- 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, being eaten him/herself, and/or watching another be eaten. Preferences vary, but most prefer to fantasize about being devoured whole and alive (soft vore), as opposed to those who prefer to be torn, chewed, and killed (hard vore). Those who prefer hard vore are sometimes referred to as “shreddies”. Both types of vore are most commonly found portrayed in stories or cartoonish drawings and acted out in internet role-playing.
Vorarephilia is typically considered an "imaginary fetish", since practicing the fetish is practically impossible. Most vorarephiles 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, which makes it somewhat more plausible, 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).
