- Objectophile comes from the German term Objektophil. Objectum-Sexual is the English term coined in the 1970’s. It is just a regional difference but they both represent the same thing. However, objectophile in the English sense can imply a paraphilia and negative connotation so we are keener to use objectum-sexual as it refers to our orientation by bridging the Latin term for object with sexuality which defines the inclination to develop significant relations with objects, not a sexual act with objects.
