All you need to know about vore and giantess vore

Vore is the shortened simplified version of the word vorarephilia, derived from the Latin word Vorare which means 'to swallow' and the Greek word 'philia' which means sexual love. This specific fetish centres on the fantasy of being swallowed whole, and as such, vore is something often expressed in art, comics and cartoons. A giant, a tentacled sea creature or a huge King Kong or Godzilla kind of monster can be part of the fantasy, or maybe a giant like the adult version of Jack in the Beanstalk. The fetish centres on being devoured, and there are many ways the imagination can expand on that.

An introduction to macrophilia

The literal translation of macrophilia is ‘a lover of large’ and refers to the fetish of wanting to be dominated by a giant. It is most commonly a fantasy that men have and this fetish is heavily fantasy based as there aren’t any real giants in the world. Some men enjoy trampling and queening, giving a feeling of being dominated by a woman much bigger than they are. Others enjoy watching videos of giants looming over buildings, crushing things and picking up people between their huge fingers. Lovers of large are pretty rare but it is a growing section of the porn film industry, there are more and more of them to find out there.

Bite your lip...

Everyone has different erogenous zones, but the lips are pretty much universal. They're intimate, they're sensitive, and they're the site of many of our greatest romantic and erotic pleasures. The lips are not talked about as much or as often as legs, butts or tits, but it's well worth making an effort not to ignore them entirely. Some people say that the reason people are so attracted to lips is that they look a little like labia - and that lipstick is so popular precisely because it enhances that effect. Whether this is true or not, there's no denying that many people are attracted to partners who play up this facial feature.

Kinky sex for kinky people

There are plenty of ways to describe the act of sex, but 'fucking' is our favourite. There's just something hot, erotic and sexy about it; it conjures images of late nights and moody lights and basking in a deliciously decadent afterglow. We're fans of getting to the point without beating around the bush, and 'fuck' encapsulates that perfectly. There's a common myth that the word Fuck originated as an acronym, and stands for 'Fornication Under Consent of the King'. This is almost certainly bullshit. As Melissa Mohr says in her excellent book Holy Shit: A Brief History of Swearing, the word 'fuck' is of Germanic origin, related to Dutch, German and Swedish words for 'to strike' and 'to move back and forth'. There's certainly something Germanic about the inherently direct and straightforward nature of the word, but the act of fucking is absolutely universal.
