'''Objectum Sexuality, '''also known as '''Objectum''', '''Objectum Romanticism (OS/OR), or Pygmaliosexual''', is the attraction to inanimate objects. This attraction can be [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]], [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]], or both, it can also be a form of [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]]. The objects that an objectum (or 'OS') individual is attracted to are often called "beloved objects", these objects often have names and personalities to the objectum
Beloved objects can be "private objects", meaning objects that one owns, which can include: toys, cars/trucks, plants, musical instruments, articles of clothing, etc. They can also be "public objects", meaning objects that are something public or in a public space, which can include: buildings, bridges, machines, statues, fences, water, amusement park rides, etc. Objects do not have to be tangible and can also include things such as logos, letters, or concepts. Some objectum individuals are [[polyamorous]], and are dedicated to many objects, while some are devoted to a single object. Objectum individuals can be attracted to individuals as well or they could be exclusively attracted to objects.
Line 8:
Some objectum individuals believe in animism; the idea that everything has a spirit or spiritual energy, including individuals, plants, animals, and objects. Others have noted the high number of OS individuals who identify as being on the autism spectrum, leading to the accepted understanding that there are two separate ways to experience objectum sexuality. Some autistic OS individuals have stated that they do not identify as animists and do not feel that objects have a spirit, but that their attraction is the result of synesthesia<ref>'Objectum sexuality: A sexual orientation linked with autism and synaesthesia': https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31882730/</ref>. Regardless, objectum individuals will often talk to their beloved objects and many feel that the object talks back in its own way.
