Vampires take blood, at the most basic level, because blood contains human's life force (without it, a human being will die). It can be reasoned, then, that cum is also a possible source of sustenance for vampires; after all, it is directly used in generation of new life! As for other bodily fluids, I'm not so sure. Human can survive without tears, saliva and so on. It would be inconviniencing and possibly harmful, but it's possible. Whatever meaning these liquids have, they do not represent life force.

Also, one type of vampire from folklore of one of the South American native nations fed on human fat.
