Hi All - Back on TIPS from a long hiatus (but have been lurking for a few 
weeks.....)....Objectum sexuality would be classified as a "Paraphilia Not 
Otherwise Specified" (Code 302.9) in DSM-IV, along with with necrophilia, 
telephone scatologia, zoophilia, and other paraphilias you don't want to know 
about (trust me on this one).  P.S.  DSM-V is not due out until 2012 (but who 
knows when it will actually appear).

    Does this posting earn me the TIPSTER of the week (only kidding...I hope)? 
. ....Scott

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.

"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.
