Auto Erotic??

Ok Those that know me know I have a teensy weeny trash TV addiction..  But I figure since My Strange Addiction comes on The Learning Channel it should count as educational TV right??  There have been some kooky people on the show, the lady that eats cat food, the lady that eats dryer sheets, there was one that ate rocks, sniffing baby power, the adult baby, etc etc.. but this guy.. THIS guy takes the cake for me. His addiction?? He is in a committed relationship with his CAR. There are so many things that have me scratching my head. First of them is that he named the car Chase, so that makes the car male. So is he Homoautoerotic?? He also says he is intimate with the car. Yes yes the tailpipe seems like the most OBVIOUS choice for coitus with a car, but our fellow here says he prefers for the car to be on top.  Oooo kaaaayyy. He also takes his car on dates, their favorite location is lookout point of course. He feels the car also reciprocates his love and affection and sees them as a "couple" . He even came out of the garage ( so to speak ;-) ) and told his dad about his relationship with Chase. I have to give kudos' to his dad, he took it waaaay better that most dads would to find out that his son is in sexual relationship with a car named Chase on national television. The clips of him kissing and fondling was just so very disturbing and uncomfortable to watch. He said he had had relationships with women before but they did not fulfill him like Chase does. I wonder if it is just the fact that another person has a voice box and a brain and can voice an opinion, vs ruin the fantasy and dialogue he has in his head for what the person. or in his case thing, should be thinking. Or maybe it's because the girls don't have a tailpipe??  I looked it up.. and this condition is called Object sexuality and defined as follows :   a pronounced emotional and often romantic desire towards developing significant relationships with particular inanimate objects. Those individuals with this expressed preference may feel strong feelings of attraction, love, and commitment to certain items or structures of their fixation. For some, sexual or even close emotional relationships with humans are incomprehensible. Object-sexual individuals also often believe in animism, and sense reciprocation based on the belief that objects have souls, intelligence, feelings, and are able to communicate.[2] Contrary to sexual fetishism, the object to an OS person is viewed as their partner and not as a means to an end to enhance a human sexual relationship. One thing I know for sure is that next time I hear someone say that they LOVE their car I will wonder if they are IN LOVE with their car. LOL. And I will probably have horrible flashbacks from watching this episode of this show. *shudder*
