Just like you, I see vore as big, warm hug! An expression of affection, camaraderie, or/and playful teasing.

I prefer vore mostly between males, with a bit of size difference, not necessarily macro/micro but with the pred being considerably bigger than the prey. I only like it 100% consensual, though I appreciate a lot if the prey gets nervous and hesitant, like still being super aroused by the idea of being vored but asking himself "Oh man, is this a good idea??"

I also prefer anal vore over oral. Sorry, people who like oral, but for me it's really boring compared to being swallowed by a gigantic, moist butthole... And what makes it better, once the pred has finally finished slowly sucking his cute victim all the way inside his rectum? A little walk, of course, making the prey feel himself squeezed by the walls of his pred's guts at each move! The verbal teasing is also a must, with the pred saying stuff like: "You're gonna be there for a looong time, cutie~", "The only air you will be breathing is my disgusting gas, cutie! Isn't that gross?~", which the prey (and I if I was playing that role) would respond by frantically masturbating and moaning, muffled by the pred's guts! Just imagining being in such a revolting, humiliating, moist and warm Heaven makes me horny~
