She Fell in Love With a Roller Coaster

About this episode

This episode explores objectophilia, a rare orientation where individuals form romantic attachments to objects, featuring personal stories and psychological insights.

What does it mean to fall in love with an object? In this episode of  The StickyBeak , we explore objectophilia — a rare and often misunderstood orientation where people form deep romantic relationships with objects. From the woman who married the Berlin Wall to a modern-day objectophile in a committed relationship with a roller coaster, this documentary-style episode unpacks love, attachment, psychology, and stigma. Is it fetish? Is it identity? Or is it something more complex? A curious, nuanced look at one of the most unusual love stories you’ve never fully understood.
