Meet the Woman Who Dated And Married A Briefcase After Five Years (Photos)

Rain Gordon

A Russian woman has shocked family and friends after getting married to a briefcase she dated for five years.

According to reports, Rain Gordon, from Russia, bought her future “husband” in a hardware store five years ago. She’s sharing her story to help raise awareness about objectum sexual people, and to break down the stigma

Rain Gordon said she has always felt captivated by objects, and this eventually grew into a romantic and sexual attraction.

She tied the knot with the case, who she named Gideon, in a ceremony in June this year, officiated by a pal.

The 24-year-old said that although she has had relationships with men in the past, she was always more attracted to objects than to people, and she was always happier in her relationships with objects.

Rain, a Nursery school teacher from Moscow, Russia said: “My fascination with objects began at the age of eight.

“From my childhood I believed that a soul is embedded in objects, as well as everything around us. I believe in animism, which means that there is life in everything.

“During my childhood and early teenage years, I fell in love with places such as the new shopping centre that opened in my city. I knew that it was wrong, and beyond the norms of society. I didn’t tell anyone.”

Speaking about the briefcase, she said: “I had no idea that we would end up together. I admired how he looked, but I didn’t think anything more.

“But then I started liking Gideon for more than that. I slowly realised I was starting to fall in love.

“I’d want to look at him for hours and feel his presence. After another few months in November the relationship began.

“We shared our first hug and kiss, and we spent more time together in the evenings and nights. We could have philosophical conversations for three or four hours.

“Our spiritual connection and communication is shown telepathically. I hear him, and he hears me, but from the outside it looks like a monologue.

“Gideon is more than just a partner to me. He is a husband, a friend and a mentor. “His moral support helps me more than anyone else. Sometimes I feel like Gideon knows me better than I do.”

Rain added that despite branching out into a new relationship with a man in 2017 – while still in a relationship with Gideon – but said she could not connect with him in the same way, and would always choose Gideon over another man.

She said: “I am not a strict objectum sexual, and I am not against relationships with people.

“But I have never found myself with a person who could overshadow my attraction and fill my heart in the same way as I feel with Gideon.

“I was with a man in 2017 and the relationship lasted two years, but it did not end well. He discovered my addiction to objects and this was one of the reasons why we broke up.

“I couldn’t connect with him. When faced with a choice between him and Gideon, I chose Gideon without any hesitation.

“I always have and always will choose him. For me, objects – although I don’t really like using that word – really are better than people.”

While at first Rain did not tell anyone about her relationship, she eventually told some of her friends and her brother, who she says have all been very understanding.

After five years together, Rain and Gideon got married in June this year and the pair even have special wedding rings with individual engravings on them.

The pair were wed by a friend online, and while Rain recognised that the marriage is unofficial and not legalised, she is the happiest she has ever been.

She said: “In May, just before my birthday, I received a gift that I could not even dream of. I got a proposal.

“I happily agreed and made an order for wedding rings, with individual engravings for myself and for him.

“The wedding was in June but we held the ceremony much later in a hotel room in October.

“This is not the first time I have booked a hotel simply because we would like to spend time together.

“We were wed by my friend online, and my friends and brother were at the ceremony.

“I was so happy. Although the wedding is not officially legalised, I was pleased to know our relationship moved to a higher level.”

Rain is now sharing her story to help raise awareness about objectum sexuals and to break down the misconceptions and stigma surrounding this orientation.

She added: “The sight of Gideon makes my heart skip a beat. I am madly in love with silver, mirror reflections and metal.

“People don’t understand my feeling. I’ve been told I’m sick and to seek treatment.

“I don’t let it offend me anymore. Objectum sexuals don’t pose any threat to themselves or others.

“To ridicule and humiliate us for the fact that the ones we love are not like everyone else is disgusting. Love is love.

“I wish people were more understanding. Don’t judge people for something you don’t understand.

“I really hope one day the topic of objectum sexuals will be more known throughout the world, so others like me will not feel so alone.”
