There’s this fetish out there where some people are turned on sexually by amputees.\u00a0 It’s called apotemnophilia<\/a>.\u00a0 Some of the folks who have this condition desire amputees sexually and some want to be amputees themselves.\u00a0 To be honest, I don’t understand either proclivity.\u00a0 However, I will say that over the years I’ve met some perfectly nice folks with these leanings and found them to be harmless–even if they are unusually curious about my body.<\/p>\n

But occasionally I come across some not-so-perfectly-nice things in connection with this condition.\u00a0 It tends to happen often on flickr, when someone asks to be my ‘contact.’\u00a0 When someone sends such a request, I typically click through to their profile or their photos to see if I know this person or to find what we might have in common (because, I do love photography and flickr is one of my favorite social media spaces).\u00a0 Oh, but today, as has happened more than a few times before, I didn’t see any lovely landscapes or kitties.\u00a0 Instead, when I clicked through to the profile I landed on a site with terrifically graphic and disturbing images of women’s disembodied limbs [scrub, scrub, scrubbing my eyeballs now].\u00a0 What I saw…I can’t understand or be tolerant of–it’s simply sick.\u00a0 And it’s one of the main reasons that I don’t watch slasher horror movies or attend zombie walks.\u00a0 My life has enough of the zombie already.<\/p>\n

Posting this with a picture of a pretty kitten–a small attempt to overwrite the ugliness dancing around in my brain right now.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
