  • I don't know where or when my attraction to amputees began, but I do know that what I'm mostly attracted to is the strength of character it takes to overcome adversity.

  • If it makes you feel any better, you're pretty gross and not sexy at all.

  • @livinglegend1187

    Lol thanks? :p

  • I'm a medical assistant and I'm interested in working with people going through any rehabilitation. I don't see any videos helping amputees with things they might not k now. Your videos are very informative and you could offer assistance to other amputees. As for the "devotee community" disrespectful ones should be ignored.

  • im actually the kind of person that likes to move (like wlaking or whatever) in style sometimes while doing tasks (chores for example). but when i saw how amputees move, i got pulled into how they move as well. like when i saw a person using their feet for everything i found it pretty amazing and then got into thinking how their do their tasks. i don't find it sexy or whatever because there is no point in it. like how can a armless person eating cereal with their feet be considered sexy? really?

  • @Gameboykd

    Lmao, yeah, I totally understand what you mean, but I guess it's the attraction to the stump itself? I imagine it goes like this: If you're attracted to the stump, its just like being attracted to a hot girl. Doesn't matter what the girl is doing, she's still hot, and you still want to see as much of her as you can. Any one care to tell me if I'm right?

  • @MyAmputationDiary no im not attracted to the stump. since i have aspergers syndrome it can be sometimes hard to keep eye contact for me sometimes. like ill end up staring at the stump or missing limb or whatever but im not fidning it sexy (seriously). sometimes i manage to stare at something else while still speaking to that person but i just dont want to stare at the stump. i sometimes find it rude for that person if i do stare (not on purpose but its like a bother) something like that.

  • @Gameboykd

    Oh, I was talking about devotees and their interest. Not yours as it isn't sexual.

  • @MyAmputationDiary oh my bad.

  • Hmmmm, I'm not exactly a devotee, I'm in love with my girlfriend because of who she is, not because she's missing limbs, but I would imagine it's just like any other sexual fetish, however that does not give them an excuse to be so damn vulgar.

  • LOL how fuckin creepy are you awesome freakin awesome.they are fucked in the head.

  • Comment 2:

    People who run the gamut from Ultra-Sleazy to Decent. You're a superstar now, you've placed yourself in the public eye & you have an audience. As with any fan base, some of us would make wonderful friends, but not all of us.

  • @autobach

    I agree with you completely. Well, with the exception of the superstar thing lol.

    Thanks for the comment :)

  • Comment 1:

    There is nothing to "get" about the attraction to amputee's. Ask someone who is gay why they are gay. Ask yourself why you were attracted to your husband. Mostly it's a case by case circumstance. I feel that all people regardless of their sexual orientation or preference are just that, people.

  • Concerning the perceived vulnerability of a disabled woman, I believe that such a motivation for interaction with disabled women is a fault at best. Rather, I find that the strength and perseverance such a woman possesses to be highly desirable. Regardless, as in any relationship, physical attraction is secondary to a connection on a mental and emotional level. In short--a relationship based solely on physical attraction is doomed to fail.

  • Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I completely agree that relationships based on physical attraction alone are bound to fail. Thank you for being so candid about your own attraction, and the reason behind it.

  • While your observations concerning male attraction to certain female characteristics concerning fertility are correct on a subconscious level are undoubtedly correct, and proven to a great degree, the conscious attraction has not really been addressed. I find women who are different to be more attractive, as this is another characteristic of males as evidenced by the proclivity of men to "cheat" with women who may possibly provide a new and different experience, not merely on a sexual plane.

  • I hope I gave you some insight (things I said are what I feel so it doesn't actually fit all devotees) and helped you better understand the "community" in which I actually have almost nothing to do with lol. Except for being a devotee... wait okey I'm jibbering. Hope you read this... Wish you all the best! Greetings from Slovenia

  • You did! Thanks again :)

  • that'd be crazy you dont do it to a non - disabled woman you don't do it to a disabled girl either. But I would have a big wish to meet her better and if we had a "match" in our characteristics she would just have a looooot more chances than a non - disabled woman. Not in terms of sex but partnership and liking. I still have no idea if I will meet my disabled princess or not but I sure won't bug any for pictures over the internet or even stalk them in real life that's for sure.

  • Men who deem women less worthy because of a disability can shove something up their ass. I would also let's say date a blind girl and enjoy in helping her in some things that she needed (not the kind of enjoy that I would help her clean the kitchen and then go jerk off to it no) help with. But I would still be fine with her getting as much independency as she could. In fact i'd be glad she did. Also I'm out partying and I see a girl in a wheelchair... I won't go blazin there asking her for sex

  • Okeey so. Hello. I'm a 20 year old devotee. I have no idea how this thing had started like you said some had remembered i don't ;) I don't think devotees are all about amputees as I for myself can tell you that I would also have no problem of dating a paraplegic girl for instance. One of the reasons is that they have gone through something tough in their life yes true, but for me it is also making them even more feminine (I hope it's the correct term) but definetly not submissive or less worthy

  • its amazing and quite disappointing at how little most of these devs seem to get you. Even after that very fair and subjective video, you've still got idiots trying to convince you its ok. For the first time, you (an amputee) seems genuinely curious and pretty open-minded about the whole thing, and you actually put forward some really thought provoking points, intellegent ones at that! From one curious researcher to another, I'd really like to discuss this phenomenon with you further. Email?

