I have no idea why people find it sexy or arousing.

.. and I have no idea why I sometimes like drawing/looking at it. IT'S SUCH A CONFUSING.. FETISH? ; ~ ;

Oh, it's a common misconception that vore is something that intrinsically has to do with furry. I strongly suspect that "vore" in its commonly seen murry form came hand in hand with the giantess erotic fandom, which it is a subset of. You get swallowed whole because you are eaten by a giant woman/gay wolf person. Over time furry has steamrolled into its welcoming foetid busom the most horrifying fans of many extreme unerotic fetishes-hyper, inflation, hard scat, age play etc etc etc.-like some filthy katamari. Making the protagonist/victim a cartoon animal only increases the potential for objectification.

"like some filthy katamari" wow, great analogy. I'm not even being sarcastic, that's brilliant.
Furries are into some weird shit. Well, people in general, but from what I can see under the submission options on here, furries are into so -really- weird shit.

Most of the vore is boring. Eaten alive, you say? Rather being swallowed alive! If it would be EATING, it would involve TEETH chewing into FLESH! And thus blood. "But that's hardvore bawwwww :::CCC"

Vore is for wussies.

And oh, I enjoy guro/gore too, when it has been drawn credibly. Blood needs to look like blood, not some crappy strawberry juice. Damnit.

I like vore... but not the "swallow whole" kind. I like the "NOMNOM tear you apart like a steak" kind. But then again... I like gore in general so yeah.

I don't get vore either
I mean the concept sounds amazing, two animal people EATING EACH OTHER ALIIIIVE, not 'teehee you're in my belly :3'

omg yes please draw some gory vore I bet yours would be raaaad

I love vore : x The kind you are talking about that you would like is considered hard vore, for being realistic and more plausible than any of the other kinds. I prefer any kind of vore where you have no pain and don't die or get digested, but sometimes I think that it's a minority preference amongst the few that like it. I believe the main point is the physical sensation of it to the pred or prey or both... So preds usually focus on the wriggling and such, whereas the prey will focus on how they are caught and then encompassed by the throat/stomach.

I have also found that any person I have talked to about what they like have each had a different (even if only slightly) fantasy of what they would prefer. I personally find it annoying to have a fetish that can't possibly happen irl, at least not without death ><; Although I have read disturbing stories about people who would love nothing more than to get snapped in half or torn to pieces by a large creature as an elaborate sort of suicide, and then hope they will burn in an sadistic underworld setting where it happens over and over again @_@ *shiver*

Hard vore = awesome

Maybe it's some sort of reverse birthing fetish thing, or a super duper penetration fixation, where they themselves want to penetrate completely into something. I dunno, those are the only things I've been able to come up with.
I love vore when it's like how Kamilya does it, ie, big detailed mouths. That just looks awesome.
I want to see what you're talking about. I want to see it so badly, I think I may draw some.
