I'm a guy in wheelchair and I completely agree with everything you said. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the whole devotee thing. It's flattering in a way but a person should love us for who we are. It's nice to have some people attracted to something I'm ashamed of but in the end, people need to love us for who we truly are. Sooo, "hey! eyes up here" hehehe. If a girl "really" loves me for who I am and happens to be turned on to my different body, well, heck why not :)
I like your bird. He/she sounds very interesting. Also, I agree with your thoughts on “devoteeism”. Though it is nice that some people really do find us attractive with our “differences” included. In most cases it shows that they find us fascinating, just like, as you said, big boobs, blue eyes, etc.
The greater majority of "devotees" are quite respectful. Its the noisy, nasty guys and gals that are rude and "horn-dogs".
never heard of a devotee before... and honestly I dont know how i found this video. Either way, interesting point of view and you seem like a very positive spirit. Good luck in life.
your bird gets really pissed when you talk about these people who sends those stupid messages, me personaly I love your heart because when you talk it comes from your heart.I like youe videos and hope to here more about things happening in your life.tell the guy you are seeing he is one lucky guy to know you and I know he could sit and listen to you talk for hours because I can and you are beautiful also
ahh, you see, I have the same problem with the cyber sex thing.....gross, anyway, you are a beautiful woman and you need to let nothing get you down (:
I just think it's very cool of you to accept comments at all, given your misgivings. I have NOT read the other comments, so forgive me if I sound redundant. All I'd like to say is that even though I do find amputee women fascinating, in your case it simply adds flavor and makes you exotic. You are a beautiful, well-adjusted, and confident woman and your guy is very lucky. I hope you don't go through life feeling pressured to explain your physical condition. I am just glad I got to see your face.
There are nuts everywhere. You are unusually beautiful and you are going to get fan mail. Fan is just short for "fanatic."
I do have to say that it is cringeworthy seeing video after video of people who just heard of something and thusly assume nobody else ever heard of it.
Anyway, be yourself and enjoy your beauty, inside and out. Everyone who is interesting on YT gets nutty comments. Peace :)
You know, what I find most attractive about you is you are Asian. The nub thing is fine but doesn't really do anything plus or minus. But wow, I would never pester you and say "wow you're Asian let's have sex" cuz that's just crude. Just the idea that anyone would have that type of expectation is a little creepy. I'm a little offended about it! And I am hard to offend. Just keep on being you, and don't mind the crazys who treat you like a freak show, devoted or not.
Sorry to hear that. But in this world people just look at the beauty. And judge you by looks. you do your thing and I wish you good luck in your life.
I just stumbled across your channel, and i dare say you're a really nice person and i wish you all the best in life. I have a friend exactly like you and he's a lady killer and a European sword fighting champion. Keep up the good work.
@HCTxTekno Devotee has many definitions. The one I am discussing here is the fetish/interest in people with disabilities. What can't I do? I haven't yet found something.
thats weird that people get turned on by such things. But to each their own i suppose. Out of curiosity, what line of work do you want to be/already are in? No offense intended as what prompted the question is the college dorm fung shei of the back drop lol.
@564955charlie Haha no offense taken. Definitely should have cleaned up before doing that video. Oh well!! :p I'm interested in psychology, biochemistry, pharmacy and pre-med. People may say I'm not focused yet. I say they're difficult fields and I like options. I like learning about the mechanics of the body. :)
The "problem" with many devotees is that they are attracted by a womans physical differences, be they missing or deformed limbs, a limp, paralysis, etc with absolutely no regard to whether they are compatible with the object of their affection, or lust as the case may be. As with any relationship--attraction must go far deeper than physical traits, or it simply will not work no matter what. Most women have no use for a man who wants them only for their body.
Hi Sara: First thank you for sharing with us. You are charming, intelligent, and insightful. Yes I am what I call an "admirer" and have been that way since I was about 8 years old. I certainly didn't ask for this peculiarity; It just showed up unannounced and has never gone away. BTW, I'm also old enough to be your grandfather (I'm 65) and have been married for 40 years to the same wonderful lady. (she has all her body parts too!) I'd like it if you would respond. thanks!
I agree Sarimperil; I get a lot of this even though I'm male (a fairly hefty balding male!) mainly from male devotees. Its made me reluctant to put the videos of me doing stuff I am proud of on here. Its a shame because I think they would be supportive to others. Its brave and switched on for you to say this. I couldn't agree more with your comments.
@JackDaniels798 Not that I've recalled. I've always had a strong group of friends. People were able to see that I was able to function, have good friends, etc. and left me alone. I don't think I've ever really been made fun of. And if I have and don't recall ... well, it's obviously not bothered me much! :p
the open way you act, and talk to people. i sad that you have bad experience whit devotees, cause, not all devotees are crazy people, that just want you because of your arm. A lot of them are nice people, and like yoú say, i just like if you like redheads or blondes.
