Vorarephilia (often misspelled voreaphilia or voraphilia, or shortened to vore), is a sexual fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten, eating another, or watching this process. The fantasy may include digestion.

The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and Ancient Greek φιλία (philia, 'love'), while phagophilia comes from φάγειν (phagein, to 'chew' or 'gnaw').

"Vore" is used in many different forms. It usually involves cartoon or anime caracters. The most common types include animals or furries. Vore does not always include eatting or digestion, despite the name. Vore can include a living creature going into the womb of another and sleeping.

It is common for people who are sensually pleased by "vore" usually think that something is wrong with them for a while. It's a common stage people go through. After they realize that there's nothing wrong with them, they usually feel more at ease enjoying it.
