You and Vore: What do you think?
12 years ago
General
Of course I haven't been in the fandom as long as some of our veterans in the fandom, but it doesn't take long to notice some of the main fetishes that occur within it. At this point, I could go off on a tangent about what people see furries and sexuality as, but I won't.
In this little escapade, I'd like to explore a little fetish called Vore. A big one actually, if you count it's popularity. It's something that, like BDSM, branches out into sub fetishes for those who like it clean.. or more rough. I'm not going to tell you what I like, because you can probably tell from what I have in my gallery. What I am going to do is ask you what your opinions are on vore.
Now not necessarily what you prefer in the fetish, or if you like it at all, (even though you can say if you like it or not) but more to what you think it originates from?
It's a question that has been on my mind for a few years now. You can explain why people don't like the sound of knuckles cracking, because on the surface, it sounds gross. If we look deeper, perhaps it triggers the images of bones breaking internally, that, depending on our relationship to the knuckle-cracker, either concerns us about their health, or our own. It's that feeling of the sound of bones breaking, or 'popping' in our brain that turns us away from it, because let's face it, broken bones suck, our bodies naturally avoid things that hurt us.
...Or do they? This is the conundrum when including fetishes. With lines between pain and pleasure standing between each other on a line so needle thin, we ask if our sexuality breaks our bodies natural reactions. Well in truth, we know we can turn pain to pleasure with repetition, and not only within the realms of sexuality. A common sight near South Indian temples is of mendicants piercing their skin and stitching lemons, fruits and vegetables all over their bodies. In Kerala there is a temple where the oracle puts two hooks into his back and hangs himself on a pole. This is also done as a means of recreation within western societies and is known as suspension, a type of body modification. The people who are experienced in this have sensations of extreme pleasure from this.
So where does vore stand? Really, it depends on what type one would go for. Obviously it is completely imaginary, but we know from experiences outside of vore in real life, such as the feel of flesh, and the sound of a heartbeat, what it might be like, and it is that which either turns us to it, or disgusts us. One possible explanation is that for the prey, deep down we feel so strongly towards something, and so trusting towards whatever or whoever that is, that we literally want to become a part of who they are. It is a level of trust that runs so deep, we would give our lives for, or to, our lovers, or who we care about most. It's reminiscent to BDSM, in the way of trusting someone, submitting and being helpless to whatever would come.
Now there branches 2 types of vore. The one with digestion and the one without. Soft and hard vore. When we think of digestion we think of death. But this is within the boundaries of the fandom, and digestion isn't always necessarily the end. There's also permanent vore, where the prey is consumed and not necessarily digested, but kept inside the body... Eternally, and the very concept of this amplifies the imagination.
Soft vore is mainly an aspect of trust. It could also be rooted deeply as an escape from the world. A safe place within someone else taken quite literally. A comfort to us of a guardian that holds us inside. Often what is in reality the act of death and digestion, turns out to be quite the juxtaposition when we analyse what it is here.
And then how is the act of this sexual?
It's a combination of these deeply rooted things we uncommonly think about, as well as the obvious skin-deep concepts that we are attracted to in the first place. It's simply that what we experience in vore is pleasure and sensations of the entire body. Squirming flesh and wetness and pulsing and writhing... When you think about it, Is exactly the same thing as regular vanilla sex. It's just amplified and scaled up until the prey either becomes a sex toy itself or experiences these full body panoramas of stimulating bombardments that we imagine.
Of course most of this is my opinion, and though analysation and reflection of what appears to be going on. I'm sure I've left out more explanations and haven't covered everything, because the fandom is so huge and complex in what it likes, you'd be reading a novel of a journal just to understand all of it. So this is where you come in.
Comment below on what you think of vore, and where it comes from. Why do we like it, and why don't we? Where's the pleasure or fear of the idea come from?
After all, it's just one of many different and sometimes odd fetishes that the Furry fandom likes. Of course we're not going to like all of them at once, there will always be some that seem too disgusting or weird for us to actually enjoy. We all have our ever changing limits on what kinks we like. But still we can appreciate the fact that there are so many out there, and that we have such a variety and abundance of different affections, kinks, loves, and yes, different furaffinities.
