What was it like for you to "come to terms" with vore?

[Gone]

Well for me, I got into it much later than most on here. I'm 35, and my first real experience with vore was when I was 20, I believe - whenever Shrek came out. Before that I had been kind of into giantess/giant stuff, but nothing too much. Out of curiosity when I saw the dragons scene in Shrek I decided to poke around about it. The internet was obviously in its early(ish) stages then, so there wasn't much, but as the internet evolved and more complex and diverse sites came about I started to get more into the vore community. Honestly I didn't get fully involved until around 2010, and I didn't begin to make accounts or comment until 2013. For me there wasn't much in the way of 'coming to terms' with it, since I got into it when I was already an adult. I didn't really have to hide it from anyone so I've always considered it to be pretty normal.

So I originally found out about vore from playing Bowser's Inside Story and the movie Antz before I even knew the word vore and what it meant. All I knew was that it felt good when I saw the characters get eaten alive. The day I found out about vore was the day I went to see Men in Black 2 and I thought the vore scene in that was pretty hot. So I Googled the scene on YouTube after when I got home and saw the word vore in some of the recommended YouTube videos. I searched up vore and I saw I wasn't the only person turned on by this.
I haven't really come to terms with it because I still think it's weird and that I'm weird for liking it (no offense to me or to everyone on this site).
But like honestly I envy the people who talk about their relationships that they tell their partners that they like vore because in all the relationships I've had I know all my exes would freakkkkk out if I told them I was into being swallowed alive.
But you know who gives a fuck what people think of you right?

I can remember being 8 or 9 and being very excited watching the Barbara Mandrel Show. They would bring out these big puppet people for skits. It usually ended with one of the sisters being eatin by one of them. I would feel excited watching their legs kick up in the air out of the the puppet mouth. The soft vore has always been what I like but I do feel bad when I see the real hard stuff. The blood and body parts is too much for me. Lately the breast and cockvore have been my thing. Too bad there is not more of it out there.

I first discovered that I was into vore around 14 years ago, and I started to mentally reject it on some level, since I thought it was a sick fetish and I would be a sick person if I liked it. I've recently gotten fed up with my tendency to dance around vore topics and vore-ish words, and so I've been kinda forcing myself to explore the Eka's Portal forums abit more and kinda try to engage in the community. I've started to accept that I'm just a weird person with a weird fetish now, and have started to embrace it.

it was in an age of 3 were the family was watching wildlife documentaries what created my interest. out of this point i am a vore and used every picture of predators i got. i even was playing rl roleplays with my friends in kindergarten at an age of 4. but i never thought it was something like a fetish other people could have too when i were growing up some more. the first time i got the knowledge about what vore is and that there will be others too who are into it was around 2000 where i found some sites on the internet when i was an adult already.

[ChibiToy]

I knew i was into it before i knew about anything sexual, so i really just grew up with it. I didn't need to get used to it because i already was. I just kinda knew i was weird.

So, true

I was 5 years old or younger when i already was into girls mouths and bellies. So I don't know it any other way.
Of course, I knew it was rather "strange" and I learned that it's an actual fetish many years later.
But that was just the moment when I understood myself a bit better.

For anyone who hates his fetish take these words to heart:
I was not once in my life ashamed of what I like, I know most people think: "OMG I'm not normal"... I'm proud of being different
because this is what makes life interesting.(Just imaging a world where everything looks the same, everyone likes the same, every food tastes the same, etc... THAT is "normal")
Now that would be really boring world, wouldn't it? Besides, having met all kinds of people and seen all kinds of things in the internet I can assure you:
It's normal, not to be normal!
At least you have the courage to stand up for what you like! If anything, THAT'S the part of you you should hate

I mean look at certain politicians: Standing up saying "I hate underage porns and I will do all I can to stop it!" and as soon as they step off the podium they
swing open their lap-top and wank off on these... Telling "my hand was moving on its own" and "I don't know how it got my computer" if it's discovered

In the end, even "normal" people just watching porns have a fetish they probably don't even realize themself: Voyeurism
Because they get off on other people undressing and/or having sex.
At least, that's my theory, because I honestly can't get off on a normal porn.
I don't want to look at other people committing the act, I prefer to have it myself

I tell you, EVERY person has at least one fetish, knowing it or not!
At least, you know yours and have the opportunity to learn what makes you tick.

EDIT: I fully came to terms with my fetish by accepting that it's (probably) followed by an incredibly painful death...

[VorishHorish]

Its never really been a problem with me. Earlier when I was in my teens I hid it very carefully now I just treat it as "normal" porn.

