Acrotomophilia Disorders

Acrotomophilia - Symptom, Cause and Treatment

A paraphilia of the stigmatic/eligibilic type in which sexuo erotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to, and contingent on a partner who is an amputee.

Acrotomophilia was first recognised in clinics as rare phenomenon in the western world in the early 1990s.

Someone who has acrotomophilia (in the clinical sense) is sexually attracted to persons with an amputation, and may be unattracted to people without amputations (although some can manage by fantasizing that their partner does have an amputation). That's being sexually aroused by an amputee, either in thoughts or actual deeds. Someone who has this fetish may even ask their partner to wrap one of their limbs in a bandage to fulfill their fantasy.

In its most extreme forms, a person my be unable to become aroused or achieve orgasm with anyone who does not have an amputation.
