people have posted theirs so ill do mine Razz

Well first of all i like both samesize and macro vore, and unlike some people i dont mind the predator being male (though i do prefer female if i have a choice in the matter) as long as theirs one girl involved Wink, now i love oral vore, the preys fear of being swallowed, them getting played with while the prey just wants to escape and of course the saliva Embarassed , and it is very important for a nicely formed bulge when swallowed, and the futile attempts escape the stomach,digestion is not important i dont mind either way, i love each of these aspects, though same size does have a nicer belly size then macro

i like non consensual vore better because the prey trys to fight back lol! but consensual has a sweetness to it, like a loving bond..

i sorta like ub, without the whole turning into a baby thing, i just like the going into the womb thing and hanging around while the girl just sports around her full belly

but scat is a no no..... i dont like it No

masumi: come over here mac i have something to show you
me: Suspect *runs off*

Wow... Im kinda unsure where to start. x3 Since I just know what I like when I come across it, but never really dug into the why's and why-not's.

Ill just go on as I think about it. :3 Highly non-scientific, but meh~ Gotta start somewhere. ^^

If I wanted to, I could probably find the things that'd make you tick in any part and/or version of vore (same goes for most fetishes tbh). But Ill just focus on the things that would make me skip back a page for a second look, while browsing around.

I like the fact of innocence meets despair. Safety meets fear. Pure meets tainted... You get the idea. :3 But I still want it all carried out... Elegantly? I wonder if that's a good enough word, but it will have to do for now.

As for Vore, I don't feel special about it being GTS for the sake of GTS or something like that, but just the fact of differance in size makes the subject easier to handle. Seeing a predator gulping down it's prey whole, sure provides a giggly feeling. x3
If it's supposed to be same-size vore, I would probably see it being one of the alternative kinds of vore. Not oral that is. (as per humanoid anatomy)
Alternative vore could be anything... As long as it's wet and possibly slimy. x3 (and to note: Wet and Slimy goes for any vore in my book. *fufufufu~*)

What I find to be the most important aspects, are... Foreplay/Dialogue, Tongue-Play and the Actual Swallowing. I've caught myself multiple times smiling at graphic digestion as well. But It's far from a must. I certainly don't mind gore, but that's a whole other section of Vore (or just plain gore), that's not the subject of this post. :3

I preferr both the prey and predator to be female. And the predator have to enjoy what she's doing. Her actions are pure, playful and innocent. Devious intentions are Ok aswell. (if not encouraged!)
As for the prey... I want them to be unknowing or, at a height, suspicious... And preferrably innocent. It is at the point when they finally realize they are in grave danger and unable to flee, when I find myself smiling.
The sudden turn of events. The struggle for survival, even when knowing how pointless it is. It teases my senses a lot as I find "fear" to be very pleasing. ^^; (this is just one of the multiple scenarios I can think of, though.)
Another scenario could be the prey being seduced to a point where it doesn't know what's going on. And getting swallowed before it figures out it's actually in grave danger.

As for artwork... I like pictures of tongues... And tongues against naked skin... Full tummies and facial expressions. And inside-views of the stomach are welcomed as well.

I feel like there's... A novel's worth of text for me to explain all my thoughts about this subject. x3 So Ill halt here for now.

My opinions on the subject are fairly straightforward. I prefer for the predator to be female but the prey can be either. What really attracts me to the entire concept of vore is the aftermath, and specifically the look of satisfaction that the predator exhibits when her stomach is stretched tight with nutrition to come, plus maybe a little bit of struggling from the inside to spice things up. The sequence of events leading to the act itself also has a place in my heart, but generally just to enhance what happens afterwards.