Stay unique, and love what you do.

Though that doesn't explain why I always had an interest in butts, even when I was as young as 6 years old. Yeah, not kidding here, I was a very odd child. XD I mixed together vore and butts into the concept of anal vore pretty easily by myself, again before I saw it online.
But when you do vore as a NONE consumption then I see it as Insertion. Where its not being eaten with the purpose of not harming, and releasing later. I have no problem with insertion cause it doesn't involve death or any form of absorption.
For others, such a fatal action, I think, is also the pinnacle of dominance over another creature. Dom/sub roles exist in MANY fetishes and interests, but you can't give much more dominant than having control over somebody's life, and even existence. A consumed prey is immediately shut off from the outside world, and if digestion happens, they're melted away into nutrients and barely anything is left of them afterwards - certainly nothing recognizable. While this can indeed be quite harsh, it also is such a strong form of domination that I can understand why it would be utterly kinky to some.
Speaking as a vore-pred, I generally don't like to digest my prey, because it's a little too 'mean' for my usual style. The rare times that I -do- do it, it's implied to be rather painless, and not permanent; honestly, I only do it because sometimes I like gaining some extra bellyfat from the process. XP Most times though, I just hold my meals in me for a while and let them out later, no harm done. That said, I actually like willing and unwilling prey both equally... For the unwilling prey, you could say I like the challenge/hunt of consuming them, not to mention that I like being mischievous and a bit 'evil'.
But yes, just a bit of my two cents on that subject. XP
I think some people look at the harder vore fetishes, and perhaps vore as a whole, and go 'That person likes THAT? Well, he must be an evil JERK then.' But it's rather unfair, that way of thinking. Vore is ultimately fiction, and fiction exists to be enjoyed as something apart from the mundane existence of real-life. As such, fiction allowing you to act contrary to how you would irl... Well, that's just fun and freeing, isn't it? <:3
The sexual aspect of it is literally the thought to being able to feel someone into himself or receive such situation.
For some is the Know that someone are into you and the prey trusted you so much to allow him to take temporary possession of it. Both as an ultimate form of protection, or as a form of dominance.
For some other is the idea that someone can become one with the predator body. Bonded into a strange connection that will last forever. This latter can happen in a soft way (absorption) or in the hard way (digestion). In the last case, the fatal nature of it would make think as an ultimate act for the predator, or in the predator vision, the ultimate act of possession. The reformation can be view as if the prey has become part of the predator, but he will be able to continue his life as he know that he had give his energy and part of his body for a greater thing.
Said that. My point of view into the vore is really restricted. I'm a predator, and i really like to feel the sensation that i'm going to protecting and making feel someone happy into me. I'm feel really good when the prey trust me enough to let me eat him. I don't like to harm the partner,and i absolutely hate the idea to digest him. Differently for the absorption, the digestion actually kill the partner, (temporary or not) and i can't accept that.
This is also why i absolutely hate all the predator that digest their prey, because some of them just don't care about what they are eating or how unwillingly the prey is. For them it's just a new meal.
This is the reason i play only predator, except with a very very closed friend. i simply don't trust the other people enough to allow him to eat me.
hard vore is a no for me, but most soft vore i can enjoy to a degree
I'm not thinking too much into it as vore is not something that I think about regularly. Hard vore is a simple no-go for me as (Even though I love eating meat) I don't like the idea of taking one's life for pleasure, While soft vore is something that has always made me curious. I reckon that it is an instinct to want to wrap yourself around in the thing that makes you feel the safest, or take shelter within the place that you feel safest.
There is a certain amount of intimacy that goes into sex as well, entrusting that valuable part of you to someone else. While some people don't see the intimacy of entrusting that part of you, I think some people go the other way and want someone else to be able to entrust their entire self to.
That and I'm pretty sure that people thing that if the warm, enclosed feeling that comes with sex is good then putting more inside would feel better?
Incidentally that happens to be the only form of "vore" that I don't find kinda silly.
