10、嫁給音響。

Emma (not her real name), 43, the only British member of OS (objectum sexual) community, suffers from Asperger syndrome – a condition which seems to be shared by around half of OS people. Asperger sufferers often have difficulties forming relationships with other people, and Emma's fixations are radios and hi-fis. When I met her, she was in love with a hi-fi system which she called Jake. Jake, she says, is "solid, reliable and beautiful". She repairs "him" when he goes wrong, and "makes love" to him on average twice a day. Aside from her electricals, Emma leads a solitary existence. "I would like to meet more people and to have friends," she says, "but I just think it is too difficult now. I am scared they will reject me."

43歲的Emma（匿名）是戀物癖社團里唯一的一個英國人，她患有艾斯伯格癥，在戀物癖人群里，幾乎一半的人都患有這種疾病。艾斯伯格癥患者很難跟一般人交往，Emma就對收音機和音響情有獨鐘。當我遇到她的時候，她正跟一臺叫做Jake的音響交往，她說Jake“很堅固，很值得信任也很漂亮。”當“他”出故障的時候，她就修理“他”，平均每天和“他”“做愛”兩次。撇開她的電子設備們不談，她其實是個很孤單的人。“我想遇見更多的人，交更多朋友，”她說，“但是我覺得現在對我來說這太難了，我好害怕人們會拒絕我。”
