's beyond sex, which seems so base a need. He's more concerned with "ideas": power, fear of death, etc. Also, he is written as an unfortunate being who cannot love, or doesn't find love important, even when he was Tom Riddle before Book 4.

He's written as being a sociopath and so he doesn't really have the ability to feel love. Although that doesn't preclude his enjoying sex as a power play. I just have a hard time imagining him finding anyone worthy of the "honor" of being his conquest in that way. He feels everyone is beneath him anyway so there's no real thrill to be had in debasing someone sexually.

If it doesn't advance his goals I can't see him wasting his time on it. I don't imagine he does things just for the thrill of it.

I see him as a sociopath as well. And yes, I agree he might fuck someone as a power play and get off on being sadistic.

You know, as much as he's a sociopath I don't read him as an out and out sadist or at least not a sadist in the conventional way when he's an adult.

When he's a child it's a completely different matter, I think.
