Since I teach a course in Human Sexuality, I did a little follow-up search on this story, and found this story which includes a documentary about this young woman. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/277168
"Objectum sexuality" is not unheard of apparently, but I don't see it in the DSM-IV (I don't have V yet - does anyone who has V see it there?), nor in my textbook on Human Sexuality. It seems to have some of the characteristics of fetishism, but doesn't fit comfortably in that definition either. <http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/277168>Beth Benoit Granite State College Plymouth State University New Hampshire On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 11:35 AM, DeVolder Carol L <[email protected]>wrote: > If you thought anime-love was weird, check this out... > > > > http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5972632/Woman-getting-married-to-fairground-ride.html > > or > > http://tinyurl.com/l3858w > > > > > > Carol L.
