First Realizing Your Vore Fetish

[sndwchbtch]

i only learned about it a few years ago. i mean, i always found it odd that i got turned on by vore scenes in movies, video games, anime, whatnot. i thought there was something seriously messed up with me.

then one day i was browsing tumblr (like i always did at that point in my life lol) and someone had answered an ask asking for an anal vore fic for a certain ship. the author said they'd never write something so gross. i got curious because i didn't know what anal vore was. sure, i knew what the 'anal' part of it meant, but what the fuck was 'vore'?

so of course i googled it, went into google images first. saw a lot of different kinds of drawings, comics, etc. it didn't really answer any questions, so i went to the regular search results. i read a definition and then googled vore. saw the definition of that and it suddenly clicked. but no, it couldn't be a fetish of mine, i mean i didn't really get all that turned on by it or think about it that often. but i was certainly turned on once i started googling more, going on deviantart, browsing tumblr tags.

and then, i went into omegle. typed vore in the interests (yes, a few years ago it was actually possible to find rp's on omegle).
"hi. pred/prey?"
i was confused and immediately clicked out of the conversation. what the hell was this? did some more googling, found out pred was the one eating and prey was the food (which totally made sense afterwards). i thought about it and realised that the thought of getting eaten was a bigger turn-on for me.

did a few good rp's on omegle and i was hooked.

I first realized it was a fetish when I was 12-13

[EonsofIf]

Nemo is what I remember as my first exposure to vore. So whenever I first saw that movie which means I was probably between 4-6. Theres a scene where dory and nemos dad get sucked into a whales mouth as well as one where nemos dad almost gets swallowed by a pelican. The whale scene really fascinated me and I always wanted them to be swallowed. I also remember it made me feel weird and I was getting psuedo erections but at the time I didnt really understand what was going on. Funny enough it was actually my favorite movie as a kid and i watched it a ton but ofc no one really knew the real reason why.

As I got older I would have the same response to other vore scenarios in media and eventually began seeking it out around 12. Eventually i found that vore was the term for it. Even then I denied it was a sexual thing despite physical responses. Unfortunately due to religious pressures i was very ashamed of it and actually vowed not to look/ fantasize about it anymore.

Years later I luckily broke free of the oppressive religion i was in. Needless to say i stopped suppressing my vore fetish and began to explore it again. Ive been enjoying being a part of the community ever since. Its not something im ashamed of anymore but at the same time ive never told anyone about it for fear of them not understanding or seeing me differently. I will probably take this secret to the grave but thats ok

Mine absolutely came after a certain documentary where I saw an African Rock Python swallowing a pregnant goat whole and slowly. Or watching many documentaries on Animal Planet of Komodo Dragons swallowing their food whole.


Also that one scene in MIB where Edgar the Bug swallowed Agent Kay whole and even has an internal shot. In school I'd always like to imagine myself as reptilian swallowing my crush whole and alive and listening to her inside of me.

[Omny87]

Like most folks here, as far back as I can remember I would always have this vague "this is scary/weird but also I kinda like it" feeling whenever I saw/read about fictional characters getting eaten, and especially when they were being treated like food (being seasoned, apple stuck in mouth, being roasted on a spit, etc) or when a carnivorous character referred to others as food, calling them tasty morsels and declaring it dinnertime when they catch their prey. And of course I always felt disappointed when the prey got away, though I never knew why exactly I enjoyed it. And of course I was secretly obsessed with Kaa from the Jungle Book, constantly imagining any female character I found attractive getting coiled up and hypnotized/swallowed. I was just obsessed with snakes in general, and wanted to learn how to draw them well- during fifth grade I literally drew nothing but snakes for a whole year, filling an entire composition notebook with drawings of snakes and snake-type monsters like sea serpents, nagas, and dragons.

I'd say that it was almost... a nonsexual fetish/fascination since at least the age of nine, and quite possibly since the age of six? It became a *proper* sexual fetish somewhere in my mid-to-late teens.