That's the same for me ^_^

The problem with same-size vore for me is the moment where the maw stretch impossibly to take the prey.. even if it's not explicitely depicted it still disturb me ^^;

Exactly, Karbo. ^^ That's why Im not really into the same-size Oral-consumtion. Like you said, the weird stretching of the maw only makes it look... Troublesome. ^^;

Oh for me there are many types I like. However among the types I don't are probably hard vore, and same size, the exception would be if it was with something not very humanlike, such as slime girls <3, and i guess soul vore or whatever it is called, im not sure of the specifics about it but it sounds cruel. Sad

As for gender, either F<M, F<F and i am ok with M<F
(P.S. in school learning about greaterthan/lessthan did the teacher use the examples of the bigger number eating the smaller one, with the symbol being like an alligator mouth?)
Also while i notice many of you like the throat bulge, My favorite part of vore it the "Inside view" before digestion, though preferably from a 3rd person perspective so you get to see victim.
For what I like, there has to be the size difference. But for me scenario plays a big part in it. For example, Giants are more appealing in less developed worlds, like a jungle. In other words city smashing= bad. So in the case of earthly areas, micro is more appealing. Speaking of micro, that is also how I prefer other "sub vores" like unbirthing, which i may actually like more then normal vore.
...
At which point I will stop, to continue would describing what and why i like in non oral vores, something considered more erotic.

It would appear that no one here quite likes hard vore, but if anyone here does I advise you watch animal planet Laughing . And I agree with sciran "Soul vore" sounds very cruel.

My story may be the strangest of all.

Well, things start out very normal.
I am practically what you could call a "digestion-fetishist". I find most things involved with women, who are eating and digesting, pretty fascinating. This also includes scat (the final act of digestion). But I am not a fan of hard vore, mainly because it's often related to torture. Not to mention, it's kinda ridiculous for me to imagine whole skeletons moving through a woman’s intestines, as they often tend to, in hard vore. Suspect
I prefer female preys, but it has nothing to do with vore. I just don't like the feeling of being aroused by something involving a man besides me. Laughing As I am really loving women, I like willing and worshipping prey, too. The hunting is not that important to me.

One thing, I am loving vore (and especially Felarya) for, is, because it's one of the most extreme worlds to be imagined. Nowhere else, being "evil" in the most horrible way and being a "good" person falls this close together. I love the trill letting my mind just walk the line, getting as close to being evil as imaginable, but never crossing it even once. Maybe that's because I'm an extreme person myself. Falarya and characters like Crisis and Menyssan are a perfect playground for me.
But I am not an angel. You have to realize, that I am also watching real vore videos, in which real animals are being swallowed alive for real. But still I'm sure, that I am a good person, because even when watching this shit, I am extremely careful not to cross the line. If I ever do - kill me. This should explain how serious I am taking this vore stuff.

The interesting part began a few years ago, as I came to realize, I had not only become a true master in walking the line, it also let my own view become much more clear for everything in our world, too. It may sound ridiculous, but through connecting the fantasy world "Felarya", through the sexual "vore", with the reality, I actually came to true statements how things should be done to make our world a better place. As I had realized this, the extreme character of this Felarya had literally become the single most important aspect for me, even repressing the erotic aspects. Call me insane, but through thinking about Crisis and her "humans=candies" habit, I found a solution for the slavery-problem in the Aristotelian Politics just last week. Of course, the "good/evil"-thing can only show up, when pred and prey are interacting with each other, even when the pred is just rubbing her belly because of the struggles inside.
Thus, the interaction between prey and pred is the one single most important aspect in vore for me.

Well, not everything's fine. First I had become a bit arrogant. By now, I am considering myself to have the only true interpretation of Felarya and its inhabitants (especially Crisis, Lea and Menyssan). I'm so sure, I would even argue with Karbo about that.
But more important, I began to hate everyone, who crosses the line and becomes evil. These are no humans for me anymore. Ironically, this somehow makes me like Crisis and I truly believe, a can understand her more than any other person because of that.
For those, who may have asked themselves, why I am so concern with Felarya to never ever cross the line, now you got the answer. When Felarya or it's most important characters ever cross the line, they are getting practically useless for me, and thus, so I seriously believe, the real world becomes a much worser place for everybody.

Okay, I am insane. But I am no stalker or a twisted maniac, so don't be afraid. Wink
If you want to laugh at me, do so, but rest assure that the world doesn't change by itself. Unlike you, I tried my best to make it happen.
And besides: I am writing this to get clear about myself, not for you.


Well, that's my story. What do you think? Shocked

Hmmm not a die hard fan of vore, I guess my preferences are for people who deserve it to get devoured! Maybe in a humiliating fashion too! Like how someone will toss a popcorn into the air and catch it in their mouth. Razz

The only same-size vore I can take, is the one related to snakes, that's the only moment it's not creepy. On second thought, I prefer macro-sized vore, it's less creepy.

