Vorarephilia (often shortened to vore) is a sexual fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten, eating another, observing this process, or by the general process of eating.[1][2][3] The fantasy most frequently involves the victim being swallowed alive, and may or may not include digestion.[3] Since the fetish is physically impossible to achieve 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]
