Vore Question:

Is vore inherently sexual?

I'm legit curious... On the outside, it certainly *feels* sexual, but then again, a lot of not-inherently-sexual-things look that way...

That isn't what he was asking. He was asking if the fetish/kink itself was strictly about sexual gratification for those who ARE in to it.

Oops, perhaps I should have added that distinction into the post proper!

Although I seriously hate this fetish, I'm legit curious too.

There's a few things that I just can't stomach (....pun unintended!), but others that I'm not into but I kinda find interesting anyway!

I'd say it's not inherently sexual, but most cases it would be sexual. Pee is not inherently sexual, but most of the time when it's featured in art it's used in a sexual manner or is a fetish

That was what I was betting the answer would be... It makes sense!

Kinks are a lot like if not the exact same thing as orientation. Even when I was 3 or 4, and didn't understand anything about sex or masturbation, or anything of the sort (I was pretty sheltered) whenever I saw a maw or a vore scene in a cartoon or movie, even then I felt that I wanted something to happen with my penis, I just wasn't sure what yet.

It's really a complicated situation, isn't it? I feel like I need to read more on the basics before I can really get an idea of things! haha

I don't think vore is inherently sexual. It really just comes from someone being eaten - it's a common story/cartoon trope, and honestly part of life for a lot of animals.

Is most vore today sexualized? Probably. I can't recall doing much vore on my own unprompted - people draw it cause they love it! It's hard to really tell or take someone's word for what they do - people don't want to make sexual art, admit kinks and sexuality, etc. so I'm sure someone draws nonstop vore out there and claims their works aren't sexual. I've seen that with tons of other fetishes. So, it really depends on the context, and the context for most of it these days is sex and feeling - but at its core, it started as nature and a story element, and can still be made that way. But... modern audiences are pretty aware. ;P

Yeah, I can absolutely appreciate the need for individual context! "Absolutes" aren't really ever that realistic, so I think that makes a lot of sense!

Nope. I know a slew of ace vore fans, and there's nothing innately sexual about being eaten. I would say that it very easily can have erotic undertones. I like it both sexual and nonsexual.

Ooh, that's a good point. It's just like a couple of aces that I know who're into watersports stuff... Thank you for bringing that aspect up! :3

I wish there was some kind of analogy because this confuses me to no end.

How can it have appeal - - to be "nice" and-- in a way that isn't sexual? My brain goes poof trying to make sense of that. There is sensual stimuli involved, and it's wet, warm, messy, erotic, intimate - all these things. But not sexual? That's about as confusing as intercourse not being sexual. But I am trying to learn.

I guess yes and no?

For me hard vore can be for me, and I have no problem writing romantic horror on it.

Anything else including soft vore does nothing for me and alternate forms disgust me.

So. -shrugs-

Yeah, it's one of those super subjective things, in the end! :3

My vore is usually the result of things like car wrecks, war, crime, revenge violence, natural disasters,  etc.
A really good example is how Dr. Zander Rat ended up in Chapter 8 of the story linked below;


Another example being;


However, as far as vore being sexual, I'd say not necessarily.
lavilovi

Yeah, that's really the take I'm getting out of it... It's usually sexually-charged, but not inherently so!

I wouldn't say that vore is inherently sexual, but I think it really goes with anything. For example, kissing can be considered sexual with someone you like, when done the way you like it - but if someone just randomly tries to kiss you, it's considered a bad thing.
For me personally, I only like the safe variant, as it's in a way "more intimate snuggles". I enjoy the closeness, trust and care which comes along with it, and it can definitely be sexual. It all comes down to preferences. For example, someone might find something "normal" as sexual, like buildings (There's some people wanting to marry Eiffel tower)

Though there's many different people out there, and everyone likes vore their own way. Some want it to be just an adrenaline dose, some just want sweet snuggles~

Oh, I see! That actually was what I was considering as a non-sexual option, so hearing it aloud is really enlightening! c: I think it makes a lot of sense. Thank you! :3

This always confuses me. I see vore pics if people getting stuffed in to maws and can see the appeal (im a big fan of making out). I can see where the sexual energy comes from. But If I see blood I automatically think pain and that's not a turn on to me.

I am with you ;;;; I can't handle blood or such ;;

This is something I also have a little trouble wrapping my head around. You have people who say they are asexual do vore art. Talking about Tartii. What is it to such people if not a "turn on"? It's mind boggling but, there you go, apparantly this can be asexual. Somehow. Cannot answer this.

I can see if it in a few ways... I also wonder if there's a distinction to be made between "mentally stimulating" and "physically stimulating." Hmm... It's really a subjective thing.

The direct answer to your direct question is 'No, vore is not inherently sexual.' It is very intimate as it involves one person going into another. This can lead to confusion as well as lend itself well to overlap.

On similar lines, Transformation is not inherently sexual. Yet, for many, the intense emotions and the inherently physical nature of Transformation lends itself to a similar view and much overlap with sexuality.

The only thing inherently sexual about water-sports is the proximity of the origin of the fluid. Beyond that, like all of these, it is an individuals reaction/responces to the subject that determines if it is sexual for them.

Similarly, in many parts of the world, breasts are not inherently sexual any more than a beard, adam's apple, or the shape of a person's ear lobes.

That's certainly the conclusion I've come to. There's a high correlation between the kink and it being used sexually, but the two are inherently connected. Thank you for your comment. c:
