There are at least two active participants in most kinbaku porn, one controlling the beautifully tied ropes and the other lovingly submitting to the rope-bearer’s will. Those tied up are often suspended above the ground and left to hang, and the act is often carried out in front of crowds of onlookers. For a non-pornographic example, check out 2016’s The Handmaiden. Vore became a topic of pop culture debate in 2017 when it was theorized that a popular Disney-Pixar Tumblr called Constable+Frozen had been using the fetish in sneaky ways. At its core, vore is about sexualizing consumption, but it doesn’t have to involve gore or pain.
