I think one reason I like vore so much is because of how beautiful the human body is. We’re so intricately designed inside and out, and while the outside gets a lot of recognition, people forget how spectacular the inside is as well. The roof of our mouth is so sensitive and ticklish, with complicated patterns weaving and interlocking as if carved by the hand of an expert artist. Our teeth are strong and crushing sure, but they’re also so very gentle. We can hold a single grain of salt between them without crushing it, and feel temperature in a way not even our fingers quite match. Tastebuds are fascinating tools used to distinguish between foods that might otherwise look exactly the same. These little sensors can detect the presence of the tiniest amount of minerals and herbs, and tell exactly what they are. The tongue itself is so very strong and powerful, while also being incredibly dexterous. Then there’s our throat. A wonderfully constructed piece of our body that specializes in funneling food down to its designated location. It keeps solids separate from the air we breath, and is perfectly constructed for its job. Our stomach is an amazing piece of equipment. It produces a highly caustic chemical that could easily eat away at our body, but it protects us from it, using it as a tool we could not survive without. Our stomach can expand to hold about a quart of food and turn all of that into vital nutrients we need to survive. Heck, the gastrointestinal tract even helps to produce about 50% of the dopamine in our bodies, which is fascinating to me
And when you take all of that and imagine what it would be like to observe it firsthand well, I can’t be the only one who thinks that would be amazing. The inside of your body is just as brilliant and beautiful as the outside, and vore allows me explore and express this feeling of admiration for our design as humans
This post reminded me of one of my most favorite moments from the movie Innerspace.
“You know what’s weird? You are seeing parts of my body that I will never get to see. The gastric mucousa… intestinal villi… pulmonary alvioli… faraway places, with strange sounding names…”
Even the very name of the movie, Innerspace, reflects the nature of the body. There’s a whole universe inside you, an “inner-space”, where daily processes happen in beautiful, alien landscapes without you even knowing. Of course sharing that with someone would make two people bond closer. I dunno, it just makes my little endo heart happy.
Oh my goodness I completely forgot about that scene, and you’re so right it perfectly encapsulates everything I was trying to say and more. Just, ugh that quote alone coupled with the swelling music just gets me every time, because it really romanticizes the human body in a way most people never even think about
