10、嫁给音响。

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岁的Emma（匿名）是恋物癖社团里唯一的一个英国人，她患有艾斯伯格症，在恋物癖人群里，几乎一半的人都患有这种疾病。艾斯伯格症患者很难跟一般人交往，Emma就对收音机和音响情有独钟。当我遇到她的时候，她正跟一台叫做Jake的音响交往，她说Jake“很坚固，很值得信任也很漂亮。”当“他”出故障的时候，她就修理“他”，平均每天和“他”“做爱”两次。撇开她的电子设备们不谈，她其实是个很孤单的人。“我想遇见更多的人，交更多朋友，”她说，“但是我觉得现在对我来说这太难了，我好害怕人们会拒绝我。”
