Questions about the vore fetish

[Undercoverseeke]

I apologize in advance if I upset anyone with this, but I am genuinely curious.

Is there anyone on this board who has, or knows someone with, a vore fetish? When I first learned about it my only thought was "I had no idea this was a fetish, whaaaaaat," and I'm still curious as to why it can appeal to people.

Can anyone perhaps explain this? Why they like this particular fetish, how it makes them feel? I would just like to understand a little better.

There's one artist I watch. He writes a regular one page comic that has nothing to do with vore. Yet on occasion, he posts artwork with a vore theme.

I am excessively curious about anything I find, even if it bothers me on some level. Vore was something I knew nothing about so I investigated about it. I sort of equate it to excessive liberalism; Feeling so compulsed to go out of your comfort zone to appease another to the point of and including your own death.
Another way to look at someone who is interested in vore is to say that they are excessively curious about anything.

There was a movie called "Legend" where one character is told that he is about to be barbequed and his reaction is to say "Barbequed?" Not in a shocked or outraged way, but in a "I wonder what I would taste like barbequed? Hmm..." Vore addresses that sort of feeling. It is something that can only be addressed in fantasy since vore involves elements that one is still conscious and aware and unpained during the process of being swallowed and in some cases, even while being digested and all the while still feeling content that all is right in the world.

Another example of vore in a sense was shown in the movie "Deep Rising." One rather despicable character is found being swallowed alive by one of the creatures. While he isn't at peace with this aspect, you might say that the person who wrote the scene and anybody who isn't repulsed by the scene is into vore by reveling in the fact of his inevitable demise.

One comic, by the artist that I mentioned, described an enthusiastic actress who was doing an infomercial with a huge snake that was slowly swallowing her. It showed a step by step action with her describing how she felt (sensations and feelings) and how comfortable it was (like being hugged) being swallowed. At the end of the infomercial, you could see her eyes inside the opened mouth of the snake and she said "Okay, Is this a wrap?" or some such indicating that she was clueless that she was swallowed and nobody seemed interested in getting her out.

Frankly it fascinates me to a degree because it embodies nightmares I had as a child and while it still makes a part of my brain shiver in revulsion, that someone else would feel so at ease with that confounds me.
