I think what freaks me out the most in vore (beyond the stuff that’s torture to characters by eating loved ones) is internal organs being perfectly pristine and clean. ~~Like intestines devoid of any waste.~~ Just unsettles me.

yes I’m weird.

Honest accounts of vore fetishism aren’t numeral enough to see many clear patterns, and even if an account of vorephelia is reported honestly it’s hard to tell if additional fetishes mentioned aren’t just an attempt to create an image of normality.

Furthermore most instances of vore material are not based on physical or realistic phenomena (like diapers for example), and just like the Willywonka Blueberry girl thing the fetish fringes on concepts that are highly cultural and contrived.

I can see and imagine more furry instances of vore fetishism occurring. Snakes for example need live prey to thrive, and consuming the live animal is some of the only excitement you will ever see from this otherwise dormant creature.

Lots of kids movies are centered around the vulnerability of small mammals were carnivorous creatures are made out to be villains, and any approachable spinoff of the carnivorous villian is probaly going to be the ‘light diner’ that likes to play with his food, and emotionally charged encounters with his prey could end in some kind of demented romance, or other excuse for the adorable animal to not be consumed in front of the target kids audience.

As for the actual consumption there appears to be two versions. Soft core and hard core vore. Soft core being the more popular one where the consumption is reduced to some non fatal organic copulation, and hard core vore being based on the raw reality of being chewed up and digested.

Understanding the difference between these two can help us understand the cognitive dissonance and pathologies that allow such a fetish to exist, and help us understand the fetish as a whole.

The fact the soft core version is more popular than the more realistic, emotionally charged counterpart can mean many things. In science if we want something to be true, we try to assume it’s not, so one assumption to consider is personal or interpersonal dishonesty being prevalent. There is much more to consider. The actual occurrence of death seems to be a roadblock in even the most demented pathologies. People explicitly into the dead might have mechanisms that keep them from fully realizing what death (or life) means.

The theme of death goes on to also separate balloon fetishism. For many people the popping of balloons is analog to the orgasm, but a lot of balloon fetishist equate this to the death of the balloon, and can even become emotionally distraught from balloon popping.

I’m coming back to this. Just going to eat and see what others have to add.

That’s how I feel. I prefer humans and humanoid characters but furries are also nice.

@LightningBolt
The movie style is gorgous. Speaking of it and Spike, I loved how they gave him more scales.

@StrangeGirl
I’m not into vore either. It kind of scares me and grosses me out for multiple reasons.

But looking at vore art doesn’t hurt anybody so you do you. Kinda don’t know what you mean by fetishes people are dishonest about though.

@Ninji
I guess that makes sense a bit. Some fetishes start when people are young and don’t even know what fetishes are (it’s basically a fascination that turns sexual when the person gets older). Lots of cartoons about carnivores wanting to eat their prey probably did kickstart that fetish for some young people.

I like scat partially because I’ve always liked things that have to do with toilets and partially because I don’t see how anyone could like butts without liking everything that comes out of them.

Isn’t this part true for just about any other fetish, though?

It’s a common theme that the more ‘taboo’ a fetish is, the more inconsistent the data collection is. No matter how discrete or intimate the data collection is made out to be.

@Twilights-Secret

@Ninji

Some level of psychology and deductive reasoning goes into drug development. I made the comment about science failing to cure depression, because when you ask people abstract things like ‘how they feel’ you almost never get a useful answer, people will self evaluate themselves as being better, just because they were convinced the drug is effective, and some people get this unexpected seratonin, and they’re brain automatically thinks it’s being poisoned (well it is) and neuro-endocrine structures like the Agymadala turn the extra seratonin into an adrenal-cortisol horror story.

A lot of first hand experience comes from both integration into mental health institutions, and being a fetish porn artist.

I do believe fetishes are both psychological, and physiological phenomena that can be explained. One of the borders to explaining them is the fact that there are people who don’t want this to be the case. There are people that use unreliable logic bordering on fringe science, to try to convince as many people as possible that fetishes have some inherit randomness, or some level of personal choice comes from the firmament of the flat earth.

Well, good luck. Psychology is a difficult field. I mean, just for starters, more “taboo” fetishes are less consistent. Could that just be reporting, or because it’s actually that way? Or perhaps people who develop taboo fetishes are less interested in being “normal” so they’re less consistent with their peers?

And it’s not that crazy to say fetishes are highly unpredictable. That’s how personality is, and things like phobias and if someone prefers milk or dark chocolate. A lot of times phobias come from an acute event in someone’s life and you can’t predict those, maybe it’s something like that. Though you can say something like “people abused as children are more likely to be ABDLs”.

