Objectum Sexuals

I came across this website which tells you all about this sexual orientation. Also, it has links to other pages relating to this.

Eija-Riitta was the pioneer for this sexual preference and her and two close friends, Lars and Frank were the ones who gave it the name Objectum-Sexuality or the acronym OS. 

"In 1996, Eija-Riitta started the first website dedicated to OS in 4 languages.  More or less a personal account of her own life and sexuality but also an informative site directed at the nature of OS."

"In 1999, Eija-Riitta launched the first internet group with an extended invitation to anyone interested in discussing objectùm-sexual issues.  People poured in but it was unclear if they were actually OS or simply curious and discussions never developed.  While this first attempt failed to bring about an open dialog, Eija-Riitta decided to close and reopen another in 2002 with focus directed at providing a more private environment for discussion."

"Another founding member was Erika Eiffel, a world class archer and martial artist.  She travelled extensively to meet with Oliver and having a kinship love for the Berlin Wall also met with her close friend, Eija-Riitta, in 2006.  Later Erika set out to meet all the OS membership in an effort to gather data and learn more about the enigma of objectùm-sexuality.  Together, Oliver and Erika successfully adapted their German OS group for English speaking objectum-sexuals in 2004. "

Eija-Riitta and Erika were in the documentary that I watched the other day 'Married to the Eiffel tower'. 

"The Red Fence is cherished by Eija-Riitta as an object she holds dear to her heart.  As a tribute to her courage and devotion, Röda Staketet is to the objectùm-sexual community...  our symbol."

"Fences exist throughout society.  We put them up to protect ourselves but not to shut people out.  One can look over a Fence and see what’s on the other side.  If the grass is indeed greener or not…  this we decide for ourselves."

"Objectùm-sexual love comes for most in a similar awakening as other sexualities at the start of puberty.  This is often followed by an acute awareness that we do not relate to peers due to the source of projected feelings.  Often objectùm-sexual people feel outcast or pressured by mainstream sexuality with a helpless feeling that we cannot change what comes so naturally to us."

Is OS a fetish? 

"No, objectum-sexuality is not a fetish.  While a fetishist must have their desired object present as a catalyst to achieve sexual gratification, the love for our object is not based on a habitual psychosexual response.  It is the object that captivates us on many more levels besides sexual arousal.  Fetishists do not see the object as animate as we do and therefore do not commence to develop a loving relationship with the object."

"While animism is not a condition, it is the most common reason objectum-sexual people with no notable psychological condition have for loving and connecting to objects on a significant level.  The innate belief that objects are not inanimate but possess a spirit, soul, or energy to which one can connect with."
