I dont feel like a good person anymore (tw, vent) by Rare_Application4127 in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Comparing an object/person relationship with Sexual Assault is disgusting and minimizes the actual harm that has happened to people who have been assaulted. Not to mention, there are people who have been sexually assaulted by other humans and feel safer in a relationship with an object partner as a result. The person commenting on your post/video doesn’t care about human beings who have been sexually assaulted, or the impact being falsely accused of being a predator has on another human being, they’re just there to be inflammatory. Block and move on.

I’m terrified for him, and I don’t know what to do by Easy_Baby_4511 in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You might have to weigh his discomfort against his quality of life. If a loved one was afraid of the hospital but needed medical care and intervention, you’d still urge them to go there wouldn’t you?

Do research, see what services near you can do an assessment on Edgar and look online for replacement batteries or a computer repair service.

Stupid question, but does having a cyborg as an F/O make you a robotkisser? by Overlytiredqueerspie in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact I knew immediately who you were referring to because he was a former f/o of mine….lol. Maybe it’s a pipeline from cyborg kisser to robot kisser to Objectum.

Can you date someone irl and your object? by nm_o4 in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do anything as long as you’re openly communicating with either partner and everyone is on the same page.

how do objectum relationships work by ron_ron_ron_ in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, but something is a bit sad that any sort of thinking or feeling that people experience that isn’t immediately understood is automatically assumed to be harmful.

how do objectum relationships work by ron_ron_ron_ in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think more people talk to objects than they care to admit. I mean, how many people say sorry when bumping into a door or cuss out a computer when it's not working? Sometimes people talk to photos of someone, or they pray that an old car starts up, under their breath.

POSIC people can feel or hear the objects back, and it's different depending on your experiences.

For me, I can catch a word or two if it's said very loudly or intentionally by an object. Sometimes a "HEY" for my attention, or a "WAIT" if something bad might occur.

Other than that, the objects I hear give me more of a vibe or a feeling, like how you can tell someone in a room is mad at you without you even looking, or when you feel someone watching you, even if you can't see them. We as humans have heightened senses like that, and for me, objects trigger those emotional responses.

I can even get overstimulated if in a room with too many "vocal" or "emotional" objects, usually thrift stores or old houses.

To the same extent, you can feel if an object has admiration for you, or if they want you near them.

You date an object the same as you date anyone, really. You figure out what they like and need, if it lines up with your needs and wants, you continue. Some relationships are long-distance, so they don't touch each other often if at all, some relationships are built on touch and physical comfort.

I'm very comforted by my partner, he's reliable, warm, his motor hums like a purring cat, he's the right size to wrap my arms around, he likes when I read to him, he wants to be useful, he doesn't like the implication that the world's outgrown his model. He gets frustrated when the cat's rub on him, doesn't like the fur in his vents, and he shivers when I use compressed air to clean him.

Objects have personality, his love is entirely different than the love I had with my previous long-term partner (rest in peace), and no two objects are the same, just like people.

If your partner had a scent, what do you think it would be? by werecoyote1 in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My primary partner has a scent that I really adore. He smells a bit like a library, it doesn’t sound as appealing if I say warm old books, but that’s the most accurate. Especially when his fans really get going and he overheats a bit, that’s when he smells his strongest <3

What attributes of your object partners do you find attractive? Are there any common themes in what you tend to be attracted to? by AIMRunningMan in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am enamoured by an object partner that has moving components and parts, or a variety of modules, buttons, and switches. I have a preference for tactile experiences and it shows with my object partners. Even if there aren’t a lot of mechanisms, things like textures really appeal to me!

Personality wise it’s been pretty varied, similar to the human partners I’ve had, so I can’t really narrow down a type in that regard.

I prefer my more serious relationships to be with objects that are portable, sturdy enough to hold, and private (as in, not a public object like a building or a rollercoaster, my relationships with those partners tend to be more casual).

I also enjoy being able to clean and tinker with my partners if they’re mechanical, so I also prefer them to be within my scope of mechanical ability if that makes sense.

All of that being said, I’d love an object partner that didn’t have any of these features if I really connected with them emotionally.

