The movie Armless is about a man who secretly wants his arms removed for his own emotional reasons. It's actually a really good movie about our inexplicable, often unreachable needs, and how we can accept and live with them in a healthy way. It's presently incomplete on bittorrent and cannot be downloaded, would love a fresh copy.

I found a copy that's still being seeded and am currently seeding it myself, sent you the magnet link in dm

Bad news. That version only has Italian audio. Alas!

the last one i sent? i just checked and it's in english....

Yes, I am certain. You might need to listen a bit closer; the English audio is still present, but it gets ducked when the Italian dubbing comes in. Or maybe you speak Italian and didn't realize it!

I'm thankful they told me where I, too, can acquire extreme pornography.

Y'all didn't read very far didja?

At Truro crown court on Thursday, Judge James Adkin heard that Hopper was identified after investigations into Marius Gustavson, who ran the website. Gustavson was jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years at the Old Bailey last year for leading an extreme body modification ring. It carried out male castration, penis removal and other procedures on people as young as 16.

Normally I don't kink shame but if people are ending up on lists from this... good?

I did stop after a point, so many articles seem to go on rephrasing the same information.
