Object sexuality

The sexual attraction of people to inanimate objects is called object sexuality . The term, an invention of Eija-Riitta Eklöf-Berliner-Mauer , is used as a self-designation by "object sex" who see this attraction not as fetishism , but as an independent sexual orientation . “Object sexuality” is not an established term in psychological or medical science. The term “objectophilia”, which can also be found in this context, is alternatively used as a description of a pathological addiction to having to collect certain things.

The following became known as object sex:

• Eija-Riitta Eklöf Berlin Wall
• Erika Eiffel

A special type of object sexuality is dendrophilia , the sexual inclination towards trees.
