Vorarephilia

 
Wikipedia: Vorarephilia
 

Vorarephilia (often misspelled voreaphilia or voraphilia, or shortened to vore[1]), is a sexual fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten, eating another, or watching this process.[2][3] The fantasy may include digestion.[3]

The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and Ancient Greek φιλία (philia, 'love'), while phagophilia comes from φάγειν (phagein, to 'chew' or 'gnaw').
