I chatted online with a guy once that wanted to be eaten so badly that he seemed willing to let someone cut him up and eat him in real life. He still preferred the fantasy of being swallowed whole, but it was less important then being able to convince himself that someone might actually eat him. Overall it was definitely kind of awkward and I couldn't really tell how serious he was.

Also a lot of people who draw soft vore also draw cooking and cannibalism fantasies as well.

That's like saying there is a link between vore and scat, big bellies, etc. They are separate things that may connect with some people, but there is not a link for everybody especially for those who are turned away from it.

I think that's unlikely. I was into vore before I knew what it was called, before I'd seen anything about online communities based on it, and I'm sure that plenty of others were (and still are) the same. Vore porn is more accessible than it was in the past, of course, and a few people who wouldn't have been into it otherwise might have gotten interested through online exposure to it, but I don't think this would account for the majority of vorarephiles in the world.

Is there more than that? Sure, but the fact that I don't know about them makes them few and far between. I'd be hard pressed to believe there are more than 100 vorarephiles in the county given how rare this fetish is.


I wouldn't be at all surprised it was more than 10 times that. It may even be 100 times more prevalent. Vore is rare, but not so rare that only 1 in 5,000 people are into it. The majority of people with a particular fetish or paraphilia don't go out of their way to talk about it on the internet. There may only be 100 people out of 500,000 who are into vore to the extent that they seek it out and talk about it online, but there are far more who would be interested in it to at least some degree. Most people are pretty closeted and private about their sexual inclinations, especially in conservative societies, and vore is one that many people are likely to try to repress.

A significant proportion (if not the majority) of vore IS cannibalism - an unrealistic fantasy of cannibalism, but still a depiction of people (or members of the same non-human species) eating each other. This is not association with stuff which is tangentially related, it's fundamental to the most common types of vore. Obviously there's also plenty of vore which is NOT cannibalistic - interspecies, non-digestion - so in that sense there is not a link for everybody, but a cannibalism fetish is a subset of vorarephilia.

Ive done a calculation where roughly 0.00001259628% (if using forum's members divided by the world population count). Small but it's enough to notice in jokes and unlucky occurrences.

I'm sorry, but I think it's a bad calculation.
Not simply because, as said above by other users, not all the voraphilies are in this site (so the user count underestimate the total number, but we don't know by what extent), but mainly because not all the people in the world have a good private access or access at all to the world wide web (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users). Actually a minority have it. Given that this is a site written in English, probably something nearby 90% of the users are USA+West Europe.
BUT, I find that a similar calculation can be somehow useful.
So, trying to use a similar ratio of yours, we have something like 95000/800000000 ≈ 1/10000. This is almost certainly an underestimation, but we can use it to set a point: more that 1 every 10000 people is, by some extent, into vore. Maybe is 1 out of 9500, maybe 1 out of 150, I don't know. But I find this interesting.
Chronic lurker, that's all.

It is a small group. If you look at the deviantarts for some of the bigger producers like Vorefile and Madman and Tall Teeth, you’re looking at a few thousand. Vorefile alone has 2.5 thousand watchers.
