Interesting, are you into all types of elephantiasis or just the ones that effect physical mobility?

I also love unusual medical things like you TC. Elephantiasis is something I have had on my list of obscure interests but over time as I've learned about it ,I realized it's not something I find devy at all just something I find interesting. Maybe I should make a 3rd poll for unusual interests. lol. Oh man stuttering too. I have only met two people in my life with a true stutter but both times they left a really strong impression on me. I didn't find it devy really but was completely struck by the disability the stutter created and super curious how it affected them socially.

If it effects certain spots, hands, face, and back. I remember seeing Elephant Man when I was VERY young (5-6?), and I was so drawn to it. I think I was more drawn to the emotional part of it; with his shame and "hiding" himself from the world, than the actual physical disfigurement. I'm also very intrigued and interested in all things "unusual," and I do consider it to be a part of my devness, but it's not a devvy "attraction" to me. I definitely also find that stuff you mentioned in the other thread very interesting. So quick story about stuttering- when I was a teenager, I went babysitting with my BFF for a family she knew. When the dad came home to relieve us- omg he had the strongest stutter I knew existed at that time in my life. He'd get stuck on a word for a very long time, it was almost torture to me at points because he couldn't get past a letter. I had SUCH a strong physical reaction to it, like ears ringing, my heart was pumping. I could barely hear the guy I was having a mini stroke it felt like. I just remember it being crazy and I had no clue why I was reacting that way. Man, I wanted to babysit for that family again! Lol. How a PWD appears to the rest of society and my relation to him and that is a big part of the devness for me. I remember the first time I realized I liked stuttering too. It was a guy at school in the kind of weirdo kids outcast group (I did fit right in). I knew he stuttered a little but thought it was not that big of a deal until he was trying to tell a joke to a group of people and seemed stuck on one word for an awkward amount of time. He never finished the joke he got so frustrated he just walked away. I was young at this time like 14. I was really really intrigued with this guy but since he was a few grades older than me I was too afraid to ever approach him. Another guy I knew vaguely in high school he ate lunch with me and my friends was this dwarf (midget, little person?) but again I was too nervous to approach. I also remember around that time, sometimes between 14-16 I read Phantom of the Opera and was super obsessed and intrigued by the social aspect of it, the mask and hiding himself, and shame. Then my second ever bf in high school I was about 17, he had a severe back injury as a kid in a car wreck that left him severely hunch backed. People at school called him Quasimodo. Then when we got together they would tease us and call us Beauty and the Beast. The Quasimodo thing always intrigued me, I actually liked it a lot.. He was one of the first people I ever told about my devness. He was nice about it.

There's definitely a difference between attraction and interest.
A lot of medical/disability stuff I find super interesting, but not devvy in any way.

I also find unusual medical stuff fascinating, but not devvy. Any time there is something medical related on TLC or something I am right there and I read a lot of stuff on the internet. Sometimes I really think I should have gone to medical school but I am so not motivated enough for that!
I had a long term relationship with a guy in my early twenties that had a pretty severe stutter and I definitely got devvy feelings from it though at the time I wasn't all that self aware and didn't realize why I liked it so much because I only connected the devness to paras at that point. He also had a form of sickle cell and while I didn't find that devvy in the attraction department, I did like helping care for him when he was having a flare up. Too bad he was such a dick!

I can find things like watching surgery to be very medically fascinating but not at all sexual on any level.
But when it comes to a person with disability I know I'm attracted to it when I'm sexually moved enough (even to the point of masturbating to it). Often times that can be watching someone with impaired mobility attempting to do something.

When it comes to stuttering watching their struggle to attempt to speak literally turns me on, CP can effect someone's speech too when it's too severe it can be frustrating but when it's slight it's cute. I like if the ticks become more pronounced based on someone's emotional state.

Interesting the poll is setup by medical condition. To me I categorize it more in terms of the physical manifestation - in my case primary interest is the use of a wheelchair. Not a huge preference for any particular conditions per se. Low mobility in the legs is definitely more interesting - but some sensation is attractive as well (a bit of a paradox perhaps).
By the way - Im a total newb here, how do you vote?

For me quads really do it. Paras too, but the higher the injury the more appealing for me personally. Do other people experience this too?

Somewhat. I like amputees and in a lot of cases the higher the amputation level or more limbs a guy is missing the more attractive find him but its not 100% black and white. Amputees have so many more variations than SCI.

Amputees have so many more variations than SCI. I'd say in my case it's more about what sort of ways the stump could be used in? There's more space to get creative if the joint is still there.
