Most monsters feed on the vital "essence”, that human men have a lot of. They absorb it inside their body and convert it into “mamono mana”, the vital energy of monsters. For monsters, essence is a delicious treat that is far better than any other kind of food. Monsters that obtain and taste essence will be engulfed in powerful ecstasy and joy. Even monsters that mainly eat things besides energy can still take in energy and convert it to mamono mana. To them, a man's energy is a sweet treat.

Essence is plentiful in human bodily fluids, especially semen. Besides drinking it through their mouth and ingesting it, they most prefer to milk it out using their vagina by having sex with a man. Since energy is mainly taken in through sex in this manner, while “sex” is an act of reproduction for monsters, at the same time it is also “feeding.” Additionally, the taste and smell of essence lingers faintly on a man's body, and is comparatively thicker on the penis. Monsters can enjoy the taste by licking a man's body, or taking it in their mouth or vagina. For monsters, a man's very existence itself is like a sweat treat because he has essence within his body that they can taste and enjoy by licking, sucking, and having sex, resulting in pleasure that soothes their body and heart.

For that reason, monsters say “Delicious.” or “Looks delicious.” when they see a human man, and they refer to sex as “eating”.

Since monsters build up mamono mana by obtaining spirit, monsters that have more sex with men and get more energy poured inside them generally become stronger individuals. The more powerful a monster becomes, the more essence she requires, and they never get tired of consuming it. For monsters it's like a drug: the more they absorb, the more they want, so when more essence is poured inside them, not only do they become more powerful, they grow into much more lustful monsters.

The essence of each individual man has a distinctive feel and taste. Humans can't sense it, but monsters are sensitive to it, and because of that, it's possible for them to sense and distinguish the presence of individual men based on the trace amounts of essence that a man scatters around.
