Ask a Voraphile (possibly disturbing)

[Flamezdudes]

For some reason this thread brought to mind when Cell in Dragon Ball Z swallowed people alive with his tail. OP, have you ever seen that and if so how did it actually make you feel?

It may be a little specific but do you... give yourself sexual pleasure (if you know what i mean) when imagining these fantasies then?

I haven't seen that scene, but tail vore is a thing, so I imagine some people have.

As for the second part, through role-play, drawings, things like that.

Ah well here is a scene from the anime, tell me your thoughts on it and if you don't wish to say it in this thread then send me a PM.

 

[figment of mind]

Has there ever been someone who has roleplayed as a kirby-like being in a vore thread and am i right to assume that people like that are shuned by the general community?

Just seems to me that someone would take offence to that within your community.

 

[zombiejoe]

I'm not into vore myself, but I have observed the fetish in art. And I have noticed that while some is, dare I say, "cute" in its idea, being somewhat "funny" about it, others are pretty gruesome, with it going in detail of the prey's death.


So, what is more liked by vorephiles? Stuff that is "dark" or "light"? And which do you like more?

 

[Grospoliner]

This was my first thought.

[FrostyChick]

I have a few.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

What is the answer to life, the Universe and everything?

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Do you get turned on by blood?

 

[Plucky]

Surprised that theres people whos into Vore over here...wonder if you know/are from the Portal.

The digestion is sort offputting, im more into the consensual side of things, where the prey is simply being UB'd, or perhaps by breasts or even sinking into the pred like they're made of slime.

Though if fetishes are closely ralated, they WILL cross...Slimegirls, Naga...maybe even Lycra/latex creatures/people...maybe even transformation fetishes. :X

EDIT: maybe even the feeling of being restrained or protected.

 

[Matthew Dunn]

I understand now

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Tell me about the emotions you feel when you're "indulging"/fantasizing.

Emotion wise, it's had to say. I love the feeling of a predator/prey dynamic, sort of a natural cycle type thing.

In your fantasies, are your victims/prey willing or unwilling to be eaten?

Depends. I like a mix of both, but I hate pleading when it comes to unwilling, it makes me feel terrible. So they're unwilling, but more resigned than paniced, or they deserved it somehow.

When the fantasy eating is complete, what do you feel?

It's not so much domination as satisfaction. The prey is going to be digested and sort of become part of me (not in a mental way, but there would be some slight, temporary weight gain). I also love the permanence of it.

Does eating a person dehumanize them, or invalidate them as a person? Or does it bring you closer to them/connect with them?

That depends on whether it's willing or unwilling, and how I feel about the prey in general. So, both.

It seems significant to me that the fantasy is about swallowing the prey whole, rather than chewing or otherwise destroying him/her. Would you agree? Do you think the fantasy would be ruined if there was a lot of blood/body parts, if your teeth were mangling his/her body, etc?

Any other insights you have would fall on eager ears.

I like swallowing whole and such, but others are into "hard" vore, which is all that the name implies.

As for as other insights, I like when vore is implied to be a natural thing (it can be rare, though), when the predator does it frequently, and that it's permanent (ie fatal).

Snip

Thank you.

And I thought people looked at me weird whenever I admit to having a huge love for lolis ._. So tell me mr, how did you find it out, what was your first experience with voraphile?

Certain fairy-tales were very interesting to me as a child. As for the actual name and knowing it was a thing, that comes from an old cracked article about weird fetishes, and subsequent googling.

That is VERY interesting! So when transferring the sex act to digestion, the female/vaginal role becomes the dominant one and the male/phallic becomes submissive.

I'd love to see the OP's take on this, and where he, as a male pred, falls.

This is like the third or fourth time I've quoted you. Sorry for that.

Anyway, not being schooled in Freudian theory, I can't say. It sounds vaguely right, but that's all I can add without sounding stupid. A lot of people make the S&M connection, but not as much myself.

Do you consider your fetish disgusting, or do you think about how other people view it?

I don't consider it disgusting, but I could see how others might.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Through role-play, stories, pictures, etc.