Likewise, it started out as a nonsexual fascination before becoming a full-on fetish for me. I didn't know about vore or anything like that at the time, but still I was always embarrassed by my secret obsession with it (as I was with most things I hyper-fixated on, hashtag just-autistic-things) so I rarely brought up the subject around other people, though it did come up often during playtime. When I was about five or six, I used to have this hollow plastic t-rex toy where the mouth was an open cavity, so I would often "feed" it with lego minifigs and other little figures for fun. I did the same with other similar toys, and I even built lego creatures with moving mouths that could "swallow" people. And of course any activity that involved playing pretend would include some giant alien or dragon or something devouring people whole half the time.

It wasn't until I was about 13 or 14 that I actually discovered vore. When my family wasn't looking I'd go on the family computer and search for pictures of women being sacrificed to dragons, like the kind you'd see in a Boris Vallejo or Frank Frazetta painting. I knew what porn was, but I never actually went to porn sites for fear of getting a virus, so I went to furry art/fanart sites instead, as well as searching for this kind of stuff. I ended up stumbling upon The Voretex and learning all there was to vore and its many varieties, and the rest is history.

Not sure exactly, but I wanna say it when I googled giantess for the first time and one of the first images I saw was of a blonde schoolgirl dropping one or more people into her mouth as she stood in the city. Or some point after that whenever started to actually come across the term 'vore' and started seeing same size stuff too.

I've always be interested/curious tho of characters/me being eaten by x character since back when was a lot younger, but didn't realize my 'fetish' for it till later on. Always knew it was a bit odd tho as know a friend of mine at recess got annoyed a bit when I tried suggesting we pretend to be eaten by and/or just flying our ships inside Princess Leia.

Part of it too is seeing scenes in shows/movies where they tease us with it then either would be victim is saved last minute or it ends shortly after the scene not showing anything regarding digestion or come the next toon/episode, character doesn't seem to remember let alone address that they had were last seen in a gut. In hindsight I know its cause its a kids show or a movie, they can't go that hard or dark and just let casual brutal deaths happen to their characters. I'm sure a lot of us also got our start seeing some of these and fantasized the what ifs... what if so and so was actually eaten, or what if so and so had been digested and actually died...

Background:
I am not exactly sure when and how I developed this fetish. One theory I have is that during my psychosexual development of my very early childhood, some kind of error occurred in my brain causing me to get stuck in the oral stage in Freud’s stages of human development. (look it up) what’s interesting is that I also have many other symptoms of someone who could be stuck in the oral stage which is why I think this is what happened. Another theory I have is that this was a side effect or response to the terrible anxiety I developed after getting severe food poisoning. On January 5, 2015 1:09 AM, a nine year old me woke up, stumbled into my parents room, and projectile vomited everywhere. This was the first time I had thrown up in six years and I wasn’t used to it. I was almost hospitalized due to this sickness but thankfully I didn’t have to. I kept on vomiting for the next six hours and spent the next few days recovering. although I did make a full recovery in the physical sense, the damage to my mental health was done. I spent the rest of the month waking up almost every night with terrible anxiety and nausea. Sometimes, I even threw up despite being healthy. This experience kicked off my obsession with the digestive system. I developed emetophobia and became a massive germaphobe, lest I get sick again. my stomach was always on my mind in someway. Back then, I had no idea what a fetish even was. But even now, there were signs of a brewing desire. I remember at one point having a crush on a fictional character and I also remember imagining how they would digest food for some reason. As time went on. I noticed that when I watched nature documentaries and I saw something swallow something else, I would get turned on. I felt as if this was a problem that no one else had and that it should be hidden. This is just how it was, until something happened that validated these feelings and told me that I was not alone.

The awakening:
On February 4, 2023 (I don’t remember the exact time), I watched a video on YouTube titled: “Distressing memes that represent my mental health v5” and 7:30 into the video, there was a certain meme that would change everything. The meme said: “POV: You are a vore fetishist getting exactly what you wanted.” The clip below was the digestion scene from the movie “Nope” (2022) it was at this moment that I finally connected the dots. I finally knew that I wasn’t alone, that there was people out there just like me, and content out there just for me. It is important to note that at this time, I had next to no exposure to adult content. I was well aware of its existence, but I always saw regular porn as repulsive. But when I went to a vore site for the first time, I was surprised at how effectively this content turned me on and although I still didn’t usually like it when genitals were involved, there was plenty of content that didn’t have this. By the time I realized I had this fetish, I was kind of tired of not knowing what I was into for so long, so I embraced it. I now visit this site regularly and take great care to not get an addiction and it has worked so far.

