You're right - disabled, admirer, or not, if you are accepted and loved and happy, it doesn't matter if you met your loved one because of a disability because you love that person for who they are. jama V,

Thank you for your thoughtful response. You’re right - disabled, admirer, or not, if you are accepted and loved and happy, it doesn’t matter if you met your loved one because of a disability because you love that person for who they are.

I most certainly do not find disabled people disgusting in any regard. But at the same time I am not disabled and therefore do not understand fully what life is like for disabled people. I am imagine dating must be difficult. Hell, dating is difficult for most everyone. From the materials I read on devotees and amputee relationships, the camp seems fairly split into two groups. The first being people like you who like being appreciated and understood as you are.The second group I discovered, who I suppose I agree more with, say that it should not matter if they are missing a limb. They want the person they are with to be attracted to them, as a person, not the fact that they are handicapped. But at the end of the day, I guess it doesn't really matter if you fall into group 1 or group 2. If you are accepted and loved and happy, the fine print remains just that.

They just have a unique interest - like you again - I would say your "endless fascination of deviant subcultures" is a unique interest...wouldn't you? jama PS: I know lots of devotees (I prefer to call them admirers) and they are normal guys (most are intelligent and successful) who are probably a lot like you, including Larry Green, whom I also know personally.

As a female amputee who has been rejected by some men because I was different, I was pleased when I found out there were men out there who were attracted to amputees. Their attraction is not the entire focus of any relationship with the lady - it is an initial attraction (like some men's attraction to blonde hair or large breasts). If there isn't more between the two people to sustain the relationship, the presence of a stump or a disability (or blonde hair or large breasts) isn't going to make it work. Try to be a little more open to understanding what you find in your research. jama bennett Did what you read make you feel like a sicko f**k because you think amputees or disabled people are disgusting therefore any attraction to them is sick?

Care to share what about it does it for you? I'm curious. In my reading up on devotees and people who are sexually turned on by amputees, I discovered an interesting documented fact. As weird an perverse as this interesyt/fetish/whatever you want to call it may seem, the roots of it in most individuals who exhibit this behavior are completely innocent. According to a several different sources I found online, often the obsession/sexual interest in amputees comes from a child growing up and having some exposure to an amputee in a positive relationship role. For instance, a male devotee may have been friends with a female amputee at school or had a female cousin or neighbor they were close with who was an amputee. Or even simply had an amputee classmate who they couldn't look away from (but not in a negative way). I just found that interesting and wanted to share it. Interesting Ziava.

(Ever heard of a tense-shift, Larry?) Overall, though, I have to agree that this sort of societal underbelly is fascinating. I've always been drawn to the bizarre, and nowadays, more and more things are becoming blase that used to be fringe. Thank you for sharing this!