I’ve also heard that someone’s susceptibility to forming fetishes seems to have some genetic component, though it doesn’t seem to make any particular fetish more likely.

It’s not easy as fetishes are often a unique experience for everyone. I will still bet my bottom dollar that there is always patterns to be observed. The human brain cannot fundamentally stray that far from naturally geometry.

Anywho this is for Twilight Secret. Not the picture in of itself, but I’m posting it here for you.
EDIT:It’s diaper fetish stuff in the spoiler btw.

Eh, leaks are kinda against the whole reason I like diapers. Poor thing.

I really wish anyone really knew all the ins and outs of fetishes. Just spent like 5 hours vectoring grimdark crap I wish I never did (of a pony getting executed). I wish I knew how to escape the shadows of my own mind.

Oh Well. First time I’ve had issues with it in like quite a few months, so it hasn’t been too bad on the longer scale. But now I’ve stayed up all night… arg. Pain.

I’m glad I’m conflicted about it, though. I don’t know how I’d live with myself if I wasn’t.

I think you just need to separate yourself from it. Omorashi i add a fetish of mine, but I’m never going to force it opun the unwilling so who cares.

As long as you ain’t killing no one draw that freaky shit. Other people will appreciate it [even though you’ll get a mountain of negative dweebs who don’t understand art] and after you get your fill of the dark side you’ll find yourself not thinking about it so much.

Quote from diaper thread. Some interesting fetish statistics in general on rankings.

@Twilights-Secret

Some surprising tag numbers, statstics, data, etc:

Panties - 31,204
Bondage - 19,993
Foalcon - 13,238
Vore - 9,131
Diaper fetish - 6,571
Crossdressing - 5,539
Inflation - 5,424
Ballgag - 4,493
Morbidly Obese - 4,376
Urine - 4,193
Foot Fetish - 3,908
Poop - 3,309
Scat - 2,089
Watersports - 1,921
Pissing - 1,643
Wet Diaper - 1,504
Messy Diaper - 1,153
Tickle Torture - 1,148
Omorashi - 581

Complex:
(Scat OR poop) AND Diaper fetish - 1,040
Scat OR poop - 3,314
Urine AND diaper fetish - 1,521
Diaper fetish AND explicit - 322

I have to say, I’m really surprised how far up there “Diaper Fetish” is. Even above crossdressing, inflation, ball gag and foot fetish! And apparently almost half the pictures with urine also have a wet diaper, and about a third the pictures with scat/poop also have diapers.

Also what’s shocking is this - 12% of the images on the site are explicit, but only 5% of diaper fetish images are explicit.
(Using the fact I got 210k results on “explicit” with “everything” filter and current site index is 1,684k)

Addendum: okay, if you go by “watersports” instead of “urine”, then things get interesting. I think that’s probably because wet diapers don’t typically count for watersports since they’re about diaper fetish, not the urine itself.

Going and getting more data:
Watersports, NOT diaper fetish - 1,814
Watersports, diaper fetish - 107

My guess was correct. To review also:
Urine - 4,193
Wet Diaper - 1,504

So there must be about 700 urine that aren’t diapers or watersports. Interesting.

But I’m nicely surprised that watersports is… lol, only about 20% more common than wet diapers.

~~odds of future wife getting into it are surprisingly high based on this data~~

I’m really surprised Foalcon is even more common than vore. Go figure. I feel bad for pedos, now, since most of them are decent and never act on it. Perhaps not even any more than violent video games make people killers.

Well, I have a lot of fetishes but 2 stand out in my mind right now so I’ll focus on those. Micro and Quadruple amputee.

My quadruple amputee fetish can be split in 2 parts. The prosthetics and the person themself. I guess part of it is growing up with a lot of scifi, I’ve seen a lot of really cool prosthetics both fictional and real. There’s a lot that can be done with the idea and it’s really interesting to see how it gets used in scifi and real life.

The other part would be the person themselves, It’s a very real and serious type of injury that i in no way take lightly.But i think it comes down to they look fun to cuddle and do stuff with. I’m not super into the idea of helplessness and I prefer when consent is involved, but their limblessness makes me want to hold them and play with them like a living body pillow.

My micro fetish kinda has roots on both sides of the perspective. I like the idea of tiny people and holding them and beign sexual with them, but I also like the idea of being the tiny person this is happening to. I’m not too into the fact that it get’s paired with vore a lot but I guess unbirth counts as vore and and it works really well in that regard as I also have an unbirth fetish. Though that one’s a little harder to explain so that’s a possible topic for another day.

I was a bit surprised foot fetish was lower than I expected. Then I remembered since there are less anthro and EG pics than ponies, that would probably explain it at least a little.

