    Kinda makes me wonder, why is vore fetish a thing? Why did natural selection allow it to be passed down? Wouldn’t a fetish that makes you fantasize about getting eaten be a disadvantage in the natural world? Thinking about it you could apply this to lots of different fetishes, like anything that has to do with masochism

    Edit: I got the answers I needed

      Having a fetish for something doesn’t mean you want it to happen for real. People with a rape kink don’t want to be raped for real, for example. Even people who practice BDSM don’t want to be brutalized, what is or isn’t OK and how to make the other person immediately stop if you don’t like it is laid out beforehand. It’s all role playing.

      Fetishes are irrational by definition. They’re not passed down - they come about from childhood hang-ups (no-one wants to be eaten by a bear because their father or grandfather wanted to be eaten by a bear).

        OK so it’s an error I made in the premise. Understood, have a good day
