"Imagine a life where, as a woman, you crawled from your warm, empty, bed on a November morning to watch your husband be publicly executed. His crime? Existence. This is what happened to one Swedish woman. Her husband was the Berlin Wall, and on November 9, 1989, she was traumatized as her husband was brutally destroyed with hammers, and she felt absolutely destroyed as she watched people tear chunks from his body."
I just learned about Objectum Sexuals, people who are sexually orientated towards objects. They're typically women with Asperger's syndrome (which is on the autistic spectrum). They have a hard time having relationships with people and instead fall in love with objects, like the Eiffel Tower or Berlin Wall. They even hold wedding ceremonies in which they marry these objects and they claim to be intimate with them.
Here's a video if you want to learn more:
My question is should this be considered a mental disorder or a legitimate sexual orientation? Keep in mind that 50 years ago homosexuality was also considered to be a mental disorder; now we all know that it is not. Should Objectum Sexuals be provided with the same legitimacy that homosexuals have?

What? I have never heard of that. That is TOTALLY like a metal disorder. You cannot LOVE an object like a human; that is NOT real love. An object can’t give you ideas, emotional comfort and communicate feeling towards you. If anything, loving an animal makes wayyyyyyyy more sense than loving an object like the Berlin Wall. I seriously laughed out loud when I read that. **I love lamp** haha
I have to say that there is definitely something wrong with loving an object as you would a person. As Danielle pointed out, there is something missing in a relationship when you love a wall. I also don't think you can compare it to homosexuality.
The other two comments pretty much said it. Aperson that cares for an object as much as they would a person has a problem. My biggest problem with this is that the feelings aren't returned. The relationship is completely one-sided and therefore not even a relationship but more like an obsession. This person would be closer related to a stalker then a person in a relationship.
This was...interesting.
If these women shown already have A.syndrome they already have a bit of a mental disorder, so to claim that their sexual drive (which is run by the brain) is also different would be scientifically correct. In no way, shape, or form, does this coencide at ALL with homosexuality.
