Thats fine, wouldn’t say I’m an expert on that particular topic 😄
Comment on Hmm
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 hours agoI hate that I feel the need to mention this, but…
“Vore” doesn’t necessarily imply ‘torn to shreds’; it could be as simple as being swallowed whole. It comes in ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ varieties, with the former being non-destructive, and the latter being… well, what you thought.

Is being gently swallowed whole but then digested called medium vore? 🤔

I’m not super familiar with the exact specifics, but my loose understanding is that if it’s ‘soft’, the subject survives relatively unharmed. If they die in the process, it’s ‘hard’, whether that’s due to being chewed, asphyxiation, or dissolved (or anything else). (There’s a subcategory called ‘disposal’ which is… exactly what you think it is, following that digestion.)

But why? What leads to arousal from being dissolved and shat out?

Can’t speak from personal experience but from what I’ve heard, it’s more about the concept / theme / emotions than the actual act itself. People (at least, the vast majority) who are into it don’t actually want to experience it in real life; just like with many other more mundane fetishes, it’s more about the fantasy and how it makes you feel to imagine yourself in that situation, and more nebulous concepts like the idea of becoming a physical part of another creature, or the imagined feeling of closeness, constriction, warmth, safety or comfort from being inside something’s stomach. Obviously not things you’d experience if it actually happened to you, but that’s not the point.