Thanks for answering my question, and do people treat you differently when/ if they find out?

 

[orangeban]

Hola fellow kinkster! Hope you have fun in the realm of the weird!

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Stupid voraphiles... giving us cannibals a bad name my making us seem like perverts...

OT: Hey there Mr. Voraphile. Not one myself, but like most odd fetishes I've seen, I figure it's fine so long as nobody ends up hurt. Did not know about the pred/prey thing though, not that surprised though as it seems to just be a specialization of the dom/sub roles other fetishes have.

Other than that, I don't really have much to say. Have fun I guess, from another person interested in the odder fetishes.

 

[DarkRyter]

Perhaps you have the soul of the snake, but were born as a person.

SNAKE BORN.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Do you think I'd taste good?

*licks self*

I think Im delicious. But I want a proffessional opinion

 

[Plucky]

If it's any consolation Irony's Acolyte, the connection between cannibalism and vore are only related to eating people, on the one hand cannibalism is the desire to devour people, Vore is the arrousal of being devoured or devouring something...Vore is basically limited to fantasy due to the impossibility of it, except for maybe gummy worms and live goldfish. (seems a bit cruel to let a creature die slowly :x)


And it's not the first time that a fetish has either been blurred or displaced, Zentai's connotations and origins are being plastered over by some guy making suits called Morphsuits...basically the guy deletes any references to Zentai on his Facebook page and stamps the word Morphsuits on the back of the suit to advertise... :x

 

[Chicago Ted]

Why do you feel that your fetish is distinct enough to make you appear as though you have professional or meaningful insight on a matter?

I'm sorry, but these threads really do need to stop. Perhaps those that are in regards to a career, or some form of real distinction (ie, cop for career, disability (something like paraplegic I mean) for distinction), do hold some real insight and information in regards to how it differentiates their life from mine, but what exactly is it about this topic in particular that makes you different enough from a normal person to warrant a thread devoted to this topic?

To me, the purpose of this thread serves to only to try and draw attention to oneself through minimal distinction (though, this entire genre, the Ask a _______, are notorious in my mind for that). You do not need to showcase the inner workings of yourself and to justify and explain why you are like this. Ones that show case personal views are the worst for this as they are perhaps the least distinctive of all, and the things that get you off are included under that umbrella.

You know, between your post and your avatar (Mr. T punching a pony - shamelessly and pointlessly abrasive) you seem pretty ignorant and shallow. But ignorance isn't even the worst problem; you're projecting your own flaws on the OP in the fact that you belittle the attention-grabbing aspect of his thread. True, part of why he's doing this is for attention, but it's also an interesting subject to many of us. To me you seem like more of an attn whore than the OP; the difference is he's successful at it and you're jealous. And for the record, he didn't come off as an attn whore to me, at all.

First off, to go with the avatar, it's something I found funny. Mostly to do with how many ponies people now use as avatars, I found it funny to have one where the pony is being punched.

Then again, you've already shown you're the type of person to call others shallow and petty, while you judge them based on their avatars. I especially like the part as well where you try to spin it on me being shallow and jealous, when you're the one throwing mud. Way to go champ!

And if you read the edit to what I put in earlier (note, I did edit it right after posting to try to not come off sounding like an insensitive ass), I am in NO WAY holding this against the OP based on beliefs or ignorance. I am saying that this style of thread is rather annoying because of how little distinction it now holds from everyday life. How different is one person who is a vore, from one who isn't? Let's pull up some everyday pictures to show this difference.

A typical person without voraphilic interests:

Spoiler: Typical Person:

Now, person who is interested in voraphile:

Spoiler: Voraphile:

At least the difference between me and an astronaut would look something like this.

Spoiler: Astronaut:

And I'd be able to ask things because of it.

Ones that show case personal views are the worst for this as they are perhaps the least distinctive of all, and the things that get you off are included under that umbrella.

Edit: Oh, and don't take this for discrimination or anything such as that. Take this as a rant against this style of thread, and the fact that they are holding less and less actual value the more I see them, especially when they are in the case of individual beliefs and ideals, and not about things that are far different that what I would experience in everyday life.

