Natural Body Magic

Natural Body Magic is a fantasy fetish sexuality-neutral umbrella term for the Detachable Limb Fetishist Community. Originating online in 1998 in Yahoo! Groups as part of an ASFR community dedicated to Male Robots. The limbs, and even heads, were replaceable parts that could be removed at-will without harm. The fetish grew towards more magical separation of body parts that either were autonomous, partially-autonomous, or under complete control of the original body. Much of the content was inspired by US-American Sitcoms, Science Fiction and Comedy movies with disembodied limbs as well as stage illusions performing different acts. The latter group was called Detachable Limb Fetish Group and survived until 2003 when it became so popular with thousands of members that Yahoo! Groups shut it down after being automatically featured on the main Yahoo! Groups page for a week. Subsequent Yahoo! Groups failed to bring the community back together. The term 'Natural Body Magic' arose from the heterosexual male-dominated groups as an identifiable separation from the male-subject artists and groups that focused on them. 'Natural Body Magic' was absorbed to be the normative used umbrella term by all. Due to the lack of community after the first group was banned, the artists were spread out across different platforms. In recent years, many original creators and fans of the artwork opened Discord Servers to protect and return to a sense of community that was once on Yahoo! Groups.

Natural Body Magic is a fetish/interest for people who can detach parts without blood lose or injury and still control the parts, even in cases were the head is detached. This fetish is thought to be male dominated, but looking back at history, it's clear to see that there's only more male fetish artist. There's a reason why "La Guillotine" is feminine in french; most of the people who watched the beheadings were women.
