A young woman who is sexually attracted to objects has announced she's in a relationship with a plane.
Sarah Rodo, 23, identifies as an 'Objectum Sexual,' which means that she is sexually attracted to inanimate objects.
She says that she feels an overwhelming love towards the passenger plane that she now refers to as her boyfriend.
Sarah, who is from Dortmund, Germany, has given relationships with humans a go but claims the aircraft make her feel complete.
She even has 50 replica models that sleep in her bed and she gets physical with.
She's so in love that she regularly travels by plane so she can remain close to her partner.
Sarah loves to spend her free time plane spotting and has two tattoos of her beau on her arm, and even dreams of marrying the Boeing 737 named 'Dicki'.
However, such a marriage ceremony would be deemed illegal in her native country.
"I've been attracted to objects since I was a teenager - I first noticed it when I was 14 years old," she said.
"Before the plane, I was on the ICE 3, which is an express train.
"I've also had two relationships with men because I just wasn't sure what my real sexuality was but I soon realised that I can't feel these romantic things for people - now I know that my sexuality is objectophilia and I stand by it.
"I noticed that I wasn't attracted to people when I didn't want to cuddle or become intimate with them unlike my objects where I crave cuddles and being intimate - it's the best sex I've ever had!
"My plane is called 'Dicki' and he takes up almost my entire bed.
"I love everything about him, but particularly his face, wings and engine - they're so sexy to me."
When Sarah first laid eyes on her lover, she instantly fell in love and now takes regular flights around Europe to see as much of 'Dicki' as possible.
She added: "I felt love immediately and just want to be with him all the time - he makes me the happiest person.
"I also fly very often so that I can simply feel and hear him.
"When I'm with my 737, I'm over the moon I love him so incredibly much - I just feel safe with him and want to spend all my time with him.
"I try to fly as often as possible and go plane spotting at the airport. - I take a small model with me when I leave the house so I feel like I'm always with him.
"Some people don't understand my love but my friends took my coming-out very well and encouraged me.
"I would love to marry him more than anything but it's forbidden in Germany."
