A Look into the Lives of Objectum-Sexuals
Imagine a life where, as a woman, you crawled from your warm, empty, bed on a November morning to watch your husband be publicly executed. His crime? Existence. This is what happened to one Swedish woman. Her husband was the Berlin Wall, and on November 9, 1989, she was traumatized as her husband was brutally destroyed with hammers, and she felt absolutely destroyed as she watched people tear chunks from his body. In 1979 this woman tied the knot with the Berlin Wall, legally changing her name to Mauer, which is the German word for wall.
With objectophilia, feelings of love, attraction, arousal, and commitment are focused on a particular object, and the mere thought of a relationship with an actual human being seems ludicrous. The politically correct term for the individual in love with an object is Objectum-Sexual.
Issues crop up in Objectum-Sexual relationships, just as they do in any type of relationship. One man found that he was particularly aroused by the inner workings of mechanical objects, and this often led to affairs. He would cheat on his beloved, a steam locomotive, a simple repair job would lead to all sorts of trouble for him. Incidentally, his steam locomotive partner is male to him. So, technically, as he will admit, he is living in an Objectum-Sexual, gay relationship.
Some would find attraction and commitment to a sole object unnatural, but to the Objectum-Sexual, attractions to other human beings seems rather odd. The next question that comes to mind is one that most of you are probably asking by now. Is this really acceptable? The answer is simply...Yes. Sexologist Volkmar Sisusch says that "The objectophiles aren't hurting anyone. They're not abusing or traumatizing anyone." Sisusch won't classify this behavior as pathological.
I agree. To each his own. I know that I pursue my love interest of choice, and though that person is human, I wouldn't like it if someone told me who, or what I could love. So, let's leave these people be. Let them have a voice, and treat them with the same respect you would anyone else. After all, I can bet assuredly on the fact that they won't be harassing you because you chose to pursue the more traditional route, an interpersonal relationship.

Post a Comment.I am also an objectum sexual person I have always been nuts about the old fashioned rubberboots that girls wore back in the50's and 60's the ones they wore over their shoes. My favorites are the red ones. I have a couple pairs of them and I enjoy taking them to bed with me. I wrap them in a small blanket and cuddle them thru the night. Ive slept with my boots for as long as I can remember. Im interested in find others who enjoy their boots as I do.

I am in love with my bike and didn't really fathom that I could be an objectum sexual. I named him, I wash him and just want him to be so clean. I love riding with him because it makes me so calm to the turmoil that is around me. I love my bike.. I can't really explain why, I just love the way he looks. He is my love. It just happened.
To: Pamela thank you for your help, and to Saya... hey!:p I didn't know you found me on here too,....oh, everyone else, Saya is now my friend...bestest friend...I'm hyper
shego1142 -- I, too, have recently discovered this after many years of assuming I was alone -- I would like to get in touch with you somehow, if that is okay -- I am fifteen, and while joining the adult groups have been insightful in many ways, I guess it'd just feel better to know someone else who is also my age, and is in a similar position.
I'm not sure if you'll ever get around to seeing my message, but if you do.
Thanks,
TO: Shego1142: If you're seeking support, try a Google search. Remember to confide in those you trust, and always follow your heart. Good luck.
I am an Objectum sexual, and until yesterday, I, besides my love, thought I was alone. The scariest part for me, I'm thirteen. Honestly the first paragraph, about the Berlin wall, made me cry. I was wondering if there were blogs or groups with others talking on there?
So what ahppens when more than one person is in love with an object?
Do they fight each other?
I see you've even gotten a comment from Mrs. Eiffel herself! Fascinating article. I found my way here after another CP (or Source as we are supposed to say now) wrote on the same subject.