And I could even imagine vore is a fetish because it is very animalistic. The "normal" human does not consume raw and living creatures. Vore brings us closer to what we may want to be like. Including the nature of a prey that fights back and tries to flee. This stirs up our instincts.
Even if I have rarely seen vore with actually cooking or preparing flesh of your prey/opponent/partner, I assume it would be unusual. In sexual vore you don't usually want to to nourish from it. But what makes it sexual...I would agree it to be a bit of dominance, strength and power. Even the special dynamics between two characters can make it work out.
E.g. I would very much agree to see a battle between my two favorite arch enemies. They have an admiring hate for each other. One of the characters is famous for consuming blood, torturing their enemies and even consuming their bodies. Seeing the two fight, one of them will loose. We will hear and feel the muscles burst, bones crash, and watch as one devours the other. Blood dripping, spread everywhere. It seems to work out properly.
And I say this while not being into vore at all :)
the level of vore I am willing to engage depends on my partners own abilities, but no permanent death/digestion, but accidental swallowing and some singed fur/welts is ok as a plot device. Granted I have a excellent vore trainer and learned a great deal about it, and numerous ways and means to engage in it as well.
Now as to why maybe I originally started enjoying vore? The only possible answers I can think of are how similar it is to being inside your mother's womb, honestly. Wet, warm flesh surrounding one's self with the sound of that heartbeat so loud and clear. It's... Comforting. It is something everyone has experienced, though subconsciously at best if any recollection of it is kept at all. It's all instinctive. Apart from that, I guess I ended up finding it appealing thanks to the usual predator being a dragon of some sort or a reptile.
Facts of why I enjoy vore for certain, though, are easy and clear for me to provide answers. Personally, I love the sight of a gaping, opened, smirking or just barely open maw, heck even closed, dust dripping with drool and saliva hungrily in desire. Fleshy, wet maws are just too attractive, especially when illustrated in all the right ways. Then there is the satisfactory indulgence of the predator gulping down a meal, that nice, somewhat defined if not more defined throat bulge possibly squirming as it slowly travels down. The expression and pleasure of the predator as it gets to enjoy that feeling as its esophagus constricts and relaxes to send the meal down, the size of the meal adding to a sense of pride or pleasure as it travels down so far and becomes harder to swallow, the passage narrower and thus when inevitably swallowed whole gives the predator that extreme sense of relief for it to take a breath of fresh air and relax, contempt with its performance. Not to mention that a nice, rounded out and plush belly is both cute and attractive. All these things can be said to be great feeling to the prey, all the tight, wet, warm sensations of being constricted and gulped down in such a way before having to most likely curl up inside a snug belly that is constantly and slowly massaging against their body.
And as you stated before, it is kind of that whole "Putting one's life in the hands of another" deal. It's a tender moment, letting one's own life be in the grasp of another, and it is in such an unusual way as well, being inside of their body.
Over time I kind of started... letting my walls down and attempted to let things I normally would dislike have at least a chance of showing why they could appeal, and of course some got through but... Still a bit undecided to what extent it is enjoyable, and why I guess. With hard vore, so far, I can really only see appeal in the fact that one individual is being dissolved down to basic nutrition and essentially becomes a part of the others' body, and the feeling/sensation of digesting something of a certain size would probably be equivalent to that of swallowing a big meal, but a lot slower, more tedious and usually with a messy outcome.
One thing I'd definitely like to make a highlight or essential quality that I personally think vore needs is a certain amount of emotion and expressions, both facially as well as bodily gestures and such. It just becomes a bit lackluster when it feels like to mannequins are eating each other without any emotion.
This has been a "Why the fuck does Chimera like vore so much" session brought to you by; Chimera itself! What a surprise! Next week - Cockvore/Unbirth, anal vore and tail vore! (It's really a lie, a lot of the subjects touched on apply to these as well with a few differences in exactly how they proceed, but most can put together what differences there are and put two and two together, yeah? Who knows, maybe there is some untouched on material that needs to be verbally expressed.)
