Vore and the F-List

I'm not sure where to begin.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the website, the F-List provides a place for people to carry out sexual roleplaying using specifically constructed characters---characters which are not supposed to represent the person behind the character necessarily.  I just found the site yesterday and I'm still overwhelmed with the enormity of the character development side.  
If this website does nothing else, it has the most comprehensive list of possible fetishes that I've encountered---it makes Fet Life's list look vanilla in comparison.

I won't list all the fetishes, nor attempt to talk about all of them at this time.  I'm sure I'll return to the list in the future.  For now, here are all the options for the Vore fetish (as in cannibalism)

Absorption
Vore by means of merging with the predator, or being absorbed and/or dissolved by an anatomical fluid of the predator.

Alternative Vore
The act of physically consuming another character, performed through an orifice other than the mouth, penis, vagina or anus, or receiving such actions.

Anal Vore
Vore where something or someone is swallowed into the anus.

Cock Vore
The act of physically consuming another character, performed through the penis, often resulting in the prey character being lodged into the testicles, or being the recipient of such actions.

Digestion
Engaging in a vore-related RP in which the prey character will be digested in whatever fluid(s) are applicable.

Disposal
Engaging in a vore-related RP in which the prey will be consumed, digested and released as fecal matter and/or urine.

Hard Vore
Engaging in vore in which the prey character is chewed and/or eaten piece by piece, or otherwise physically mutilated by the act of being consumed.

Realistic Vore
Engaging in a vore scene in which realistic physiology is taken into account; typically connotates hard vore and digestion.


Soft Vore
Engaging in vore in which the prey character is consumed whole, causing no or minimal damage to the character due to the vore process.

Unbirthing
The act of physically consuming another character through the vagina and into the womb, or being the recipient of such actions.


Unrealistic Vore
Engaging in a vore scene in which realistic physiology is not taken into account; typically connotates soft vore.


Vore - Being Predator
Being the consuming partner in a vore or unbirth situation, acting as the predator.


Vore - Being Prey
Being the consumed partner in a vore-related RP situation.

Again, I'm not sure where to begin.  Maybe I'll begin at my own beginning, when I was first in love and wanted nothing more than to be with the guy with whom I was in love.  Even now, in love with Lord Ristretto, I still feel that intensity of attachment, of wanting to submerge into him, into us, and not wanting to be an individual anymore.  In any romantic relationship, there are those times when the people individually, or the relationship itself, seems to devour them.

Perhaps this is where vore begins: the desire to devour and be devoured.  A fetish attached to BDSM, the person who becomes devoured loses themselves in the role of slave, becoming only the wishes of the dom/domme.  To be physically eaten by this person takes it one step further: to become the dom/domme.  

When Hannibal Lecter eats people, he's an insane cannibal, a psychopath, a serial killer, and more than anything (and mostly enjoyed as being) a freak.  The Hannibal Lecter world doesn't stop for very long to discuss the reasons why he does this, and Thomas Harris's last novel on the subject, Hannibal, tied his cannibalism to eating his sister when they were children.  Too simple, I think.

Vore isn't just about obliteration of the individual, it's about the melding of two individuals physically and, presumably, psychologically.  The taking of flesh into the body is a basic sexual action.  Vore simply takes it to its logical conclusion.