  • Acrotomophilia: refers to sexual interest in amputees.

    There are probably a dozen reasons why these guys send inappropriate messages. Either way just keep strong. There are a ton of creepy, socially messed up people and sadly they think its ok to message people they way they do. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and I commend you for going public on here. You must have a great husband. ;)

  • Thank you, and I do. He's truly amazing, and the best thing to ever happen me :)

  • Why rant about men mailing you offensive shit, just ignore it and thats it, and youre view on the mOst fittest to have a child? thats plain dumb.

    relationships never work out like that. usually whay you like or seek for is not imposed by society or by nature, you have to thank the complex brain for that.

  • I'm not ranting for the sake of it, Im trying to hit a topic that I feel all amputees should be aware of. As far as the attraction, I know that relationships dont work out like that, but when trying to understand this subject, the answer isnt immediately clear, so I tried to take it back to the basics. Attraction to others happens for all types of reasons, and back in the day, reproduction / survival of the species was the main focus. Its still drilled into us whether we act on it or not.

  • And by the way, given your comment, its obvious that you arent taking into consideration how women, let alone amputees are constantly hounded by pigs. How would you feel it if you were constantly getting unwanted attention from morons that looked at you like a piece a meat?

  • i dont take it into consideration Cause, jerks are everywhere, you dont really win anything by making awareness of it: its a given fact anyone that has lived at least a bit knows that

    ( not implying anything). point is why complain about this when you know douchebags are in any social circle, and not to mention the internet where it increases exponentialy.

  • For your information, a ton of women I've spoken to didnt know about the dev community until they made aware of it by a douchebag, and many of them having gone through amputation and not reaching a place where theyre comfortable with themselves yet have felt like a freak, or ashamed of themselves because of the "bad" dev behavior. Its different than just the average guy being a pig. Again, I'm trying to make them aware that the community exists, and the follow up to this vid explains it more.

  • And I didnt think my "complaining" was such a huge part of the vid, but even then, it made a point. I'm not the kinda girl that wants that kind of attention, and its been cut down since then. Whats the point of complaining when douchebags still exist? Because voicing an opinion of a group can make a difference. Seriously though, you should check the other dev video. Maybe it'll quit your bitching about my "complaining" :)

  • FUCK! another typo. whatever floats your boat :D

    there!

  • Hahaha

  • lawlz, sorry

  • You are very smart,

    I don't think I've ever heard of anyone approaching the subject of devotees in this way.

    I just wanted to say that I can't really explain why I feel the way I do about amputees.

    Ever since I saw someone with an amputation I was (for lack of a better word) interested in them.

    But I would agree most devs are weird sick scumbags.

    I like to consider myself a nice guy who happens to be attracted to amputations.

    Weird yes,

    but the attraction is absolutely there,

    I can't explain it

  • I think nature made devotees because nature makes amputees. I think probably any conceivable physical characteristic can have a devotee. Such specific attraction is not the whole of love, but it can play a legitimate part in attraction. Who hasn't found some unique little characteristic inordinately irresistible? I think it's wonderful. Everybody has one, everybody wants/needs one! No? It may be boring to have a partner who is nuts about some unique aspect of you. But, it's not damning, surely.

  • lol, in response to the rude comment just removed: I'll be the first to admit, I have trouble talking in front of a camera, hence why my vids are usually choppy. I'm a private person, and for me to talk about something so personal is a struggle, but I'm trying to do something that will help others. This particular vid, is still a subject that amps should be educated about.

  • And in response to education, while I might be lacking in the speech department, I'm pretty sure I can outwit that asshole. My intelligence is actually the only thing I'm confident about.

  • o.O

    wow

  • Some men like Blond Hair or Feet!

    Some, like, having the shit kicked out of em, its just a fetish...

    Get over it!

  • Ha, you so dont get it...

  • Thats like saying I dont understand anyone who eats liquorish, its the most vile thing that I have ever tasted and it stinks. How can they do it? Why do they do it?

    Its cos they like the taste and I dont, cos we are different, and hard as it is to do, I accept it for what it is.

    So what I understand it as is, They find women with missing limbs attractive Not very common Im sure but hey thats what it is. Do you think there is more to it than that?

    I get it!!!

  • Actually, theres more to it. I'll be posting a vid update to the subject with my findings.

  • im intersted to see your findings.

    I have looked over some your other videos and I will say that you are doing a brave, interesting thing.

    I can not imagine being in your place, you seem to take it very well.

    I think your pretty face can attract some people who you would rather not speak with. and maybe just like the devotees, you are now finding an interest as to whats attractive about amputations.

    But i think you will have to accept some people just like odd stuff.

    Good luck!

  • Thanks, and your right, SOME people just like odd stuff...Like furries...That weirds me out...lol

  • OMFG Furries!

    never knew about that. Now thats cool!!

