ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vorarephilia

Okay kiddo, I will try to explain this to you as simply as possible.

So, there are some people who have a very unique and specific kind of sexual interest. This interest is called vorarephilia (pronounced "vo-rah-reh-fee-lee-a").

Now, what does this mean? Well, it means that these people are turned on or sexually aroused by the idea of being swallowed whole or swallowing someone else whole.

But wait, what does "swallowed whole" mean? It means that they like thinking about the idea of a giant monster or creature swallowing them or someone else like a piece of food. It might sound kind of strange or scary to you, but for these people, it is something that they find exciting or pleasurable.

It's important to remember that everyone has their own interests and preferences, and just because somebody likes something that you don't, it doesn't make them bad or wrong. It's important to respect and accept people for who they are.

Does that help explain it, kiddo?
