Love is a desire that all people take for granted that at some point in their lives, they will be able to achieve, however, this is not always possible due to different circumstances. There are situations in which the desire to find a partner becomes a problem and, in the worst case, an obsession.
Among these drawbacks is Agalmatophilia, a paraphilia that consists of feeling sexual desire towards a statue, doll, mannequin, or other similar inanimate object. In recent years, new cases have emerged on the Internet of people who claim to have started or have romantic relationships with all types of objects or beings such as rag dolls or ghosts.
Dark stories have also emerged, such as that of Felicity, an American woman who married a doll. Unlike other stories of this type, this case draws deep attention because the toy she married has a terrifying and macabre appearance that would scare anyone. According to international media, she became obsessed with the figure when she was 13 years old and at age 17 she claimed she began to experience a deeper feeling. Her fixation on her figure goes beyond the fact that she has requested that when she dies she be buried with him, she has also shared intimate details of her sexual life with her ‘husband’.
Another similar case is that of Brocarde, a British singer who married a ghost and, although she claimed that she lived happy moments with her lover, a Victorian soldier who appeared to her in her house. “I loved him at the beginning of the relationship, but things turned sour very quickly,” she said after her breakup.
Cristian Montenegro is a Colombian native who also found love in an inanimate being. After several disappointments in love, the man decided to create his own family, made up of four rag dolls. Through his social networks, he documents his day-to-day life with his peculiar family, whom he takes on walks to the park or on public transportation. As in the case of Felicity, Montenegro’s family members also cause fear due to his disturbing appearance, especially in his eyes.
