My thoughts on vore? Well, if that’s what you’re into… But I can’t stomach it. ---

I wonder whether these sorts of fetishes have always been with us or if they’re a sign of the times. Were people back in the day getting turned on by Jonah and the whale? Or is there some trigger for it in our modern world? I’ve read first hand accounts where people say they’ve had some odd fetish for a very long time, sometimes obsessing over the imagery before puberty. So it’s not necessarily the case of a burned out adult who needs a car battery and a rubber chicken to get off trying to come up with something new. A popular explanation for furries, for example, is the rise of anthropomorphized cartoon characters in the 20th century. People joke that Disney’s 1973 Robin Hood movie created a whole generation of female furry fans. But what would be an explanation for vore? Attack of the 50 Foot Woman? Kirby? And vore is just one facet of a whole kaleidoscope of perversions out there. There’s a lot of weird sexual imagery in mythology, but is it based on fetishes or a drive to seem otherworldly? Like all these contrived situations where Zeus turns into a bunch of different animals to knock up mortal women. Or turning into “golden rain” and going inside Danaë’s womb. Or how about Kapo’s detachable vagina? I’d like to see the reaction of the crowd when the first priest tried to float that one. A book about the history of fetishes would be interesting to me. Where did they start? Who or what made them popular? Were there fetishes in the past that are no longer popular? Do different cultures have different types of fetishes? And so on. ---

I thought vore was furry porn with one animal fucking and violently attacking/eating the other at the same time. Like a lion fucking a deer as it tore the deer’s stomach open. Really nasty stuff. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > I thought vore was furry porn with one animal fucking and violently attacking/eating the other at the same time. Like a lion fucking a deer as it tore the deer’s stomach open. Really nasty stuff. Uh…nope. My furry friends don’t know where you got that idea. It’s not a subject that comes up that often in my circle. When it does it’s mostly limited to people who fantasize about being eaten. Imagining themselves on a spit, roasting over a fire. Trussed up like the centerpiece of a holiday meal, glazed or crispy skinned, on a platter with an apple in the mouth. Then being carved up and eaten. I didn’t ask how they could see themselves being eaten since the cooking should have made them dead. There are times when even I don’t ask too many questions. I did ask about the origin of the fantasy once. It was the stories of “Darkest Africa” and explorers being eaten by cannibals. This where things started to get weird. They liked the image of being tied up and cooked while naked (or nearly so) dark skinned people danced around them. Then there was something about how being consumed by others was the ultimate form of worship. I dunno. It was like 3 AM by then and I think I was one of the only sober people left in the room. For some reason that’s when all of these types conversations happen. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > Gosh, [I wonder](https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Vorarephilia) where anyone could get the idea of associating vore with furries… First, I can’t believe I actually went and read that. Second, you need to reread it yourself along with my first post. I didn’t say it had nothing to do with furries. I said that the furries I know are unfamiliar with that type of scenario. Not surprising, as your source calls vore a fringe interest held by only 2-5% of the furry fandom. Then there’s this: > [@](#): > > Hard vore describes scenarios where prey is subjected to injuries, being ripped and chewed. This type of vore involves cutting, biting, tearing and usually blood. Although there is \*\*no inherent sexual characteristic \*\*to these actions, to someone with a vore fetish they could be taken in a sexual context. Hard vore has sometimes been referred to as “gore” to separate it from soft vore. Bolding mine. While the variation brought up by **Eyebrows 0f Doom** almost certainly exists, it’s definitely not an accurate description of the entire genre. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go buy an industrial sized jug of Brain Bleach. ---

Anyone here familiar with [Armin Meiwes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes)? From that link: > [@](#): > > Looking for a willing volunteer, Meiwes posted an advertisement on the website The Cannibal Cafe (a blog site for people with cannibal fetishes). Meiwes’s post stated that he was “looking for a well-built 18- to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed.”[2] Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, an engineer from Berlin, then answered the advertisement in March 2001.
