Asthenophilia. Love of physical weakness.
I've never written, talked about, or thought about my fetish like this before. I don't know why I'm doing it now except that I'm randomly curious if anyone can relate, or if they share my fetish or parts of it. I only recently learned the term asthenophilia and even the use of the term seems to be quite rare. I know medical equipment fetishes are more numerous, but even that seems kind of rare. Anyways. Here it is. An epic rambling about my apparent asthenophilia.
I love displays and descriptions of physical weakness in others. I am pansexual, so gender does not factor too strongly for me, it's just about weak, frail bodies. Everything from a girl getting dizzy when she stands up quickly, to a man who has quadriplegia and uses a motorized wheelchair. Able-bodied people who are weak for one reason or another. People with disabilities that render them weak. CP. MD. CFS/ME. Fibro. POTS. And everywhere in between. Anything related to being physically weak.
I like weak-looking girls with tiny arms and brittle wrists. I like skinny, thin men with fragile-looking legs. Pale skin, prominent bones. Thin shoulders. Looking like they must be handled gently, cared for tenderly, due their delicate physique. Maybe holding on to a walker or using a wheelchair (especially motorized), but not necessarily.
I like someone fatigued and breathing hard from a strenuous workout, or even perhaps from something ordinary for most people that is strenuous to them because they are physically weak (i.e. walking up a flight of stairs leaving someone breathless and winded). Especially if they've exerted themselves so hard they're shaking. I love shaking, especially shaking hands, for any reason, be it environmental (i.e. cold air temperature) or physiological (essential tremor, weakness from disease, excessive caffeine consumption). I find anorexia/bulimia/ED fascinating, as it is in some ways self-imposed (a "choice," if you will, although I realize it is a disease/mental illness and in many ways not a choice) and elicits many of the symptoms I am interested in.
And then of course there's my love of medical apparatus, especially walkers, forearm crutches, canes, and wheelchairs. But any kind of medical apparatus intrigues me. Oxygen tanks. Casts. Splints. Even glasses. For some reason I feel this way about fingerless gloves too, maybe because they somewhat resemble a wrist guard.
The more one struggles, the more exciting I find it. I love when a person is weak and must be helped/supported/aided by another person for various reasons, be it feeding, or walking, or rising from a seated position. Feeding is a newer fascination for me, but just the word turns me on. I'm not into vore, just weakness/disability where a person requires help feeding, eating, and drinking. But not necessarily.
I fantasize about loving someone frail and weak, who I can hold in my strong arms, someone to be looked after, cared for, empathized with, treated like a human being, and yes, sexualized, when appropriate. Someone who can share an equable, healthy emotional relationship, who also happens to have some kind of weakness, frailty, or disability. I'm not sure if it would ever happen, I do not deliberately seek out people with disabilities, etc. for dating (although I did date someone with an obvious health condition one time).
It's just a strange, wonderful place I go to in my head. And on the internet, I guess.
Does anyone else relate to any of this? I have never talked to someone about this that related or shared my fetish. It's pretty lonely sometimes but I also get to feel terminally unique.
If anyone is interested I might write some related vignettes, or share some videos/pictures that I like, but I want to put this out there first. Most of the time the reaction is disgust, incredulity, or I get basically ignored, so I'm prepared for that, but it would be nice to meet even one other person who was into this....
Anyways.
This is already too long. I have more to say but I'm ending it here. K. Night night. <3
