Help find one English word!
I was just watching a digested BBC program about a couple of American women who love "things" rather than real men (or women). One of them has recently "married" the Eiffel Tower after saying eternal good-bye to her ex-boyfriend, the Golden Gate Bridge.
Since I watched this program in Japanese, I didn't get to catch what this kind of love or a person loves these things were called in English. Any help would be appreciated. |
Nagoyankee, If I am undertsanding your question, this kind of persons love in English, or at least in Australia would be classified as a mental health issue.

All I can find is "objectum sexual"
Google define: Objectum sexuality or Objektsexualität in German, is a pronounced sexual and or emotional desire towards particular inanimate objects Here is an article in English, titled: 'I married the Eiffel Tower' Although it was written in 2008, you might like to read it 'I married the Eiffel Tower' - Living, The New Review - The Independent Edit: Here is another link :) Objectum-Sexuality Internationale - Homepage for Objectum-Sexuals & Objectum Sexuality info with Objectum sexual history |
Thanks for the links, yuriyuri!
This is truly intriguing. |
Oh, I watched that not too long ago. Strange to say the least :p
|
I've heard about a lot of strange things in my life, but I can honestly say I've never heard of someone who was literally attracted to a piece of architecture in a romantic sense. Kudos if you manage to ever use this word in casual conversation.

I had never heard of this but it sounded interesting so I Googled it. It's also called "Objectophilia".
I found it here: Cynical-C Blog | Married to the Eiffel Tower They have a link to where you can watch the BBC special about it. |
