It is one of the strangest paraphilias that exist. Achromotophiliacs only find sexual pleasure by observing or touching people with amputated limbs, no matter what part of the body is involved. The increase in their libido occurs only with sexual partners who have amputated limbs since for them, amputation is sexually attractive.
This fetish is considered dangerous for disabled people who are the object of sexual desire, since they are considered potentially vulnerable members of society in the face of people who seek to fulfill this particular paraphilia.
There are online communities of "devotees" or followers of this paraphilia, where they produce and exchange images with "electronic surgery" , in which photographs are retouched to simulate that their protagonists have amputated limbs .
The etymology of this word comes from the Greek: akron (limb), moto (to cut) and philia (to love).
As a variant there is apotemnophilia , paraphilia that consists of the intense desire to be the object of an amputation.
