"Vore" redirects here. For the term relating to feeding, see -vore.Vorarephilia (often misspelled voreaphilia or voraphilia because of their similar pronunciation), also known as phagophilia or simply called vore for short, is a fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten, eating another, or watching this process. The fantasy may include digestion, which may be imagined to be painless. The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare and Ancient Greek philia .
Terminology
The term vorarephile describes someone who enjoys vore. Most vorarephiles describe themselves as being Prey — reportedly based on how animals are considered to be prey for other animals who are in a higher chain position — while others, who actually do the eating in the fantasies, are referred to as a "pred" (derived from the word predator).
Variates
Soft Vore
Soft vore describes scenarios where prey is consumed alive and whole, often without it being harmed. Because of its non-violent nature, soft vore is commonly regarded as more sensual and sexually oriented. Willing or unwilling prey in soft vore prey are either digested, suffocated or simply held in the stomach. Some vorarephiles who derive pleasure from watching animals eat other animals enjoy watching snakes eating, this is because they usually swallow their prey whole, a major element in soft vore.
Non-sexual soft vore is often used in a wide variety literature. These may be based on Native American folklore, such as one story where Coyote enters the stomach of a giant to rescue a number of people who were eaten alive, or the biblical story of Jonah. Soft vore is also used in current day cartoons and anime (which includes "Eat or Be Eaten: Panic in the Forest," an episode of the anime series Naruto ). Most of these are seen as a harmless sight gag or a minor inconvenience for a character.
Hard Vore
Hard vore describes scenarios where prey is subjected to injuries of being ripped and chewed. This type of vore involves cutting, biting, tearing and usually also involves blood. Although inherently there is no sexual characteristic to these portrayals, to someone with a vore fetish, they could be taken in a sexual context. Hard vore has sometimes been referred to as "gore" to separate it from soft vore.
Non-sexual hard vore is regularly portrayed in movies for mature audiences, such as the Jaws franchise and Deep Blue Sea.
Combinations
Being a fantasy, any orifice may be thought of as capable of vore. Well known are the "genital vore" scenarios, witch includes unbirth. Unbirthing involves being consumed by the vagina and taking refuge in the woman's womb, which is simply a "reverse birth" and, in a pure sense, can only be done by a female. It is sometimes referred to as "Female Genital Vore" or "vaginal vore." Others think of it as a mutual, erotic and consensual activity with no injury to the sexual partners involved — in that case it is not considered a form of vore.
"Male Genital Vore," commonly called cock vore, refers to being consumed by the penis. This involves the urethral opening at the top of the penis, after which they are pulled down the urethra to the predator's scrotum, in which prey is absorbed, digested, or turned into semen (sometimes known as "cum vore") and ejaculated. A lesser known variant involves the prey to be taken to the prostate for conversion to semen, or to the bladder for storage or digestion.
Not well known, Anal vore describes being consumed by the anus. In common scenarios, prey consumed through anal vore is often drawn up through the digestive tract to the stomach where they are digested in a normal fashion. Such is not always the case, as the prey may simply remain in the rectum of the predator for a varying length of time. Breast vore describes prey being engulfed into the predator's breast through the nipples. Prey consumed is usually then held in the predator's breast where they are occasionally transformed into breast milk.
Related fetishes
Macro vore is quite common, witch describes being consumed by a large or giant predator. Commonly called "giantess vore" (when the predator is a female), is commonly a mixture of macrophilia, a fetish for giants. In micro vore, on the other hand, is a combination of microphilia, in witch the predator is smaller than its prey (this often involves magic). Scat is combined with vore as coprophilia, in witch the prey has been digested (or pushed through the digestive system alive) and excreted out.
Maiesiophilia describes a love of the pregnant female form. It can take various forms, from having the shape of being pregnant while not having the pregnancy, or with a vore scenarios, looking pregnant while holding prey inside their stomach.
