I think this is an interesting question, tbh. And again, to clarify, I would, if I had my druthers, have this NOT be a fantasy but something I still hope (perhaps pointlessly) to experience at some point. Without question there are both psychological and tactile components to the experience that speak to me. I have thoughts on how it would actually feel to be physically consumed by a snake, and I am intrigued to find how far from the truth they might be. My suspicion is that it will have a significant degree of pain involved, and more than most folks probably expect. The teeth concern me, and even if I am not trying to escape, I figure I am gonna get punctured, just as in swallowing something the size of a man, the teeth have to go somewhere. But I also see plenty of videos of snake owners getting bitten, and they certainly don't seem to be in agony. So I suspect it to be tolerable, and hopefully offset by the thrill of actually being eaten and feeling my body sliding into that wet tube and being massaged by the muscles.

But I also think there is something thrilling about stepping down from being the species that thinks we are all that and a bag of chips and meeting an animal that doesn't care about my 401K, my iPhone, or my future hopes and dreams. It will see me as a meal and nothing more than that. It has no morals or sense of right and wrong. I am a body to be digested and used as fuel. There is something very satisfying in that for me. Plus, we all gotta go, and if I can select a way that benefits another magnificant living thing, all the better.