I hope this helps sate your curious thoughts on vore. Thanks for the opportunity to express myself about my favorite thing. : >
Also, Vore is actually possible in real life. And what I mean possible, I mean that you wouldn't die right away if you were swallowed. Stomach acids take time to activate, on some animals might take hours even. You would die sooner out of oxygen then digested, although that would be easily fixed with oxygen tanks.
Same goes for anal vore, there there isn't even acids, only cause of death would be lack of oxygen, once again fixed by oxygen tanks.
BUT, obviously you still can't do it. There are very few animals on this planet that can eat you whole, and if they do, you will probably die. So It's technically possible with the right circumstances, but on the other hand is not possible. Unless you might have a death wish and that is the way you wanna go.
But let us stretch our minds. Imagine if some intelligent species existed which were bigger then us(ex: Dragons), maybe if you had a strong relationship with one, and you both knew the risks and the plan, this would become very possible.
Knowing these facts, makes me enjoy vore and specially anal vore(which is my favorite) even more. I know it can be done, but at the same time It can't.
Although vore scares, when there is death, pain, or even everything starts alright and the one that ate the other, does not spit the other out and actually lets him be digested. That to me, is very scary.
Why people like it and others don't? I would say it's a matter of tastes, I like blue they like red.
Just one more thing: There ain't nothing wrong with liking vore or any other fetish for that matter. Only thing everyone needs to do, is respect and understand. As long, your tastes and other peoples tastes don't disrupt other people's freedom or hurt them, I can respect them all.
One could call that animal abuse though. I don't think the gator would care too much though, especially if you gave him a big helping of food (food he can actually digest, that is ;P) after it was all done. That said, the inside of a gator isn't the cleanest place, but I think a very hot shower post-voring would fix that up right fine.
...Yeah, I'm a weirdo. XD I've thought about this a lot.
I have things I like and dislike, even things I revile, but I don't hate on people that like such things, or hate on the fetish I don't like; I just try to avoid it and not throw a fit if I run into it by accident. I think this is something a lot of people don't do, as it requires quite a bit of maturity and restraint...and well, furries can be furries. I make mention of all this because I notice some of the comments you've received in this journal, and notice just how...un-accepting...a handful of your commenters are. I certainly respect their dislike of certain things; it's just a shame they don't also respect the liking of those things that others may have.
As for the subject of vore...it's been something that's been deep-rooted in my thoughts since I was probably around 6 years old. I always found it fascinating, the idea of consuming living creatures, though it took some years before fascination developed into more cognitive categories. In truth, I've been involved in vore for so long that I've experienced it in quite a few ways. Soft, hard. Oral, anal, unbirthing, etc. Willing, unwilling. Sexual, clean. There's so much variation in the subject that simply saying one likes 'vore' is sort of a basic description, like saying you like 'movies' without telling what sort of movies you like.
I think there's generally always a place for certain situations of vore. Kind of depends on one's mood, who one is doing it with, and so on. That's the nice thing about something so diverse, and indeed, flexible; it can fit into nearly any situation, depending on what the participants desire at the time.
As for me... I do like to do it a myriad of ways, but my favorite way is liking willing, soft vore. Generally done with the predator essentially protecting the prey within their body, no harm being caused at all to either party by the experience. Sexual pleasure can result as well, being caught in such a slick and soft place, or it can be perfectly clean at times. While I like many things, I always find loving, caring situations to be my favorite; there's already plenty of nastiness in the world, so expressing kindness and love - yes, even while performing a weird fetish - is always my favorite activity. Corny as that may sound. XD
Thank you, Charem. I really enjoyed hearing your side of things after seeing you around and about so much as well as, in my opinion, being one of the more notable participants of vore.
...
I'm just gonna go back to silently stalking this journal now, please excuse me.
<3
Honestly, and ultimately, vore is fiction, and fiction exists and is enjoyed because it is entertaining, absorbing, fun, and/or most of all, different from the mundane-ness of real-life. Vore should always be enjoyed by all parties, however they choose to do it...violently, gently, whatever. ^^
Precisely, and some individuals just don't seem to grasp that notion whatsoever. Glad to see some do, though. ^v^
Some people can still see that, even if they may not like vore themselves. Others, I think, limit themselves in their thinking willfully. Sadly, I've run into too many furries that act like their opinions on fetishes is word of god, and act like what they like/dislike is what -everybody- should like/dislike. Of course, nearly all furries, them included, like something that somebody else could call 'weird'. I wish they could see what hypocrites they're being.
