Apotemnophilia Information

Apotemnophiliacan be defined as the desire for amputation of a healthy limb, and may be accompanied by behaviour of pretending to be an amputee and sometimes, but not necessarily, by sexual arousal. Apotemnophilia is the medical term for an individual with the sexual fetish or paraphilia of being an amputee. The existence of apotemnophiles cannot be denied. Whilst they are far rarer than the acrotomophile (devotee). A small number of amputees in society are realised apotemnophiles.

An individual with true apotemnophilia may be chronically unsatisfied with their sexual relationships, or even completely sexually dysfunctional, until their desire for amputation is realized.
