That is not how common works. Something isn't common when you have to look for a explicit place to find it. That's finding a niche, not common. *facepalm*
Fetishes
are niche, and you do have to look for most of them. I meant more common than you might expect for a fetish. Common is an entirely relative term. Sorry if you misunderstood the context.
Not to mention, vores tend to not announce themselves because of potential reactions like yours.

What is supposedly harmless or a simple ''quirk'' (really?...without words) about being aroused by the idea of devouring a person or being devoured? That is not harmless. It is not a simple quirk. Locking the bathroom door when alone is a quirk. Not fantasizing about eating someone for fucks sake. At this point I'd also like to state that, you being not only a vora but also a furry, doesn't exactly make you the best judge of what is common or a quirk. Ofcourse you'll disagree, but then again, you're afflicted. Also...what exactly does locking myself in a box and being tossed into a lake have to do with being tied to the bed, being the submissive partner in bed. I'm really missing where you are coming from with that, sounds like something entirely different, sounds alot like pure stupidity...or a failed magic trick.
I may be a vore and a furry (by technical definition, I don't buy into the lifestyle crap), but I have a life, friends, family, and an internet connection. I can observe the world just as well as you with your bondage fetish. We are equal observers of the world, but it's only natural that we have differing opinions.
Afflicted... Never been called that before. I'll have to put that in my notebook.
Nihil novi sub sole. I'm not making that up, claustrophilia is an entirely real fetish (rule 34b: Everything is somebody's fetish). And it's related to bondage. By your own argument, you should check it out with a professional's help. For all you know, your fetish for submission and self-restriction could expand to horrible self harm, due to lessening feelings of self-worth from being trodden over constantly and willingly. Although, locking yourself in a box and suffocating is a pretty extreme thing. Just about as extreme as hunting down and eating someone. And of course you would never do something so extreme, because that would be ridiculous and totally outside your character. So perhaps your argument is invalid. If not, get thee to a physician.

Of course not. I haven't been trying to state anything other then that. What I have been stating is that nobody can know how exactly they will live with it over time. Reason enough to talk to a professional, even if just to find out where it is coming from, it's not about being healed or something, it's about understanding it instead of shrugging when the question of ''Why?'' comes up. Like I said, I like being tied to the bed from time to time and I know why. Do you have much of a clue as to why you like this? And I don't mean the feeling it gives you, indulgence is not the answer to this question.
Why? I already sort of answered that in an earlier post, but I'll elaborate. What interests me in sex is the idea of the body working like a well-oiled, squishy machine. I love the thought of each organ doing its own part in a step-by-step process. It's so base and primal and natural. That's the foundation of all my turn-ons. Vore satisfies that because it's about getting closer and exploring more of those organs all doing their functions all around you. Death and murder doesn't factor into it anywhere. Fluids and squishiness do. I look at a girl having sex, and think about what the guy's doing inside her, the biological processes going on. That's just how my brain is wired. I naturally analyze things. I like to look at how things work, and it makes me feel satisfied. It's my dominant inner scientist.
Also, vore, due to its inherently illogical nature, is an absolute sandbox for ignoring countless laws of biology, anatomy, sociology, chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, theoretical astrophysics, and dentistry. You can take all the liberties you want with the character's body, which makes my interest in anatomy varied and interesting.

Ahem. See your quote:

And personally I believe that most people have the potential to jump off the deep end given the right circumstances. So who's to say that any given Vora will really stay happy with the fantasy?

Monoochrom said:
The deal is, in which precise situation can I possibly become a danger to someone else based on the idea of me liking being tied? Unless we are talking some extremly stupid hypothectical situation, like holding somebody up at gunpoint so they'll do it, that isn't happening. Probably won't anything happen with any of you, you're are all probably fairly normal. The difference is that there however is a potential with ''you'' because your fetish is inseperable from violence.
It is entirely separable from violence. You just obviously haven't read any.
(I could point out some good lit if you want an example. Or hundreds. XD)

In other words, it would be far more likely then with most other fetishes, sure, only the mega looney is going to go through with it. But people aren't just born insane. It's something that happens. And personally I believe that most people have the potential to jump off the deep end given the right circumstances. So who's to say that any given Vora will really stay happy with the fantasy?
Try the countless vores who've led perfectly normal uneventful lives.
And people do get born insane. Sociopaths are just built that way. They can't help it. And hell, even sociopaths won't necessarily go out and become a serial killer. They're capable of leading relatively normal lives even with no social skills or empathy to speak of. But here, you're talking about vores, totally normal people with a fetish that has no bearing on lifestyle.

It's not like they're going to look like cannibals. And for the record, I'm not worried about this, perhaps if it actually were common I would be, but then I would have to make sure nobody is standig behind me with a knife and fork. It's Forum, Forums are for discussing, Thread was posted, I responded honestly. That's just what I do.
I can relate. That's what I do as well.

I can find you weird without actually being worried about you, that's just a sentiment to say ''maybe you shouldn't just be shrugging this off...it's not exactly your ''standard'' fetish, more like far out, extremly weird shit...which, if you aren't into it, should probably come across as atleast slightly alarming''.
No fetish is standard. I guarantee you that there is no single thing that every single person likes. And "should" or "shouldn't" does not factor in when appraising a person. Should or shouldn't automatically means by definition that you're projecting your ideas onto someone else. Thus, your appraisal is inherently skewed.

Not worried about you being a vora, if anything I'm worried that you and so many others apparently think nothing of it. That's not the real world, if the real world worked like that I could go outside and do my shopping in my underwear because it's comfortable and nobody would bat a eye. So I seriously don't understand why online suddenly everybody is okay with everything. Bunch of damned hypocrites
If you're not worried about me being a vore, why do you think we should make a big deal out of it? Because if you're not worried about me turning into Hannibal (which would be a self contradiction if true, given your second response and the quote I used in my fourth response), then there's no reason to think anything of it.
You'll notice the people who acted accepting in this thread were the people who listened to the explanations. We think nothing of it, because the Hannibals are not anywhere even close to the majority. It's a harmless little quirk (yes, quirk as in peculiar behavorial habit) for your own personal happy time. Nothing more.
Did you know bondage is my number one turn-off? It's up there with rape. Just sayin'.
