Swallow me whole: what is vore and why is it trending?
Interest in vore is positively trending. Wales and Northern Ireland have a very pronounced regional interest in vore.
Short for vorarephilia, vore is a fetish that centres on the act of consuming or being consumed. Vore isn’t the same as having a cannibalism fetish, which focuses more on butchering and cooking. Vore focuses on the fantasy of being swallowed whole.
A major theme in pop culture in 2022 and 2023 centred on people being consumed. Think: Bones And All, Fresh, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, House of Hammer, and Yellowjackets.
Sarah Butcher (@SubintheCity) says vore has been around for a long time, as evidenced by the longstanding pop culture obsession with vampires and the sexualisation of sucking blood.
Butcher says that the thrill that comes from vore likely comes from “someone having such uncontrollable desire for you, they can't stop themselves, someone finds you so attractive that they just want to literally devour you and eat you.”
