== Etymology and psychology ==

The word is derived from the [[Wikipedia:Latin|Latin]] ''vorare'' (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and the [[Wikipedia:Greek language|Ancient Greek]] φιλία (''philia'', 'love').

The term ''vorarephile'' describes someone who enjoys vore. Most vorarephiles describe themselves as being "[[prey]]" — based on how animals are considered to be prey for other animals who are in a higher chain position — while those who actually do the eating in the fantasies, are referred to as a "pred" (derived from the word [[predator]]).<ref>[http://vore.got-game.org/VoregottenRealm/VoreDefinition.html "What is vore? An attempt at a definition."] Accessed 26 February 2008</ref>

Being a [[Wikipedia:Fantasy (psychology)|fantasy]], any orifice may be thought of as capable of vore, but it's really just adding a body part to the word vore. This incorrect use of the word vore is now commonplace. Examples of this well known twisting of the word vore are the "genital vore" scenarios, such as '''unbirthing''', also known as '''female genital vore''' or '''vaginal vore''', and “vorginal”, which involves a character(s) "consumed" via the [[vagina]] and taking refuge in the womb,<ref name="unbirth">[http://aryion.com/content/unbirth "Unbirthing"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''. Retrieved ?.</ref> which is simply a '''reverse birth'''. Others think of it as a mutual, erotic and consensual activity with no injury to the sexual partners involved — in that case, it is not considered a form of vore.<ref name="unbirth"/>

Vorarephilia is typically considered an "imaginary fetish", as fulfilling them, in reality, is both difficult and illegal. Most vorarephiles are aware of the improbability of the paraphilia and are largely uninterested in the idea of [[W:Cannibalism|cannibalism]].

No.
