- This article is about the sexual fetish. For the suffix, see -vore.
Vorarephilia (also referred to as voraphilia, vore, voreaphilia ,and phagophilia) is the interest/sexual fetish in which a person fantasizes about eating another person and/or creature, or being eaten. Preferences vary, but most prefer to fantasize about being devoured whole and alive. Those who prefer to be torn, chewed, and killed are often referred to as 'shreddies'. This fetish is most commonly found portrayed in stories, or cartoonish drawings, and internet role play. This is typically considered an "imaginary fetish" since practicing the fetish would be difficult, to say the least; although the case of Armin Meiwes in Germany, and possibly Jeffrey Dahmer in the United States, show that it is within the realm of possibility (though most vorarephiles are aware of the inherent silliness of their fetish, and are largely uninterested in the idea of cannibalism). The voreaphile typically has specific preferences concerning what roles they play in vore encounters, and some MUCKs allow them to list these preferences in an accessible table to help match compatible vorarephiles.
This fetish is often associated with macrophilia and microphilia as well as the furry community, where predation is more natural in roleplaying. It is related to unbirth in some respects (both are types of endosomatophilia). How this fetish develops is still currently unknown.
