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.