TLDR: Saw meme, became degenerate.

As someone who spent a good majority of his life in a general haze as to my understanding of my preferences beyond the vague notion of "I'm not attracted to humans and I don't know why" the sudden onset of vore fantasies in my mind around 15 years old kind of clued me in. As a kid I (very stupidly) admitted to liking vore, not understanding the sexual connotations. I just thought that other people found it gross and I liked it, and that it was on the same basis as some people would dislike certain foods while others would laud the same item. So, when my rewired preferences began to plague me and simultaneously hampered my ability to understand human relationships in a typical sense, I began to piece everything together. I always knew I was abnormal - but the severity of it never really clicked around until 16. That's when it all came together. I realized that my sexual preferences had been hijacked, I realized I could not love like others, and I realized that in place of typical sexual desires I had instead manifested... this. It was a slow buildup over the span of my entire life, the picture slowly becoming clearer and clearer from the hazy notions I grew up with.

[ReptileKing23]

Damn, reading all these testimonies it's just obvious most of our vore fetishes were developing before we hit puberty. Or just around the beginning or the middle of puberty.

[jynxtheclown]

Looking back, this started pretty early for me, 4-5- though I obviously didn't have the language for it or even really the concept. But it was, from the beginning, something sexual (initially, in a more violent, unwilling way.. which is still a part of a lot of my fantasies now).

My first "I could be eaten" thought came from a punishment (or, well, physical abuse). My abuser, my stepmother, believed in "an eye for an eye". I had bit my brother (her kid, and not very hard) for something he did to me, and when she found out, she said "an eye for an eye". Then she bit my wrist until I felt her teeth rip into my flesh and blood began to bead and drip along the teeth marks. It was swollen and bruised from the impact and the sheer force she had to administer in order to break skin like she did. And that's when I realized.. I was meat, too. Like the chickens and cows we ate at dinner, I was bleeding flesh, capable of being torn apart and devoured. It felt like a form of rape in that moment.

I had words to put to it by the time I was 11/12, and by then I had an obsession with cutting myself and drinking the blood. Even asking friends if I could taste theirs. I loved being bit, hard.

It's only gotten more intense since then.

[iHeartFatPreds]

I'm not sure if this is why I got into it, but maybe subconsciously it is.

I remember when I was younger, I watched Charlotte's Web (the cartoon, not the IRL adaptation) and there is a scene where Templeton the rat goes on a feeding frenzy and eating so much and getting really, really fat.

https://youtu.be/6y2SvYS5Mzg?si=tDdmoRXjBPQqXoya

Not really sure how it evolved from just innocently eating too much to becoming hardcore into mass vore and digestion.

[BlackWidow552]

First enjoyed the idea of someone being eaten when I was five years old, I looked at the other girls in my class and thought how good they looked to eat, especially one of them, the prettiest. I loved stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretal which our teaches used to read to us all the time and also Goldilocks, though in all those I wished Gretal was the one to be eaten and that the bears got to eat Goldilocks.

Closet monsters and monsters under the bed were among my favourite stories, ghosts and goblins, ogres that ate children who wandered too far into the woods, I loved those stories.

There was nothing sexual about it, I didn't even know what sex was at that age, just that boys were different and did not appeal to me, just the girls. As I grew a saw movies of young women being sacrificed to dragons and other monsters and I just loved the way it made me feel. Space 1999 the episode Dragons Domain really peeked my interest in unwilling women being eaten, such a great scene. And even the episode of Millennium - Anitpas where the little girl was eaten by the snake at the very beginning. Seeing women getting eaten by dinosaurs or other monsters in B or even D grade movies was wonderful

Today I might get aroused at women being eaten, but it is not overtly sexual for me, but it does make me feel excited, I guess you could say it is definitely a fetish now; but a sexual one, well not all the time.