I don't find anything appealing about hard core vore or anal vore or even cock vore. For me personally it's just soft oral vore that I go for; and even then it's more a form of macro/micro maw/oral play rather than vore.
I think for the most part, vore came into being as more of some macro/micro oral fetish, meaning that before the term or idea of actual 'vore' came into being. If you think about it, there's only so much one could be able to accomplish sexually between a macro and micro fur/person. That's just what I think personally because of the fact that there's still a vastly superior number of oral vores than any other kind of vore (anal/cock)
Again going back to my personal feelings of the matter, I find the kind of vore I like as a...shall we say, overkill form of a blowjob. I don't really have any kind of professional outlook on vore. I never really thought this far ahead about it lol. Like I've said, for me personally it's just more about my overall love of any and all things oral. There's probably some other people out there that think the same way as I do so in that sense, I can understand. But I just simply can't form an opinion on why other people would be interested in cock vore or anal vore and certainly not hard vore. I can make one small stipulation about hard vore though in that people who like hard vore may also have a bit of a thing for necrophilia... But I'm just completely stipulating here, I'm not stating anything as a fact or trying to form stereotypes.
Regardless, vore is no fetish of mine. I just dislike anything not (theoretically) physically possible and I bet this goes for a lot of people.
Liking something that's theoretically possible is perfectly normal. Realism can make a situation so much more sexy, to anyone. It's what everything, including fiction is based upon.
But the trust part of it. Needing to trust your friend and mate enough to be consumed by them. A safe place for you to hide from the world. Listening to a comforting body. We all have layed our heads and napped on or with our dogs and cats. If not, grab your furry friend and try it. It is pleasent to hear the heartbeat and them in general since they love the attention. And cats purr around you anyways. It sounds interesting. Then to imagine being in the softest place you can be in. Like new fancy bed. new comforter and blankets. a new hoodie or socks. Those kind of feelings. Around you.
So this is where it can be comforting and without being dissolved, pleasent. Assuming you aren't living with one who eats you for the fun of it and forgets that you still held onto the remote controler to the tv.
Hard vore is different. I wouldn't want to rp my own character being bitten and eaten alive. Maybe a side one or if I write a dark story. Yeah theres only a few ways do actually do it when you are with species that are not vore species. Sorry anthros. But get the hell away from trying to eat others. Bad enough you have balls the size of a horse and a cock and knot to rival as well. but do the math. You weigh about 150 pounds. A horse over 400. The blood comes from somewhere and the things have no endurance to make a knot work without you passing out from losing blood the rest of your body needs. Vore species like snakes or really large dragons are able to have the ability to pass you through. Unless you want to throw up a massive mass of someone or you can stretch that much to get em out. <my main gripe about vore>
But back to hard vore. I like this when it is for the symbolic part. Like you and another were trapped. No food, and you have to take snow and let it melt in your mouth to get your fluids. After a while you need to eat. And you then offer yourself to say... a large gryphon. That way you may live on as long as the other is alive. since your nutrients sustain them and they incorporate you into their cells. Better for stories and horror than it is for normal interaction
Soft vore can be fun or comical. Maybe after enough times, your snack wises up and brings a light to read with. Like a little random thing. As opposed to consuming your room mate.
Also easier with potions that shrink you down for 24 hours and protects you from normal digestion.
I find that people who approach more realistic situations and find them more sexy are completely the opposite of being void of imagination. As goes for the people who like unrealistic aspects. Hell even I tend to dip there on occasion. Everyone is different, and people who cognitively focus more on feelings and touch will gravitate towards liking something more impossible in the real world. But that's the great thing about the fandom, we live in another world, and we love it.
Still might be pleasurable for those who have grown to like 'eternal rape'. People wouldn't like it if they didn't like it. I don't like it, but I like learning why.
