So I've just finished watching a documentary called Married to the Eiffel Tower. It's about three women who are objectum sexuals.
"Objectum sexuality" or object sexuality is defined by Wikipedia as
Mrs. Eiffel Tower visited Berlin to see her lover:
To the Berlin Wall: "I tried to hate you. I tried. ...I curse myself for being human. I wish I were an object like you!"
This movie is just as interesting as I had hoped it would be and is filled with leagues of psycho-data to analyze and think about. The only part that made me marginally upset was that these women (all objectum sexuals are women, according to the documentary) claimed to love these objects soooo deeply. With more passion and depth than most human relationships. But they also loved so many at the same time.
Does Mrs. Eiffel Tower have no respect for the sanctity of marriage? She spends a great deal of her married life fawning over the Berlin Wall (who is married to another woman in Sweden, the scoundrel) and falling in love with every red fence she sees with just the right angles.
The documentarian fails to reveal that objectum sexuals believe in polygamy until the last ten minutes of the film.
Anyway, I learned something today! Someone else watch this so we can have a chat!
"Objectum sexuality" or object sexuality is defined by Wikipedia as
"a pronounced emotional and often romantic desire towards developing significant relationships with particular inanimate objects. Those individuals with this expressed preference may feel strong feelings of attraction, love, and commitment to certain items or structures of their fixation."One woman married the Eiffel Tower a few years before the production of this documentary. She is also a world champion archer, and developed a particularly strong relationship with her bow, Lance. She also has significant relationships with the Golden Gate Bridge, a samurai sword, various wooden gates and the Berlin Wall. Throughout the movie, we get to see several moments of this woman and her fellows caressing buildings, sharing a bed with miniature models, and visiting their significant others (some of which are in different continents).

"One of the tragic parts of this relationship is that he and I can never be truly intimate. Whereas with other objects I've loved in the past that's never been an issue." GUH?! This is really interesting and disturbing. I would expect nothing less from a Claire DeBuys blog post.
