In 2007, a woman named Erika Eiffel made headlines around the world when she married the Eiffel Tower in a commitment ceremony.

Yes — the actual iron structure in Paris.

Erika identifies as an objectum sexual, meaning she feels romantic and emotional attraction to inanimate objects. Before the Eiffel Tower, she had strong emotional connections with other objects, including a fencing sword (she was a world-class fencer).

She even changed her last name to “Eiffel” after the ceremony.

And here’s the twist: she’s not alone. There’s a small but growing community of people who form deep, personal relationships with objects — from buildings and bridges to roller coasters and chandeliers.

Psychologists don’t fully understand it yet, but the condition is real, and so are the feelings of those who experience it.
