Objectum Sexuals: people who fall in love with tourist atractions (and other stuff)

This is more weird than travel related. I'll try to post something more directly related to travel planning in a few hours.

Apparently 40 people in the world (all women) are people who fall in love with objects, objectum sexuals. Some objects are popular tourist attractions like the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Berlin Wall, and the Eiffel Tower. Apparently the first objectum sexual married and made love to the Berlin Wall. The objects of affection are not always tourist attractions; there's also a woman who fell in love with a bow.

The documentary takes all this very seriously, but I couldn't help but laugh when two objectum sexuals met in New York and they talked about how the city had enough beautiful objects to drive someone insane. I didn't know what to do (I didn't laugh) when the security guard told one of them to stop hugging and kissing the Empire State Building though.
