objectify this


Tired of smart alecs asking you to marry the computer you love? Take them up on the offer.

This article is all about objectophilia, a sexual obsession with certain objects. Seriously. One 25-year-old woman notes, "When it comes to love, I am only attracted to objects. I couldn't imagine a love affair with a human being."

Wait...it gets better. You'll read all about a 35-year-old guy who's in a homosexual relationship with a male iBook, but claims he has "often flirted with many a sweet laptop on eBay and felt true desire."

Not to mention the 41-year-old repair guy who, at just 12 years old, took on an emotional and physical relationship with a Hammond organ. He's since moved on to a monogamous relationship with a locomotive, which is apparently kind of a big deal, since he's cheated in the past. He cites a weakness for "the inner workings of technical objects."

"A love affair could very well begin with a broken radiator," he says.

Wow...and you thought your leather fetish was weird.

Happy Thursday, everyone. And hey...stop making out with that cell phone.