    LMAO

  • lol I went to a Blue Jackets game last night and thanks to furries, I couldnt stop thinking about how weird it would be to see their stinger mascot getting freaky...*sigh* :p

  • As always, thanks for telling it like it is.

    So glad these kinds of things don't discourage you from such a great project.

    You Rock!

    Proudly, Gen's Mom

  • Genessa, you are so right. People should have a lot more respect for someone. Telling someone you are attractive is one thing, but acting like a stalker is just stupid.

    Good going for standing your ground and not withdrawing from the world!

  • I had to laugh at your logic.  Thunder sounded great though.

  • My logic? Which part?

  • I am sorry that you are getting perverts emailing you. I am fascinated by different bizarre fetishes and I try to figure out why people are attracted to what they are attracted to.

    But I think main reason is Dominance and they can physically hold the woman down easier. But fetishes stem from what the first sexual images are we see when we are starting puberty. But the amputee fetish IMO is sexist and cruel. One of the most extreme. You shouldn't let it discourage you, we are all equal.

  • I'll be posting another vid about my findings on the subject from all the info provided by devotee emails. Check back later :)

  • Ok I will! :)

  • Don't worry about those Stupid perverts.

    Be strong Stay focused Those people obviously have no concern for you or what you you are trying too express Don't let them Distract you from your true Intent

  • Thanks!!!

  • soz but your biologism doesnt work in a hundred different ways, if in nature someone was missing a limb it would mean he has survived despite it which indicates other skills, social skills, mental strength status within the group aso, and cultural evolution changed everything completely in a very short times, think of "anorexia" becoming fashionable in societies where food is not an issue, or african tribes who get into all sorts of quite unhealthy body adjustments :)

  • id guess for those for whom its not about vulnerability and their own insecurity it might be about reflection and self awareness, and an unusual condition pushes you in uncharted territory which shapes character; independence, reason and sensibility

    and for lurkers - that just comes with the territory, its a completely public outlet with a very low contact treshold, wouldnt overestimate it, but the way you address it is interesting, really concise

  • As many people have pointed out errors in this theory such as the attraction to red hair and so on, I think your anorexia reference is completely off base....

  • huh? anorexia (in quotes) as a hyperbola for the thinness cult, in this biologism it would be an appearence indicating a health problem yet its considered attractive, how is this completely off base?

  • Being thin and fit, or even slightly too thin is different from true anorexia. Being specific, when the fat starts disappearing from the body from anorexia and bones start becoming more feature-like, its usually turn off as the girls start to also look more sickly and weak from lack of... well everything.

  • The truth of the matter is that no one has any answers for the attraction, especially the psychological and psychiactric community! All the phallic theories of attraction are quickly voided because many devotees find attractive HD and HP amputees.

  • Harassment is responsible for driving many amputees off of youtube. Removing all of their videos is understandably and unfortunately the usual response to this type of harassment. Unfortunately, as a result, many amputees cannot connect with other people with similar problems over normal social networks. Some guys devotee or not just do not have a clue. More public callouts like this are necessary to drive home the point that this is not OK eventually some of the worst offenders may go away.

  • Being engaged with an amputee woman I'd consider my wife as perfect. Being new to this topic of people finding amputees attractive I think Your argumentation is pretty understandable. You might get a more diverse picture. Unfortunately "seekers" aproach You in an unappropriate way. "Finders" do not appoach You cause they've already found and there is no reason for bad behaviour at all. I think it's pretty cool what You are doing here. And this deserves all the respect it requires. All the best!

  • Thanks! Congrats on the engagement!

  • I got a warning about them from an amputee friend. He set me all kinds of info. Devotees and Wannabes! What is up with that! These people need to seek help! There is something wrong in their head. I can see falling in love with someone that is an amputee but that is not what they are doing! I could see an amputee seeking an amputee but these people are messed up! Wannabes are even crazier! They pretend to be and some even try it them self's! They all just have eggs for brains.

  • After getting so many emails from them, I'm starting to see a different side of it. Yes, there are those who don't know how to control themselves as with all men...and women too, but there are others that are simply attracted with no twisted means behind it...I'll be posting another video soon about all of the replies. Tell me if you still have the same opinion afterwards :)

  • we men are creepy, when we see women we instantly fantasize it cant be helped something about evolutionary drive to procreate now sadly some are unable to control these urges and don't know when its appropriate to act on such urges. Now that said please don't let these fucktards discourage you from doing what you wanna do on youtube, remember that for ewry perv there are 100's of us who are interested in your opinions.

  • Hmmm, I posted a reply to this earlier but it isnt showing...anyhow, I said thank you, for the comment and for all of the comments you've posted since I started this thing. Seeing something from you always makes my day :)

  • There will always be ignorant people with their idiotic comments on the Internet (or the real life).

    Never mind them. What you are doing is noble. I applaud you. You rock girl !!

  • I try, but I couldn't do it without all the support from everyone out here. Thanks!

  • Agreed, quite well said.

  • Thanks guys!

  • Well said.

    Robert

  • Thanks!