i respekt you totally ! and you seems to be a nice person !
I hope you will keep posting videos ! cause you are so cool !
As a devotee myself (a thing that I am not proud of), I loathe how devotees treat women with such disrespect. It's a fetish, a weird one, but it's no different then people who are attracted to those with a big chest. There are several good psychological essays in published journals on the matter (some written by amputees I might add) that are quite insightful on the subject.
You're right, there is no justification for the behavior. And thank you for not thinking that we are all crazy.
is it wrong for me to think that assisting the disabled in style is wrong? because i sometimes have thoughts of helping them in retreiveing stuff, open doors, stuff like that. if i were to see one having trouble with something then i would come up and ask "you need some help with that?" and if they say no then noes and noes ya know? (i hope my words make sense adn wont offend anyone)
I found this interesting. I saw the title when I was looking at a totally unrelated video and clicked out of curiosity. I am attracted to certain attributes like dark hair and dark eyes in general and have a few fetishes but just because I find these things a "turn on" doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to get to know a person first and it doesn't have to be a requirement. I guess I am superficial at first but also open to anyone that grab my heart and mind. Thanks for your intelligent response.
Never did I know the word devotee until I googled for it. There are people out there with different forms of fetishism. I did a presentation on people obsessed with watching obese women stuffing themselves with junk food. There's a name for that practice, can't remember. I'm not a devotee. This psychotic disorder I have makes me feel I'm an amputee and I look for inspiration from amputee videos to overcome my insecurities. So I subscribed because I like your personality.
I think it is often social repression, and thus, guilt, that makes people weird. This is true of some amputees' feelings about themselves, and many devotees about themselves. Wider understanding in society would be a great help. Meanwhile, Sara, you are accurate and perceptive in what you say about the deviants, about your amputation not being the main, or even an important, aspect of any relationship. You are a whole and happy person, and a wonderful example to everyone.
Here's the deal IMO. I think that among any group of men, some number of them will be pure jerks who are unable or unwilling to rein themselves in. When those jerks are going after (arbitrary example) blondes, their impact on a particular blonde is minimized by the fact that there are billions of blondes. Amputees are far less numerous (in proportion to the number of relevant fetishists, not just overall), so you get stuck dealing with way more than your fair share of jerks.
A quick google search tells me that: 1) devotees are normal people 2) devoteeism isnt a fetish 3) devoteeism is a fetish 4) devoteeism is a disease 5) devotees are special people 6) devotees are normal people
My belief, or, maybe just hope, is that a scope of nature wider than human social norms has provided humanity in vast varieties on myriad levels, and that there is balance in understanding and acceptance. Gender is one divide (that is not simple). Race is another. "Othernesses" of many kinds exist. All these can be fascinating, and beautiful. They are rarely the sina qua non of relationship. But, it's comforting to know that the scope is there.
Sara, this generous, caring, understanding perspective of yours is of great value, I'm sure, both to amputees and devotees. Each is born with a condition they have to come to terms with. Each needs healthy and positive ways and attitudes, and, I believe, such ways and attitudes are possible. Society hopefully is making progress toward understanding more and more of what is natural and beautiful in people. Broader norms. You are absolutely part of the solution. Thank you very much!
They're not crazy, they're just not mainstream. How is it different from being turned on by bouncing big boobs? Women are a lot of things before they're blonde, curvy etc, but it doesn't stop men from getting interested in their physical traits first. The most you can say is they're not PC, they're certainly not crazy.
@fonsecaj2 I agree to an extent. We desire a woman that we have almost no chance to be with. For me this is a woman I want as my soulmate. But encounters with disabled women can be rare and I still want a woman that I like and am compatible with. I think these factors and the fear of being stigmatized if discovered can cause severe lonliness and unfortunitely some do inappropriate things. I hope they find love and are calmed!
Would you be offended, if you were not in a relationship, someone said to you, " I think you're smart, I think you're pretty, and I think your nub is cute?"
@halexxx Ok, I know where you're coming from with that. You feel that she is arrestingly beautiful. But in this video she is demanding to be valued for the content of her character rather than her physical self. nam sayin?
Great post. I think you were very honest about it. And I completely agree with you about the entire topic.

I have had some VERY odd people come up to me with weird questions, so I can relate.

Also your bird is clearly feeling left out from the conversation!! And wants to add his share.

It's a completly different thing to be interested in someone who happens to be an amputee, than in someone because is an amputee.
You are a human been, a person, a woman (who happens to be beautiful) and a lot of other things before you be an amputee.
