SYNOPSIS:
"No one can be emotionally neutral regarding another person with a disability. The person is either rejected or accepted and the disability accommodated." So states a psychologist who is himself disabled in a wheelchair. A loss of sexuality is the number one fear of those who become disabled. The first cognizant thought of a woman who becomes an amputee is "will any man want me now?" Indeed, society dictates "NO!" And the amputee responds to society's dictate. However that is not the reality. There are men who are peculiarly attracted to women who are unique. And various forms of disability can be seen as a unique feature. This book describes the psychological aspects of women amputees and the men who find them attractive. Must reading for every amputee, since the effect also includes women devotees who find attraction in men amputees. -- The author
