Objectophilia is a form of attraction where individuals develop romantic or emotional feelings towards inanimate objects. This can include anything from everyday items like cars and buildings to more unusual objects such as statues or machines. People with this orientation may form deep connections with these objects, often attributing human-like qualities to them. This phenomenon is considered a type of paraphilia, which is a broader category of atypical sexual interests. While objectophilia is not widely understood, those who experience it often report feelings of love and companionship towards their chosen objects, leading to unique personal relationships that can be fulfilling for them.
