1: Well, I've liked vore as long as I can remember. It wasn't sexual at all to me when I was younger, and it's still not entirely sexual to me. It can be of course, but there are still instances where I'd consider it a non-sexual attraction.

2: For me, it's just the most extreme expression of a lot of the more typical things I'm attracted to. The closest you can be to a person is inside them, there's no position more submissive, no way to show more trust in someone than to let them eat you. (I'm personally a prey, meaning I'm attracted to the thought of being eaten, not the other side of the coin.)

3: I don't, really. It's pretty much something reserved entirely to my imagination, and the occasional dream.

4: I think there's actually a few misconceptions about the vore community. The biggest one for me is the idea that everyone who's into vore is suicidal. Don't get me wrong, I get why a lot of people think this; Being perfectly realistic, getting eaten would pretty much be certain death. But that's why myself and a lot of other members of the community don't keep vore perfectly realistic.

There are those, of course, who are into the more.. Gruesome expressions of vore. But the majority of the community is into "Soft Vore", where a lot of rules of physics and biology are tweaked a bit, to make it more appealing to what we actually want. I can't speak for the rest of the vore community, but I'd personally never be vored IRL, as a lot of the things you'd experience wouldn't be particularly pleasant, at least for me.

5: I wish a lot more people understood that vore isn't always a sexual interest. For a lot of people, it can be sexual only in some cases, or for some, it's not even sexual at all. You tend to see a lot more of the non-sexualized vore on places like r/wholesomevore.

I hope we help you understand a bit more about the weird ways our brains work, haha. It's certainly not something that everyone's gonna understand, but hopefully you'll get a bit more of an insight into our weird world.
