There’s a certain allure to the forbidden. And nothing is more forbidden than cannibalism, right? Well, maybe not. A more socially acceptable version of this taboo might be vore, the act of fantasizing about or enjoying the idea of being swallowed whole or swallowing someone else whole. It might seem bizarre, but vore has a growing fan base online, with forums dedicated to the fetish. In this article, we take a closer look at what vore is, whether it’s normal to like it, and why some people have vore fantasies.
What is vore?
Vore is a type of fetish where one person fantasizes about being swallowed whole or swallowing someone else whole. The idea is that the person or creature would be completely consumed, digested, and ultimately become a part of the swallower.
The term “vore” comes from the word “vorare” which means “to swallow” in Latin. The earliest known usage of the term to describe this fetish was in 1998 on the website “vore.net.”
Vore fantasies can come in various forms. For some, it may involve being swallowed alive by a giant creature like a snake or dragon. For others, it may involve a more sexual context, with one partner being eaten by the other.
There are also different types of vore, including:
- Oral vore – being swallowed whole by the mouth
- Anal vore – being swallowed whole by the anus
- Cock vore – being swallowed whole by a penis
- Unbirth vore – being swallowed whole by the vagina
Is it normal to like vore?
The question of what is “normal” is a subjective one. Some people might find vore to be bizarre and disturbing, while others might find it an intriguing and exciting form of sexual fantasy. The fact is, people have different fetishes, and there is no right or wrong way to express sexuality, as long as it is consensual and not harming anyone.
There is no definitive study that indicates how many people have vore fantasies. However, online forums and communities suggest that many people are into it.
It is worth noting that the line between harmless fantasy and troubling behavior can be a fine one. Some vore enthusiasts may find themselves obsessed with the fetish to the point of harm. For example, there have been reports of people ingesting drugs or herbs, hoping to induce feelings of being consumed or digested, which can result in severe illness or death. So it is essential to distinguish between innocent fantasy and dangerous behavior.
Why do people have vore fantasies?
The idea of being consumed or dominating another by consumption can be quite thrilling for some people. Like many other fetishes, people have vore fantasies for different reasons, ranging from the desire for power exchange to simply loving the sensation of being enveloped and digested.
Some people like vore because of their fascination with macrophilia, attraction to enormous or giant beings. For them, being swallowed whole by a giant creature is a fantasy that excites them and fills them with awe. As one vore enthusiast puts it, “There’s a sense of unknown excitement being in a giant creature’s mouth, preparing to be swallowed whole and taken deep into their belly. It’s an exhilarating feeling.”
Others find it sexually stimulating. According to an anonymous vore enthusiast, “the idea of being completely enveloped, consumed, and digested is incredibly erotic. It’s a form of intimacy and vulnerability that cannot be replicated by any other kink.”
Some people may have vore fantasies because of underlying psychological issues. A study conducted by the University of Montreal suggests that people into vore may have a propensity towards dissociation and may enjoy the feeling of being “swallowed” as a form of escape from reality.
Conclusion
Vore may seem bizarre to outsiders and is undeniably a taboo subject. Still, like all fetishes, it provides a rich emotional and psychological experience to those with a taste for it. The important thing to remember is that it is a consensual act, and as long as there is no harm involved, people should be free to enjoy their fantasies.