PostSubject: Re: Vore Preferances   Tue Jul 22, 2008 9:36 pm

What the heck, why is this thread on page 2???

Why do I like vore?
Some people find it funny, other people find it fascinating, or thrilling, some people even stimulating. For me I can't decide what effect vore on me really has since I'm quite new to it and somehow its all of this together, not really one aspect in particular and it changes from day to day and from situation to situation.

Ok, what do I like in vore?

First, I want to talk about the three possible roles: Predator, prey and spectator. They all haver their obvous advantages and disadvantages so I'm not 100% one thing or the other.
As for roles in vore I absolutely favorize the role as prey (about 80%). I like the role as spectator as well (about 10%) and don't dislike the role as pred (also 10%), but me being gulped down by a big Predator is the most interesting part for me. That's why I like pictures from the preys point of view most. ^^

Loving to be the prey surely has a great influence on my preferences regarding the process of swallowing itself so it's no big suprise I only like the soft vore. Chewing on the prey and ripping limbs of and such painful things are a complete no-go for me, even if I'm spec. or Pred. The prey has to be swallowed whole, alive and of course both of them have to stay conscious. So that they're knowing what's happening right now. ^^

As for the predator:
I like the predator more when she's female but I can also live with a male predator. However, Female is waaaaaaaaaaaay better. ^.^ Same goes for the prey. At least one must be female, a Man-Man vore is absolutely not my thing.

The predator should be a creature that is able to fly (i.e. an Eagle or Dragon) or be a reptile, or be fully or at least half human just like all those predators we all know and like. (Nagas, Fairy etc.)

Then I only like a big predator swallowing a small prey (Except snakes for obvious reasons) since I find it not that good looking if the pred has to drop his/her jaw and extend his/her stomach. However, shrinking the prey in order to fulfill the meal is not just ok for me, i even like it somehow.

About the actual meal:
Interaction is one of the most important things too. Thats why I want the pred as well as the prey alive and with their consciousness. The prey has to see the predator and has to know what's going to happen in a few moments so the tension is continuously growing. The pred may hunt her prey until the prey is out of breath or catch it right now since the predator is way superior. The prey has to be afraid of the predator and the process swallowing of course.
Even if I imagine being the prey myself my feelings are an interesting mixture between excitement and horror. Part of me would love to get eaten alive, the other part gets desperate by the mere thought of it. ^^ So even if I favorize being the prey I'm not really a willing piece of food. Wink Makes no sense, does it? Razz

So when the predator has captured the prey the process of swallowing should be as slow as possible. If the prey has still clothes on him/her the predator should remove it now since the prey should feel the preds body as much as possible while the pred should taste the prey as much as possible. I think its much more intimate if there are no textiles and such beween their bodies during the consumption. I love the naked prey being slowly put into the predators mouth, the lips closing behind. The tongue playing with the helpless and desperate prey, tasting it while rubbing the tongue against the preys skin. I'd like the prey eventually becoming fully covered or even soaked by the predators warm and slimy saliva which makes the swallowing much more smoothly. I also like it when the pred opens her mouth again to let the prey see outside for a last time or to see how it's already covered with the saliva dropping down from the roof of the predators mouth. The Pred even may open and close her mouth like she was munching (of course without using her teeth since they would hurt) strings of saliva hanging between her teeth and lips. However, the prey has to try to get out of the mouth, if possible while the predator has to hinder the prey from it and play with the helpless tasty morsel. I also like the feeling when I'd manage to climb half way out of her mouth, then the lips hinder me from getting any further while the tongue is wrapping itself around my legs, dragging me into the warm and dark mouth again.
Then, when the pred is finished with her playing I'd like to get gulped down headfirst, unless the preds mouth is still open so I can see the opening of her mouth moving away, trying to climb up again which is pointless.
The (from the outside) visible bulge in the neck of the predator is an important thing too because it shows the prey (or me ^^) sliding down deeper and deeper into the predators digestive-tract. I'd love to be held tight by strong muscles that force me closer to the stomach in which i finally land. It's walls would massage my body slowly, almost kneeding me while i geat further soaked with the preds. body fluids.
Being the prey myself makes me dislike the dying part of course so I either like to get regurgitated again or even coming out at the bottom of the predator - unharmed. Being digested would only be ok for me if it wasn't painful at all. If I'd get unconscious without any pain and become part of my predator then it would be ok for me if I'm going to become revitalised. (And getting eaten again maybe ^^)


