JAKARTA - Erika Labrie is an Objectum Sexual (OS) sufferer. He tends to have a sexual attraction towards inanimate objects.
For most of her life, Erika's sexual orientation was met with ridicule or disgust. In 2007, she changed her last name to Eiffel after marrying her partner of 10 years - Eiffel Tower.
“Everyone has a type they are attracted to. That includes OS people, "Erika said as quoted by the Daily Star, Wednesday, December 30.
"I find my type is an object that is misunderstood by the world. The Eiffel Tower is surrounded by millions of tourists who are in love with each other, not him," he added.
A year after her marriage, the documentary titled Married to the Eiffel Tower exploded online. The OS community believes the audience is fascinated by the wrong reasons.
"This documentary raises the misconception that OS people tend to object for control due to factors such as abuse and mental illness," he explained.
The film leaves the spiritual and emotional side of the relationship unconventional, and makes it seem fetishistic or crazy, reports News.com.au. This causes Erika to be rejected by friends and family.
After 10 years, his relationship with the Eiffel Tower ended, but it has entered something new - one that he kept secret.

"I have accepted defeat. After all, Eiffel will always have a place in my heart. It is something the media cannot engrave on my chest. Although at times it felt as though they had tried it. "
Erika knows about her OS tendencies from childhood. She didn't realize she was different until adolescence when other people started dating and she had deep feelings for the bridge near where she lived.
