Acrotomophilia
Acrotomophilia is a paraphilia characterized by a strong sexual interest in or attraction to individuals with amputations (amputees).[1] Derived from Greek terms for "cut off" and "love," it is distinct from apotemnophilia, which is the desire to become an amputee. This attraction is often focused on the missing limb, Wikipedia notes.
Key aspects of acrotomophilia:
- Sexual Focus: The primary attraction is to the missing limb or the status of being an amputee.
- Terminology: It falls under the umbrella of attraction to disability.
- Distinction: It is often contrasted with apotemnophilia, which is the desire to be an amputee.