[JettCabino]

Around age 5 or 6 with King Goobot V eating the alien pet in one bite and rubbing his gut with his British accent. I wanted to be food ever since, and it snowballed a lot ever since then, with several later scenes in media continuing to rot my mind with thoughts of being food for hot guy preds, aliens, furries, monsters, robots, ghostly figures, skeletal figures, and a ton of other species and things.

[Matteo42]

It's strange, no? How so many of us grew up with the ideas in question, only for it to evolve into a larger chunk of our brains later on.

Like many, the idea was always intriguing in a strange way for as long as I can remember. Once every few weeks, I remember some other instance of it that I hadn't thought about in years and years, which is pretty funny.
I can't really pin the tipping point in time, but I think it was around 15 years old, when I wrote my first vore-related story (after writing other short stuff for a long time). It was sexualized, in a similar way that I currently still write. Wanted to post them somewhere, found DA, and now... here I am!

[Quarters]

Hm, while I'm fairly certain I first began becoming aware of pleasurable my dick could be sometimes during the summer vacation between grades 4 and 5 (My brother and I discovered a little porcelain figure in our grandparent's basement, where we slept, that depicted an man praying at some kind of altar but the altar was removable and revealed the woman the man was having sex with. Within a few days of that discovery I learned that if shower water hit my dick in just the right way while washing it, it made my knees go weak.), I'm not quite sure when exactly it was that vore entered the equation.

The first example I can think of is rolling up in my sheets and blankets real tight (actual rolling, not tucking) until I could barely move and squirming until the friction caused me to cum. I know that after reading about the Lethifold in the pocketbook of Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them I would sometimes imagine that me rolled up was a Lethifold attack, though I'm not sure if the book came first or the rolling did. Sometimes the fantasy/dream would end with death, while other times it continued with the creature assuming my form and living my life while siphoning my memories. I know I was caught a couple times by my parents all wrapped up, and they were rightfully concerned for my safety and made me stop. There was at least one case where I was too tightly wound to get out myself and needed someone to release me.

It wasn't until sometime in High School that vore re-entered my awareness. More frequent access to the Internet led to discovering hentai sites and my drawing led me to join deviantArt. I don't recall when or how, but I came across artists like Darkstarchan, Karbo, and Just-A-Little-Vore and learned of vore and became increasingly interested in it. That made me remember my wrapping phase and go "Oohh..." It's been one of my biggest fetishes ever since.

Thinking about it, that would've been close to 20 years ago now... Naturally in that time, my tastes in vore have changed. With Karbo being one of my earliest introductions to the fetish, Giantesses were the way to go, whereas nowadays I prefer snakes, monster-girls, and same-size. And within the past 5 years I've begun to analyze what exactly turns me on/off the most in regards to vore, mostly thanks to threads like this and this website in general. Seriously, I don't think I was aware of this site 10 years ago, but now it feels like a second home.

[NightmareX7]

I would say my first realization to having this fetish came from the original Power Rangers series in which the Terror Toad ate the Red and Blue rangers. It's kind of ironic as I don't particularly like male prey, but since this was my first exposure, this particular scene is one of the only exceptions. I wouldn't be exposed to vore for a while until Little Shop of Horrors in which Tooey would eat Seymour's boss.

When I discovered vore itself, however, wouldn't be until I had access to the internet and would come across Gaira's version of Audrey, utilizing a homemade plant for various photo sets and videos. I eventually found Reddmann's works and fell in love with his material. So much so that I proceeded to start making content of my own and started to upload various videos on Youtube to contribute to the community.

[Aeromac]

I've been into vore for as long as I can remember. I remember knowing that a bigger person swallowing a smaller person made my penis feel good ever since I was at least 6 years old but I didn't think about it much until I was 12 and I saw that scene in the movie Dude Where's My Car. Since then there hasn't been a day where I haven't thought about it. I first discovered vore on the internet later on that same year by accident. I was looking up something about Super Smash Bros. Melee and came across an older version of this site that listed every video game where someone gets eaten. Thats when I discovered the terms vore, vorarephilia and macrophilia, and my reaction was "well, they have a name for everything".