[Ksalom]

Not sure when it became apparent to me, started out as curiosity for the most part and I was reluctant to indulge the idea for a long time, but eventual I gave into my curiosity and it just progressed from there.
I think for me it has a lot to do with the power dynamic of giving yourself up to someone or having complete control.
Wouldn't say that I have fully accepted it as a part of myself, I often feel like im wired for thinking that way and I have never met or talked to someone with the same interest, plus I give way to much of a shit about what people think of me than is healthy.

I have a pretty easy time because for me, my interest in vore exists in parallel to a more "vanilla" sexuality. It's like two halves that intertwine but are not interdependent. I can compartmentalize it—sequester it away as a curiosity. That, and having a more distant relationship with sexuality overall, gives it a more unchallenging role in my life and psyche.

Ho boy, I remember discovering vore officially when I was about 16 years old. It was completely by accident. It was an image, a comic actually, of a dragon swallowing a mousey prey. The moment I saw it, I immediately had a mental and physical reaction. It was an odd mixture of attraction and revulsion. I immediately clicked away from the picture, turned off the computer, and walked away. A few hours later...I went back to find the picture. The same feelings as before came, the one of desire and disgust. I turned off the computer again...and then turned it back on about 30 minutes later. I couldn't get enough of that damned comic. At the time, I didn't know why I found it so enticing, and wouldn't fully comprehend it for another 4 years. It was an interesting journey of self-discovery, that's to be sure. By the time I was 20, I had learned all I could about vore, accepted that it was something I enjoyed, and moved on from there. There is a part of me that still feels embarrassed and disgusted by the fact that I find vore attractive, but I have learned to live with those feelings.

Anyway, that's pretty much my story on the matter .

Discovered it when I was about 11 and I never had a problem with it. I thought it was just something that happens in life, thanks to the prevalence of stories of where children get eaten by Big Bad Wolves, half-naked little boys get eaten by snakes in the jungle and adventurers get eaten by monsters. My vore fetish kind of developed as my knowledge on sex and sexuality developed and so it started as "just get naked so they can better taste you as they eat you" to "would they like to play with your thing before they eat you?" to "let's get all carnal and mate and breed and then they'll eat you".
I mean, I knew it was weird in that it wasn't something you talked about in public (like sex in general), but at the same time it wasn't something that dropped me into pits of guilt and despair simply because I liked it.

[KnightleyPaine]

I found out one day, was okay with it and don't talk about it because it's a fetish and that's a private thing, I just come to here.

There were no complications because I don't consider what weird quirk gets my dick hard to be particularly meaningful.

Ho boy this was alot more emotional than i thought it would be, but here goes.
I dont remember how young i was when the notion first came to me, that tickling interest, the curiosity. But its been with me for as long as i can remember. The idea of being food, the idea of getting eaten alive all mushed up tightly within something warm and tight.

It was a dream i had that i think was triggered by a scene from Chip an Dale Rescue rangers. I cannot for the life of me remember what episode but i do remeber the scene clearly.
Oscar, the big mouse with a fetish for cheese had managed to get mixed into dough while a human (I think he was a burglar of some sort) was trying to figure out how to make doughnuts in order to keep some sort of cover story. I dont remember the details.

But i do however remember that i had a dream about it, and that i told people about it, and people laughed at me.
I was in kindergarten, so how much of this memory that is actually and what is fabricated is sadly unknown. But i know i said to my teacher, and the small group of people there (Kids are evil sometimes) what i had dreamt, then there was laughter, and i walked away.

Still to this day i have issues with this. But i know that i love it, and that its makes my whole body tingle with excitement. Thing is that i guess that i know enough about myself to tell that i like it, but during the years i have grown further and further away from accepting it.
Its hard to explain, but thinking back on its makes me feel nostalgic, and sad. I only wish that i had found this place sooner than i did, and that i had found others with a similar interest earlier than i did.

For me when i am alone then this is the best stuff ever. The ideas that run through my head, the scenarios i put myself in, the stories i could tell and the world i want to show others.
But there is so much fear looming over it that i don't dare speak about it with others i meet in real life. Its scares me, makes me worried, makes me feel more alone than anything else.

The fear of being ostracized hangs over my head everyday when i think of this, which sucks big time.

Its a strange form of love-hate relationship i suppose have with myself i suppose when it comes to vore. I love it, and i hate it.

[sndwchbtch]

at first i was very weirded out, thinking that there has to be something wrong with me. but over time i've learned to understand it and now i'm not weirded out anymore.
