Object of affection

Object of affection

At lunch the other day, a coworker was telling me about this documentary she saw about people who fall in love with inanimate objects. The one case was a woman who was in love with the Eiffel Tower and the other woman was in love with a bridge.

I had heard of objectophilia / objectum-sexuality but not specifically of cases where the object object of affection was a structure. I wonder if that is a common target for women with this condition. Is the (perceived) stability and permanence of architecture the source of attraction?
