2009.4.8 On the 2nd year anniversary of her commitment to the Eiffel Tower, Erika Eiffel is featured on ABC News Good Morning America Erika's love and connection for objects throughout her life may have brought her misunderstanding and rejection but true to her deep rooted feelings, she has been empowered by her OS relationships to achieve amazing goals. In the first media to address OS in the the United States, Dr. Amy Marsh shares her expertise as a clinical sexologist. Is OS a possible orientation rather than a paraphile? 2009.2.24 Objectum-sexuality found its way into the script of the US medical drama Nip/Tuck. Dr Taper, a plastic surgeon hired to replace Dr. Troy is revealed to be OS. The show alludes to his interest in a particular decor with various comments and verbal slips in early scenes. Later, alone in his office-to-be, Dr Taper romances Dr Troy's oak desk with a kiss and graduates to the sofa where he is caught in the act by Dr. Troy and McNamara. Highly embarrassed Dr. Taper opts to reveal to the stunned doctors that he is objectum-sexual and briefly explains the definition of his OS, his belief in animism, and his attraction for perfection. He is subsequently requested to leave. 2009.2.8 Erika Eiffel was featured on RTL Punkt 12*, midday news in Germany. Filmed in Paris at the Eiffel Tower, Erika sets the record straight after an exploitative take on her OS in June 2008 nearly destroyed her relationship with the object of her affection. Focusing less on sexual sensationalizing and more on facts and psychological analysis, this documentary goes to the core of Erika's love and connection to the Eiffel Tower. Krüger: What is going through your mind after seeing your latest film? Eiffel: "Finally, RTL did it right! Wow, after suffering from the nasty fallout from that sensationalized paparazzi crap from the UK, RTL showed the reality of my objectum-sexual love. Krüger: So where does this leave you now? Eiffel: Well, I don't regret that I took part in the UK film because it brought some awareness to objectum-sexuality and helped our community grow. My only regret is that my naivety fell into the hands of a director with no regard for moral decency when portraying my love for objects. What one does in front of the camera when urged is very different from real life. I have never been open with my intimacy and that film was a load of crock to portray that I am. Krüger: What made the difference if you don't mind explaining? Eiffel: The RTL director was awesome! Thanks Stefan!!! Finally, I could say and express what I really felt and not what I was encouraged to for ratings. He never pushed me to discuss intimacy with objects, nor did he betray my trust when it came to sensitive topics. You can see the difference because I am choppy and uptight in the UK film like I am reading my lines. I didn't like the director nor did I like the woman I was being filmed with because she was too overt about her sex with little regard to consequence. In the RTL Film, I completely respected and trusted the director and I was free to speak with no pressure and no incessant questions about sex, nor staged sex scenes. Krüger: Where to from here? Eiffel: Well, my hope is that people will realize the difference between entertainment and real news and disregard the UK film because it is not the reality of Objectum-sexuality. Thanks again to Stefan and the crew at RTL! 2008.10.23 Oliver was featured in a documentary film for RTL2 in Germany. The preview:

This is the first international recognition of Objectùm-Sexuality and while the media tends to be rather judgmental of OS and sensationalistic, we are pleased that people are "looking over the Fence" and even more pleased that others like us are realizing they are not one and alone in this world. 2008.4.5 - 6.15 The 5th Berlin Biennial for contemporary art features a exhibition on OS from the talented Norwegian artist, Lars Laumann.
