Seeeeeeeeee the thing here is I kind of interpret the virgin thing as being not true; I’m of the belief that ghouls were just the result of the chipped/artificial vampires biting someone, and that artificial vampires just can’t create a real vampire -only Alucard can.
If it were true, though, the choice would be left to his s/o just as it was left to Seras and Integra (in the original at least). Either choice is bittersweet for him; he’d be both saddened by and proud of either decision.
His curiosity is piqued by them being a virgin, he might ask about it, but overall he doesn’t treat them differently, aside from being very careful with them the first time they’re together. He makes it clear that they can stop at any moment they desire, and makes sure that they’re enjoying anything he does before he continues.
He can’t help but tease them a little more, though. It’s wonderful watching them become flustered.
As much as he puts forth that “No fucks given” side, I can completely see him being to utmost gentleman if this occurred.
Seriously:
1) the era he was born and all the eras he’s lived through
2) His actual first encounter with sex was horrifying so I doubt he’d want that for his s/o
3) they say people are different in bedroom than outside it
TBH I feel, a good amount of time, that Alucard puts on that “no fucks given” face because:
1) Everyone deems him as a monster (except Seras and seems Integra at times)
2) Abraham Van Helsing drilled it into his head that he’s nothing (and Lord knows how tortuous that way was)
3) The abuse he dealt with as a child/teen
It’s easier to hide behind that then show any bit of yourself. When watching the OVAs you can see glimpses of this. When Luke calls him a monster he blinks and jerks back, almost hurt, then quickly becomes that monster, because he gets that a lot.
Could he also just be crazy after almost 550 years of life and devouring/killing all those souls? Well, yeah, but I’m trying to look more in-depth here.
Oh wow, I didn’t even think of it that way during that moment with Luke, that makes so much sense!
The scene goes from “Alucard is disappointed by an enemy who actually seemed challenging” to “Alucard toys with some dude until the dude actually hits a nerve”. Oh man, I love that.
-and hey, Hellsing characters always go for the more in-depth characterization, so I think you’re absolutely right. 🙂
what if, like bats, blood-sucking vampires actually represent a small percentage of the full vampire population and most horrible undead creatures of the night are adapted to eat bugs, fruits, and nectars

You, a Ventrue: dignified, refined, drinks only the blood of virgins from a crystal glass
Me, a Nosferatu: vaccums up every bug in sight while screaming like the goblin I am
