Vorarephilia is a paraphilia characterized by a sexual attraction to the idea of being consumed or consuming another person, typically in a metaphorical or fantastical sense rather than literal. It is derived from the Latin word "vorare," meaning "to devour."

Individuals who identify with vorarephilia may fantasize about scenarios involving engulfment, digestion, or being eaten, often manifesting in various forms of art, literature, or role-play scenarios. This attraction can be expressed through various means, such as writing, drawing, or participating in role-playing games where such themes are explored in a safe and consensual environment.

In many cases, vorarephilia is linked to the psychological aspects of dominance and submission, where the act of being consumed symbolizes a deep level of trust and vulnerability. It is important to note that participants typically engage in this fantasy consensually, ensuring that all parties involved are aware of and agree to the nature of the play. The practice often emphasizes mutual consent and safe boundaries, keeping the experience pleasurable and fulfilling for everyone involved.