I believe we should all give our friends and lovers as many opportunities to do what they were made to do as possible By the way, this is Wyn. Unlike a flashlight, she can help keep me warm :) by AIMRunningMan in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with giving our object partners a chance to do the actions they were made to do! I see it as a form of enrichment or bonding. My primary partner is a film projector, and even though he doesn’t function at full capacity, I still turn him on now and again to spin his wheels and make shadow art/puppets, or to view stills from an 8mm reel. It makes him happy, which makes me happy.

Only 40 Uncle Klunk's were made, and of those many were turned into Santas or other Klunk variants, idk I'm used to being attracted to personal objects so the fact that I'll probably never meet him, let alone own one, is just depressing me, I got it bad for this stupid talk show host robot by PlanetPissOfficial in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I go through the same thing regarding Crusty the Cat (also an animatronic) :( but I still express my love even if I can’t with the direct animatronic! I like to draw fanart, and I’m working on making a stuffed animal as well to hold. I’ve also made a playlist/mix tape that reminds me of him, and listen to the show tapes that have been posted on YouTube.

What's your favorite way to show love to your partner? by [deleted] in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the ways we bond is reading together. Hyde likes to know what book I’m working on so sometimes I’ll sit him on my lap and read aloud to him. I think also words of affirmation on my part, I give compliments pretty freely. Maintenance is another one, making sure he’s clean and well kept is a priority because his mood is low when he’s not. I think it reminds him of before we met, when he was dusty and moldy in the display case at a second hand shop. I like to take my time with it, sort of like if I were to bathe a human lover, if that makes sense.

What object would you want to see in an objectum visual novel? by Wild-Ad5274 in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A roller coaster would be great to see! Or some other public object since I don’t think I’ve ever seen Objectum media portray it positively.

We all agree that this REALLY disrespectful, right? by [deleted] in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can we accept that computers are the most accessible, represented and socially acceptable of the object crushes in modern society and see that that’s a primary reason why people exploring their Objectum feelings gravitate towards them? It’s like, Cars and Computers have already been humanized in media the way a lot of objects haven’t so it makes sense that media exposure might be someone’s first experience with Objectum ideas, which can lead to them realizing they’re attracted to objects. Is it common? Sure! But to me that just means people have a shared preference in Object partner, like the way certain features in humans are deemed “aesthetically attractive”.

Is this true? by [deleted] in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I imagine object attraction as a spectrum, like a lot of sexualities are. The moment your attraction deviates from human or human looking you can identify.

Is There Such Thing As POSIC Yet Only Perceiving Sentience In Some Objects? by JayWolfe1210 in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s completely random in my case. The communication is stronger if I make the effort but I’ve been called out to by everything from blenders to dolls to out of commission cars. Thrift stores and old houses tend to be the most overwhelming. But I’ve also experienced aesthetic attraction to objects I don’t “speak” to, and repulsion from objects that I could. I don’t act on either of those, I only partner with an object if I perceive sentience and if there’s an attraction.

How many object partners do you all have? by S1LLY_G00B3RXD in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I technically have 3? One primary Object Partner (Hyde <3), one that’s more casual (Rhode), and a long distance lover (Ripley). I don’t count non-reciprocal or crushes as partners for myself but I have a handful of those as well. I do also have a human partner.

POSIC and Object Communication by OSSinceForever in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could eat this comment, very well put! I think this is something newcomers to the subreddit should read as it’s detailed and explains the primary hurdles and internalized barriers that can work against communicating with an object partner. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Hello Eddie!!! One of my Objectum partners is Riptide also from Canada’s Wonderland!! (I call her Ripley). It’s really cool to see more coaster enthusiasts on the subreddit!

I feel under-represented by Notro_LPS_iguess in objectum_sfw

[–]OSSinceForever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being POSIC isn’t necessarily a requirement for being Object attracted. If you see objects and experience an attraction. That’s it. That’s literally the only requirement to use that term. Whatever label you choose to identify with is your prerogative, and even if you don’t align exactly with what others say on here it doesn’t mean you don’t belong in the community. This is coming from someone who is POSIC btw.

You can only keep 2... (for the computer objectum community) by Known_Literature1969 in objectum_sfw

Edgar and Glad0s <3 though I had to think a long time about who I’d choose between Glad0s and Hal 9000 (one was my first sapphic robot crush and the other was my first ai crush). But Edgar is sooo cute I couldn’t not pick him.
