Objectophilia - the love of objects; specifically in this case, lust towards.
I've always known Hyphen, with his poor eyesight and his... "developmentally challenged"-ness is pretty odd, and has a "thing" for several objects.
He's not particularly picky - he's had affairs with hearth-places, food bowls, mattresses...
He particularly loves "teddy", flirting, displaying and then carting "her" off to his home.
But I was caught offguard by Rob today though - turns out he found a ball of craft-string to be delightfully feminine in its wiles. "She" had him all tied up in knots. Literally.
OMGosh! That is SOOO cute! I have two girls and one boy who would probably be considered a teenager. He doesn't do anything like THAT The basic head bobbing and puffing at the girls, don't know if he wants to mate with them or beat them up, LOL! My older girl has laid eggs though.
Our boy absolutely hates our dogs stuffed rabbit squeaky toy. Whenever he sees it when he's out, he makes a beeline for it, does some threatening side ways puffs at it, then lunges and bites it, worries it, and drags it around. When he stops his beard is all black and he's puffed up. So funny, our dog does not know what to make of it!
