Amelotatism is a term used to describe the condition of feeling no sexual attraction to a person or group of people, regardless of their physical attributes or personality traits. It is often considered a part of the broader spectrum of sexual orientations, specifically related to the absence of sexual attraction.

Those who identify with amelotatism may experience romantic attraction or emotional connections, but they do not feel sexual desire toward others. This can be distinct from other forms of attraction, such as platonic or aesthetic attraction.

For example, an individual may have close friendships and deep emotional bonds with others but not feel compelled to engage in sexual activities with them. Amelotatism can be an important aspect of someone’s identity, helping to articulate their experiences in relationships and interactions in a world that often prioritizes sexual attraction as a central component of connection.

Amelotatism refers to a specific fetish or sexual interest in partners who have a physical disability or are amputees. This term is often used within the context of sexual attraction to individuals with missing limbs or other physical impairments. It is essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and respect for the autonomy and agency of individuals with disabilities.
