This was on TLC (what else?) last night.

The first story was about a guy who is love with his car named Chase.

The car is a male.

The guy has had s*x with his car.

I could only watch the first few minutes of this show, before I had to turn it off.

Just too freaky for me!

I think we are going to see a lot of "interesting" behavior normalized in the near future.

It's all about tolerance, understanding, etc.

Sorry I can't remember the show, but not long ago there was a storyline about a woman who was "in love" with an inanimate object - I forget what it was (or maybe I am trying to blot it out of my mind - LOL). It was very sympathetic to her - and about how she suffered because the rest of us judged her and did not "understand."

Now this. Apparently a series on this type of thing.

Secks with a car will never be normalized.

I'll say this much, it did not involve the gas tank, or the tail pipe.

From Wikipedia

Objectum S*uality flashed into mainstream and has been the subject in a wide variety of international media stemming from ABC News Good Morning America and the Tyra Banks Show where they featured Erika Eiffel and her marriage to the Eiffel Tower discussing how her object love empowered her to become a two time world champion in archery and her role as a spokesperson for OS.^[3]

Also featured was clinical s*ologist, Dr. Amy Marsh to whom ABC News raised the question about objectum orientation versus paraphilia Dr. Marsh shared insights from her recent survey research and revealed that she supported OS as a legitimate orientation with further study required.

In the summer of 2009, Erika Eiffel was invited to give a one-hour presentation to s*x*ogy students and s*x therapists and educators at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Se*ality in San Francisco, California. The presentation took place during the eight-day Se*ual Attitude Restructuring (SAR) program given annually at the Institute. The presentation was moderated by Dr. Amy Marsh and it was taped and is now preserved in the Institute's library archives.

Dr. Marsh, writing a weekly column called "Love's Outer Limits"^[8] for Carnal Nation, began with three columns called "People Who Love Objects".^[9][10][11] She has also published "Love Among the Objectum Se*als" in the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality, March 2010.^[5]

Actually, there is a legitimate psychological disorder called objectophilia. You can Google it. Wiki has a good description.

I don't think it's something to be mocked.

As for "accepting" these things...i don't think.it leads to normalization. It's more about understanding.

What would be better.... should we shun or torment people we don't understand?

Recognizing that a segment of the entire world population has brain synapses that are different from the norm is not "normalizing" their brain patterns. It is simply recognizing that these segments exist, just as we recognize that schizophrenia exists.

Loving an object is far less of a social difficulty or social problem (except maybe for the subject) than a severe mental illness. Object lovers live in all societies, I suppose. Should we pretend they don't?
