There's an actual latin name for this condition of finding inanimate objects sexually attractive but it's late and I'm not going to bother googling it for you.

that's different. people who fall in love with these pillows and with Real Dolls are falling in love with simulcra of females.

you're talking about people that fall in love with objects that do not resemble humans.

i could've sworn there was a passage in the hypnerotomachia poliphili where the dude has sex with a building, but an internets search does not find it.

there was, however, an ass with a monstrous phallus.



EDIT: oh yay here it is

This erotization of architecture comes to its logical conclusion. In three cases, Poliphilo manages to locate the appropriate orifice through which he can engage in sexual congress with particular buildings. His response, always described at length and in great detail, is sheer coital ecstacy. In one case, the effect on the building is mutual.

yeah in the last case the building "groans" in pleasure.
