Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Should I tell my family that I have sexual relations with an object?
Anonymous
Ever since I was about 11 I've always had a fascination with objects. I would ask my mom for money so I could go to garage sales to buy more items for my collections, I had a collection of lamps, pillows, vases, cups etc.. (my favorite has always been lamps) by time I hit 14, all my friends were getting in relationships and I just didn't get how. I just dont understand, I can't imagine dating a person or catching feelings, I've tried going on date, hookups anything but I feel nothing towards people. But, I do have feelings for this one lamp. It's gold, with silver flower designs at the base and I can feel the lamp has feelings for me too. I know it might sounds weird but i can just sense an energy, like it has a soul. I've been telling all my friends and family that I just haven't found the "right one" yet, but it feels wrong lying to them. What should I do? Should I tell them?

If this is not trolling, You should understand that those are just your hobbies and interests.
No need to tell them about this.
I think that's beautiful. I feel the same way about an old baseball glove. We are very happy together.
I don't think that telling them will get the reaction you are hoping for. But developing an emotional attachment to an inanimate object is not healthy. And maybe if you tell them they can help you get the professional help that you need.
You could tell them, but I promise they will not understand. You have objectum-sexuality, which is common among people with autism, but very rare otherwise. I don't believe you will receive any benefit from telling them.
Thank you for the advice :)
