[AMP-L] Not A Leg To Stand On (short story)

[Wayne Renardson]

via City Journal:

Amos Wilson was not a happy man. What had his parents-actually, his 
father-been thinking of when they, or he, gave him such a name? He 
had been mocked for it as a child and had never recovered from the 
mockery. The child, after all, is father to the man.  

There was another serious reason for his unhappiness, however. Now 
aged forty, he had never known what every man desires, sexual 
fulfilment. For some reason which he could not fathom himself, there 
was no satisfaction for him in any sexual activity unless he imagined 
himself to be an amputee. He knew that this was, by the standards of 
others, strange, bizarre: but which of us can account for his  
desires, how and why they arise?
