what is vore

Vore, short for Vorarephilia, is a paraphilia characterized by the erotic desire to be consumed by, or to personally consume, another person or creature, or an erotic attraction to the process of eating in general practice. Soft vore fantasies are separated from sexual cannibalism, also referred to as "hard vore", because the living victim is normally swallowed whole. The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to "swallow" or "devour"), and Ancient Greek φιλία (philía, "love") . Vore is most often enjoyed through pictures, stories, videos, and video games, and it can appear in mainstream media. It is a rare sexual fetish where someone experiences sexual arousal from imagining swallowing or devouring someone whole or from being swallowed or devoured whole. For some, it can include chewing people up or being chewed up as well.
