For me and I think for a lot of people its the idea of becoming part of something else, losing yourself in the most primal and natural way possible. For me at least it doesn't matter if that thing is greater, often getting eaten by simple things like plants and worms, snakes is better it adds to the feeling of losing identity and also adds to the humilation.(although as a kobold the idea of getting nommed by a dragon has its appeal). Also i imagine it would be like a warm tight hug. Sorry I could witter on about it for hours too 😅

I like drawing tongues and teeth, sharp chompers are just so appealing? like it gives my brain a satisfying buzz, but its not a like sexual kink for me. Most things are just like mm brain go burrr, and not like i gotta nut off to this.

I like vore because economy is down the toilet.
I'm glad I can eat these subby dragons.

For me as an endo-friendo, the utmost enjoyable thing about vore is painless mutual enjoyment, as an expression of care and affection between the pred and prey, the closest most intimate possible snuggle. As the prey just giving up complete control, in trust that the pred will keep you safe and comfy and take care of things while you're indisposed, wrapped in the embrace of warm comfy cozy guts.
There's also the WaM aspect, covered in a cozy blanket of thick, sticky juices.
Then there's painless digestion into sentient fat, just relaxing as part of the pred for an extended time as they playfully tease and wobble me around.

So, I guess to put it simply, vore is kinda like a nexus of a number of kinks, and I like it as an expression of affection and intimacy, in the comfort of trusting submission, with a slight touch of playful humiliation. ^^

I'm along two lines with it. On eone hand I love the dominance. The teasing, the total power of the predator and that's where my interest in soft/melty digestion (with reformation) comes in.

On the other hand I love the intimacy. No more complete a hug than a full body hug from all directions and vore helps with that.

Intimacy, domination, the sensory potential: those are my big reasons for liking vore so much.

I love vore, but only under certain conditions:

1. I love when it’s a male prey / female predator. It’s part of the whole female domination theme, and a female predator is just so kinky when she’s enjoying the hot sex, using him as a pleasure toy, only to use thank him in the end by repurposing him as nothing but nourishment to amplify her curves, or just unbirth him into oblivion, creating an immeasurably potent orgasm. The fact that in the end, he’s just a temporary, useless fuck-toy meant to satiate her life-force in some way is the most dominant thing she can do. It isn’t even necessarily to hate on the guy either. The fact that she really likes him makes it even hotter.

2. I can’t get enough of when a dominant female seduces the male prey, either getting him drunk on lust, or getting him to f#ck her, but then uses that to end his life and nourish herself. I don’t really know why that’s super hot, but maybe it’s because she’s so extremely horny and lustful, she doesn’t have enough judgement to care about the end result. Just the awesome sex and hedonistic digestion.

3. It’s even better when the male prey doesn’t see it coming, but can’t care enough when it happens, because he’s just lost in bliss to the very end. I don’t know if you guys have ever read “Charlotte’s Lounge”, or “Getting Him For Good”, but it’s a perfect example of all of these themes.

Side-Note:
Seriously though, I wish Mahiri would write more of those exact types! I’m probably going to save some money to commission a few ideas I have for stories, likely more than a few times, to be honest. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully explain why these types of digestion vore are so fucking unbelievably hot, but it might subconsciously be because I have trouble with self-esteem. They say fetishy stuff like this happens because we try to unconsciously deal with permanent internal conflicts by turning them into blissful concepts, but our brains never quite resolve the main issue with that sole tactic, so we’re just stuck at an impasse, going on-loop forever with our crazy fetishes.

Certainly a power dynamic thing-- that dominant pred grin is really hot; as are open maws in general >///<

Though it can be hit and miss with me... I find it works best when the art is cute.

I like having total control over and trust of my prey.

I think it's the belly really. I like to see it expand. Annnnd the feeling of helplessness too, you know, pred/prey, dom/sub

I enjoy the trust aspect of vore. To be completely at the mercy of and/or have the complete control of another person makes it so intimate. That level of trust in each other. It’s what continues to draw me to vore. Though as a kink, it’s control. Either completely dominating another or being completely dominated. To have no say or give no say to the other. These two reasons are how I enjoy vore both casually and as a kink.
