Apparently psychologists are the only ones that "get" vore
http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Vorarephilia
Aside from not mentioning full tour and things like that, this is astonishingly accurate.
*insert war drama voice here*
In other words, we've been discovered. This can only mean one of us gave it away. Turn yourself in presently, or we'll confiscate all food and water until you do.
(Or that a psychologist visits this site frequently... Which I somehow doubt.)

Vorarephilia (often misspelled voreaphilia or voraphilia because of their similar pronunciation)
When people say things like this, it always makes me laugh. Or snicker. Or at least gaze blankly at my screen with a passing wry thought.
There's nothing 'official' about vorarephilia versus voraphilia; even getting past combining the latin and greek roots (phagophilia would be much better, but people seem to shirk from saying that out loud), there's no way it would be built out of the verb infinitive. It would be a gerund, like vorandophilia. Eating-love, not to-eat-love. But that's as clumsy as vorarephilia, so if people like to say voraphilia, they should proceed.

It's a bit brief, but it works. Much better than the article currently on Wikipedia in terms of depth, but still a little hands-off in comparison to WikiFur's article. Then again, I think the latter was also copypasta'd from Wikipedia's original vorarephilia article, to a fair extent, though the furries there did throw in their own two cents.

I actually didn't know about that wikia, so thanks for pointing it out. On a related note, I once edited the wikipedia definition of vorarephilia, then had someone in class quote said definition as part of their project on paraphilias. I was tempted to call plagerism on him, but I didn't want any questions being directed my way.

Re: Apparently psychologists are the only ones that "get" vo
For some reason, every single definition I have ever read about vore left me with a feeling that was a little bit like... no that's not it. I find them all wrong in tiny little ways =P Even the one on here had me shake my head when I read it for the first time

Re: Apparently psychologists are the only ones that "get" vo
I find the Wikipedia definition very accurate, I never read the wikifur one but I don't like furry stuff in any way so I have no reason to go there.
either way vore is different for everyone so no one definition can be 100% spot on.

What makes me snicker is that the true name for the fetish is phagophilia.
Some one without an academic background didn't want to be referred to as a phaggot and decided to take a latin word and swap in a greek suffix. A silly fix that will ultimately be boiled away once we return to proper terminology.
But deep down he knows what he is.
We're all phaggots.

And as my love is sized, my fear is so:
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear;
Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.

As a gay may, I whole-heartedly approve of being a phaggot.

Re: Apparently psychologists are the only ones that "get" vo
This is actually a direct copy of the Wikipedia article from like 2007.
The Wikipedia article gets changed all the time (it's tiny now), the first time I actually read it, this was what was there, even the pictures are the same.

That being said, yeah it's been taken before BUT! I did discuss this sort of thing in my psychology of understanding sex course. I have to say after listening to some of the other students I felt a bit more "normal"...especially after the one who said he had a sexual fetish about leaves crunching. We had a very cool open class XD.

This feels far more like it was written by a member of the vore community than an actual psychologist. Reads like a beginner's guide to Eka's Portal.

Man, I wish I had the opportunity to take a course like that. That's awesome.
And yes, as others have said, I'm betting that the wikia article was written by one or more people who have this fetish. Serious psychology as far as I know hasing really touched vore; being a fantasy fetish, it rarely causes behavioral problems directly.

Vore captures the essence of this fetish so well. It sounds harsh and formidable, and is reminiscent of 'carnivore.' The Latin conjugation for 'to eat' is vorare as well.

Yup! I have no problem with 'vore'. I like the term.
The infinitive is vorare. It's just silly when people correct voraphilia to vorarephila. The infinitive of a verb doesn't nominify it - the gerund does, even in Latin. And if people -are- going to get technical about it, mixing latin and greek roots preclude the conversation getting too far along the line of serious.

Re: Apparently psychologists are the only ones that "get" vo
When I say the word out loud, I'm always going to go with voraphilia or voraphile. Vorarephilia sounds clunky to me when spoken out loud, whether or not it is etymologically correct. I've always sided whole-hreatedly with the descriptive side of linguistics, so to me, it is more important how the word is being used by the majority of people than nit-picking over how the word came into use or what its roots are. Vore as a term is so ingrained at this point that it would be extreemly difficult and rather pointless to change it. Besides, as my avatar shows, I have a vested interest in voraphilia over phagophilia
