Vorarephilia
Vorarephilia (often shortened to vore) is a sexual fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of eating, or being eaten by, another person.[1][2][3] The fantasy may sometimes involve the victim being swallowed dead or alive, and may or may not include digestion.[3] Since the fetish generally cannot be carried out in real life, it is enjoyed through pictures, stories, videos, and video games.[4] It may be seen as a variation on macrophilia in some cases, and may also be combined with other fetishes.[5]
The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to "swallow" or "devour"), which is cognate to Greek βορά (vorá, "food"), and Ancient Greek φιλία (philía, "love").[citation needed]
