Something that came out of the BBC program is that, while unconventional, this state of mind or condition, whatever it is, is very real to the women (around 40 worldwide) who are known to be objectum sexuals. The comment that objectum sexuals are mostly women was rather interesting, and there seemed to be a correlation to a "broken" relationship with the father that was carried further into an inability to hold a "normal" relationship with a male. An article I found online (I don't know how reliable the source) suggested some level of childhood abuse or traumatic relationship.
Asperger's Disorder was also raised as a possible commonality among a small number of the women. Whatever the case may be, it was interesting to see how the women featured in the program felt their own sense of joy when talking about the objects of their affection.
Personally, I still don't "get it," this notion than a human could have such a strong visceral connection to an object that would otherwise be shared with another human.
Then again, we're all only human and who knows what really makes anyone "tick."
