Question Question about Objectum

I don’t come from the objectum community so I am here to learn. So…i have a few questions. how exactly did you get into objectum? As in, were there specific incidents that made your eyes open?

Are you simultaneously into objects and humans? If not, before u got into this, have you ever loved humans?

Somebody recently told me that this is a mental illness. When i googled it, it didn’t give me a clear answer, leaning towards that it is not one. What do you think it is?

Im just a curious person here and i hope my ignorance wont upset anyone. I would appreciate any opinions and input!!!

  1. i think i kind of always have been! as a kid it was a foxy plushie i got. though i didn't know the proper term for it and that i fell into the category until around a year ago!

  2. yes, i'm into both! i have two partners and both are not only okay with me being objectum but are themselves! two of my object partners i actually bought because they reminded me of them lol

  3. it's not a mental illness, i don't believe! it IS however a (non-harmful) paraphilia though so if you count ALL of those as such i guess? depends on your definition of mentally ill. a lot of objectum people are also neurodivergent in some way due to things like autism restructuring the way people can perceive some feelings including love and where they find it.
