While considering the novel association with the disruption and transgression the novel bears the undertones of sexual perversion. There are a number of incidents in the novel that show Dracula's vampiric procreation. Dracula's sucking and changing the females with an exchange of bodily fluid reveals that it is a psycho-sexual sucking. Besides it also becomes clear that the act of blood transfusion functions as a verily fundamental sexual displacement. The entire acts of sucking does not limit to the physical hunger, but goes beyond that which is really the actions of sexual perversion. In the same way, the act of sucking relates with heterosexual and the paradigm of reproduction.