I suppose images are a way to indulge in such fantasies without hurting anyone directly.

Hoof Fetish - 1,500
Not too surprising, considering hooves are pretty inhuman.

human OR eqg OR humanized - 224k

Using the search “safe OR suggestive OR questionable OR explicit OR semi-grimdark OR grimdark” to get the actual number of images on the site (since just using the index number includes removed ones) - 1,515k

So,
224:1,515
= 1:6.76

So if we multiply “foot fetish” by 6.76 that should give you about what you’d expect, maybe give or take like 50%, if the show weren’t all ponies.

So about 25k? That seems a bit right for a major/common fetish. Then again, that’s probably a huge overestimate since them being ponies doesn’t stop people from drawing them as human for their foot fetish art.

Hah, I remember my naive days when I was glad to have ponies distract me from my diaper fetish. The day I realized there was art of ponies in diapers…

I guess doing this analysis on some anime booru might be a better way to get that data, though.

@LeoNero
Same! Pleasantly surprised at that. I guess I got something to really be thankful for next time I wonder where all the good diaperpony art is.

@ILoveMyoozik
I can only dream.

It seems to be getting better, though.

Does it make it better that I wonder what it’s like to be hanged rather than wanting to see others hanged? Especially not interested in seeing humans strung up.

@ILoveMyoozik
Scat is for the fetish. Poop is just the stuff. Though poop implies scat, so maybe they need to fix that tagging.

FuckItsDaytimeAgain

I am the sober horse

tfw you read the whole thread and you are pumped up to post just to realize the thread died 6 months ago.

I guess ill post anyways, but won’t make it long in case I get ignored.
(sorry, I ignored my statement, wall of text incoming)

So many fetishes, but how did I get here…
Ill guess I start by how my brain slowly became attracted to animal forms, Probably not considered a fetish inside this site, but at the end it is. Nothing sexual at first, since it clearly happened when I was too young.

Lets start with an incredibly good movie, Brother Bear (Tierra de Osos as we know it here).
I cant remember how many times I watched that movie. Back on those days I used to just watch what my sister put on the TV, so it just happened. Its funny cause I can barely remember how old I was or anything else at that time, but the movie itself, that remains.

Well the movie it filled with some really cool stuff furries would fascinate about if it were to be aired today, transforming into a animal being the main one. I could talk a lot about this movie (Phil Collin GUYS, PHILL COLLINS), but I was too young the last time I watched it and lets not get distracted.

The next one is bad: Over the Hedge.
Okay, I don’t really know why, but I sympathized a lot with the characters in this movie. I remember when I used the computer to search for extra content on the website, I just wanted more. Had no idea what existed on the internet at that time (was it 2006-8, im 20 now so I was 8-10 at the time). There was something in the idea of being an animal that got stuck on my head. (also the exterminator 8000 or whatever, well it looked like something interesting, I wanted to see it working :X).

Last would be how I found this fandom. So its 2012, im a somewhat lonely puber who changed school do to bulling, but now has a few but very good friends. Im not into any TV shows or anything, im just into machines and stuff like ive always liked, play World of Tanks every day and do research about WWII war machines was my hobbies at the time.

But that thing between your legs is there, and curiosity abounds.
So I’m in my laptop, looking for stuff as always, probably browsing porn hub, video after video, whatever made me hard.
I actually got into some really wierd stuff, no idea why, but from the start, the normal stuff always disappointed me. I actually remember a video about a couple of transexuals/genderbenders I really wonder how I got there.
And in between the BDSM stuff and some shit, I eventually found Pony Play…
I disgusted and amused at the same time. Some people actually like acting like horses… Sexually!.
Unfortunately, most of the images you find about it are viralized images people make fun of, and some are disgusting.
Eventually looking for ~~Fap material~~ images about Pony Play come across something…

… A pony porn tumblr (generally called clop at the time as we all probably remember).

BTW I had never seen drawn porn until that date.

Ill leave it there. all I know is after I saw that I was incredibly intrigued that people actually liked a show “for little girls”,(I also felt a little bit less weird for liking the 2008 care bears as I was 10 when it aired) and guess what, THEY EVEN MADE PORN ABOUT IT.
But im a good scientist, and what do scientists do when they don’t know? They research. So I did. Later that day, I was hidden in my room (long story on why, but with the door open and one ear up) searching for: My Little Pony Episodio 1 (ye I watched it in my native Spanish the first time).
For whatever reason (probably had to do with the porn I saw first) I had a boner and a huge grin for at least the first 2 episodes. Never happened again tho (thankfully).

So yeah, for some reason I didn’t run away from all this stuff
I am even more confused now
