I've often wondered… what is the prevalence of vore in the general public? How many of us are there, out of the 7.8 billion humans?
Let's think about it.
(I apologize in advance if this isn't very well organized, but bear with me.)
My interest was piqued when I saw Eka's post saying the site was getting over 1 million unique visitors a month for a few months in a row. Link to that: https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2743840#p2743840
According to semrush, Eka's has a very low bounce rate too https://www.semrush.com/analytics/traffic/overview/aryion.com
This means that there's not a lot of people visiting who aren't there to stick around and jack off. However, even some people who aren't vorarephiles and are just curious will probably find themselves clicking on at least one link. So we could imagine that maybe 60% of those monthly visitors are there because it turns them on.
However, not all of these people are necessarily strictly vorarephiles; you could say there's a difference between the furry types and the macro/micro types, etc. But let's be nice and say only 10% of those people who are there to jack off aren't really vorarephiles, which should subtract from our number a bit. Maybe 54% or so.
However, considering not every vorarephile who uses the site gets to visit every month (maybe they use other sites, or they're impotent, or they're nofappstronauts, or they've saved enough already), there's probably a solid 20% of those monthly users that would still count as regular users of the site and don't show up in those numbers (they count as vore users, but they're sporadic). This will add 11% to our figure, so let's conclude that 65% of the monthly visitors number is the most true number for how many vorarephiles are active on Eka's.
That's 715,000 unique people.
To take this even further, how many people are vorarephiles who are living, breathing humans and are online, and yet don't know about Eka's, don't like Eka's, have moved to other sites, and all the like? This is another case of "it's really hard to say", but a realistic ballpark for this would probably be that something like 80% of active vorarephiles online are regular on Eka's. (100/80) * 715k is 893,750 vorarephiles online who know they're into vore.
We're getting closer to a final figure. However, before I make a generalization about all of humanity, we have to consider that among those who have internet access and who are in the demographic likely to use the internet to jack off to their interests, some of them simply may not know they're into vore or they may suppress it. I think we all understand that not knowing what you're into is fairly uncommon, as we all came across vore materials in early life and knew they were sexy. (Monsters eating characters in stories, little red riding hood, MIB, we've all been through this a million times.) But some people may simply be unable to make the right connection. That's probably 5 or 10% of the total number of internet vore users. I'll say it's 10% which leads us to (100/90) * 893750 = 993k.
The last thing I will factor in before looking at humanity is the people who for other unpredictable reasons aren't into porn, who may be seriously religious, live in a situation where participating in or looking at vore online could lead to trouble, etc. Again, this is really hard to say. Numbers could vary a lot on this one, but for the sake of continuing, I'll say that this accounts for 15% of online vorarephiles. New number would be (100/85) * 993k = roughly 1.175 million.
Finally, to generalize to all of humanity. The number I have calculated thus far is supposed to be an estimate of how many people out of the population of humanity that is reasonably expected to be active on the internet are into vore. So, to get a figure for all of humanity, I will multiply this number to account for those who aren't necessarily active on the internet, because hey, they get boners when thinking about being eaten too.
To make a generalization, the percentage of the global population that count as internet users, calculating from UN data, is 58.7%. https://internetworldstats.com/stats.htm
Multiplying our count so far to account for this, we get 2 million.
And finally, what percent of internet users are vorarephiles (or will be then they grow up) but are too young to know it, or are too old to bother using the internet for porn? Probably 10% or so.
Thus, our final figure of living vorarephiles on Earth in 2020 is:
2,200,000
which is 0.03% of the world's population, or roughly 1 in 3545 (or 28 in 100,000).
Of course, this is a ballpark estimate, and take it with a grain of salt. It could easily be half of this or ten times this in reality, depending on a lot of factors, most of which (hopefully) were estimated here. But hey, chances are if you know 3545 people, another one of them is a vorarephile too.
