Does anyone else IRL know about your vore fetish?

[WorkInProgress]

Absolutely no one in my family knows, but I told my girlfriend and like 2 or 3 really close friends I knew would keep it a secret (I was 13 at the time, and I wasn't completely sure how to deal with fetishes, especially not ones as weird as vore)

[GBBG]

Huh, didn't think there were more guys than girls on here, I guess I had it the wrong way around. No one knows about my interests (I think), and I don't want anyone IRL to find out.

[Awesome]

Im male and only 2 female friends know about it. I only told them because they revealed me their weird fetishes in return.

I've told a couple of my friends in an off-hand manner, but they are both very close friends that I've known for years, and we've already shared tons of personal information before, so I kind of knew them well enough to trust their reaction wouldn't be extreme. As it turns out, neither shares my interest in vore at all, but neither was particularly negative about it either. One has teased me once or twice about it in a generally harmless, playful manner ("haha, this weird thing must turn you on, you big weirdo" kind of stuff); the other has clearly stated that they are freaked out by the very concept and find it disturbing, but they have their own weird fetishes, so we live and let live. It *would* be cool to have a close friend or romantic partner to "do stuff together" with, but I've kind of accepted that vore is a rare enough fetish that this isn't likely to happen; I'll just take the bemused acceptance.

I wish the poll allowed for non-sex/gender-binary people. I don't know whether to answer as a man (since if I HAVE to be one or the other it's that), as a "female" (since that's the body I have whether I identify as a woman or not), or to hold out for something like "I'm neuter/agendered and..." (which would be the most accurate response for me).

FWIW, IRL, I don't tell most people. I do post my art on my Facebook and Instagram without filtering it, though, so my parents and friends do in theory know I draw the kind of stuff I do. I don't actually talk about it with them though so they probably just see it as gory fantasy art and so on, not knowing the significance it has for me. My ex knew, and he was wonderful about it. He was afraid of me when he first moved into the house, mind, but as he got to know me he opened up and accepted me completely. We even did some knife play, and any time he cut himself by accident (say, when cooking, or whatnot) he'd come find me so I could taste his blood. He also let me gnaw at him (gently) and generally be bitey as an expression of affection. Most of my vorey gorey stuff can't really be acted out IRL, but those fetishes I have which can be without doing unacceptable harm to the other person, we did do a lot of. He was... very kind. I miss him a lot. (In a way we're kind of still together, but he lives in North Dakota now and may not be back for a long time yet and... it's complicated. In practice, I'm single and he's my ex. But... yeah, I dunno. Like I said, it's complex.)

Right now, there's only one person I talk to about my dark side. Otherwise, I keep it under wraps. I really appreciate this person's willingness to listen to my bullshit and look at my horrifying drawings. He's my safety valve sometimes. I feel safe pacing and grumbling to him, except for the usual anxiety I always have about being annoying/creepy/etc. He cracks awful dark jokes, encouraging my worst thoughts and ideas. Which I'm not always sure is a good thing. But at least he's playing along with my bizarreness instead of being put off by it.

[NameHere]

I've told four people to help relieve the stress of being a vore. One was my brother, and the others were freinds. One, who I thought was most likely to judge me, ended up being a vore too. This was all a few weeks ago.

[aGuppy]

Only a handful of close friends.

[NotTadpole]

No way, José. People in my current real-life environment always thought I was a creep at best and slut at worst for thinking lap-sitting is cute, I'd have been humiliated and dehumanized for years to come if word got out that I'm into vore.

My internet friends are more open-minded and accepting of it thankfully (even if they aren't into it themselves), but they all live very far away from me. I wish that wasn't the case...

[JediPadawanJess]

Only one friend and her sister knows that I'm into vore, fortunately they don't care, her sister does joke/meme about it.

[PhantomWolf]

Only two of my closest friends know, MY ONLY two friends. One is just as perverted as me and the other has likely forgotten. I don't intend for vore hobby to be known by others and I plan to take this secret to my grave

[Zangoose]

Nope. Nuh uh. Never. This fetish is my biggest secret when it comes to IRL. Some of my online friends know about it (I confessed it on a whim, but I personally don't think it paid off), but I'm not revealing this to anyone I know IRL.

[Kitsouille]

I think a friend might have guessed it but I'm not sure. I didn't do or say anything "suspicious", I think it's a "rawr" gif I shared a few years ago but it's not vore-related and is barely suggestive at all. He asked me if I was into vore and I said no. I'm starting to feel weird about it, like ia slow realization in retrospect, I think he's indirectly asking me every few months. The most recent occurrence was while playing the game Grounded (game where you're about a quarter of an inch tall), he asked "would you like to be this small?" and "what would you do if you were this small?" with a curious tone, as if he was expecting a specific answer and wasn't just a normal question.

He's the kind of person that never jump to conclusions and can keep secrets but confessing being into vore never seems like a good idea.

I shared it with my mate early on in our relationship. she found it a bit weird until she'd pondered on it some more, and then realized she liked it as much as I did.
Of course internet fur-friends know about it from my artwork, and a few of them are local friends from the city I was in at the time, but even then that's only a handful more, and being furries, we're all into weird things of one kind or another. Aside from that, one other friend I've shared it with, since we're close and chat about all manner of things.

Maybe he's into that kind of stuff himself, and was hoping he could find someone else who's into it as well?

I'm considering it too but I don't wanna misread him and get into an awkward conversation nor do I want to be the one opening that conversation

next time he does that, i'd just ask him why he keeps asking me that kind of stuff.

[xXxBadxApplexXx]

A couple friends know, and some enemies too, which is fucked up, but I'm always drunk and telling people shit. My special gentleman friend knows, but he's not into it haha.

[xXxBadxApplexXx]

also I'm pretty sure my mom knows because when I got my wisdom teeth removed the anesthesia gave me diarrhea of the mouth. I dunno what I said, but I'm sure she's repressed it real, REAL hard.

[Slappy]

Offline, nobody knows to the best of my knowledge. But offline, I basically don't have a social life so the only people who I could tell if I wanted are family members and co-workers. I don't particularly want to tell them and I don't think any of them would particularly want to know.

However, I socialise a lot more online and my friends (who, by the way, aren't into it) do know that I'm into vore after I joined a call with them one day to discover that, for some reason, they were checking out art for loads of different fetishes and they asked me to suggest one.

If I were to ever seek romantic companionship, I would tell my partner about my interest in vore if/when it looks like the relationship could be getting serious. I don't want to be in a relationship where I have to hide something about myself like it's a shameful secret and constantly worry about being found out, all while either knowing my partner would judge me for it or having no idea how they would even feel about it.
