New Delhi: “Love is blind” – the saying has been proved several times in history. However, this time, Nathaniel, a resident of Arkansas has completely changed its meaning and usage of it. He revealed his love for his car during a documentary on Objectophilia, which came out on TLC in 2012. Nathaniel stated that he shared an unusual relationship with his 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo, called Chase. The most bizarre part of his relationship with Chase was that it was quite sexual.
During the interview for the documentary, he stated that he was sexually attracted to the car from the first time he saw it. The episode was part of TLC’s show ‘My Strange Addiction’ where Nathaniel was seen making out with his car. He explained his love for the car to TLC, “I’m in a serious relationship with my car. It was love at first sight. His body and his interior and everything just together seemed to fit. I felt an instant connection.”
The shots from the documentary showed how Nathaniel embraced the red colour of the car as if it was his partner. He talked about the particular parts of the car he admired from a curve at the bonnet to its sleek design at the sides.
The documentary explained that Nathaniel was having Objectophilia since his teenage days and developed a special bond with the model cars he used to build. However, as soon as he got Chase, he realised it was entirely different and special on another level. He met Chase in 2005 at a resale vehicle store and instantly fell in love with it.
Talking about his relationship with his car, he explained, “We have our times where things get sexual. What we do most often is, I like to lean over his fender and across his hood and do little things like that and kind of press up against him and rub against him like that.”
He revealed that one of the bold positions of making love is when Nathaniel is underneath Chase. He told TLC that Chase likes that position. For him “making love” to Chase hold a really special place in his heart.
Objectophilia or object sexuality is a psychological condition where individuals get romantically attached to objects or things.
