She Fell in Love With a Roller Coaster

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.
