Vore is most often enjoyed through pictures, stories, videos, and video games, and it can appear in mainstream media.
Since vorarephilic fantasies cannot usually be acted out in reality, they are often expressed in stories or drawings as well as AI characters on the Internet. Usually, vorarephilic fantasies involve a consumer (usually referred to as predator or pred for short) ingesting one or multiple victims (sometimes called prey) in some way.
The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to 'swallow' or 'devour'), and Ancient Greek φιλία ( philía, ' love'). Soft vore fantasies are separated from sexual fantasies of cannibalism, also referred to as 'hard vore', because the soft vore victim is normally swallowed alive and whole. Vorarephilia (often shortened to vore) is a paraphilia characterized by the erotic desire to be consumed by, or to personally consume, another person or creature, or an erotic attraction to the process of eating in general practice.
