George Michael during Wham!'s farewell concert at Wembley Stadium in London on June 28, 1986.

He’s successfully “harvested” at least fourteen hearts, based on the collection we see. Monsters’ lifespans vary wildly by species, with some being immortal or extremely long-lived and some having human lifespans, so these may just be the victims who are still alive by the time of Draculaura’s 1600th birthday. And they may have been trapped in supernatural post-breakup hell for centuries on end. Some of them may have died in that state.

He’s over a thousand years old. This is the only way he knew how to consume love from his peers. How often has he done it?

And then, in the present day, he figures out that a) he can be much better satisfied by freely given love, meaning the exploitation was unnecessary, and b) he’s gay. He doesn’t like girls romantically or sexually. He just couldn’t accept that and overcompensated in the worst possible way.
