On Sunday, National Geographic Channel will show people who are in love with a car and a wall. Not just any wall, we’re talking with the Berlin Wall. Yes, that wall. There are people like this. The BBC chronicled a woman who is in love with the Golden Gate Bridge. I kid you not. In fact, it’s the same woman who will be in the latest episode of National Geographic Channel’s Taboo series. The woman calls herself an Objectum Sexual. Not many people understand it and I’m one of them. But if this is what helps them get through life and they’re not harming anyone, then let them live.
Here’s Nat Geo’s press release plus a couple of video clips.
TABOO: FORBIDDEN LOVE
Sunday, June 12 at 9PM ET/PThttp://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/taboo/5332/Overview
Love can come in many different — and bizarre — forms. In Washington State, we meet a man with “objectum sexual,” who has an emotional, romantic and often sexual attraction to his car, named Vanilla. In Germany, we’ll introduce you to the founder of the Objectum Sexual International Forum, who is in a loving relationship with the Berlin Wall. And we’ll meet a married couple in California whose concept of monogamy has an odd twist — she works as a professional sex surrogate who has slept with more than 900 men.
