A disability pretender is someone who behaves as if he or she is disabled. Pretenders may be the missing link between disability devotee devotees and disability wannabes wannabes , proving an assumed continuum between those merely attracted to people with disabilities and those actively wishing to become disabled. Many wannabes use pretending as a way to appease the intense emotional pain related to having body integrity identity disorder . Pretending takes a variety of forms. Some chatroom users on internet sites catering to devotees have complained that chat counterparts they assumed were female were revealed as male devotees. This form of pretending where a devotee derives pleasure by pretending to be a disabled woman may indicate a very broad predisposition to pretending among devotees. Pretending includes dressing and acting in ways typical of disabled people, including making use of aids crutches , wheelchair s, white cane s, etc. typically used by them. Pretending may also take the form of a devotee persuading his or her sexual partner to play the role of a disabled person. Pretending may be practiced in private, in intimacy, or in public, and may occupy surprisingly long periods. In the latter case, some pretenders hope that the disability may become permanent, e.g. through tissue necrosis caused by constricted blood supply, etc. See also abasiophilia the desire for people who limp and or use leg braces, walking sticks, crutches, walkers or wheelchairs acrotomophilia the desire for amputees apotemnophilia the desire to be or appear as an amputee. attraction to disability the broad range of sexualised fascinations with disabled people disability devotee dev one who desires disabled partners medical fetishism a sexualised interest in observing medical practice and receiving ... bruno art.html Bruno, R.