I think hard vore is not that way for everybody though. Some people simply do it because it's the most realistic form of vore, and it's simply an action of feeding for a pred. There's no contempt or pleasure (beyond filling one's stomach) from it; it's just the food chain. Just like a lion doesn't kill a zebra because it hates the zebra and wants to hurt it, but it just kills it because the lion's hungry and the zebra's viable food.
My two cents, anyways. ;P
But it sounds like you're addressing those extreme examples, so I guess that's agreeable-to.
Vore in general is a Fatal thing that happen to you, if something catches you to eat you and do so, you're Doomed, End.
Thats how i hold on it, maybe thats the main thing i like on it too... if i catch you, you're Mine! if that happends if im hungy, most times it do, youre dead, cause youre the one thing i need to satisfy my needs, Simple. The other things that i like to do to you, the prey, in that moment may be pure torture... as i said above i growed sick with that fetish, hehehe X3
Cant really explain how i get stuck to Vore, because i always had an strange interest in those, as far as i can remember.
I love to hunt down my prey, overpovering it and make it mine, in several ways maybe XP, thats what comes more in focus latetly specially while RPing.
just my weird thoughs on that "Weird" fetish.... XD
Also, this tend to be hypocrisy on their part. Because I believe, almost without exception, that every person likes something kind of odd. Oftentimes people will keep it to themselves, for one reason or another, but the interest is still undoubtedly there. (Heck, even as open as I can be, I have a couple things I've never tell anybody I like either.)
But it wasnt that way i meant ^^ it was just the fact that most ppl belief for themselfs vore is some kind of showing love to others or so or somethin non fatal. ^^
I said that im weird because im on of the fews thats seems to be fully into the real vore, the hardcore version XD
i mean i like Vore here as a fetish in RPs as real as possible ^^
for me i like it ,yeah i am a sicko i know... :D
and i think vore is like some other things a evolutonary by-product of sentient beings , a mix off things that are originally not intended like this.
I see fetishes a bit differently. for me, vore is less of a sexual thing and more of a horror thing. The terror of being consumed... I mean, it's one of our primal fears, isn't it? And I enjoy horror and squicky things in art because it's a safe place to experience such things. Real life gore freaks me out, and I will never want to kill anything, but in art it's an exploration of forbidden territory.
That's the best I can explain it. I do like other types too, but I really don't know how to explain why I like it. Sometimes I think I like it just because it's so bizarre.
(I think I ought to mention that I don't RP with any kind of fetish, vore or otherwise. Fetish RP is uncomfortable territory for me.)
Damn phone update...
"Squirming flesh and wetness and pulsing and writhing... When you think about it, Is exactly the same thing as regular vanilla sex. It's just amplified and scaled up until the prey either becomes a sex toy itself or experiences these full body panoramas of stimulating bombardments that we imagine."
It's likely that unbirthing also originates from this. In both cases it also probably is about "getting close" (literally) to someone. It is rather intimate to be inside someone (although also quite unsafe).
Soft vore is being swallowed whole, no biting, tearing, blood, etc and is considered the 'norm' for vore.
Hard vore is being eaten alive, usually hunted, pinned, ripped open, eviscerated with claws and teeth, etc.
What you think of vore?
As an act, sexual or otherwise, vore is just a means to an end to me. I have nothing against it but there is very little out there that I completely avoid. I've played both predator and prey and both sides of the coin have its appeal.
Where dose it comes from?
Where dose any fetish come from? Its a strange and taboo thing and that in itself makes it a desirable thing to try. Its origins come from our daily lives, we feed to survive so its only difference is your willingly eating (or being eaten as) a sentient creature who understands what it is to be devoured. Its not something we can experience in real life so its something we can only touch on through digital means. I think the furry community has a greater hand in the fetish mostly because of the animalistic nature we embrace.
Why do we like it?
Well its taboo nature grants it an automatic bonus. If sex were just some thing you did instead of this thing society tries to sweep under the carpet, fucking and all its weird fetishes wouldn't have as great a hold on our lives XP
But pertaining to vore in particular; as predator you have complete control over your partner, their lives are in your paws. That alone is worth experiencing if you are the dominant kind. Even as the ultra protective kind, being able to take someone inside you and keep them hoarded is lots of fun.