Uhm yeah. I guess that concludes what I like most about vore. Wink

I don't really like the digestion and slow death by acid, a little too gruesome for me. I like it to be humorous, since, well, I like humor. Duh. ^^ I like it when the prey is always trying to escape, but just keeps getting caught over and over, like if Crisis were to catch a human, then put him down, then he would try to run away, and Crisis would catch him again, repeat. Until, of course, her stomach growls. Laughing
I kinda like the prey's point of view the most, but I like it to be fast and agile, like a neko, so they at least have some chance of running away. If they're lucky. Very Lucky. Also, I think it would be funny to watch a neko get caught by her tail, and lowered into a pred's throat. Hilarious. Very Happy I really like watching a pred hunt it's prey, and the prey usually making an annoyed remark when it's caught. I kinda put that in Mica's personality, too. I just don't like hard vore. At all. No way. Nada. Nothing really gruesome, too dramatic, and stupid from my point of view. >_<

I think it would be funny to have a scene where the predator has second thoughts about the prey after they ate them, and try to get them back. XD My plan for that to happen would be to be eaten by a predator that really likes music, and then take out an iPod and some portable speakers and play some of my favorite music. (Foreshadowing: "I demand you play this music at my funeral!") Then the pred might hear it coming from her stomach and think about spitting me back out. Unless of course, she thought about just leaving me there to play music wherever she goes...that could be awkward. A living radio.

~I may just keep writing on this post as I think about it...

Heh. I'm odd when it comes to this subject. On one hand I like the cuddly vore where the food is willing and the predator is actually nice/gentle, but I also enjoy the same type of vore as Karbo described in the wiki as his prefrence.

I guess it's hard to determine the kind of vore I like the most.

Cuddly: I really liked vore orrigionally because I thought of vore as the ultimate way to show a girl that you love them. To give up your life to be nothing more then food in the end. Call me a crazy freak, but I find that to be...idk, just so...it's hard to describe. But given the choice, I would do that for a girl I love.

Vicious: This kind of vore is more of a turn on for me, simply because the food often gets played with before consumption. I just find that sexy.

Overall I guess the cuddly vore wins. I'm not a sexual deviant, so the turn on, being as hot as it is, looses out. I'd prefer to die to show my love for some one close, then to just get off. Of course I will always enjoy vicious vore, but cuddly vore will always come out on top.


Ok, specifics.

POV: Prey. I don't eat people, don't want to. If i was ever a spectator, odds are I'd jump in the ring to get my own turn anyway.

Predator: Female. I'm sorry, but I just can't handle a male predator, because even if it's vicious vore, I'll still curl up in the stomach and cuddle her innards. Seeing as I'm not gay, I'll only cuddle women.

Play Time? Yes. I would like to be toyed with, played with, even cuddled a few times if possible, maybe even get a kiss or two, you get the point...

Consumption: Slow, soft, enjoyable for both predator and me. I want to make the girl happy, even if I don't know her. Don't ask why, if you do I'll just get angry cause it isn't a subject I'm open to discuss. I'll be happy if she's happy, end of story.
Slow because it'd be much more enjoyable for me, and I think it would be for her.
Soft because getting ripped to pieces...no, not something I want to happen any time soon.
Enjoyable because I said so.

Digestion: Must happen unless it's just Love Vore (Not cuddly, I'll explain the difference in a second). I don't care how much it burns, if i get eaten it has to be realistic, i'm not bending the laws of nature to avoid pain or death.


Love Vore: I didn't explain this earlier. Love vore is ingestion, not consumption. It would be a girl who loves me, swallowing me just for fun, with the intention of coughing me up before I get digested. It's called love vore because obviously the girl loves me and doesn't see me as food. Cuddly Vore is named such because though I may love the predator, she obviously doesn't love me and still sees me only as food. Ge the difference?

Those are my preferences. Don't like them? Not my problem.
