OK, but let’s get to the bottom line – what about sex? With so many shapes and sizes of objects, some enormous in scale, can someone really get jiggy with a wall? “Yes, of course, we enjoy physical relations with our partners,” says Kiowa. “It’s not easy, but the connection happens even if the pieces don’t quite fit. We each have our own means of physical union. It could be simple caressing or something more. Like beauty, sexual pleasure is in the eye of the beholder.”
Some OSers have even attempted to provide guides to having sex with specific objects. A manual devoted to car-loving exists online, suggesting methods such as leather interior humping and gearstick penetration. Wall Winther makes the important distinction that, for OS people, physical union isn’t to be confused with masturbation. “If you masturbate, you see your partner as an object, something only to pleasure you,” she says. “When I have sex with the Berlin Wall, or a model of him, I want to please him too. That’s the big difference.”