As prey the opposite is true, you give all control over to the one dominating you whether you want to or not. To some the thought of being reduced to little more than food is *koff* deliciously appealing ;P
Why don't we?
Thats entirely up to the individual. Its impossible to determine why someone likes the idea of being pissed on while another squaffs at the notion but totally enjoys being bound up and used as a fucktoy- both confer the same emotional response of submission but one you like and one you dont.
To vore specifically, I expect it has a lot to do with fear of death or fear of the unknown and, to some, probably even the fear of losing control. In the end that which makes us different is what makes the world interesting ^_^
However I will say that, in the realm of fantasy, being intolerant to the point of haterid at something like rape, gore, incest or even cub seems strange to me. Using the digital medium to explore my involuntary carnal passions is FAR better than the alternative of letting them build up with the wonder of "what would it be like". -Sorry, tangent XP
Where's the pleasure or fear of the idea come from?
To this, again, I think happens to revolve mostly around the dominant/submissive play. There really isnt anything more powerful than controlling the life of someone else or more submissive than being helpless to the whims of your predator. Beyond that, just like some people find the idea of a vampire bite to be arousing, so do some people find the idea of sliding down another's throat to be appealing even though both, in technical terms, would be disasterous for you.
Now I will quantify that most of this relates more to soft vore rather than hard vore. Hard vore is almost entirely a gore fetish which is a whole other subject XP
For that same reason I tend to think soft vore is generally ridiculous. It's cartoonish and not something a real dragon would ever do unless they wanted to get their insides clawed apart. (and were made of rubber.) I do respect that plenty of people have the fetish but it's not something I really understand, especially from the prey side.. I just see it as people happily diving to their deaths. o_O
But yes, soft vore is ridiculous. ;P I think that can be said for a lot of furry fetishes that often never take into account things like...I dunno, organs. XD Some can embrace the strangeness, others can't. Me? I love strange things, and always have. <3
But I can certainly respect your dislike for it, especially seeing as you respect my like for it. That's ultimately all that matters!
Prey-acquisition is exciting - but not in a sexual way.
The feeling of eating is also exciting, but I don't link it to sex. It's that as a biological process and physical sensation, eating is pleasurable in and of itself in a different way.
I don't draw the line between "hard" vore and "soft" vore at digestion.
To me, if the prey is alive and whole when they're eaten, that's "soft" vore, whether or not they're digested. What I would label as "hard vore" ... prey-acquisition involves a hunt and a kill, then the consumption of that prey, if necessary in easily swallowed pieces.
From an artistic perspective, I like full bellies, and the bulge of a throat that's filled with food; it's aesthetically pleasing to look at, because it brings to mind the sensations of having had a good meal.
I am not an "eaten". I have one and only one exception, and that is based entirely on "it's the closest to that individual I can get in an RP sense, being surrounded on all sides by him."
Very rarely is non-fatal vore written or pictured in a way that makes any semblance of sense and as such i can't generally get into it. I mean insertion sure, surviving a trip into an orifice other than the mouth fine and dandy, but unless you get regurgitated the mouth is a one way trip.
Non-fatal vore is as incomprehensible to me as hyper-herms and inflation-transformation, so I'm speaking from a fatal-only viewpoint. I do love me some psychoanalysis.
So, why vore? Let me count the ways:
As predator: You are the Alpha. You have emerged victorious. You have instilled fear. You have satisfied your craving. You have dominated. You are satiated. Your existence assuredly continues. You have destroyed. You are clearly worthy of respect. You have (perhaps honorably) disregarded the feelings of others in pursuit of your own ends.
As prey: You are dominated. You may be at peace, for your fate is not your own. You have served to the best of your ability. You tried your best, and need try no more. You are aware that your end approaches. You feel: not just pain, but raw Terror in its purest form. You cannot know what is next (is this the End of Me?). Your identity is nothing; you are exposed as naught but meat. You are the unlucky one among many.
