Like a lot of fantasies, I’d rate it as harmless unless you actually try to make it a reality. But that’s true of lots of fantasies. > [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Does vore include the fantasy of surviving the digestive process, being entombed in feces and excreted from the other end, or is that considered a separate fetish? There’s a fair number of variations on the idea. In some versions that happens, in others the victim is harmlessly expelled back out the mouth, in others they merge with the eater, in others they are just chewed up and die, in others it’s not even the mouth that does the “eating” but some other orifice. There’s the “sucked into the penis and converted into semen” variation for example. ---

> [@cjackson](#): > > I have a vore fetish. I fantasize about being shrunk down to a small enough size to be swallowed alive by a woman I find appealing. I want to feel powerless in her stomach and be burned by her gastric juice. As an example, let’s say the woman I am being eaten by is Kourtney Kardashian. That’s basically my specific vore fetish in a nutshell. What are your thoughts? Hey, if that’s your fantasy, have fun with it! (I have seen vore-related images on the “Deviant Art” website.) I have some odd fetishes, myself. I figure a large chunk of the population has some kind of odd sexual kink. As long as you aren’t hurting anybody, so what? ---

This is all just odd art anime so its fans are anime fans. I’ve seen it an laughed at it, but that’s all. Personally, I find it almost as strange that this thread keeps getting bumped and keeps showing up in my recent threads search results. Its almost as if a small handful of people are obsessed with it. ---

According to [this](http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/man-who-desired-to-be-eaten-by-a-large-dominant-woman-a-baffling-case-for-toronto-psychiatric-hospital-doctors) article, Vorarephilia is the black orchid of kink, which makes it sound kinda cool. What I don’t like about it is the mix of Latin and Greek. ---

I’m really into the thought of being swallowed alive by a newlywed. I think of being digested by a bride on her wedding night, or on her honeymoon as being heaven on earth. ---

Lots of people have weird fantasies and Kinks. Generally there’s nothing wrong with that as long as it’s limited to fantasy, or maybe role play with a consenting adult. But it’s poor form to inflict the gruesome details of your kink to a bunch of people who really don’t want to know about it. ---
