I've seen the previews for this documentary, and I find the subject both shocking and fascinating. I knew about obsessions with objects, but I suppose I've led too sheltered a life to think that the obsessions would turn sexual. I often remarked that the Eiffel Tower is rather phallic; but, inasmuch as it has long been an object of my admiration (been there and loved the elevator ride to get a terrific view and a cup of delicious hot chocolate), I would never have felt a sexual attraction to it.
There was one comment in the preview that one of the persons wouldn't (or couldn't) ever have a normal relationship with another person. How terribly sad that a human couldn't connect to another human on even our most base level.
In any case, I'm looking forward to watching the documentary.
