Poll: which fetish is stranger?

[Sov.reign]

At least with furry you're still going at it like (tee hee) Rabbits

 

[Chrono212]

F***ing furries.
...
What?


Srsly though, to each man his own, honestly.
As long as those who have a leaning towards vore keep it purly in the relm of imagination, like furries.

 

[Death God]

I have never heard of vore before this thread but now that I know, vore. That is some weird stuff there man!

 

[darthotaku]

This thread is to settle a debate between me and my friend. I won't go into specifics but juring a discussion I began kidding him about being a furry. he rebuted by saying that at least he wasn't into vore like I am.
The conversation then changed to which of us had a stranger fetish and ended in both of us undecided. therefor, we concluded that we would put it to an anonymous vote on the internet.

so vote for whichever you think is stranger.

edit: yeah, I can see already that I've lost this vote.

Furry.

Vore is easily understood if it is just a total human interaction, girl eats a shrunken guy or girl.

Vore is weird when it doesn't involve just humans.

Furry is weird because it will always involve non-humans.

I'm looking at this from a sexual prospective, because it is the only way to look at it.
A guy like me being aroused by the thought of being swallowed whole by a beautiful woman is actually not that weird. The most common thought is that the guy what's to feel closest to the girl and be as intimate as possible. What could be more intimate than being eaten like food and entering her body.

The same could be seen in the scenario being flipped and the guy eating the girl.

Since it is a natural attraction involved between members of the opposite sex, it really isn't that weird. It comes from the natural sexual desire to be close and intimate with the one the person is attracted to.

Furry on the other hand is far weirder, since sexual arousal comes from viewing or the thought of interacting with something that is not human.

I would consider sexual fetishes where the point of attraction isn't human, to be weirder than anything that is just human on human.

I would take being sensually licked and tasted, and swallowed whole by a beautiful human girl every time, instead of interacting with some she animal thing that I find no attraction to because it isn't totally human.

Furry is weirder than Vore by a factor of 500. Vore is pretty tame.

If I had been able to use that argument a few hours ago I would have wone the debate and this thread wouldn't have come into existance. Very thorough and well worded if I do say so myself. I was hoping for an intelligent response like this.

Vore, no question.

 

[Crazycat690]

WTH is "Vore"? Wikipedia is your friend...

...Interesting, I'd say it's weirder since it's not as common as being a furry, then again being different isn't always a bad thing, to bad for you that you can't actually live out those kind of fantasies =)

 

[Para199x]

Furry is odd, but vore is antinatural, I don't mean it's a bad thing but it's stranger to have a fetish which goes directly against your survival instincts.

 

[reg42]

Furry isn't really a fetish.

yeah it is.

When looking at Vore, to get into the shoes of the person that likes it, one must look past the act of eating someone or being eaten by someone.

People that like Vore don't get off on seeing someone getting eaten, they either get off on the thought that they are doing the eating or are the one being eaten.

To understand it, you have to look at it from the area of intimacy or dominance:

Spoiler: Spoilered for length.

I am of the party that likes the thought of being swallowed whole by a beautiful girl. If I see artwork that depicts a girl eating a guy, I see that guy as myself, not as some random stranger.

We know that sex is one of the most intimate acts, but people like me wonder what could be even more intimate.

First off I would like to point out that this is all fantasy, I know that this could never happen in real life and that it would be far different in real life.

I am mainly of the area of Vore fetishists that also have the fetish of being shrunk and used by a giantess(Female giant to those who somehow don't know). People like me see that being eaten by a beautiful girl is getting to be even closer and intimate. The one being eaten by the girl is eventually totally enveloped by the girl. One can't be any closer to a girl than being totally inside her.

So, from what I have encountered, Vore fetishists don't get off on seeing other people devoured, they are either projecting themselves as the one being devoured, or the one doing the devouring. On the other end of the spectrum, the people doing the devouring get pleasure out of the thought of dominance/power over the one they are eating.

So really, the pleasure from the Vore fetish comes from other normal psychological areas that deal with sex.

Furry is kinda weird, but vore is far worse.


Congrats on being a horrible person, OP.

Thanks, and sorry I was late to the party.

Actually, depending on the vore fetishist, there is a lot of "going at it" before the act of vore happens.

For the most part, the vore fetish is of an intimate and sexual nature.

WTH is "Vore"? Wikipedia is your friend...

...Interesting, I'd say it's weirder since it's not as common as being a furry, then again being different isn't always a bad thing, to bad for you that you can't actually live out those kind of fantasies =)

In fetishes that can't really happen in real life, roleplaying is a great tool. The ultimate for a Vore fetishist would be finding partner in real life that has an open mind and is willing to roleplay. The actual act of being eaten doesn't have to occur, the thought is powerful enough.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Being a furry myself I don't really consider it a fetish. Furries are more of a community of like minded individuals... there is a fetish element WITHIN the furry fandom but it's unfair to state that simply being a furry means you have a fetish.

Vore however, seems strange which ever way you look at it.

EDIT: Ok I just read that and realised how one sided my comments were. I'm not saying vore is wrong, hey everyone is different and I respect that. But since I'm being asked which is stranger, I'd have to say vore simply because I don't understand the fetish as I might understand the furry fandom's fetish aspects.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Furries have been the source of previous trauma, but even then I'll say Vore.
Hell, I recall reading about REAL LIFE VORE REQUESTS on Craigslist a few years back.

Wait, what? ...how? From my experience, it's purely a thing to keep in the realm of fantasy.

Joke or not, those sorts of requests do exist. And that's just depressing.

Considering that I'm a furry myself and not into sex, I'd say vore.

For the record, just because someone is considered a "furry" does not mean that they desire sex with non-human animals. It just means that you feel that you have a deep spiritual connection with a certain animal. The stereotypical "furries" are what I like to call "extremists," kind of like the tea party; there's nothing you can do about them, but either group will probably give us a total brainfuck one way or another =P

 

[PrototypeC]

I found out about Vore the hard way. I've discovered that if someone has an extreme fetish (furryism and vore among them) then they're more likely to have a second extreme fetish, or a third, that they mix and match.

It's fascinating in the same way I find Neo-Nazis and Man vs. Food fascinating, that is to say, totally foreign to me so much so that it doesn't seem human.

 

[Jakub324]

Vore... That's some pretty crazy/gross shit. I can't belive it actually exist.

 

[AnkaraTheFallen]

Furry is weird because it will always involve non-humans.

I'd just like to say as I did earlier... Furry covers a wide range of things, admittedly some do involve fantasies about other species, but it can be as simple as they want to have sex with someone who is wearing cat ears for example... they still want to be with a person, but they like the idea of them being part cat for example... sorry if this hasn't made sense though.

 

[CG NUTS]

rule 34 has grossed me out again, bravo internet.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Vore, definitely. Now it might just be because I don't find furries all that strange (who's to say that we need be only attracted to typical human beings?), but vore has always been a bit weird to me. Being eaten or eating something (don't know if it's both) seems like such an odd thing to be aroused by.

I haven't got a problem with either (as long as it's consensual blah, blah, blah...) but I'm with the idea that vore is weirder.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Furry is kinda weird, but vore is far worse.


Congrats on being a horrible person, OP.

I hope that last sentence is joke. These are fantasies. Having such a fantasy doesn't make a person horrible.

I find the furry fetish to be far worse than Vore, but I don't think people that have the furry fetish as horrible. They are just people like you and me.

I think it would be safe to say that everybody has some kind of fetish. I've seen many so called "normal and clean people" that were quite horrible compared to most fetishists.
