"an attempt at cowardice?" Not necessarily. It may be more an attempt at consideration for other humans. "Revealing oneself in an intimate way" is a vague statment, but there's a lot of things best not revealed to others so if you must unload them on a thing, have at it. As for the animism part, it is not necessarily pathetic either, except in the formal sense of "pathetic fallacy". Irrational it may be, but no more so than the hodgepodge of myths known as conventional religion. If a person has a strong, unexplainable reaction to something, they can be forgiven for thinking there just might be something to it that isn't all in their head. At least it's a bit more original than just swallowing what your elders tell you. I must say that some of these people, for instance the ones who use all caps so much and the ones who get busted for doing their picnic tables in view of the neighbors, don't sound like the sharpest drills in the index. A disproportionate amount of attention to these will make it seem like all objectophiles are short on brains. I don't think that is the case--I suspect the smarter ones took a peek out the closet door, saw how the dumber oens are acting and pulled the door shut again. D, thanks for showing us that some do have their act together. Sorry to find this thread so late, but it seems like it took that long to find an attempt at intelligent discussion of the subject.
“an attempt at cowardice?” Not necessarily. It may be more an attempt at consideration for other humans. “Revealing oneself in an intimate way” is a vague statment, but there’s a lot of things best not revealed to others so if you must unload them on a thing, have at it.

D, thanks for showing us that some do have their act together.

You can google it in the image section. I have been attracted to them for as long as I can remember. I think I started by playing with them when I was a child and this early fascination then became sexualised as I started to mature.. I have never been attracted to any other objects, not even other buttons, in fact I would regard an attraction to other buttons as unusual and off the wall as any one else would. However, the relationship I have with fish eye buttons is most definitely sexual to the point that I could not wear them in my regular social life as it would seem too be far too sexual for that kind of situation. If I see other people wearing them then I have to control myself and would usually wait till after the event and then take myself away and relieve myself at the first opportunity. I am very attracted to the look and feel of them, the way the light acts on them, which is quite unique. everything about them really. I told my partner about it before we ever had sex so I never had to bring it into our relationship. I am lucky in that my partner is very accomodating and caring. He even spalshes out now and again on a bag full of them as a gift when I'm not expecting it. It makes me seriously happy and hot-to-trot for less then a £1! How is that for value for money?! I hope I have managed to give you some insight into how it is for me. I imagine there are plenty more people out there with stories not that different to my own. Maybe we will hear from some of them, maybe we won't. Thanks for the reply, have a great 2008! My object is an item known as a fish eye button. You can google it in the image section.

It would be fascinating to hear more about your relationships with both your object and your partner. What is your object? How did you come to be attracted to it? Have there been other objects? If so, of same or different type? Is your relationship with the object sexual? In what way? How did your partner come to know about it? Many thanks for sharing your insights, D.

It neither infringes nor detracts. I love my partner of 5 years and I love the object for as long as I can remember. My partner is aware of my sexuality and there is no problem with it. I am also a sociable and well balanced individual. So, please don't rush to regard us as lonely and sad indiviuals. Thats not necessarily the case. Thanks for the article!
