When someone expresses love for an object, and you jokingly respond that if they love it so much they should marry it--well, just make sure they're not an objectophile. Objectophilia is a sexual and romantic obsession with any certain inanimate object--even the Twin Towers.

Ever since she was eight years old, Sandy K. was hopelessly in love with New York's Twin Towers. Neither of these two monumental lovers were known for being particularly talkative. Nor did they seem to be blessed with qualities of seduction. But to their admirers, the buildings were male, sexy and extremely desirable.

For 25-year-old Sandy, the attraction to things is so overpowering, she confesses: "When it comes to love, I am only attracted to objects. I couldn't imagine a love affair with a human being."