For one thing, there isn't much in the way of "professional" insight for vore at all. The wikipedia page is pathetic, and as far as I know there haven't been any studies on it.

And from quite a few other threads, people don't know anything about it. So I thought I might as well find out if anyone has any questions. If nobody did, the thread would die and not bother anyone. If people had questions, then they could ask them, I don't see why you feel the need to complain. Obviously, there are other people who were curious enough to ask, so why do you feel the need to complain (and by doing so, bumping the thread)

Now, OP, it's not like I have a problem with any of the content in this thread (at least not in the sense of discrimination and such. You like this stuff, woot, more power to you to, enjoy it), but the simple reason that I don't see a point for it existing. Look at the first five questions, and most are one line responses, or a gag question. The only one that has anything to do with the subject matter, you don't even have a straight answer for:

This is very strange.

So you as a prey want to swallow people...alive?
Colour me confused.

A prey wants to be eaten, a pred wants to swallow. But otherwise, yes. I don't know why either, to be honest.

Even you don't have an answer for a fairly basic question such as this, because it is subjective, and thus, there is little real answer for it in the first place.

The questions posed by this are pretty dull, and honestly, when you take a step back, they don't have much to even respond with. The questions and the answers are entirely personal, and thus subjective. This in turn means that they are only relevant to you, and do not really contain any real knowledge that could be applied to the subject as a whole. Aside from the definition of vore, and the distinction that you include between prey and predators at the start, there is little real information being spread by this thread. Most of your answers here consist of "That can be the case, but this can also be the case, so both are correct really". This is where my annoyance comes in, and this is why I complained. Frankly though, I don't really care how much attention this gets, or if it even bumps it. I see these threads often enough that I know they won't be going away any time soon, so for once I will indulge in them only to speak out on why I do not like them.

To pretty much put it in perspective, making a thread to explain why you have a fetish for something is in the same vein as me making a thread on why I like purple, or why I'd vote Republican. There is little real information in this other than the views held by one person. I do not see any actual experience, or lessons to be learned from this thread. The only thing that I'm going to come out of this with is the distinction between the prey and predator aspect. Aside from that, there has been little actual information on the subject brought up because there is little to bring up in the first place that sets it apart.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Needless to say, analysis of such things from a Freudian perspective is always controversial and never all that conclusive. That said, it seems to me that one could draw on the metaphor of the act of swallowing as having some similarity to sex, the throat serving as a vagina, and the entity being consumed serving as the phallic entity. Only here the act is fully embodied, at least for the male entity.

To hypothesize even further, one could say that might account for why so called "preds" are not generally male, most males don't have vaginal fantasies. This might explain the fantasy for the "prey," to literally become a penis in the act of coitus, strange as it might sound, would probably feel overwhelmingly good.

As for the "pred," it does seem an inverse on the typical female role. To put it in the tastelessly blunt wording of Freudian analysis, here the act of "swallowing" becomes an act of empowerment. While there are many exceptions, and they are becoming more common in our society as patriarchal society has begun to decline, the historical role of the female in society has been submissive. But embodied in the fantasy of the "pred" is a reversal of these power roles. The act of coitus becomes one of dominance in which they, quite literally, devour their prey.

What would you say, OP, in response to a Freudian analysis of this nature?

That is VERY interesting! So when transferring the sex act to digestion, the female/vaginal role becomes the dominant one and the male/phallic becomes submissive.

I'd love to see the OP's take on this, and where he, as a male pred, falls.

Well, assuming that the hastily scrawled Freudian analysis of an armchair psychologist has any validity. There are a lot of qualifiers in there, and one could hardly say that my hypothesis is anything but that, a hypothesis.

