Vore is a fetish or fantasy involving the act of consuming, or being consumed by, another being. This can be depicted in various forms of media, including art, literature, and role-play scenarios. The term derives from the word "vorare," which means "to devour" in Latin.

In the context of vore, individuals may find arousal from the idea of one character swallowing another whole, experiencing the physical or emotional sensations associated with being eaten or eating. This fantasy often emphasizes themes of domination, submission, and the ultimate intimacy of being absorbed into another being.

Vore can be categorized into two main types: soft vore, where the consumed individual is not harmed and may be portrayed as being in a safe or pleasurable situation, and hard vore, which typically involves graphic depictions of injury or death.

Participants may engage in vore through storytelling, drawing, or role-playing games, often creating narratives that explore the power dynamics and emotional connections involved in the act. While it is largely a fantasy and does not involve real-life consumption, it can serve as an exploration of complex feelings related to desire, trust, and vulnerability.
