Acrotomophilia, also known as “amputee fetish,” is a sexual interest or attraction to people who are amputees. It is considered a paraphilia, which is a term used to describe sexual interests that are outside of the mainstream or that may be considered abnormal by some people. People with acrotomophilia may be attracted to amputees because of the physical differences that are present as a result of amputation, or they may be attracted to the perceived vulnerability or perceived strength of the amputee. It is important to note that acrotomophilia, like all sexual interests, is not inherently harmful or wrong, but it is important for people to respect the boundaries and consent of their partners. If you have questions about your own sexual interests or if you are concerned about someone else’s behavior, it is important to speak with a mental health professional or other trusted individual for support and guidance.
