Happy Friday everyone! Last night after work, my boyfriend and I watched an episode of The IT Crowd titled "Moss and the German". In it, Moss believed he answered an ad to attend a German cooking class, when in reality it was an ad for a German man who was looking for someone to eat. This reminded me of a very real fetish that, thankfully, is mostly kept in the fantasy realm.
Today's Fetish: Vorarephilia
Vorarephilia, sometimes shortened to vore, is the sexual desire to eat a person or to be eaten. Since this practice is illegal, vorarephiliacs have to content themselves to acting out their desires through games, stories, and images. However, there are cases of people attempting to cross over the lines between desire and action. Albert Fish is a notorious serial killer who, after being examined, was diagnosed with vorarephilia, among other paraphilias. His victims of choice were children, and he claimed to have had around 100 victims.
But, before you go attributing this fetish to cannibals, many vorarephiliacs are also sexually aroused by animals being eaten by other animals (I wonder if Animal Planet is like their Skinemax). In fact, sometimes preds (those who like to eat, hence "predators") don't even need to be the ones eating to be aroused; the victims may be eaten by other people, animals, and/or fantastical creatures. This fetish can also be argued to be an extension of macrophilia (A sexual fantasy involving giants. A fetish for another day).
Vorarephiliacs may specify how and what they enjoy watching being eaten, such as genitals, breasts, the body as a whole, or in bits, but for the most part, Vorarephilia can be categorized into two groups:
- Hard Vore: This genre is more violence driven than sensual. Here, the victim is put through a severe amount of pain while being consumed. Tearing, biting, chewing, ripping, cutting, and excessive gore are all characteristics of hard vore. For obvious reasons, this category may be considered a form of sadism.
- Soft Vore: On the other hand, soft vore is much more sexually driven as the person or thing is consumed as a whole. There is little to no pain, and in the majority of cases, the person being eaten eventually dies of asphyxiation in the body. The video game in the link above is an example of soft vore.
Even though vorarephiliacs are restricted from acting this fetish out for legal and moral reasons, there is an abundance of material to satisfy any vore-lover's appetite. Since this is a fetish that can harm or, ultimately, kill people, I urge anyone interested in this paraphilia to remain in the realm of fantasy. As long as you're not serving your family members to guests, then knock yourself out. Now, go get your kink on! Bon appetit!
