Apotemnophilia

The first name given the condition of Body Integrity Identity Disorder, by John Money in the early 1990's. This label has fallen in disfavour among people who have BIID because of the negative connotation of the sexual aspect of philias. It is also innacurate, in that not all transabled individuals have a sexual attraction to acquire their needed impairment. It is further innapropriate in that the term apotemnophilia limits BIID to those who need to become amputee, when anectodal evidence shows that there are numerous other conditions sought.
