Although it would be easy to suspect, most vorarephiles are not overly interested in sadomasochism, [4] instead getting their pleasure from other aspects, such as the total annihilation of their essence. This does not necessarily indicate suicidal tendencies but is more often linked to fantasies as being able to forget about everything that bothers you, as nothing matters to someone who disappears from the surface of the earth completely. Other people may however just enjoy the extreme proximity to their partner. Personal motivations vary a lot and can not be assumed for any individual.

A somewhat rare form of vore that stands on its own is soul vore, in which the prey's body is not necessarily devoured but instead the soul. However, it is possible that guys may use “unbirth” differently or have different perspectives on it compared to girls. Some possible ways guys may use “unbirth” include:

On the other hand, there is the less commonly seen hard vore, which consists of the victim being chewed and torn apart by the consumer, followed by a more gruesome depiction of digestion. [7] This concept is often utilized in science fiction or fantasy stories and is not a realistic or possible scenario in real life. The specific origin of “unbirth” is unknown, but it has been in use since at least 2003. Guy 2: Dude, that’s amazing! You get to unbirth yourself into different games all day. Living the dream!

I love getting lost in those kinds of stories and unbirthing myself into different worlds.

This imaginative process is limited to forms of art and cybersex since the actual process cannot be done in real life. It can also refer to the idea of reversing the process of childbirth, in which a baby would be returned to the mother’s womb instead of being born. It’s important to note that “unbirth” is a highly specific and niche term that is not commonly used or understood outside of certain internet communities. What Does Unbirth Mean From a Girl? Even though unbirthing art is not uncommon and may be found in the work of Mamabliss, Duo Radon, MrPerson and others, no single graphic artist stands out in this particular field. Within the furry writer community, some noted authors of such stories are Dream Weevil, Animakitty, Grolbek, JessKATT, Smokescale and Rochndil. Another aspect of unbirth attractive to some is the age-regression scenario which may take place inside an unbirther's womb. Returned to the womb, an unbirthed creature grows younger; the unbirther may choose to rebirth their guest at any point or simply regress the unbirthed past the point of conception, effectively erasing their existence. There are many variations on this theme, some overlapping with the oviposition philia.
