Today\u2019s exploration takes us deep into the world of size and consumption – into the world of VORE fetish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is vore, <\/span>you ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AKA Vorarephilia<\/span><\/strong>, it is the sexual fantasy of being eaten or eating another person or creature. It can also be connected to the erotic attraction of the general practice of eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you throw up your hands and cry \u201cpervert!\u201d, stay on this train a little longer \u2013 because you\u2019re going to find that despite the sinister overtones, it\u2019s one of the more harmless fetishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

IT\u2019S NOT CANNIBALISM<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get this part out of the way first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the etymology of this word comes from the Latin \u201cvorare<\/em>\u201d (to swallow or devour), 99% of the vore community rejects concepts or acts of cannibalism (real or imagined).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also not connected to sexual cannibalism because vore involves an impossible size difference<\/strong> between the \u201cprey\u201d and \u201cpred\u201d \u2013 enough of a difference that the victim can be consumed in one piece<\/strong>. Also, even if there isn\u2019t a size difference in the fantasy, the pred has the physically impossible ability to swallow things whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIDE NOTE:<\/strong> <\/span>For those of you who are saying \u201cEW!\u201d, it might be worth pointing out all the business around vampires and the drinking of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT\u2019S NOT JUST EATING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

With any fetish, there are subgroups or branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOFT VORE<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 This fantasy involved the prey (willing or otherwise) being swallowed whole and unharmed. The acts in softcore vore are more sexual and non-fatal, often leaving the prey unharmed or magically reappearing.  This is a large part of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HARD VORE<\/strong><\/span> – Also called Gore<\/em>, there is usually no sexual connections and the prey is put through horrific injuries and blood loss before being killed and then digested. This is a smaller part of the community and sometimes banned in forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VAGINAL VORE<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 Also called Unbirthing, Reverse Birthing, or Female Genital Vor, <\/em>the person is consumed by the vagina and ends up in the womb.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BREAST VORE<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 The prey is taken in through the nipples a ends up in the breasts. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COCK VORE<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 The person is taken through the urethra and ends up in the scrotum, prostate, or bladder.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANAL VORE<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 The person is swallowed up by the anus and ends up in the rectum, colon, or stomach.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE WHY OF VORE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As you can see from the subgroups, it\u2019s not just about eating, but more about being consumed and becoming a part of something larger<\/strong>. Some theorize that it\u2019s to escape loneliness or fear by being with someone more powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a heavy submissive tone to many scenarios \u2013 being helpless and at the mercy of someone stronger (a cornerstone in many BDSM practices).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past that, there can be integrated fetishes towards bondage, masochism, anthropomorphic creatures, pregnancy fetish, <\/em>hypoxyphilia<\/em> (suffocation fetish) or macrophilia (fetish toward really big people\/giants).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying this is the be-all-end-all of reasons why. Just like any kink\/fetish the reasons people like something are as unique as the people themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