Still, like you I think it'd have been interesting to see the OP's response. Not that I blame him for not having responded. One of the biggest reasons for which Freudian analysis fell out of style is because people just didn't like hearing it. It's rarely ever flattering, and if it's true, then it forces us to face things about ourselves that we don't want to admit to anyone, nonetheless to the world. In the context of my analysis, the male OP could simply have a power fantasy (they aren't at all uncommon amongst peoples of either gender, even though none of us likes to think that we get off on dominating others), or could have a combination of some gender role fantasies and power fantasies. Like I said, those aren't flattering things to think one has.

It should probably be taken as a lesson in why one doesn't spill their darkest shit on the internet... primarily because amateur psychologists like myself will come along and change the context of the conversation.

I'm sorry my response wasn't satisfactory, but it stems from ignorance not reluctance. All I know of Freudian theory is that sexuality is shaped by things we're exposed to, and even that is probably a hideous misunderstanding. There is a definite domination side to vore, but beyond that I can't really respond. Maybe if you asked in the simplest, most basic terms possible I'd be able to understand.

For some reason this thread brought to mind when Cell in Dragon Ball Z swallowed people alive with his tail. OP, have you ever seen that and if so how did it actually make you feel?

It may be a little specific but do you... give yourself sexual pleasure (if you know what i mean) when imagining these fantasies then?

[/quote]

It's not really my thing. I prefer oral vore, and it just doesn't really appeal to me. I know some people who'd love it though, so you aren't off the mark. A better scene would be the opening of Men In Black 2.

I'm also a bit of an observer, so female preds can be a turn on provided they aren't eating me.

Has there ever been someone who has roleplayed as a kirby-like being in a vore thread and am i right to assume that people like that are shuned by the general community?

Just seems to me that someone would take offence to that within your community.

What do you mean by Kirby like? The shape, or the power absorbing thing? I don't think anyone would be offended, we're fairly accepting. Stones, glass houses and all that.

I'm not into vore myself, but I have observed the fetish in art. And I have noticed that while some is, dare I say, "cute" in its idea, being somewhat "funny" about it, others are pretty gruesome, with it going in detail of the prey's death.


So, what is more liked by vorephiles? Stuff that is "dark" or "light"? And which do you like more?

It seems a bit of a split. The more standard division is soft (swallowing whole) and hard (not whole). I like soft vore, but as for light or dark, it depends on my mood. Sort of a fusion (whimsically dark) is my usual cup of tea.

I have a few.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

What is the answer to life, the Universe and everything?

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Do you get turned on by blood?

In order, it depends on it's work ethic, 42, Spongebob and no. Some people do, however.

Surprised that theres people whos into Vore over here...wonder if you know/are from the Portal.

The digestion is sort offputting, im more into the consensual side of things, where the prey is simply being UB'd, or perhaps by breasts or even sinking into the pred like they're made of slime.

Though if fetishes are closely ralated, they WILL cross...Slimegirls, Naga...maybe even Lycra/latex creatures/people...maybe even transformation fetishes. :X

Shh... don't mention the portal. Don't want to scare the normal people...

I know. I'm just joking around. I know some about vore already, having seen artwork for it before.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

I like these threads because it makes my occasional porn fetishes seem much less weird. I always found the concept of being eaten alive (swallowed whole) fascinating, but never in a sexual way. Seems too uncomfortable. Ever read the whole Boba Fett in the sarlacc pit expanded universe stuff?

[Scabious]

I am a macrophile. That means I am sexually attracted to giants, more specificly female giants, giantesses. Many like a violent, downright cruel giantess, but I like almost specificly kindness. Not that there is anything wrong with the majority, which is violent. I have no problem with the vore community but one. Whenever I look up the commen keywords, "Gentle Giantess" I always get plenty of vore. Vore writers and artist, writers espiecially, always start, tag, or throw in as a plot device "gentle giantess". Many of us complain, but there are so many vorophiles and not as many "gentle" fans. Have you ever even heard of this problem? Many haven't, so I was just wondering if you have, and if you agree with me.

What would you say, OP, in response to a Freudian analysis of this nature?

I don't really think so, the whole 'prey' angle seems fairly submissive, and the attraction could be from what they see as the ultimate service they can perform, or from the 'preds' perspective, the most dominating action performable.
