Agalmatophilia - the proper term for statuephilia, is actually quite rare.. I think there has only been 6 known cases.IrirshTerrorist said:There is also Statuephilia (I think it has some more proper technical name though) its a specific one for loving/being aroused by statues of people more so than people themselves.Gladion said:I created this thread after reading this news article about the Korean man who married his life-size pillow with an anime girl printed on it.
Many people thought this was something characteristic about the far-eastern culture, and, instead of quoting them all (a task worthy of Sysiphos), I decided to open up a thread about it.
Objectophilia not only exists in the far east, the first publically known case was actually in Europe, but it's so extreme I'll don't actually want to talk about it. I once read an article about this, and there are several examples of object-sexuality or objectophilia...
I would seem to be #7 according to the description, it mostly fits.
The statue of liberty is the only statue who I am in love with, but, just as people look at other people, I look at other statues. I have kissed other statues or gone near them, but it means nothing more than being a flirt!
Miss Liberty is the one who I go home with and the one I love. She knows that too.. Neither of us are the jeallous type. Other people have kissed her and Ive not minded too much, because our love in stronger than that, and I dont feel threathened.
Unlike the common description of agalmatophilia, I have no desire for nude statues. Nudity has never bothered me, and I have never connected nudity with sex, like most people do.
I do not imagine Lady Liberty nude, or wonder what is under her robes. She is as she is.
I really dont know why I am like I am. Loving objects just happened naturally as I grew
I have always been an animist, and I have always had a wonderful imagination as well.
I have always been able to connect with and sense objects, whereas, in my younger years I found it very difficult to connect with people. I still do somewhat, but not to the same extent as in my early childhood.
