What causes people to be into vore?

[TheArtilleryman]

Probably some form of kids media that included people being eaten. I'm convinced most fetishism stems from a kid trying to make sense of something they witnessed which they found weird and fascinating, later crossing their wires during puberty and resulting in a weird kink they can never fully explain aside from that early fascination. Lola Bunny creates furries, tickle torture creates feet people, that Willy Wonka scene creates inflationists.

Is there any kids media portraying eating people that would have been popular around the time that many current vore people were kids?

Autists fetishizing their weighted blankets.

Satan and his minions

 

[User 166848]

Pure debauchery just like being a v-tuber or other associated faggotry

It's difficult to believe it's a real fetish... I suppose like any other fetish, it creeps up on you from porn addiction or something.

This is absolutely the cause. Fetishes (in the absence of DeviantArt grooming) are born of scary/confusing imagery being presented to a young, young child, and I have yet to see a better explanation. Abusive and neglectful parenting exacerbates this phenomena.

I can give you two examples of films that anecdotally caused this fetish: Jurassic Park and Shrek.

I knew a guy who was normal. Successful. Not autistic. Genial and sociable. A believer in God. Since meeting him, I've paid more attention to the origins of these fetishes. No one's bothered to seriously study them and most of the outspoken fetishists are so retarded they can't even comprehend that it's abnormal.

He confided in me that he had a strong vore fetish since he was FOUR years old, and it was triggered specifically by Jurassic Park. The T-Rex swallowing someone alive broke his little brain irreparably. Later on, he was aroused Farquaad's death in Shrek and would rewind the VHS there over and over.

I learned from him that vore is spectrum and there're hundreds of genres you can't even wrap your head around. He hated inflation, he just liked the idea of being swallowed and digested. He told me there's shit like soul vore, sentient fat, and being consumed by pretty much any body part.

All of this sounds extremely demented (and it is) but it sounds like it was completely out of his control. He didn't have attentive parents to comfort or explain shocking things to him. Apparently, he was exposed to all sorts of R-rated horror films as a little kid because that's all his mother liked to watch. Is it any surprise that it messed him up? Every kid's different. You risk traumatizing them or burdening them with an embarrassing life-long kink if you don't care about what they watch.

I think it's because it creates strong emotion. Should be fear, but with cartoons there is less fear and the reader doesn't feel pain.

They fixate on it and maybe find some twist that makes it sexy. It seems like an abusive relationship (one partner eating another for a casual meal).

My guess is there are overlaps with people who are into dom/sub stuff or bondage.

I think this is true to an extent. I've had a thing for redheads ever since I saw April O'Neil in TMNT when I was a kid.

But still, it doesn't make much sense for something non-sexual to trigger a fetish. I know everyone's different, but I saw Jurassic Park when I was little and it didn't effect me that way.

Later on, he was aroused Farquaad's death in Shrek and would rewind the VHS there over and over.

This is definitely going into random.txt

From my brief stint as a sexologist in my late teens, it's usually due to childhood trauma. However, lack of empathy and poor theory of mind also play into it, both of which can be caused by childhood trauma. It can also appear after brain trauma or in neurocognitive disorder, most commonly frontotemporal dementia or Huntington's disease, although I have seen it happen in Alzheimer's disease. Needless to say, it's caused by faulty neuronal connections.

I really don't get pure fantasy fetishes, like not just stuff that isn't real but that stuff that's pure cartoon logic you couldn't even imagine existing in 3d space. Like cages, rope, rubber, feet, it's weird, but at least it's something that exists in the real world that you can actually interact with in a sexual scenario. But I will never understand how you can get into fucking inflation or vore or whatever

Being a fat furry.

Being born an autist named Justin Coolidge and playing Pokemon at a young age. That's how you end up stuck in Lugia's stomach aloooone.

 

[Sean Shemmy]

You just like, think that bicycle air pumps are sexy as fuck man.

Some time in their childhood, they ended up getting a hard on seeing a balloon inflate. Despite it's extreme loudness for when it pops. It doesn't scare them away enough. Pretty disturbing though.

That's inflation. Get your kinks right.

I hate Freud but I think he’s on to something with the whole “wanting to re-enter the womb” shit

Was this why I found Sonic vore/fetish videos on YouTube in the early 2010s?

Magic School Bus has an early episode where Ms. Frizzle shrank everyone down to get eaten by Arnold to study the digestive system.

So you tell me.

Think this one was frequently shown in schools back in the 2000's. Remember watching that episode multiple times in science class. Wonder if any of my classmates are now into vore because of that.

why are there multiple people who jack off to amateur endoscopy footage on the internet?

Jurassic Park and uninhibited access to R-rated body horror films is exactly what fucked up one of my close friends. He was single digit age when that movie came out too.

I say "fucked up" but like the guy you mentioned, he's outwardly fine, sociable, university graduate, and has a decently middle class career job. But yeah, he's into dinosaurs, their feet specifically because there's those two iconic scenes in JP where the T-Rex stomps in the mud near the car and makes a giant footprint, and also when the Velociraptors are chasing the kids around in the kitchen and they build suspense by showing scenes filmed under the tables where all you see are the dinosaurs' feet.
