Hmm… that’s a tough one anon. I mean. I suppose you’d have to judge yourself if they seem like someone might be okay with it or not. It might seem a little odd for some people, but I often talk more about g/t first before I even bring up vore. As a way to test the waters a bit, you know?
I’ve dealt with telling my best friend about it (my niisan), as well as a friend I met at college ( @5ftgarden ) and funny enough, both people were very similar in answer: if it makes you happy and it’s not hurting anyone or you, then why should I try and stop you from enjoying it? Usually I’d go off of if people care a lot about you and they don’t mind that you have differing opinions and different interests, they might be pretty accepting of it. If they ask why you like it, you can try to explain that hey! It’s just a fantasy interest I enjoy and take great love in, and honest if they ask that you not talk about it then I wouldn’t, and if they ask you to talk about it more, then gladly go on! I try myself to keep it from conversation because, well, I’m weird about it and anxiety issues, but most people who learned I enjoy this stuff don’t particularly mind (and honestly they tease me more about it and joke around about vore more than I thought they ever would) and just like me as a person so they don’t mind if maybe I have some strange interests. If people accept you even for the “weird” things you enjoy, they’re good people.
Tldr; Testing waters and trying it out with people is probably the best option to bringing this stuff up with others! You don’t have to, but I know that feeling. You want to be able to talk about it with people you’re close with and all that stuff. It’s all about testing with small steps (or sometimes bringing it up full force and seeing if they are okay with it or not). Not sure if this helps any anon, but cheers!
From personal experiences, I’ve had some friends find out about the whole vore thing whom I knew in real life, or had previously known thru skype. They pretty much reacted with “that’s cool, no big deal, everyone has stuff like that really.” So I’ve come to just feel for the most part, people don’t really mind it, at least in terms of close friends. Sure, some might tease me about it but I know it’s not malicious, I often laugh along with them. And its not? Really even that mean of jokes. Everyone just calls me voretrash xD. But that’s just how some of my friends are, we kind of tease each other, but none of us take it to a point where its harmful.
As for really talking about vore and my other kinks with them, I don’t know if I PERSONALLY, would go that far. It really depends on the person. Like in levels of trust and how well you both know each other. I’m pretty lucky that my boyfriend knows about vore, and doesn’t have a problem with it. (Not sure how into it he is now tho, he hasn’t really talked about it or brought it up recently)
I would def recommend the whole “testing the waters” deal if one would want to talk to someone who’s opinions on vore aren’t really clear. As its probably well known, there are some people that just don’t care for vore at all, and people even as going as far to be malicious about it. There’s people like that in any situation, even if what it is really isn’t hurting anyone. But for the most part, if the people you consider your friends care about you, they aren’t going to be like that. Still, some people may just be uncomfortable with the subject. Not in a malicious way of course, everyone has their preferences and some things in vore may be upsetting to them, so its only fair to respect their boundaries.
But if they don’t mind you talking about it? Then feel free! You never known, sometimes you learn things about people you would never expect! ( I speak from experience, a few people I’ve just known even before this blog happened to legit share some of the kinks I sorta have come to have, we must be able to sense it or something xD)
Good addition!!!
