Objectum Sexuality

This morning, I tweeted this:

Objectosexuals fascinate me. I wonder what goes on in the mind of someone who is sexually attracted to inanimate objects

I consider myself to be quite open-minded about sex. I don't judge fetishes, nor do I judge sexual orientation. There's not much that would disgust me. I've braved the world of 4chan and survived without being scarred for life. So for someone to fall in love with the Eiffel Tower and be sexually attracted to it doesn't seem farfetched to me.

One of the things that fascinated me about objectum sexuals most is the fact that before the invention of the internet, many objectum sexuals didn't even know that other objectum sexuals exist. Many grew up believing that they were the only ones, that they were freaks.

Below is an excellent documentary about objectum sexuality (OS) made by Channel Five in the UK. If you have 45 minutes to spare, give it a go.

My girlfriend recommended this documentary to me last year. It's opened up a lot of questions I never even considered about sex.

If you're finding this post to be less humorous than usual, it's because I feel uncomfortable being judgmental of other people's sexual preference. I prefer talking about myself because the only person I'm judging is myself. But I feel like I should definitely share this, if only for you to form your own opinion on objectum sexuality and the way it might give a new perspective on your own sexual life.

Who knows, you might be a closet objectum sexual.
