Hi, can you share what the birth sex was of the research group you write about? I have the idea that the erotic desire for amputees would be more common in those born male, and I'd like to know if that's correct or not.

I also wonder whether a non-sexual desire to be disabled could an expression of feelings of helplessness and reluctance to accept the burden of living independently. What do you think? I'm aware of an American woman who blinded herself. It didn't seem to be at all erotic.
